NAICS 211130: Natural Gas Extraction

This industry comprises establishments primarily engaged in (1) the exploration, development, and/or the production of natural gas from wells in which the hydrocarbons will initially flow or can be produced using normal or enhanced drilling and extraction techniques or (2) the recovery of liquid hydrocarbons from oil and gas field gases. Establishments primarily engaged in sulfur recovery from natural gas are included in this industry. Cross-References. Establishments primarily engaged in--Show more

NAICS 211130 – Natural Gas Extraction encompasses the exploration, drilling, and production of natural gas from underground reservoirs, including conventional and unconventional sources such as shale, tight gas, and coalbed methane. This sector supports critical infrastructure by supplying fuel for power generation, industrial processes, and heating systems, with federal demand often tied to energy security, base operations, and facility sustainment at military installations and federal campuses.

NAICS 211130 – Natural Gas Extraction encompasses the exploration, drilling, and production of natural gas from underground reservoirs, including conventional and unconventional sources such as shale, tight gas, and coalbed methane. This sector supports critical infrastructure by supplying fuel for power generation, industrial processes, and heating systems, with federal demand often tied to energy security, base operations, and facility sustainment at military installations and federal campuses. Government contracting in this space typically involves service contracts for well maintenance, hydraulic fracturing support, pipeline interface services, environmental compliance monitoring, and remediation activities, rather than direct procurement of gas itself. Contractors operate under strict regulatory frameworks including EPA and BSEE standards, and must demonstrate technical expertise in reservoir engineering, well integrity, and emissions control. The top contractor in this NAICS code is BHPE LLC, a specialized firm with demonstrated capabilities in field operations and technical support for energy infrastructure projects. This reflects a competitive landscape dominated by niche service providers with domain-specific expertise in upstream oil and gas operations, rather than large-scale primes. Most active contractors are small businesses or mid-sized firms with proven experience in federal land management areas and environmental permitting. The Department of Veterans Affairs is the primary federal agency awarding contracts under this code, indicating demand linked to energy infrastructure at VA medical centers and regional facilities, likely for heating, power generation, or utility-scale energy partnerships. Other agencies may procure related services indirectly through energy service company contracts or interagency agreements. The market is characterized by low contractor density and high technical barriers to entry, with opportunities concentrated in regions with federal land holdings and energy-dependent infrastructure. Contractors with expertise in regulatory compliance, emissions reduction, and subsurface engineering are best positioned to compete, particularly as federal agencies prioritize energy resilience and decarbonization initiatives.

Small Business Size Standard

The SBA threshold that decides who can bid NAICS 211130 work as a small business.

1,250 employees
Applies to the whole industry code

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.
