Agencies must measure the extent of small business participation in their acquisition programs by taking the following actions:
(a) Require each prospective contractor to represent whether it is a small business, veteran-owned small business, service-disabled veteran-owned small business, HUBZone small business, small disadvantaged business or women-owned small business concern (see the provision at 52.219-1, Small Business Program Representations).
(b) Accurately measure the extent of participation by small business, veteran-owned small business, service-owned veteran-owned small business, HUBZone small business, small disadvantaged business, and women-owned small businesses concerns in Government acquisitions in terms of the total value of contracts placed during each fiscal year, and report data to the SBA at the end of each fiscal year (see Subpart 4.6).
(c) When the contract includes the clause at 52.219-28, Post Award Small Business Program Rerepresentation, and the conditions in the clause are met-
(1) Require a contractor that represented itself as a small business concern prior to award of the contract to rerepresent its size status; and
(2) Permit a contractor that represented itself as other than a small business concern prior to award to rerepresent its size status.
