A State or local government may not add unrelated eligibility or certification requirements to a federally funded program for a qualifying small disadvantaged business. Any added requirement must relate to the business’s ability to provide the requested products or services.

A small business that is certified, or otherwise meets the criteria for a program under section 637(a), may participate as a small disadvantaged business in a program or project funded wholly or partly by the Federal Government. A State or one of its political subdivisions may not require that business to meet extra criteria or obtain extra certification unless the requirement relates to the business’s ability to provide the requested products or services.
