FAQ

What work fits NAICS 485113?
  • Operate fixed-route urban or regional bus services including drivers, scheduling, fare collection, and daily route performance reporting.
  • Provide demand-response paratransit service with trip scheduling, eligibility verification, driver escorts, and real-time dispatching and trip manifests.
  • Deliver shuttle transit operations between facilities with vehicle operations, driver supervision, passenger manifests, and schedule coordination.
  • Manage a transit operations center responsible for driver training, route scheduling, incident response, and submission of monthly ridership, revenue, and on-time reports.
When is NAICS 485113 a weak fit?
  • Vehicle maintenance and repair shops: missing passenger transport operations and scheduling and focused on mechanical service and parts repair rather than operating transit routes.
  • School bus transportation services: different procurement classification for pupil transport, missing public transit route scheduling, fare collection, and paratransit obligations.
  • Transit vehicle manufacturing or major vehicle retrofitting: missing operational service delivery; this NAICS does not cover vehicle production or factory rebuild work.
What solicitation language points to NAICS 485113?
  • Performance metrics specify on-time performance percentage, average passenger wait time, vehicle revenue miles, and monthly ridership and farebox reporting.
  • Statement of work lists labor categories for drivers, dispatchers, and transit supervisors with required background checks, drug testing, and training hours.
  • RFP requires ADA-compliant wheelchair securement procedures, paratransit trip records, and documentation of accessible vehicle availability and deployment.
