View Rule

This rule will make changes to the limitations on subcontracting, the nonmanufacturer rule, and subcontracting plans.  Changes will be made in areas such as: the time period used to determine compliance with applicable limitations on subcontracting for certain contracts; past performance evaluations for concerns exceeding the limitations on subcontracting; nonmanufacturer waivers for multi-item procurements and limitations on the effective period of an individual nonmanufacturer waiver; the time period in which an approved commercial subcontracting plan is effective; the indirect costs to be included in subcontracting goals; and the costs to be included or excluded in the contractor’s calculation of the subcontracting base. This rule implements regulatory changes made in the Small Business Administration’s final rule published in April 27, 2023.
