NAICS 238160 – Roofing Contractors encompasses specialized firms engaged in the installation, repair, replacement, and maintenance of roofing systems on federal and public infrastructure. This includes flat, sloped, metal, membrane, shingle, and built-up roofing applications, as well as waterproofing, insulation, and flashing work critical to building envelope integrity. Contractors in this sector often operate under performance-based specifications, requiring compliance with ASTM, FM Global, and IBHS standards, and must navigate stringent federal procurement rules for materials durability, energy efficiency, and sustainability. As a vital component of facility lifecycle management, roofing services support mission continuity across government-owned buildings, from military barracks to VA medical centers and USDA forest service facilities. Top contractors in this sector include ENFIELD ENTERPRISES LLC, AAECON GENERAL CONTRACTING LLC, ONEILL CONTRACTORS INC, HERITAGE CONSTRUCTION LLC, GOINS CONSTRUCTION LLC, DAP CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT LLC, MAVERICK CONSTRUCTORS, LLC, OAC ACTION CONSTRUCTION CORP., BHPE LLC, CHIEF CONSTRUCTION CO INC., and MAYOINTHEMIX LLC. These firms range from small business set-asides to mid-sized primes with specialized expertise in federal compliance, emergency repairs, and large-scale re-roofing projects under IDIQ and GWAC vehicles. Primary buyers include the Department of Defense, Department of Veterans Affairs, General Services Administration, Department of the Interior, Department of Homeland Security, and USDA Forest Service. Demand is driven by facility modernization programs, climate resilience initiatives, and the need to maintain aging infrastructure in high-exposure environments, including remote installations and historic buildings requiring preservation-compliant solutions. The competitive landscape is dense with regional specialists and small businesses leveraging set-aside programs, particularly for micro-purchases and 8(a) contracts. Opportunities are concentrated in facilities with high roof exposure to weather, wildfire, or coastal conditions, with recurring maintenance and emergency response work forming a steady pipeline. Contractors with expertise in sustainable roofing, solar-ready installations, and FEMA-funded recovery projects are increasingly positioned for growth.

Small Business Size Standard

The SBA threshold that decides who can bid NAICS 238160 work as a small business.

$19.0M
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.
