NAICS 238390 – Other Building Finishing Contractors encompasses specialized trade services that complete the interior and exterior finishes of buildings, excluding electrical, plumbing, and HVAC installations. This category includes interior wall and ceiling finishing, flooring installation, plastering, tiling, painting, wallpapering, glazing, and other surface treatments that finalize building aesthetics and functionality. These contractors operate at the final stages of construction, ensuring compliance with architectural specifications, safety codes, and durability standards. In government contracting, this NAICS is critical for facility modernization, barracks upgrades, administrative building renovations, and mission-critical infrastructure projects requiring precise, high-quality finishes. The work is often performed under prime contracts or as subcontractors to larger construction firms, making it a vital link in the federal construction supply chain. Top contractors in this sector include AAECON GENERAL CONTRACTING LLC, DAP CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT LLC, BHPE LLC, MAVERICK CONSTRUCTORS, LLC, and K.C. ELECTRICAL CONSTRUCTION, INC., representing a mix of small businesses and mid-sized firms with expertise in federal compliance, rapid turnaround, and specialized finishing techniques. Many are small disadvantaged or HUBZone-certified entities, reflecting the government’s emphasis on subcontracting opportunities for underserved businesses. Primary federal buyers include the Department of Defense, Department of Veterans Affairs, Department of Homeland Security, Department of Agriculture, and Department of Energy, with the Edward J. Schwartz Federal Building also serving as a notable contracting entity. Demand is driven by facility lifecycle management, base realignment initiatives, and aging infrastructure rehabilitation programs requiring durable, code-compliant finishes. The competitive landscape is characterized by high specialization and low barriers to entry for niche finishing trades, creating opportunities for firms with certified craftsmanship, experience in federal procurement regulations, and established subcontracting networks. Procurement trends favor firms with proven track records in fast-track renovations and sustainable finishing materials.

Small Business Size Standard

The SBA threshold that decides who can bid NAICS 238390 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.
