FAQ

What work fits NAICS 922120?
  • Provision of sworn law enforcement patrols and response teams responsible for criminal incident response, arrest authority, and incident reporting on designated government properties.
  • Conduct of criminal investigations, evidence handling, and preparation of investigative reports and arrest affidavits as part of law enforcement casework.
  • Traffic enforcement and collision investigation services including citation issuance, crash reconstruction, and traffic safety enforcement on controlled roadways.
  • Recruit and in-service police training programs delivered to sworn officers covering arrest procedures, use-of-force policy, and investigative technique drills.
When is NAICS 922120 a weak fit?
  • Private security guard services: lacks statutory police powers and arrest authority present in police protection, making it a security services procurement rather than police protection.
  • Corrections and detention operations: focuses on incarceration, custody, and facility management rather than patrol, investigation, and statutory arrest functions of police protection.
  • Criminal justice research or policy analysis: provides analytic or advisory work without delivering operational law enforcement duties, so it falls outside police protection.
What solicitation language points to NAICS 922120?
  • Requirement for sworn officers with arrest authority, firearms qualifications, and certification in law enforcement standards.
  • Deliverables listing incident reports, arrest records, and chain-of-custody documentation for evidence collected during investigations.
  • Performance metrics tied to response times for priority calls, case clearance or investigative output, and mandated officer training completion.
