NAICS 812111: Barber Shops

NAICS 812111 – Barber Shops encompasses personal care services focused on hair cutting, styling, shaving, and facial grooming provided in standalone or retail-based barbershops. While primarily a private-sector service industry, this NAICS code may appear in federal contracting when services are procured to support military installations, veterans’ healthcare facilities, correctional institutions, or federal employee wellness programs. These contracts typically involve on-site or contracted barbershop operations within federal buildings or controlled environments, requiring compliance with health and safety regulations, sanitation standards, and sometimes accessibility requirements under the ADA. The work is often delivered through service contracts under the General Services Administration’s Schedule 70 or through direct acquisitions managed by facility operations offices. No contractor data is available for this NAICS code, indicating limited or no formal procurement activity tracked in federal contracting databases. This suggests that barbershop services are rarely competed as standalone contracts and are more commonly provided through facility management vendors or as ancillary services bundled under broader maintenance or human services contracts. No agency data is available, reflecting the absence of centralized or significant procurement activity tied specifically to this code. When services are procured, they are typically managed at the installation or regional level by the Department of Defense, Department of Veterans Affairs, or Federal Bureau of Prisons for internal personnel or resident populations. The competitive landscape is highly fragmented, with minimal large-prime involvement and most activity likely handled by local small businesses or sole proprietors under micro-purchase thresholds. Opportunities are sparse and decentralized, with demand driven by facility-specific needs rather than national initiatives. Contractors should focus on building relationships with base operations or human services offices rather than pursuing broad federal solicitations.
