Intro to Federal Contracting 101: Understanding Set-Asides, NAICS, and PSC Codes

Description:

If you're new to federal contracting, your first step is identifying the right codes.

Before pursuing opportunities with the federal government, businesses must understand NAICS (North American Industry Classification System) codes and PSC (Product and Service Codes). These key identifiers define what your business sells and how agencies find you. Selecting the wrong codes can limit visibility in federal databases and reduce access to set-aside opportunities.

This session breaks down the differences between NAICS and PSC codes, explains how to determine the right classifications for your company, and shows how these codes connect directly to SAM.gov registration, SBA Small Business Search visibility, and opportunity matching.
