FAQ

What work fits NAICS 541870?
  • Door-to-door distribution of program flyers along specified routes with route manifests and delivery affidavits.
  • Insertion of printed flyers or inserts into local newspapers or community publications according to agreed circulation geography and dates.
  • Targeted handout distribution at specified public locations or events with staff for on-site distribution and signed location attendance logs.
  • Kitting and bulk handoff of advertising bundles to a designated carrier with chain-of-custody documentation and scheduled drop-off windows.
When is NAICS 541870 a weak fit?
  • Advertising creative and media buying: contracts focused on ad strategy, creative development, or media placement without physical delivery of printed materials lack the distribution element.
  • Commercial printing of flyers and inserts: printing-only solicitations that do not include last-mile distribution fall under printing services rather than distribution.
  • General courier or freight logistics for commercial goods: parcel delivery for non-advertising merchandise does not include targeted routing or proof-of-distribution for outreach campaigns.
What solicitation language points to NAICS 541870?
  • SOW lists distribution areas by zip code, census tract, or defined geographic polygons with counts per route and delivery windows.
  • Performance requirements call for proof-of-delivery such as GPS-tracked routes, time-stamped photos, or signed delivery affidavits for each bundle.
  • Pricing structure requests per-piece distribution rates, per-route labor hours, and reporting deliverables like route manifests and refusal or exception logs.
