What is the difference between NAICS 541512 and 541519?
NAICS 541512 focuses on systems design, integration, and architecture — building and connecting complex IT systems ($22.1B five-buyer, average award $1.78M).

Agency-specific IDIQs like Army ITES-3S and Navy SeaPort NxG also carry significant 541512 task order volume.
SCOUT Signal

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.
