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.
