This balanced approach ensures competitive rigor while fulfilling statutory obligations to foster diversity in the defense industrial base. Stephenson’s primary NAICS focus areas include 541930 (Translation and Interpretation Services), 541690 (Other Scientific and Technical Consulting Services), 621511 (Medical Laboratories), and 721110 (Hotels and Motels).
