Glossary
NAICS code
A NAICS code is the six-digit industry classification assigned to a type of business activity. In federal contracting the contracting officer assigns one NAICS code to each solicitation, and that code carries the size standard that decides who is small.
Size standard
A size standard is the SBA's limit, stated in average annual receipts or in number of employees, below which a business counts as small for a given NAICS code and so may compete for set-asides.
SAM entity registration
SAM entity registration is the record a business creates and renews on SAM.gov to be eligible for federal awards: its legal name and address, UEI, CAGE code, banking information, points of contact, NAICS codes, and representations and certifications.
