The determination to make a class small business set-aside shall not depend on the existence of a current acquisition if future acquisitions can be clearly foreseen.\n(b) The determination to set aside a class of acquisitions for small business may be either unilateral or joint.\n(c) Each class small business set-aside determination shall be in writing and must—\n(1) Specifically identify the product(s) and service(s) it covers;\n(2) Provide that the set aside does not apply to any acquisition automatically under 19.502-2(a).\n(3) Provide that the set-aside applies only to the (named) contracting office(s) making the determination; and\n(4) Provide that the set-aside does not apply to any individual acquisition if the requirement is not severable into two or more economic production runs or reasonable lots, in the case of a partial class set-aside.\n(d) The contracting officer shall review each individual acquisition arising under a class small business set-aside to identify any changes in the magnitude of requirements, specifications, delivery requirements, or competitive market conditions that have occurred since the initial approval of the class small business set-aside. If there are any changes of such a material nature as to result in probable payment of more than a fair market price by the Government or in a change in the capability of small business concerns to satisfy the requirements, the contracting officer may withdraw or modify (see 19.502-9(a)) the unilateral or joint set-aside by giving written notice to the SBA PCR (or, if a PCR is not assigned, see 19.402(a)) stating the reasons.","path":["Title 48—Federal Acquisition Regulations System","CHAPTER 1—FEDERAL ACQUISITION REGULATION","SUBCHAPTER D—SOCIOECONOMIC PROGRAMS","PART 19—SMALL BUSINESS PROGRAMS","Subpart 19.5—Small Business Total Set-Asides, Partial Set-Asides, and Reserves"],"source_url":"https://www.ecfr.gov/api/versioner/v1/full/2026-08-25/title-48.xml","current_through":"2026-08-25","vintage":"","retrieved_at":"2026-08-27T02:26:29Z","sha256":"82b1b39a0370f789c6e7debfa6b6bc816b4e83d413f6af78ab7ded45fbb414b6","source_id":"us-cfr","stale":true,"prev":"us/48-cfr-19.502-5","next":"us/48-cfr-19.502-7"},"notice":"GroundRules: Original legal text.
