NAICS codes are not a registration formality. They are how the government decides what you're eligible to bid on, how it sizes your company for set-asides, and how contracting officers find you in SAM.gov. Get them wrong and you're invisible to the opportunities that fit you.
They start with what they do — then pick the code that sounds closest. The right approach starts with what the government buys, then maps your capability to the codes that actually carry contract dollars.
We work backwards from federal procurement data to find the codes where your capability matches real contract activity — then set your registration and positioning around those codes.
We pull your existing SAM.gov registration and review every NAICS code you're registered under. We check for codes that carry no contract activity, codes that misrepresent your capability, and codes that lock you out of set-aside eligibility you should have.
We query federal procurement history by agency and NAICS code — who's buying what, under which codes, and at what dollar volumes. This tells us where the contract activity actually lives for your capability, not where the NAICS manual says it should.
We model the plausible alternative codes for your business — each one evaluated for contract volume, set-aside eligibility, competition density, and fit with your actual delivery capability. You see the trade-offs before you commit.
For each candidate code, we check the SBA size standard — employee count or average annual revenue — and verify whether you qualify as small. This determines your access to small business set-asides, sole-source contracts, and socioeconomic programs.
We guide the SAM.gov update — primary and secondary NAICS codes, size re-certification where applicable, and NAICS-coded capability descriptions. We don't file for you, but we give you exactly what to enter and why.
We produce a NAICS-aligned positioning brief that ties your codes to your capability statement, your past performance narrative, and your target agency list. Every downstream artifact — proposals, capability statement, market research — starts from this positioning.
Every NAICS code you're registered under, evaluated for contract activity, set-aside eligibility, and capability fit. Flags the dead codes.
Federal procurement history by agency and NAICS code — where the dollars flow for your capability, at what volumes, and through which contract vehicles.
Primary and secondary NAICS codes, each with a rationale tied to contract activity and size eligibility. Not a guess — a recommendation backed by data.
Your small business eligibility under each recommended code, with the SBA threshold and your qualifying status. Know before you register.
Exactly what to change in your registration — which fields, which codes, what size certification. Step-by-step, no ambiguity.
The document that ties your codes to your capability statement, target agencies, and past performance. The foundation everything else builds on.
You can. That's what most companies do. It's also why most companies never see the solicitations that match their capability. The NAICS code that matches your self-image isn't always the code agencies use when they buy what you sell. We align to the procurement data, not the business card.
There's no universal number. Some companies are legitimately competitive under two codes; others under ten. We recommend the set that matches your real capability and carries actual contract activity — not the maximum allowed, and not one generic code. More codes isn't better. The right codes is better.
No. Existing contracts remain under the codes they were awarded under. A NAICS change affects future registrations and future opportunity matching. We'll walk you through the implications before you change anything.
We don't file it directly — SAM.gov updates require your entity administrator. But we give you a complete update guide: exactly which fields to change, what to enter, and what size certification to claim. Your admin can execute it in minutes.
The audit and analysis typically take 1–2 weeks, depending on the complexity of your current registration and the number of agencies you're targeting. The SAM.gov update itself is same-day once you have the guide.
A 45-minute fit assessment. We'll tell you whether your current codes are working. No cost, no obligation, no follow-up drip.
