How to Win NAICS 236220 Contracts

Federal agencies classify solicitations using NAICS codes to identify the type of work or product being procured. NAICS 236220 (Commercial & Institutional Building Construction) must be listed on your SAM.gov registration to appear in searches and receive notifications for matching opportunities.

Each NAICS code has a small business size standard, which determines whether your firm qualifies as "small" for set-aside competitions. Check the SBA's size standards table for NAICS 236220 — the threshold may be based on annual revenue or number of employees.

Many Commercial & Institutional Building Construction contracts are awarded through multi-award indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity (IDIQ) vehicles. Winning a spot on an IDIQ allows you to compete for task orders over 5–10 years, providing a predictable pipeline of work.

Past performance is critical for NAICS 236220 opportunities. Start with smaller contracts (micro-purchases under $10,000 or simplified acquisitions under $250,000) to build your track record, then pursue larger opportunities as your CPARS ratings improve.
