NAICS Size Standards

SBA Size Standards for NAICS Codes

U. S. Small Business Administration Table of Small Business Size Standards Matched to North American Industry Classification System Codes
Effective August 19, 2019

This table lists small business size standards matched to industries described in the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS), as modified by the Office of Management and Budget effective January 1, 2017. The size standards are for the most part expressed in either millions of dollars (those preceded by “$”) or number of employees (those without the “$”). A size standard is the largest that a concern can be and still qualify as a small business for Federal Government programs. For the most part, size standards are the average annual receipts or the average employment of a firm.

Concerns performing major rebuilding or overhaul activities do not necessarily have to meet the criteria for being a "manufacturer" although the activities may be classified under a manufacturing NAICS code. Ordinary repair services or preservation are not considered rebuilding.
7 NAICS code 336413 – Contracts for the rebuilding or overhaul of aircraft ground support equipment on a contract basis are classified under NAICS code 336413.
8 NAICS Codes 522110, 522120, 522130, 522190, and 522210 – A financial institution's assets are determined by averaging the assets reported on its four quarterly financial statements for the preceding year.  "Assets" means the assets defined according to the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council 041 call report form for NAICS Codes 522110, 522120, 522190, and 522210 and the National Credit Union Administration 5300 call report form for NAICS code 522130.
9 NAICS codes 531110, 531120, 531130, and 531190 – Leasing of building space to the Federal Government by Owners: For Government procurement, a size standard of $41.5 million in gross receipts applies to the owners of building space leased to the Federal Government. The standard does not apply to an agent.
10 NAICS codes 488510, 531210, 541810, 561510, 561520 and 561920 – As measured by total revenues, but excluding funds received in trust for an unaffiliated third party, such as bookings or sales subject to commissions.  The commissions received are included as revenue.
11 NAICS Codes 541713, 541714 and 541715
11.a Research and Development" means laboratory or other physical research and development. It does not include economic, educational, engineering, operations, systems, or other nonphysical research; or computer programming, data processing, commercial and/or "medical laboratory testing.
11.b For research and development contracts requiring the delivery of a manufactured product, the appropriate size standard is that of the manufacturing industry.
11.c For purposes of the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Transfer Technology (STTR) programs, the term “research” or “research and development” means any activity which is (A) a systematic, intensive study directed toward greater knowledge or understanding of the subject studied; (B) a systematic study directed specifically toward applying new knowledge to meet a recognized need; or (C) a systematic application of knowledge toward the production of useful materials, devices, and systems or methods, including design, development, and improvement of prototypes and new processes to meet specific requirements. See 15 U.S.C. § 638(e)(5) and section 3 of the SBIR and STTR policy directives available at www.sbir.gov.  For size eligibility requirements for the SBIR and STTR programs, see § 121.702 of these regulations.
11.d "Research and Development" for guided missiles and space vehicles includes evaluations and simulation, and other services requiring thorough knowledge of complete missiles and spacecraft.
12 NAICS 561210 – Facilities Support Services:  
12.a If one or more activities of Facilities Support Services as defined in paragraph (b) (below in this footnote) can be identified with a specific industry and that industry accounts for 50% or more of the value of an entire procurement, then the proper classification of the procurement is that of the specific industry, not Facilities Support Services.
12.b "Facilities Support Services" requires the performance of three or more separate activities in the areas of services or specialty trade contractors industries.  If services are performed, these service activities must each be in a separate NAICS industry.  If the procurement requires the use of specialty trade contractors (plumbing, painting, plastering, carpentry, etc.), all such specialty trade contractors activities are considered a single activity and classified as "Building and Property Specialty Trade Services."  Since "Building and Property Specialty Trade Services" is only one activity, two additional activities of separate NAICS industries are required for a procurement to be classified as "Facilities Support Services."
13 NAICS code 238990  – Building and Property Specialty Trade Services:  If a procurement requires the use of multiple specialty trade contractors (i.e., plumbing, painting, plastering, carpentry, etc.), and no specialty trade accounts for 50% or more of the value of the procurement, all such specialty trade contractors activities are considered a single activity and classified as Building and Property Specialty Trade Services.
14 NAICS 562910 – Environmental Remediation Services:
14.a For SBA assistance as a small business concern in the industry of Environmental Remediation Services, other than for Government procurement, a concern must be engaged primarily in furnishing a range of services for the remediation of a contaminated environment to an acceptable condition including, but not limited to, preliminary assessment, site inspection, testing, remedial investigation, feasibility studies, regulatory compliance, remedial design, containment, remedial action, removal of contaminated materials, nuclear remediation, storage of contaminated materials and security and site closeouts.  If one of such activities accounts for 50 percent or more of a concern's total revenues, employees, or other related factors, the concern's primary industry is that of the particular industry and not the Environmental Remediation Services Industry.
14.b For purposes of classifying a Government procurement as Environmental Remediation Services, the general purpose of the procurement must be to restore or directly support the restoration of a contaminated environment.  This includes activities such as preliminary assessment, site inspection, testing, remedial investigation, feasibility studies, regulatory compliance, remedial design, remediation services, containment, nuclear remediation, and removal of contaminated materials or security and site closeouts.  The general purpose of the procurement need not necessarily include remedial actions.  Also, the procurement must be composed of activities in three or more separate industries with separate NAICS codes or, in some instances (e.g., engineering), smaller sub-components of NAICS codes with separate and distinct size standards. These activities may include, but are not limited to, separate activities in industries such as: Heavy Construction; Special Trade Contractors; Engineering Services; Architectural Services; Management Consulting Services; Hazardous and Other Waste Collection;  Remediation Services; Testing Laboratories; and Research and Development  in the Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences.  If any activity in the procurement can be identified with a separate NAICS code, or component of a code with a separate distinct size standard, and that industry accounts for 50 percent or more of the value of the entire procurement, then the proper size standard is the one for that particular industry, and not the Environmental Remediation Service size standard.
15 [Reserved]
16 NAICS code 611519 – Job Corps Centers.  For classifying a Federal procurement, the purpose of the solicitation must be for the management and operation of a U.S. Department of Labor Job Corps Center.  The activities involved include admissions activities, life skills training, educational activities, comprehensive career preparation activities, career development activities, career transition activities, as well as the management and support functions and services needed to operate and maintain the facility.  For SBA assistance as a small business concern, other than for Federal Government procurements, a concern must be primarily engaged in providing the services to operate and maintain Federal Job Corps Centers.
17 NAICS code 115310 – Support Activities for Forestry – Forest Fire Suppression and Fuels Management Services are two components of Support Activities for Forestry.  Forest Fire Suppression includes establishments which provide services to fight forest fires.  These firms usually have fire-fighting crews and equipment.  Fuels Management Services firms provide services to clear land of hazardous materials that would fuel forest fires.  The treatments used by these firms may include prescribed fire, mechanical removal, establishing fuel breaks, thinning, pruning, and piling.
18 NAICS code 541519 – An Information Technology Value Added Reseller (ITVAR) provides a total solution to information technology acquisitions by providing multi-vendor hardware and software along with significant value added services.  Significant value added services consist of, but are not limited to, configuration consulting and design, systems integration, installation of multi-vendor computer equipment, customization of hardware or software, training, product technical support, maintenance, and end user support.  For purposes of Government procurement, an information technology procurement classified under this exception and 150-employee size standard must consist of at least 15% and not more than 50% of value added services, as measured by the total contract price.  In addition, the offeror must comply with the manufacturing performance requirements, or comply with the non-manufacturer rule by supplying the products of small business concerns, unless SBA has issued a class or contract specific waiver of the non-manufacturer rule.  If the contract consists of less than 15% of value added services, then it must be classified under a NAICS manufacturing industry.  If the contract consists of more than 50% of value added services, then it must be classified under the NAICS industry that best describes the predominate service of the procurement.
19 NAICS Sector 92 – Small business size standards are not established for this sector.  Establishments in the Public Administration sector are Federal, State, and local government agencies which administer and oversee government programs and activities that are not performed by private establishments.  Concerns performing operational services for the administration of a government program are classified under the NAICS private sector industry based on the activities performed.  Similarly, procurements for these types of services are classified under the NAICS private sector industry that best describes the activities to be performed.  For example, if a government agency issues a procurement for law enforcement services, the requirement would be classified using one of the NAICS industry codes under NAICS industry 56161, Investigation, Guard, and Armored Car Services.
20 NAICS code 511210  – For  purposes of Government procurement, the purchase of software subject to potential waiver of the nonmanufacturer rule pursuant to §121.1203(d) should be classified under this NAICS code.

Definitions

The U. S. Small Business Administration (SBA) has prepared these definitions to help the public understand some of the factors that SBA uses to determine what is a small business. It also includes general definitions of a number of SBA programs, the System for Award Management (SAM), and the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS). It is not meant to be dispositive in determining what is a small business.

These are advisory only, and carry no legal weight. For further information, please contact your local SBA office and visit the SBA's website at http://www.sba.gov/size. Also consult the applicable regulations in the Code of Federal Regulations which are in Title 13, Code of Federal Regulations, part 121 (13 CFR part 121), Small Business Size Regulations. SBA's size regulations pertaining to Federal procurement are also found in the Federal Acquisition Regulation, 48 CFR part 19.


Term Definition
8(a) Program An SBA program for small concerns owned by socially and economically disadvantaged persons.  Firms admitted to the program can receive Federal contracts designated for 8(a) Business Development Program participants, as well as management and technical assistance.  
Affiliation Affiliation with another business concern is based on the power to control, whether exercised or not.  Such factors as common ownership, common management and identity of interest (often found in members of the same family), among others, are indicators of affiliation.  Power to control exists when a party or parties have 50 percent or more ownership.  It may also exist with considerably less than 50 percent ownership by contractual arrangement or when one or more parties own a large share compared to other parties.  Affiliated business concerns need not be in the same line of business.  The calculation of a concern's size includes the employees or receipts of all affiliates.
Business concern A business concern eligible for assistance as a small business is a business entity organized for profit, has a place of business located in the United States, and operates primarily within the United States or makes a significant contribution to the US economy through payment of taxes or use of American products, materials, or labor.  A business concern can also be a small agricultural cooperative.  
Dynamic Small Business Search (DSBS) A Federal Government database for small businesses to register and increase their opportunities to provide goods and services to the Federal Government.  It is part of the System for Award Management (SAM) database.  A small business only needs to enter its business information in SAM, which will then automatically populate the Dynamic Small Business Search (DSBS).  Firms may supplement their DSBS profiles with additional information to enhance their marketing efforts to the Federal government and to larger prime contractors.  Concerns interested in receiving HUBZone, 8(a), or any other certification(s), must apply separately to SBA to complete that process.  It is important to note that both current and potential federal government vendors must register in CCR to be awarded contracts by the Federal Government.
Employees The number of employees of a concern is its average number of persons employed for each pay period over the concern's latest 12 months.  Any person on the payroll must be included as one employee regardless of hours worked or temporary status.  That is, it is a “head count.” The number of employees of a concern in business under 12 months is based on the average for each pay period it has been in business.  
Footnotes The footnotes to SBA's table of size standards are integral to determining when a business concern can qualify as small and under what conditions.  There are 19 footnotes to the table of size standards, and some of them apply to more than one NAICS code.
HUBZone The HUBZone Empowerment Contracting Program, which is included in the Small Business Reauthorization Act of 1997, stimulates economic development and creates jobs in urban and rural communities by providing contracting preferences to small businesses that are located in a HUBZone and that hire employees who live in a HUBZone.  SBA is responsible for regulating and implementing the HUBZone Program.  It certifies concerns for eligibility to receive HUBZone contracts and maintains a listing of qualified HUBZone small businesses federal agencies can use to locate prospective vendors.  
Industry Concerns primarily engaged in the same kind of economic activity are classified in the same industry regardless of their types of ownership (such as sole proprietorship, partnership or corporation).  OMB classifies approximately 1,200 activities as industries under NAICS.  For each industry, except those in the Public Administration Sector, SBA has established a size standard.  Industries are described in detail in North American Industry Classification System – United States, 2017.  It can be found in many libraries or purchased from the National Technical Information Service, by calling (800) 553-6847 or (703) 605‑6000.  
Nonmanufacturer For Federal government contracts, a concern that supplies a product it did not manufacture is termed a nonmanufacturer.  To qualify for Federal government contracting, a nonmanufacturer must have 500 or fewer employees, be primarily in the wholesale or retail trade, and supply the product of a US small manufacturer, if the contract is set aside for a small business.  This requirement is called the "nonmanufacturer rule." This rule does not apply to supply contracts of $25,000 or less that are processed under Simplified Acquisition Procedures.  The requirement may also be waived through formal procedure by the Associate Administrator for Government Contracting if there is no small manufacturer in the Federal market for a class of products.  The nonmanufacturer rule is more detailed in paragraph (b) of 13 CFR §121.406
North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) is the standard used by Federal statistical agencies in classifying business establishments for the purpose of collecting, analyzing, and publishing statistical data related to the U.S. business economy.  SBA has adopted NAICS industry definitions as the basis for its table of small business size standards. 
Not dominant A concern is not dominant in its field of operation when it does not exercise a controlling or major influence on an industry.  As part of its review of a size standard, SBA investigates whether a concern at or below a particular standard would dominate the industry on a national basis.  Thus, a concern at or below the size standard is presumed not to be dominant in its field of operation.  
Receipts Receipts means “total income” (or in the case of a sole proprietorship, “gross income”) plus “cost of goods sold” as these terms are defined and reported on Internal Revenue Service tax return forms.  The term does not include net capital gains or losses; taxes collected for and remitted to a taxing authority if included in gross or total income, such as sales or other taxes collected from customers and excluding taxes levied on the concern or its employees; proceeds from transactions between a concern and its domestic or foreign affiliates; and amounts collected for another by a travel agent, real estate agent, advertising agent, conference management service provider, freight forwarder or customs broker.  For size determination purposes, the only exclusions from receipts are those specifically provided for in this paragraph.  All other items, such as subcontractor costs, reimbursements for purchases a contractor makes at a customer's request, and employee-based costs such as payroll taxes, may not be excluded from receipts.  Receipts are averaged over a concern's latest three (3) completed fiscal years to determine its average annual receipts.  If a concern has not been in business for three (3) years, the average weekly revenue for the number of weeks the concern has been in business is multiplied by 52 to determine its average annual receipts.
Service Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business A small business concern that is at least 51 percent unconditionally and directly owned by one or more service-disabled veterans may represent itself as a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business Concern in the Central Contractor Registry at www .ccr.gov.  To participate in the Federal marketplace, the Veteran must have a service-connected disability that has been determined by the Department of Veterans Affairs or his or her respective military branch of service.  For more information, please go to www.sba.gov/GC and www.sba.gov/vets.
Set-aside contract A "set- aside" is a restricted Federal contract for which only small business may submit offers.  
Small agricultural cooperative A small agricultural cooperative is an association (corporate or otherwise) acting pursuant to the provisions of the Agricultural Marketing Act (12 U.S.C.A.  1141j) whose size does not exceed the size standard established by SBA for other similar agricultural small business concerns.  A small agricultural cooperative's member shareholders are not considered to be affiliates of the cooperative by virtue of their membership in the cooperative.  However, a business concern or cooperative that does not qualify as small under part 121 of SBA's Small Business Size Regulations may not be a member of a small agricultural cooperative.
System for Award Management The System for Award Management (SAM) is the primary vendor database for the U.S. Federal Government.  SAM collects, validates, stores, and disseminates data in support of agency acquisition missions. 
Both current and potential federal government vendors are required to register in SAM in order to be awarded contracts by the federal government.  Vendors are required to complete a one-time registration to provide basic information relevant to procurement and financial transactions.  Vendors must update or renew their registration at least once per year to maintain an active status.  
Table of size standards SBA has established definitions of what constitutes a small business concern.  SBA's table of size standards represents each of these standards matched to each North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) industry.  A size standard, which is usually stated in number of employees or average annual receipts, represents the largest size that a business (including its subsidiaries and affiliates) may be to remain classified as a small business for SBA and Federal government programs.     
Woman owned small business A business concern in which one or more women have 51 percent or more stock ownership.  Women business owners are critically important to the American economy.  America's 9.1 million women-owned businesses employ 27.5 million people and contribute $3.6 trillion to the economy.  However, women continue to face unique obstacles in the world of business.  SBA is a very strong advocate for women entrepreneurs and offers many programs and services to help them succeed.  


IMPORTANT: Businesses that participate in federal government procurement programs, either as a prime contractor or as a subcontractor, might see their size status change based on these updated size standards. If so, companies must update their registrations and validate their assertions and "reps and certs" in the System for Award Management (SAM).
