Subject: Business Utilization and Development Memorandum (BUDM) 03-03, Supplement 1 - Removal of Large Businesses from PRO-Net

Reference is made to memorandum, US Small Business Administration, June 6, 2003, Subject: Small Business Size Protests (attached).

This supplement clarifies the point raised in the basic BUDM, i.e., that contracting officers should be proactive when reviewing offerors' small business self-certifications. In the attached memorandum, the Small Business Administration (SBA) points out that SBA, not contracting officers, has the authority to decide small business size protests.

Should you have any questions on this subject, please contact Ron Simonich at 303-445-2447.
