Purpose of NAICS Codes

The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) is a numeric coding system used by federal agencies to classify businesses for a variety of purposes. In reference to SAM Registrations (as well as Small Business Certifications), a NAICS code is used to identify the type of service your business provides. Additionally, a prime contractor can search you up in the Small Business Database by NAICS code and you will be one of the companies that come up, which would increase the likelihood of being chosen for a federal contract.

USBRI has assisted small businesses with SAM and Small Business Certifications since 2011. A dedicated CRS will be assigned to your company to facilitate the renewal or registration process for  you. If you have additional questions, call the help desk or submit the form down below.

What are NAICS Codes?

The NAICS (North American Industry Classification System) code is a two or six-digit numeric code that federal statistical agencies use to classify businesses into industries. They are often used when identifying what a business does in terms of the service provided.

When referring to NAICS codes with SAM Registrations, they are required so prime contracts can be able to find you easily in the Small Business Database (if you qualify).

USBRI has been offering assistance with SAM and Small Business Certifications since 2011. A dedicated CRS will be assigned to your company to facilitate the entire process for you and ensure you are active and compliant in SAM. If you have questions, reach out to the help desk at 1-888-646-9998.
