Business Credit and Assistance. Part121:Small business size regulations. Section121.1103:What are the procedures for appealing a NAICS code or size standard designation?
(a)(1) Any interested party adversely affected by a NAICS code designation may appeal the designation to OHA. An interested party would include a business concern seeking to change the NAICS code designation in order to be considered a small business for the challenged procurement, regardless of whether the procurement is reserved for small businesses or unrestricted. The only exception is that, for a sole source contract reserved under SBA’s 8(a) Business Development program (see part 124 of this chapter), only SBA’s Associate Administrator for Business Development may appeal the NAICS code designation.
