What are NAICS Codes?
The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) is the standard used by federal agencies to classify business establishments for statistical purposes. For government contractors, having the correct NAICS code is absolutely essential for finding relevant contracting opportunities and qualifying for set-aside programs.
NAICS codes are 6-digit numbers that represent specific industries and business activities. They determine your eligibility for small business programs, influence which contracts you can bid on, and affect your competitive landscape in government contracting.
Our free NAICS lookup tool helps you quickly find the right classification codes for your business, making it easier to identify federal contracting opportunities that match your capabilities and maximize your success rate.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I choose the right NAICS code for my business?
Choose the NAICS code that best represents your primary business activity - the one that generates the most revenue. You can have multiple NAICS codes, but your primary code determines your size standard and set-aside eligibility.
Can I change my NAICS code after registration?
Yes, you can update your NAICS codes in SAM.gov at any time. However, changes may affect your small business status and eligibility for certain contracts, so choose carefully.
How many NAICS codes should I select?
You can select up to 10 NAICS codes in SAM.gov, but focus on the ones that truly represent your capabilities. Quality over quantity - it's better to be competitive in fewer codes than spread too thin.
What's the difference between primary and secondary NAICS codes?
Your primary NAICS code represents your main business activity and determines your small business size standard. Secondary codes represent additional capabilities but don't affect your size standard determination.
