Table of Small Business Size Standards

Matched to

North American Industry Classification System Codes

effective January 7, 2013

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 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 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 the last publication of 13 CFR 121. 

For more information on these size standards, please visit http://www.sba.gov/size . 

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 the table), or contact the Office of Size 

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

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. 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). 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.

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: the value of tires within Census Classification codes 30111 and 30112 which it manufactured in the 

United States during the previous calendar year is more than 50 percent of the value of its total 

worldwide manufacture, the value of pneumatic tires within Census Classification codes 30111 and 30112 comprising its 

total worldwide manufacture during the preceding calendar year was less than 5 percent of the value 

of all such tires manufactured in the United States during that period, and 

the value of the principal product which it manufactured or otherwise produced, or sold worldwide

manufactured or otherwise produced or sold in the United States during that period.

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.

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 034 call report form. 

NAICS code 531190 – Leasing of building space to the Federal Government by Owners: For 

Government procurement, a size standard of $35.5 million in gross receipts applies to the owners of 

building space leased to the Federal Government. The standard does not apply to an agent.

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

NAICS 562910 – Environmental Remediation Services:

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 

EPA-HQ-OW-2008-0667-DRAFT-3325 footnotes 6
Record for the Final Section 316(b) Existing Facilities Rule

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 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 

$28.0 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

The activities involved include admissions activities, life skills training, educational activities, 

comprehensive career preparation activities, career development activities, career transition activities, as

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.

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 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

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,

Definition

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 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.

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. 

Central Contractor Registration (CCR) is the primary vendor database for the U.S. Federal 

Government. CCR collects, validates, stores, and disseminates data in support of agency 

acquisition missions. 

Both current and potential federal government vendors are required to register in CCR in order 

to be awarded contracts by the federal government. Vendors are required to complete a onetime 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. 

ess Administration (SBA) has prepared these definitions to help the public understand some of the factors 

rmine what is a small business. It also includes general definitions of a number of SBA programs, the Central 

on (CCR) and the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS). It is not and is not meant to be 

ining what is a small business.

egulations, part 121 (13 CFR part 121), Small Business Size Regulations. SBA's size regulations pertaining to 

 are also found in the Federal Acquisition Regulation, 48 CFR part 19.

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 

Central Contractor Registration (CCR) database. A small business only needs to enter its 

business information in CCR, which will then automatically populate the Dynamic Small 

Business Search. Firms may supplement their DSBS profiles with additional information to 

enhance their marketing efforts to the Federal government and 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.

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. 

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.

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. 

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, 2007. It can be found in many libraries or purchased from the 

National Technical Information Service, by calling (800) 553-6847 or (703) 605‐6000. 

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.

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

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. 

For more information about NAICS, see http://www.census.gov/eos/www/naics/.

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.

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.

A "set- aside" is a restricted Federal contract for which only small business may submit offers.

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.

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. 

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.
