NAICS + SBA Size-Standard Checker GovCon

For small federal contractors: find the NAICS codes that fit what you sell, enter two numbers, and see whether you count as "small" under each code's SBA size standard.

1. Your size numbers

Count everyone on payroll, full- and part-time, temps included, averaged per pay period over 24 months — plus your affiliates' staff. 13 CFR 121.106.
"Receipts" is total income plus cost of goods sold from your tax returns, averaged over 5 years, affiliates included. 13 CFR 121.104.

2. Find your NAICS codes

Keyword overlap with SBA titles plus a small synonym list. A starting point, not a classification.

3. Your NAICS profile (0 of 8)

First code added is treated as your primary. Add up to 8. The primary NAICS is what SAM.gov and most certifications key off.

This NAICS profile is the first thing Downselect asks for. Downselect scores live opportunities against your codes, size, set-asides and past performance so you stop chasing bids you can't win.
