A.2 SYSTEM FOR AWARD MANAGEMENT (SAM), SIZE STANDARDS, AND NAICS CODES

A.2.1 The Government will utilize North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code 339113 (Surgical Appliance and Supplies

A.2.2 Failure to register in SAM and certify to the same or smaller size standard of the corresponding NAICS code identified in paragraph A.2.1 prior to submitting a proposal against this solicitation may preclude an award being made to your company.

A.2.3 Offerors should be aware of how U.S. Small Business (SB) concerns are defined in FAR Part 19, Defense Federal Acquisition

Regulation Supplement (DFARS) Part 19, and 13 CFR 121, Small Business Size Regulations. The Small Business Administration (SBA) has a specific set of rules that explain when another person, business or entity is considered an affiliate for size standard purposes. The

SBA determines whether an entity qualifies as a small business concern by counting its receipts, employees, or other measures including those of all its domestic and foreign affiliates. SBA's rules on affiliation for its programs (except for Small Business Innovation

Research and Small Business Technology Transfer programs) are found at 13 C.F.R 121.103.
