Small Business Reference Guide

Size Regulations

The United States of America requires use of small business subcontracting suppliers on programs funded by agencies of the U.S. government. Many subcontracting opportunities are therefore limited to small businesses that are U.S. owned and operated. To determine your company’s status, this reference guide may be helpful. To be considered a U.S. Small Business for subcontracting purposes, a company must be organized for profit, independently owned and operated, and not dominant in its field of operation. It must also operate primarily within the United States; or, if not, it must make a significant contribution to the U.S. economy through payment of taxes or use of American products, materials, or labor. Finally, it must meet the size standard for the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) of the product or service it is providing under the terms of its contract or subcontract. These rules are set forth in SBA’s regulations (Code of Federal Regulations, or CFR, Title 13, Part 121).
