Understanding NAICS Codes in Federal Contracting
What is a NAICS Code?
The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) is the standard used by federal agencies to classify businesses by industry. Every federal contract is assigned a primary NAICS code that determines:
- Small business size standards for the contract
- Which contractors are eligible to compete
- Industry benchmarks for pricing and performance
Choosing Your NAICS Codes
When registering in SAM.gov, you can select multiple NAICS codes that represent your company's capabilities. Consider these factors:
- Primary:Your main line of business with the most revenue
- Secondary:Additional capabilities you can perform
- Size:Check size standards to qualify as small business
- Experience:Only claim codes where you have past performance
