CRITICAL INFORMATION
Small Business Administration Announces Revised Table of Size Standards
In April 2019, the Small Business Administration (SBA) released a plan to enact revised size standards for small businesses. This rule, that went into effect August 19, 2019, changes small business size standards to include monetary-based adjustments due to inflation. Under these changes, the amount of small businesses eligible for SBA loan and contracting programs is expected to rise. For businesses registered in the System for Award Management (SAM.gov), you must update your SAM registration in order to have your small business status updated based on the new size standards effective August 19, 2019. Until the SAM registration is updated, the SAM profiles will continue to display the small business status under the old size standards.

Given my contracting officer background and CEO Brian Dunn’s vision for Winvale, I believe it’s a very exciting match to be a part of.”
