NAICS 813110 – Religious Organizations encompasses entities organized for religious worship, spiritual guidance, and faith-based outreach, including churches, mosques, synagogues, and other denominational or non-denominational religious bodies. While primarily non-governmental in nature, these organizations may engage in federal contracting through services such as chaplaincy support, moral and ethical counseling, veteran reintegration programs, and community resilience initiatives aligned with military and civilian welfare missions. In the federal contracting landscape, this NAICS code represents a niche but strategically important segment where faith-based organizations provide mission-critical human services under grants, cooperative agreements, or task orders, often in partnership with defense, veterans, and homeland security agencies. These engagements typically require compliance with the Religious Freedom Restoration Act and adherence to strict separation of church and state guidelines. Top contractors in this sector include K. Parks Consulting, Inc., Suntiff, LLC, and Eason, Patricia—small businesses and specialized service providers offering chaplaincy coordination, spiritual care program design, and faith-based community engagement solutions. The competitive landscape is dominated by niche firms with deep expertise in military chaplaincy support and interfaith program management, rather than large prime contractors. The Department of Defense and Commanding General are the primary federal buyers, sourcing services to support troop morale, family readiness, and post-deployment spiritual care. Demand is driven by military installation chaplaincy programs, veterans’ mental health initiatives, and resilience training for service members and their families. The market is characterized by low contractor density and high reliance on specialized, mission-aligned providers. Opportunities exist for faith-based organizations with proven track records in military or federal social services to compete for task orders under broader human services contracts. Procurement trends show increasing emphasis on culturally competent, trauma-informed spiritual care integrated into holistic veteran and active-duty support frameworks.

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.
