When is NAICS 238210 a weak fit?
  • Design and engineering services: deliverables limited to electrical designs, load calculations, or drawings without physical installation, wiring, or trade labor.
  • Telecommunications structured cabling contracts: scope centered on data cabling, fiber termination, and network certification rather than power distribution and electrical code work.
  • Electrical equipment manufacturing and assembly: production of switchgear, panels, or transformers in a factory environment without on-site installation, wiring, and branch-circuit hookup responsibilities.
What solicitation language points to NAICS 238210?
