FAQ

What work fits NAICS 221210?
  • Distribution main and service line maintenance including leak repair, cathodic protection checks, and replacement of aged pipe segments.

  • Pipeline integrity management services including patrols, inline inspection support, anomaly assessment, and repair planning for low-pressure and medium-pressure systems.

When is NAICS 221210 a weak fit?

  • Upstream gas production and gathering activities that cover wellhead operations and field processing and lack distribution system metering and customer service obligations.
  • LNG import/export terminals or liquefaction/regasification facilities where the core activities are cryogenic handling and marine transfer rather than piped distribution to end users.
What solicitation language points to NAICS 221210?
  • Labor categories listing gas distribution operator, pipeline technician, meter technician, and emergency response crew with gas-specific certifications.
  • Deliverables requiring daily or weekly leak detection logs, service line inspection reports, meter installation records, and AMI data upload procedures.
  • Performance language specifying response times to reported leaks, restoration timelines for service outages, pipeline patrol frequencies, and compliance with distribution integrity management protocols.
