To qualify as a small business for purposes of selling another entity’s manufactured products, a company must be a “nonmanufacturer.” But this seemingly simple term is quite complicated and means much more than “not being the manufacturer.” In this webinar, government contracts attorneys Shane McCall and Nicole Pottroff cover the nonmanufacturer rule in plain English, including the four-part test, SBA waivers, special rules for “kitters,” the exception for certain procurements below the simplified acquisition threshold, and more.

Target Audience: Small businesses pursuing federal market opportunities
