U. S. Small Business Administration 

Table of Small Business Size Standards 

Matched to 

North American Industry Classification System Codes 

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, 2012. The latest NAICS codes are referred to as NAICS 2012. 

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. 

How to calculate average annual receipts and average employment of a firm can be found in the 

Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) at 13 CFR § 121.104 and 13 CFR § 121.106, respectively. 

SBA also includes the table of size standards in the Small Business Size Regulations, 

13 CFR § 121.201. This table includes size standards that have changed since publication of the last 

annual edition of the CFR. 

For more information on these size standards, please visit S!’s site on Small Business Size 

Standards. 

If you have any other questions concerning size standards, contact a Size Specialist at your 

nearest SBA Government Contracting Area Office (list at the end of this table), or contact the Office 

of Size Standards by email at sizestandards@sba.gov or by phone at (202) 205-6618. 

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). 

These size standards are effective as of July 14, 2014

2. NAICS code 237990 – Dredging: To be considered small for purposes of Government 

procurement, a firm must perform at least 40 percent of the volume dredged with its own 

equipment or equipment owned by another small dredging concern. 

3. NAICS code 311421 – For purposes of Government procurement for food canning and 

preserving, the standard of 500 employees excludes agricultural labor as defined in section 

3306(k) of the Internal Revenue Code, 26 U.S.C. 3306(k). 

4. NAICS code 324110 – For purposes of Government procurement, the petroleum refiner 

must be a concern that has no more than 1,500 employees nor more than 125,000 barrels per 

calendar day total Operable Atmospheric Crude Oil Distillation capacity. Capacity includes 

owned or leased facilities as well as facilities under a processing agreement or an arrangement 

such as an exchange agreement or a throughput. The total product to be delivered under the 

contract must be at least 90 percent refined by the successful bidder from either crude oil or 

bona fide feedstocks. 

5. NAICS code 326211 – For Government procurement, a firm is small for bidding on a 

contract for pneumatic tires within Census Classification codes 30111 and 30112, provided 

that: 

a)	 the value of tires within Census Classification codes 30111 and 30112 which it

6. NAICS Subsectors 333, 334, 335 and 336 – For rebuilding machinery or equipment on a 

factory basis, or equivalent, use the NAICS code for a newly manufactured product. 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" for the purposes of this size standard 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

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 $38.5 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 code 541711 and 541712 – For research and development contracts requiring the 

delivery of a manufactured product, the appropriate size standard is that of the manufacturing 

industry. 

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. 

b)	 For purposes of the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program only, a different 

definition has been established by law. See section 121.701 of these regulations. 

c)	 "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: 

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. 

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: 

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, remedial design, containment, remedial action, removal of contaminated 

materials, 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. 

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, remedial design, remediation services, containment, 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 

43 
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

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. Subsector 483 – Water Transportation ‐ Offshore Marine Services: The applicable size 

standard shall be $30.5 million for firms furnishing specific transportation services to concerns 

engaged in offshore oil and/or natural gas exploration, drilling production, or marine research; 

such services encompass passenger and freight transportation, anchor handling, and related 

logistical services to and from the work site. 

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 provides a total 

solution to information technology acquisitions by providing multi-vendor hardware and 

software along with significant 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 industry category must consist of at 

least 15% and not more than 50% of value added services as measured by the total price less 

44 
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

the cost of information technology hardware, computer software, and profit. 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. To qualify as an Information Technology Value Added Reseller for purposes of 

SBA assistance, other than for Government procurement, a concern must be primarily engaged 

in providing information technology equipment and computer software and provide value 

added services which account for at least 15% of its receipts but not more than 50% of its 

receipts. 

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.
