What the authority record establishes
SBA Size Standards and 13 CFR Part 121 defines an authoritative part of the federal acquisition, award-data, small-business, vehicle, or contract-administration environment. The record must be read with its current text, scope, status, and procurement-specific facts.
Binding regulations with official guidance and procurement-specific determinations
The exact official title, issuing body, jurisdiction, version or application record, and linked source define the scope of this page. Readers should not transfer the authority's status to a commercial product or infer transaction-, patient-, system-, site-, or organization-specific applicability from this summary.
Why it matters to this market
Size depends on the procurement's NAICS code, applicable threshold, receipts or employees, affiliates, and timing. A profile label or historical award does not decide size.
