          Subpart A--Size Eligibility Provisions and Standards
 
Sec. 121.411  What are the size procedures for SBA's Section 8(d) Subcontracting Program?

    (a) Prime contractors may rely on the information contained in SBA's 
Procurement Automated Source System (PASS), or equivalent data base 
maintained or sanctioned by SBA, as an accurate representation of a 
concern's size and ownership characteristics for purposes of maintaining 
a small business source list. Even though a concern is on a small 
business source list, it must still qualify and self-certify as a small 
business at the time it submits its offer as a section 8(d) 
subcontractor.
    (b) Upon determination of the successful subcontract offeror for a 
competitive subcontract, but prior to award, the prime contractor must 
inform each unsuccessful subcontract offeror in writing of the name and 
location of the apparent successful offeror.
    (c) The self-certification of a concern subcontracting or proposing 
to subcontract under section 8(d) of the Small Business Act may be 
protested by the contracting officer, the prime contractor, the 
appropriate SBA official or any other interested party.
