NAICS & PSC Code Selection Guide

Wrong NAICS codes do more than hide you from contracting officers — they can disqualify you from a small business set-aside under the wrong size standard. This guide walks the strategic selection process: describe what you actually sell, search for matching codes, then validate them against real federal spending before you commit.

This resource supports PursuitWorks, the federal proposal operations application of GovSight governed AI.
