How do I find an entity's small business status?

An entity's size is based on the size metrics provided in comparison with the North American Industrial Classification codes and the Small Business Administration's size standards table for each of those codes. An entity is not considered small or other than small as a whole but rather in terms of each of the NAICS in keeping with SBA regulations. Contracting Officers are required to check the representations and certifications created by the entity and then they determine the size of that entity for a given award.

• Go to SAM. Search for the entity
• Click on View Details for the entity you need to view
• Click on Representations and Certifications in the menu bar on the left
• Scroll down to 52.212-3 or 52.219-1 and click on the provision.
