The SBA change is effective immediately. However, for purposes of federal procurement, this change applies to solicitations, except for noncompetitive section 8(a) contracts issued on or after Jan 5, 2006. For purposes of non-competitive section 8(a) contracting actions, the new size standards apply to offers of requirements accepted by SBA on or after Jan 5, 2006.
