FAQ

What work fits NAICS 115116?
  • Operate an owner-held research or demonstration farm as manager, handling planting and rotation schedules, input purchases, crew supervision, and disposition of produced commodities.
  • Manage crop and livestock production on a large acreage farm including irrigation and pest/fertility programs, seasonal labor management, and farm-level financial reporting.
  • Administer tenant farmland relationships for an owner, negotiating lease terms, inspecting tenant operations, enforcing lease compliance, and overseeing production outcomes.
  • Manage specialty crop production under contract, including organic compliance administration, harvest timing, direct-market sales coordination, and required production recordkeeping.
When is NAICS 115116 a weak fit?
  • Custom harvesting and seasonal labor contracts: missing long-term operational control, input procurement, and management responsibility that define farm management services.
  • Farmland leasing and real estate lessor services: missing day-to-day production decisions, staffing, and commodity marketing obligations central to farm management.
  • Agricultural research trial administration: missing commercial production management and commodity marketing responsibilities that differentiate farm management from experimental research.
What solicitation language points to NAICS 115116?
  • Requirement for an annual farm business plan, crop rotation schedules, production budgets, and monthly operational reports under contractor responsibility.
  • Performance metrics tied to yield per acre, livestock production targets, or revenue generated from marketed commodities.
  • Labor categories requesting farm manager, agronomist responsible for operational decisions, and field crew supervisors rather than short-term harvest crews.
