Recertification

Process of re-verifying small business status.

Definition

Recertification is the process of verifying a contractor's small business status. It's required at specific points including option exercise, contract novation, or merger/acquisition. A business that outgrows its size standard must recertify as other than small, affecting future set-aside eligibility.
