NAICS 611210 – Junior Colleges encompasses postsecondary educational institutions that offer associate degrees, certificate programs, and workforce development training, often serving as critical pipelines for skilled labor and adult education. In the government contracting landscape, these institutions frequently deliver contract-funded workforce training, vocational rehabilitation, adult literacy, and career readiness programs aligned with federal workforce development initiatives. Services may include curriculum design for federally funded apprenticeships, compliance with WIOA and Perkins Act requirements, and delivery of remedial education for veterans or displaced workers. While primarily educational entities, junior colleges function as non-traditional contractors when receiving federal grants and cooperative agreements to support workforce alignment with national economic and security priorities. The top contractor in this NAICS code is SCHOOLCRAFT COMMUNITY COLLEGE DISTRICT, a public community college that actively partners with federal agencies to deliver tailored training solutions. These institutions typically operate as public entities rather than private primes, and their contracting model often involves direct federal grants rather than competitive procurements under FAR Part 15. The competitive landscape is dominated by public community colleges with established workforce development infrastructure, with limited participation from private sector firms. The Department of Justice is the leading agency awarding contracts under this NAICS code, primarily funding reentry programs, correctional education, and vocational training for incarcerated individuals and at-risk populations. Other federal partners may include the Department of Labor and the Department of Education, which support workforce development initiatives tied to criminal justice reform, unemployment mitigation, and equity-focused upskilling. The market is characterized by low contractor density and high mission alignment requirements, with opportunities concentrated in institutions with proven track records in adult education, corrections-based training, and federally compliant credentialing systems. Contractors seeking entry must demonstrate experience with federal grant compliance, outcomes-based reporting, and partnerships with state workforce boards. Trends indicate growing demand for trauma-informed pedagogy and digital literacy integration in federally funded adult education programs.

Small Business Size Standard

The SBA threshold that decides who can bid NAICS 611210 work as a small business.

$32.5M
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.
