25 IAC 1.5-3-4 Certification as a small business

Sec. 4. (a) Any business which makes an offer in the case of a small business procurement or in the case of a small business project shall certify that it is a small business within the meaning of 25 IAC 1.5. (b) The department shall presume the representations contained in the small business certification submitted by an offeror are true, thereby qualifying the offeror as a small business. However, this presumption may be rebutted under 25 IAC 1.5-4-1, under 25 IAC 1.5-4-2 or if the department has reason to question the representations contained in the certification. (c) The department may require a business which submits an offer as a small business to provide information the department considers necessary to demonstrate that the business is a small business.
