The NAICS code associated with this requirement is 334513, Instruments and Related Products Manufacturing For Measuring, Displaying, and Controlling Industrial Process Variables, which has a size standard of 500 employees. Based on this standard, MKS Instruments (the manufacturer) is considered a large business. Pursuant to the non-manufacturing rule, in order for a contractor to be considered a small business under the applicable size standard, the contractor shall provide either its own product or that of another domestic small business. Because this is a brand name requirement for a product of a large business, any small business providing this product will also be considered a large business. Therefore, this requirement will be to open all businesses regardless of size.
