NAICS 611110 – Elementary and Secondary Schools encompasses educational services delivered through public and private K-12 institutions, including curriculum development, instructional support, special education programming, school infrastructure modernization, and student services such as nutrition, transportation, and behavioral health initiatives. While primarily operated by state and local governments, this NAICS code intersects with federal contracting when agencies fund targeted educational interventions, workforce development pipelines, or research initiatives tied to student outcomes. In the federal marketplace, contracts under this classification typically support grant-funded programs related to equity, STEM education, English language learner support, and school safety—often administered through federal departments with education or public health mandates. The top contractor in this sector is the University of Virginia Darden School Foundation, a nonprofit entity leveraging its educational expertise to deliver professional development, leadership training, and administrative support services to K-12 systems under federal grants. This reflects a trend where higher education institutions and mission-driven nonprofits serve as key implementers, rather than traditional defense or IT primes, creating a unique competitive landscape dominated by educational nonprofits and regional service providers. The Department of Health and Human Services is the leading federal agency awarding contracts under this code, primarily through programs that integrate behavioral health, mental wellness, and social services into school environments. These awards often stem from initiatives like the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) or the Office of Elementary and Secondary Education, targeting underserved communities with wraparound student support systems. The market is characterized by low contractor density and high program specificity, with opportunities concentrated in grant-funded, community-based interventions rather than large-scale procurement. Contractors with expertise in education policy, child development, and federal grant compliance are best positioned to compete, particularly those capable of scaling evidence-based interventions across multiple districts.

Small Business Size Standard

The SBA threshold that decides who can bid NAICS 611110 work as a small business.

$20.0M
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.
