Frequently Asked Questions — NAICS 236220
What federal contracts fall under NAICS 236220?
NAICS 236220 covers construction of commercial and institutional buildings for the federal government — including military barracks, base facilities, VA hospitals, federal courthouses, border infrastructure, embassy compounds, and general-purpose government office buildings. It excludes heavy civil construction (roads, bridges — NAICS 237) and residential construction.
How much does the federal government spend on NAICS 236220?
Agencies obligated $52.3B under NAICS 236220 across 11,956 awards in the trailing 12 months (Oct 2025–Oct 2026). Source: PrimeRFP SCOUT, obligations only, ≥$100K unique-award floor.
Can small businesses win NAICS 236220 contracts?
Yes. Facility renovations, job-order contracts, and MATOC task orders are frequently set aside for small businesses, including at the VA. Large MILCON and border-construction awards — Fisher Sand & Gravel is at $13.4B on this extract — are usually full-and-open. Smaller renovation task orders remain the practical small-business lane.
What contract vehicles are used for federal construction under NAICS 236220?
Key vehicles include DoD MILCON (Military Construction), GSA multiple-award construction contracts (MACCs), VA's NRM (Non-Recurring Maintenance) IDIQ, DHS CBP construction vehicles, and the Army Corps of Engineers MATOC. JOC (Job Order Contracts) handle smaller renovation and repair work, often with small business set-asides.
SCOUT Signal
September 2026
Service-disabled veteran-owned contract actions fell 15% at the VA in a single month.
Meanwhile VA's service-disabled veteran-owned contract actions fell 15.3%. The same agency, the same month, the large-vendor lane expanding while the small-business lane contracted. Figures are civilian-agency obligations through 2026-08-31; DoD FPDS for this window is labeled incomplete.
This issue is the whole civilian market. Your capture plan isn't.
