Frequently Asked Questions

What CMMC level is required for NAICS 541690?

Level 2 is required for most technical consulting contracts that involve CUI such as test data, technical assessments, or system evaluations. Advisory work limited to publicly available information may only need Level 1.

What is the SBA size standard for NAICS 541690?

The size standard is $19 million in average annual receipts.

How does NAICS 541690 differ from 541330?

NAICS 541330 covers engineering-specific services (design, analysis, testing), while 541690 covers broader scientific and technical consulting that may span multiple disciplines. If the work is primarily engineering, use 541330. If it crosses disciplines or is advisory in nature, 541690 is appropriate.

Working on this for real?

Knowing the code is the easy part. Getting your operation ready to win and deliver against it is the work.
