Good morning, should we be counting independent contractors/consultants (1099rs) as 'small' business and allowing them to self certify as any other small business may under the socio-economic classifications? (these are individuals performing under their SSN, not LLCs or Corps with one person)
Thank you.

Yes, if you are going to hire them to be subcontractors under government contracts or subcontracts. They are business concerns. See 13 CFR 121.105.

sunset - You might find the following artilce from the August 2012 NCMA's CM Magazine a good read with regard to 1099 contractors.

Thanks for your input 'Mr.' Vern and I apologize for adding the 'e'
to C. Culham, I did read that article and it was very well done. I have quite tight processes in place regarding co-employment issues, including a checklist of our own for determination. My question really was regarding the Reps and Certs issue which we are updating our forms and some folks in our org needed to know that the 'government' recognizes (and the industry does count them) the individual's size status when they are indeed an independent contractor 'subcontracted' to us under a Fed contract. Thanks!
