Classification

NAICS codes on federal awards

A NAICS code describes the industry of the company doing the work, as the contracting officer recorded it on the award. Each code below links to its award history, the agencies that buy under it, and where the work is performed. Where enough benchmark-eligible awards share a code to support a statistic, the page also publishes the distribution of award values.

For what the government bought rather than who sold it, use product and service codes. To find a code by keyword, use the NAICS lookup.
