“(i) the acquiring small business concern is a program participant; and

“(ii) upon a request submitted prior to the passage of the contract or the actual relinquishment of ownership and control, as applicable, the Administrator (or the delegee of the Administrator) determines that the acquiring small business concern would otherwise be eligible to directly receive the award pursuant to this subsection.”.
