reporting, recordkeeping or other compliance requirements for small 
entities other than the small organizations that will furnish the 
products and service to the Government.

entities to furnish the products and service to the Government.

accomplish the objectives of the Javits-Wagner-O'Day Act (41 U.S.C. 46-
