Effective March 26, 2012 

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 in 2007. The latest NAICS codes are referred to as NAICS 2007. 

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.

FOOTNOTES

1. NAICS codes 221111, 221112, 221113, 221119, 221121, 221122 – A firm is small if, 

including its affiliates, it is primarily engaged in the generation, transmission, and/or 

distribution of electric energy for sale and its total electric output for the preceding fiscal 

year did not exceed 4 million megawatt hours. 

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 

manufactured in the United States during the previous calendar year is more than 

50 percent of the value of its total worldwide manufacture, 

b) 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 

c) the value of the principal product which it manufactured or otherwise produced, 

or sold worldwide during the preceding calendar year is less than 10 percent of 

the total value of such products manufactured or otherwise produced or sold in the 

United States during that period.

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. 
Footnotes

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, 522210 and 522293 – 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 034 call report form. 

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

For Government procurement, a size standard of $20.5 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 
Footnotes

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 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 Waster 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 $28.0 million for firms furnishing specific transportation services to 
Footnotes

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 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 
Footnotes

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.
