NAICS 485310: Taxi and Ridesharing Services

NAICS 485310 – Taxi and Ridesharing Services encompasses ground transportation services provided through both traditional taxicab operations and modern ridesharing platforms that connect passengers with drivers via digital dispatch systems. This sector supports government mobility needs through on-demand, point-to-point passenger transport, often used for non-emergency medical transportation, employee commuting, official travel, and logistics support in urban and rural federal facilities. While not typically associated with large-scale infrastructure contracts, this NAICS plays a critical role in mission-enabling services, particularly for agencies requiring flexible, scalable, and cost-efficient ground transportation solutions. The services are often procured under blanket purchase agreements or through GSA Schedule contracts, especially when integrated with broader mobility-as-a-service initiatives. No contractor data is available to identify top performers in this NAICS code within the federal marketplace. However, contractors operating in this space typically include small businesses, local transportation providers, and technology-enabled mobility platforms that hold GSA Schedule 70 or 874 contracts and comply with federal vehicle and driver safety standards. No agency data is available to identify primary buyers. Nevertheless, agencies with high personnel mobility requirements—such as the Department of Veterans Affairs for medical transport, the General Services Administration for official travel, and the Department of Health and Human Services for non-emergency patient transport—are common users of these services. The competitive landscape is fragmented, with opportunity density concentrated in metropolitan areas with federal installations or high-volume medical transport needs. Contractors benefit from leveraging GSA schedules, small business set-asides, and local procurement programs. Trends suggest growing demand for integrated, app-based transportation solutions that offer real-time tracking, ADA compliance, and secure payment systems aligned with federal data privacy standards.
