SBA Size Standard Adjustment GSA Unveils Federal Acquisition Service GSA to add Voice Services to IT Schedule Small Business Set-aside for Alliant Contract SBA Size Standards Federal Business Certifications		SBA Size Standard Adjustment The U.S. Small Business Administration has increased its small business size standards to account for inflation, restoring small business eligibility to those firms that may have lost their small business status because of inflation since February 2002. SBA has adjusted its dollar based small business size standards, which are based on receipts, net worth and financial assets, to reflect inflation that has occurred since February 2002, when SBA last adjusted them for the same reason. Since the February 2002 inflation adjustment, prices have generally increased 8.7 percent. SBA increased the familiar “anchor” size standard from $6.0 million to $6.5 million. Size standards that are higher than $6 million also reflect similar percentage increases. “These changes to our size standards and eligibility criteria will ensure that growing small businesses whose growth has matched the inflation rate will continue to have access to SBA’s financial and contracting assistance programs,” said SBA Administrator Hector V. Barreto. “We decided to make these changes immediately, rather than wait, because of the pressing needs that so many small businesses have in the Gulf Coast and in Florida from the recent destructive hurricanes.”
