My IT services firm is in Herndon, VA, and we are growing. We're looking at a few federal bids, specifically a sources sought notice for IT services related to computer systems design. The notice lists NAICS code 541512. I know the SBA sets size standards, but I'm trying to confirm our small business status. I checked the SBA's website, but I am confused about the calculation for average annual receipts. How does the SBA calculate the size standard for an IT services firm under NAICS code 541512, and what are the current thresholds as of October 2026?

The current size standard for NAICS code 541512, Computer Systems Design Services, is based on average annual receipts. To determine if your firm qualifies as a small business, the SBA calculates your receipts by averaging them over your business's latest five complete fiscal years. This calculation also includes the receipts of any affiliates your firm may have. SBA size standards are expressed either in number of employees or in annual receipts in millions of dollars, depending on the NAICS code. You can find the specific dollar figure for NAICS 541512 on the SBA's size standards page. For federal contracting, you must be registered in SAM.gov and ensure your small business status is accurately reflected there.
