However, see SBA Size Determination link provided in the socioeconomic information section above to determine if the company is a small business. See SBA Size Determination page to determine small business size and following definitions: https://www.sba.gov/contracting/getting-started-contractor/make-sure-you-meet-sba-size-standards/summary-size-standards-industry-sector.
