NAICS 111110 – Soybean Farming encompasses the cultivation of soybeans for commercial sale, including seed production, soil preparation, planting, pest and disease management, and mechanical harvesting using precision agricultural technologies. This sector supports critical supply chains for animal feed, biofuels, and food processing, with government demand primarily tied to agricultural research, conservation programs, and food assistance initiatives. While primarily a private-sector activity, federal contracts in this space often fund research partnerships, sustainable farming pilot programs, and crop insurance administration through USDA-led initiatives. The industry integrates agronomic science, data-driven crop modeling, and mechanized equipment to optimize yield and comply with federal environmental and reporting standards. No contractor data is available for this NAICS code, indicating limited direct federal procurement activity tied to soybean farming operations. When contracts do occur, they typically involve small agricultural businesses, research cooperatives, or agricultural service providers rather than large prime contractors. No agency data is available, suggesting that federal spending in this sector is not concentrated among a few key buyers. Any procurement is likely distributed across USDA agencies such as the Farm Service Agency, Agricultural Research Service, or Natural Resources Conservation Service, supporting research, extension services, or conservation compliance rather than direct commodity purchases. The competitive landscape is sparse in the government contracting arena, with minimal direct procurement opportunities. Opportunities for contractors are largely indirect, emerging through research grants, technical assistance contracts, or data collection services supporting USDA’s agricultural surveys and sustainability initiatives. Trends indicate growing interest in regenerative agriculture practices and climate-resilient crop systems, which may drive future contract activity tied to soil health monitoring and carbon sequestration verification.
Small Business Size Standard
The SBA threshold that decides who can bid NAICS 111110 work as a small business.
The SBA cap for this NAICS (13 CFR 121.201). A business at or under it can self-certify as small for work in this code, which is what makes it eligible for a small-business set-aside. The cap is set per NAICS, so the same company can be small in one code and not in another.
13 CFR 121.201, effective January 1, 2026. The SBA revises the table roughly once a year.

Bidder counts reported on past federal awards in this NAICS (USAspending). An open opportunity has no bidders yet, so this is the historical norm for similar work, not a fact about this solicitation. Not all awards report bidder counts, and fewer bidders often means incumbent-held work rather than an easier win. Federal reporting of bidder counts fell from ~96% of awards (FY2016) to ~30% (FY2018 onward); the chart shows shares of reported awards, and washed-out stretches mark years with fewer than 30 of them.
