Quickly discover trends and find targeted government contracting opportunities using NAICS and PSC data. These two tools offer different lenses into the federal market—and together, they give you a more complete view.
📘 Understanding NAICS and PSC Codes
What is a NAICS Code?
NAICS (North American Industry Classification System) codes categorize businesses by the type of work they perform. Every federal contract is assigned a NAICS code, which defines the contract’s scope.
In G2X, each NAICS code profile includes:
-
5-year and 10-year award trends
-
Associated contract awards and contract vehicles

What is a PSC Code?
PSC (Product Service Code) classifications offer a more detailed view by specifying what the government is buying within broader NAICS categories.
PSC codes allow you to:
