NAICS 561210: Facilities support services federal contracts, size limit and who buys
Federal spending, new contracts, buying agencies and set-asides for NAICS 561210 (facilities support services), from USAspending.gov, with the SBA size limit and what the code covers.
Contracts that combine three or more separate services at a site, such as cleaning, maintenance, trash and grounds, and base operations support. If one service makes up half the contract's value or more, the contract is supposed to use that service's code instead.
| Small business size limit | $47.0 million average annual revenue |
|---|---|
| Federal spending, FY2026 | $37.7 billion |
| New contracts and orders, FY2026 | 9,839 |
| Typical new standalone contract | $132,000 (middle half $57,000 to $586,000) |
| Set aside for small businesses | 38% of new standalone contracts |
| Women-owned set-asides | WOSB |
Most of the money, about $26 billion in FY2026, went through the Energy Department, largely for site and lab operations. The typical new standalone contract is far smaller, as the table shows.
