What is a NAICS code?
A NAICS code is the six-digit North American Industry Classification System code for a type of business. In federal contracting, each solicitation carries one NAICS code, which sets the SBA size standard for that contract. Janitorial services are 561720, landscaping services 561730 and facilities support services 561210.
