FAR RIN: 9000-AO18 Publication ID: Fall 2024 
Title: Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR); FAR Case 2020-016, Rerepresentation of Size and Socioeconomic Status 
Abstract:

This rule will require small business concerns that represented their status as any of the small business concerns identified at FAR 19.000(a)(3) to represent their size and socioeconomic status for all set-aside orders issued under an unrestricted multiple-award contract, unless the order is issued against an authorized reserve for which size and/or status was required. Additionally, rerepresentation is required for orders issued under a total or partial set-aside multiple-award contract where the orders require a different socioeconomic status. Orders issued under Federal Supply Schedule contracts are exempt from the requirement to rerepresent size and/or socioeconomic status; however, the contracting officer has the discretion to require a representation for an order. This rule is being issued in accordance with the Small Business Administration final rule published October 16, 2020, titled "Consolidation of Mentor-Protégé Programs and Other Government Contracting Amendments.”
