Can I Use My NAICS Code to Determine my SIC Code?
Can I get a NAICS Code or Other Statistical Data for a Specific Company?
The U.S. Census Bureau is unable to provide a NAICS or SIC code for a named business over the Internet or telephone without written request.
Luckily, we at the NAICS Association can provide statistical information for specific companies with this simple company lookup tool.
How do the NAICS Codes affect Federal Procurement and Regulatory Activities, such as those carried out by the EPA, OSHA, the DoD, and the GSA?
NAICS was developed specifically for the collection and publication of statistical data to show the economic status of the United States.
The NAICS categories and definitions were not developed to meet the needs of procurement and/or regulatory applications.
However, other federal agencies trade associations, and regulation boards have adopted NAICS to use for procurement and regulatory purposes even though it does not entirely fit their specific needs.
The U.S. Census Bureau has no formal role as an arbitrator of statistical classification. For questions regarding other agencies’ use of the NAICS system, contact the specific agency. For access to a list of Federal government agencies, visit this site.
