NAICS Code (NAICS)
Industry classification codes that describe the work the government is buying.
The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) is how the federal government classifies industries. Each solicitation lists a primary NAICS code, and that code's small-business size standard determines whether a business counts as 'small' for that opportunity. Choosing the right NAICS codes in your SAM.gov profile is essential to getting matched to relevant work.
