FAQ

What work fits NAICS 541618?
  • Assess organization structure, staffing levels, decision rights, and reporting lines, then deliver role recommendations and an executive briefing.
  • Review administrative workflows to identify handoff delays, approval bottlenecks, and cost drivers with revised process maps and cost-benefit analysis.
  • Independent program or policy evaluation producing findings, risk assessments, and recommended corrective actions in a final report and stakeholder workshop.
  • Prepare strategic planning packages with decision options, milestone sequencing, resource assumptions, and performance measures for leadership review.
When is NAICS 541618 a weak fit?
  • IT systems integration and software development: solicitation requires coder resources, software builds, or system deployment that go beyond advisory and study deliverables.
  • Program management or staff augmentation: need for embedded program managers or long-term contract staff performing execution rather than short-term consulting deliverables.
  • Financial statement audit and attestation services: requirement for independent audit procedures, opinions, or assurance reports that follow audit standards rather than advisory studies.
What solicitation language points to NAICS 541618?
  • Scope lists deliverable-based tasks such as reports, briefings, gap analyses, and recommendations with specified page limits and review cycles.
  • Evaluation factors emphasize subject-matter expertise, prior consulting studies, and proposed staffing for short-term assessment tasks instead of long-term program staffing.
  • Contract line items and schedules request fixed-price task orders for discrete studies, facilitated workshops, and written recommendations rather than time-and-materials implementation work.
