NAICS 236117 – New Housing For-Sale Builders encompasses the construction of single-family and multifamily residential dwellings intended for sale to private end-users, typically developed on newly acquired or redeveloped land. This sector includes site preparation, foundation work, structural framing, mechanical and electrical systems installation, and finishing services for housing projects built under contract, often in planned communities or suburban developments. While primarily a private-sector activity, this NAICS code appears in federal contracting when housing is constructed for federal employees, military personnel, or in support of federal land management or tribal housing initiatives, particularly through the Department of Housing and Urban Development or the Department of the Interior’s Bureau of Indian Affairs. These projects may involve compliance with federal building codes, accessibility standards, and sustainability requirements under the Energy Policy Act or the Uniform Federal Accessibility Standards. No contractor data is available to identify top performers in this NAICS code within the federal marketplace. The competitive landscape is typically dominated by regional homebuilders and general contractors with experience in residential construction, though some large national firms may participate through joint ventures or as prime contractors on larger-scale federal housing initiatives. No agency data is available to identify primary federal buyers. However, procurement activity, when it occurs, is generally linked to housing programs for federal workforce housing, veterans’ transitional housing, or tribal housing assistance under statutory mandates. The market context for this NAICS code in government contracting is sparse but niche, with opportunities concentrated in locations near federal installations or tribal lands. Contractors with experience in modular construction, energy-efficient building techniques, and compliance with federal environmental review processes are best positioned to compete. Demand is often driven by legislative mandates rather than discretionary spending, resulting in irregular but mission-critical procurement cycles.

Small Business Size Standard

The SBA threshold that decides who can bid NAICS 236117 work as a small business.

$45.0M
Applies to the whole industry code

The SBA cap for this NAICS (13 CFR 121.201). A business at or under it can self-certify as small for work in this code, which is what makes it eligible for a small-business set-aside. The cap is set per NAICS, so the same company can be small in one code and not in another.

13 CFR 121.201, effective January 1, 2026. The SBA revises the table roughly once a year.

Bidder counts reported on past federal awards in this NAICS (USAspending). An open opportunity has no bidders yet, so this is the historical norm for similar work, not a fact about this solicitation. Not all awards report bidder counts, and fewer bidders often means incumbent-held work rather than an easier win. Federal reporting of bidder counts fell from ~96% of awards (FY2016) to ~30% (FY2018 onward); the chart shows shares of reported awards, and washed-out stretches mark years with fewer than 30 of them.
