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.

Across DoD, VA, HHS, GSA, and DHS (five-buyer lens), agencies obligated approximately $53.8B under NAICS 236220 across 22,240 awards in the trailing 12 months (Aug 2025–Aug 2026). Source: PrimeRFP SCOUT, obligations_only, ≥$100K floor.
Can small businesses win NAICS 236220 contracts?
Yes. GSA's 2,952 awards include many set-aside competitions, and the VA actively uses small business set-asides for facility renovations under $10M. DoD MILCON awards above $750K are often competed on a full-and-open basis, but smaller task orders through JOC (Job Order Contracts) and MATOC vehicles are frequently set aside for small businesses.
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.
