FAQ

What work fits NAICS 532490?
  • Short-term rental of emergency power generators for temporary site operations with scheduled maintenance and fuel handling responsibilities defined in the contract.
  • Leasing mobile field offices and trailers with delivery, setup, relocation, and return logistics specified in statement of work line items.
  • Rental of aerial lifts, forklifts, and material-handling equipment where the lessor provides inspections, parts, batteries or chargers, maintenance records, and replacement-unit procedures.
  • Long-term lease of laboratory or imaging equipment under monthly rates with preventive maintenance, calibration, and spare-part provisioning included.
When is NAICS 532490 a weak fit?
  • Equipment rental with contractor-supplied operators: scope requires billed operator labor and supervised task performance, shifting the obligation toward service-provision classifications rather than pure asset leasing.
  • Equipment sales or capital purchase orders: procurement transfers ownership, warranty, and capital accounting responsibilities rather than time-limited asset provision and rental invoicing.
  • Real property or facility leasing: contracts for building or land occupancy include property management and leasehold rights that fall outside equipment rental and leasing activities.
What solicitation language points to NAICS 532490?
  • Line items that list unit monthly or hourly rental rates, minimum rental periods, delivery and return locations, and equipment condition acceptance checkpoints.
  • Contract language assigning maintenance, spare parts supply, and insured replacement thresholds to the lessor instead of buyer-furnished equipment responsibilities.
  • Evaluation criteria that weight equipment availability, uptime guarantees, time-to-delivery of replacements, and documented inventory of available units.
