Summary: This document provides the U.S. Small Business Administration's (SBA) official table of small business size standards, effective March 17, 2023, matched to North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) codes.
The SBA Table of Small Business Size Standards serves as the definitive reference for determining if a business qualifies as 'small' for federal government programs and contracting opportunities. Size standards are defined by either average annual receipts (in millions of dollars) or the average number of employees, based on the firm's NAICS industry classification. This document, effective March 17, 2023, includes updated standards and provides guidance on how to calculate size, referencing 13 CFR § 121.104 and 13 CFR § 121.106. Businesses are advised to update their SAM.gov profiles to reflect these current standards.
