Know if you count as small before you bid 📏

Hi everyone! We've added the SBA small business size standard to the pages where you decide whether to bid. The cap that decides whether you can bid a code as a small business now sits right next to the code, on contract, pursuit, award and teaming detail, on NAICS code pages, and on every card in the public NAICS directory.

What's New

The SBA small business size standard now appears under the NAICS code on contract, pursuit, award and teaming detail, on every NAICS code page, and on every card in the public NAICS directory. Each code carries its own cap, either a revenue ceiling like $34.0M or a headcount like 750 employees, and that number is what decides whether you can self-certify as small for the work.

How It Works

• 📄 Open any contract or pursuit and the cap sits under the NAICS code, with an info icon that explains why it's set per code
• 🏆 Award detail shows the same line under the award's NAICS
• 🤝 A teaming profile shows it under the company's primary NAICS
• 📚 NAICS code pages get a full Small Business Size Standard card: the cap, a plain-language explanation, any subject-matter exceptions that carry their own cap, and the date the SBA table took effect
• 🔍 The public NAICS directory at cleat.ai/government/naics prints the cap on every card, so you can compare codes without opening them

Why It Matters

Eligibility for a small business set-aside is decided per NAICS code, not per company, so the same business can be small in one code and not in another. That number used to live buried in federal regulation, which meant leaving CLEATUS and looking it up by hand every time a set-aside was on the line. Now it's on the page you were already reading, including the handful of codes where an exception carves out different work at a different cap.

Get Started

Open any contract in your pipeline and look under the NAICS code, or browse the caps directly at cleat.ai/government/naics.

Happy bidding! 🏗️
