NAICS 722515 – Snack and Nonalcoholic Beverage Bars covers establishments primarily engaged in preparing and serving snacks and nonalcoholic beverages for on-site or immediate consumption, such as vending cafeterias, juice bars, smoothie kiosks, and snack-focused concession stands. These operations often support institutional settings including federal facilities, military bases, and civilian agency campuses where sustained, low-touch food service is required for employees, visitors, or personnel on duty. This NAICS code is distinct from full-service restaurants and focuses on streamlined, high-turnover service models that prioritize convenience, nutritional compliance, and operational efficiency under federal food service standards. It plays a supporting role in the broader federal facility operations and morale, welfare, and recreation (MWR) ecosystem. No contractor data is available for this NAICS code, indicating limited public procurement activity or a highly fragmented vendor base with no dominant prime contractors. Companies operating in this space are typically small businesses, local food service providers, or specialty concession operators that may serve under blanket purchase agreements or task orders within larger facility management contracts. No agency data is available, suggesting procurement is decentralized or embedded within broader operations contracts rather than issued as standalone solicitations. Demand likely stems from Department of Defense installations, General Services Administration-managed buildings, and Veterans Affairs medical centers where snack and hydration services are integrated into daily facility operations. The competitive landscape is characterized by low barriers to entry and high operational specificity, with opportunities concentrated in locations requiring compliant, on-demand refreshment services. Contractors with expertise in federal food safety protocols, USDA nutrition guidelines, and facility-based logistics are best positioned to compete. Procurement trends indicate a shift toward contract vehicles that bundle food services with facility maintenance, reducing standalone solicitations for this niche.
Small Business Size Standard
The SBA threshold that decides who can bid NAICS 722515 work as a small business.
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.
