Find Federal Contracts by NAICS Code
Search live federal opportunities and past awards by NAICS code to find contracts that match your industry — and the small-business size standard tied to each one.
Why NAICS code is the starting point
Every federal solicitation is assigned a primary NAICS code that classifies the type of work, and each NAICS code carries a small-business size standard (a revenue or employee threshold). Searching by NAICS is the most reliable way to find opportunities that fit your business and to confirm whether you qualify as small for a given solicitation.
How to search effectively by NAICS
- Identify the NAICS codes that match what you actually deliver — most firms have several.
- Search both live opportunities and past awards in those codes to gauge demand.
- Confirm the size standard for each code to know where you qualify as a small business.
- Layer on set-aside and agency filters to refine your shortlist.
- Save NAICS-based searches and turn on alerts for new postings.
Frequently asked questions
How do I find contracts for my NAICS code?
Search live opportunities and award data filtered to your NAICS code(s) in GovPrimer. This surfaces both current solicitations and historical awards, showing demand and competition in your industry.
Can a contract have more than one NAICS code?
A solicitation has one primary NAICS code that sets the size standard, but related awards across an agency may span several codes. Most contractors register and search under multiple NAICS codes to capture all relevant work.
How does NAICS code affect small business eligibility?
Each NAICS code has an SBA size standard based on average annual revenue or employee count. Whether you qualify as small for a contract depends on the size standard tied to that solicitation's NAICS code.
