What is NAICS code 327910?

327910 is the U.S. Census Bureau's 2022 NAICS code for Abrasive Product Manufacturing, inside the Manufacturing sector and the Nonmetallic Mineral Product Manufacturing subsector. Federal solicitations carry exactly one NAICS code, and that code is how the buyer classifies the requirement — it decides which size standard applies to the bid and, with it, whether your business counts as small for that contract.

Are there open government bids under NAICS 327910 right now?

Not as of this page load. That is a fact about the feed we track — federal SAM.gov postings plus the state portals we pull — and not a statement that no government anywhere is buying this work today. Join the free alerts and Sam will email you when a solicitation carrying 327910 appears.

Do I have to use NAICS 327910 to bid?

You bid what the solicitation says. The buyer assigns one NAICS code to the requirement, and that code — not the list on your SAM.gov registration — sets the size standard your offer is judged against. Your registration should carry every code you can genuinely perform, because that is what buyers filter on during market research, but adding a code you cannot deliver under does not make you eligible for anything.

SBA size standard

We hold no size standard published for these exact six digits, and we will not put a neighbouring industry's figure here in its place. Sibling codes in the same NAICS family do not always share a standard, and self-certifying against the wrong one is how a bidder ends up claiming a set-aside they do not qualify for. Look 327910 up directly in the SBA table.

An exact count of the federal contract award records we hold carrying NAICS 327910. It is more than this page folds in one pass (500awards), so we publish no dollar totals or contractor rankings for this code — a ranking computed from part of an industry is not that industry's ranking. The state breakdown below is measured separately and each row is exact for its state.

Awards are history. These are live: solicitations tagged with this code that still have a deadline ahead of them, soonest first, each carrying the agency's own published record — the buyer, the deadline and the documents. Sam's deep workup, the part that names what disqualifies bidders, is published for specialty-trade construction and janitorial and facilities services, and this industry is not in that scope — so we do not publish one here.

How to use a NAICS code to win government work

Your NAICS code is not paperwork trivia. It is the hinge the whole federal eligibility question turns on: the buyer assigns one code to the requirement, that code sets the SBA size standard the offers are measured against, and the size standard decides whether your business counts as small — and therefore whether you can compete for the set-aside version of the work at all.

Which means the first question is never “can I do this job”. It is “is this contract classified as work I am registered and sized to do”. A firm that can genuinely perform under 327910 but never listed it on its SAM.gov registration is invisible to the market research a contracting officer does before writing the solicitation, which is where most small-business awards are really decided.

Award history under a code tells you the rest. It shows which agencies actually buy this work and where, which contractors have been holding it, and roughly what it pays — before you spend two weeks on a proposal against an incumbent who has held the contract for nine years. A contract with an end date twelve to eighteen months out is a recompete in the making, and the quiet window before it is posted is when a capability statement and a call to the contracting office are worth more than any proposal you could write later.

None of it works if you are not registered. A federal award requires an active SAM.gov registration with a UEI, and the set-aside on a solicitation decides whether your bid is even read. Both are free to sort out, and both are the most common reason a ready contractor is disqualified on a technicality.

Where this page's facts come from

The classification. U.S. Census Bureau 2022 NAICS. Codes, titles and the sector hierarchy are reproduced verbatim from the Census files and cross-checked against a second official Census file. Nothing is paraphrased or shortened.
The size standard. SBA, 13 CFR 121.201. We print a threshold only when it is published for these exact six digits; where it is not, we say so and link the table rather than showing a related industry's figure.
The award figures. Federal prime contract awards published by USAspending.gov, the government's official spending record. Public record, free, no data vendor in between. Grants, loans and direct payments are excluded — they are not work a contractor competes for — and so is state, county and city purchasing.
What is not here. This is a portion of federal contracting under 327910, not all of it. Treat these figures as a floor: the real market is larger than what is on this page. For an industry this size we publish the exact record count and the per-state figures, and deliberately publish no dollar totals or rankings, because the fold a page render can afford would cover only part of the code.
Missing values. Where USAspending records no amount, agency or recipient, we leave it out instead of filling it in. An award with no reported amount is still counted as an award but enters no total or average, which is why a row's award count can outrun its dollars.
