How do I find my NAIC number?
NAIC and NAICS are different. NAIC is for insurance companies, while NAICS is the industry classification used in federal contracting.
Many small businesses confuse "NAIC" with "NAICS," but lenders and insurers often use "NAIC number" to describe an insurance company identification code, while federal contracting uses a 6-digit NAICS industry classification.
For government contracting, focus on your NAICS code: identify your main line of business and use the Census Bureau's NAICS search to match the best-fitting industry description. You can also look up competitors and see which NAICS codes appear on recent federal awards in your niche.
