- Excerpt from The Rotech Decision

- September 19, 2014 decision of the U.S. Court of Federal Claims, COFC No. 14-502C, holding that the plain language of the nonmanufacturer rule in the Small Business Act applies to “any” supplies being procured via small business set-asides

- Therefore, these supplies must be provided by another small business unless SBA has granted a waiver of the nonmanufacturer rule

- The ruling would require even those supplies procured as an ancillary part of service or construction contracts to be procured from small businesses absent a waiver
