PSC codes and NAICS codes
A PSC says what is being bought. A NAICS code says what industry the seller is in, and it sets the SBA size standard for small business set-asides. To find contracts for your business, start with your NAICS codes in the NAICS code lookup, then use PSCs to research what agencies buy.
