STAY TUNED for the Upcoming PVAMU/TxDOT Program
for Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE)!!!!
This tool can help you determine if you qualify as a
"small business" under SBA size standards. Qualifying
as "small" may allow your business to take advantage
of valuable government contracting opportunities
reserved for small businesses. To be eligible as a
small business concern, your business must satisfy
the SBA’s size standard for your industry, be operated
for profit, be independently owned and operated, and
be based in the U.S., making significant contributions
to the U.S. economy.
SBA uses the North American Industry Classification
System (NAICS) as the basis for its size standards.
NAICS assigns numerical codes to classify business
activities to various economic sectors and industries. A
NAICS code has six digits. The first two indicate the
Economic Sector, the third the Subsector, the fourth
the Industry Group, the fifth the Industry, and the sixth
the U.S. Industry.
Don't know your NAICS code? Visit the official NAICS
website to find the code(s) applicable to your industry.
Please note that SBA's size standards are currently
based on 2012 NAICS. Thus, this tool requires a 2012
NAICS code to generate a result.
