SBA Modifies Time At Which Size Status Is Determined
Client Alert | 1 min read | 12.12.06
On November 15, 2006, the Small Business Administration ("SBA") amended its regulations (effective June 30, 2007) to require that (1) within 30 days of a merger, acquisition, or approved novation, a contractor must recertify its size status or inform the contracting agency that it is other than small; and (2) for contracts with durations of more than 5 years (including multiple award schedule contracts, MACs, and GWACs), the contractor must recertify its size status no more than 120 days prior to the end of the fifth year of the contract and no more than 120 days prior to the exercise of any option thereafter. A contractor's inability to recertify small business size status will not render the contractor ineligible to continue performance or require termination of the affected contract(s), but the contracting agency will no longer be able to count options or orders under such contracts towards its small business goals.

FCC Clarifies Covered List for Power Inverters and Advanced Robotic Devices
On July 28, 2026, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) updated its Covered List — established through the Secure and Trusted Communications Networks Act — to include foreign-produced connected power inverters and advanced robotic devices, following an executive branch national security determination that they “pose unacceptable risks to the national security of the United States or the safety and security of United States persons.” Equipment on the Covered List is ineligible for FCC equipment authorization, effectively prohibiting the import, sale, or marketing of those products without an exception or approval.
