NAICS Codes appear at all phases of GSA contract acquisition and throughout the life of your contract. As you register your\n SAM.gov account, you will have to select your NAICS Code and if you want to add new Special Item Numbers (SINs) to your contract, you will need to add the appropriate code. Government solicitations such as Requests for Proposals (RFPs) and Requests for Quotation\n (RFQs) all have NAICS Codes attached to them. Each time you come across one or have to select a NAICS Code, the question is \u201chow do I determine the right NAICS code for my business?\u201d<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\" style=\"line-height:1.4;font-family:sans-serif;color:#000000;font-size:14px;text-align:left;margin:0 0 15px\">\nWe will explain the structure of the NAICS Code, where to look for the full listing of NAICS Codes, the advantages of using NAICS Codes, and finally, we will discuss how to determine the right NAICS Code for your business.<\/p>\n<h2 align=\"left\" style=\"line-height:1.1;font-weight:bold;font-family:sans-serif;color:#002e6d;font-size:20px;text-align:left;margin:0 0 5px\">\nWhat Are NAICS Codes?<\/h2>\n<p align=\"left\" style=\"line-height:1.4;font-family:sans-serif;color:#000000;font-size:14px;text-align:left;margin:0 0 15px\">\nIn 1997, the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) established The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) as the standard for federal statistical agencies in classifying business establishments for the collection, analysis, and publication of\n statistical data related to the U.S. business economy.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\" style=\"line-height:1.4;font-family:sans-serif;color:#000000;font-size:14px;text-align:left;margin:0 0 15px\">\nNAICS is a two-through-six-digit hierarchical classification code system, where each of the digits in the code is part of a series of progressively narrower categories. More digits in the code signify greater classification detail. The graphic below explains\n what each digit means.<\/p>\n<h2 align=\"left\" style=\"line-height:1.1;font-weight:bold;font-family:sans-serif;color:#002e6d;font-size:20px;text-align:left;margin:0 0 5px\">\nThe Advantages of Using NAICS Codes<\/h2>\n<p align=\"left\" style=\"line-height:1.4;font-family:sans-serif;color:#000000;font-size:14px;text-align:left;margin:0 0 15px\">\nNAICS codes offer many benefits to companies that want to obtain a GSA Multiple Award Schedule (MAS) contract or look for contracting benefits when working with the public sector. Each opportunity that is issued by a federal agency is assigned at least one\n NAICS Code. This designation allows these opportunities and contracts to be tracked for research and reportable data in the future. Often, solicitation descriptions or requests for proposals (RFPs) can be vague, so the NAICS designation can further help companies\n decipher whether they are a good fit for the opportunity.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\" style=\"line-height:1.4;font-family:sans-serif;color:#000000;font-size:14px;text-align:left;margin:0 0 15px\">\nHaving a NAICS Code associated with your entity when you register on SAM.gov is foundational to acquiring a GSA Schedule because it represents the preponderance of your company\u2019s work. Selecting the proper NAICS Codes means that the SINs you submit in your\n offer will be accepted by the GSA Contracting Officer.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\" style=\"line-height:1.4;font-family:sans-serif;color:#000000;font-size:14px;text-align:left;margin:0 0 15px\">\n\\NAICS Codes also help you determine whether you are a small business in the eyes of the government. Small business set asides and other programs offered by the Small Business Administration (SBA) require that you meet the size standards associated with your\n primary NAICS Code. The SBA developed size standards for each NAICS category. These are used to determine whether a firm qualifies as a small business or \u201cOther than Small (OTSB)\u201d business. Ensuring that you have the code that best fits your company means\n you can unlock major government spending to boost your company.<\/p>\n<h2 align=\"left\" style=\"line-height:1.1;font-weight:bold;font-family:sans-serif;color:#002e6d;font-size:20px;text-align:left;margin:0 0 5px\">\nWhere to Find a Full Listing of NAICS Codes<\/h2>\n<p align=\"left\" style=\"line-height:1.4;font-family:sans-serif;color:#000000;font-size:14px;text-align:left;margin:0 0 15px\">\nA consolidated list of NAICS Codes can be found on the official NAICS website. On this website, you can download and sort through the available listings and the SINs that fall under each NAICS Code. The Codes available under each of the twenty sectors.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\" style=\"line-height:1.4;font-family:sans-serif;color:#000000;font-size:14px;text-align:left;margin:0 0 15px\">\nThe website also has a search function where you can look up applicable codes using keywords. If your business focuses on \u201cInformation Technology\u201d you can search this term and related NAICS Codes will appear.
