Question#1 - The last line mentions "A standard size of $9 million", what exactly is that figure for?

· To be a small business, vendors must adhere to industry size standards established by the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA). The SBA, for most industries, defines a "small business" either in terms of the average number of employees over the past 12 months, or average annual receipts over the past 5 years.

The SBA’s industry size standards then correspond to the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS). For federal government procurements, vendors must meet the small business size standard that corresponds to the NAICS code selected by the contracting officer for that opportunity, whether it be a request for quote, proposal, etc.

In this case, the $9M refers to the average annual receipts over the past 5 years.
