FAQ

What work fits NAICS 512199?
  • Color grading and digital intermediate services for training and informational video projects delivered as final masters.
  • Visual effects and motion graphics creation to augment completed video productions and informational content.
  • Format conversion, mastering, and delivery of final programs in specified codecs and container formats with closed-captioning and audio description.
  • Secure duplication, archiving, and transfer of raw and finished media with documented chain-of-custody for archival or evidentiary use.
When is NAICS 512199 a weak fit?
  • Principal photography and film production: on-set camera, lighting, and production direction work creating primary footage belongs to production, not this post-production category.
  • Film distribution and exhibition: activities focused on theatrical release, streaming platform distribution, or exhibition logistics are outside specialized post-production services.
  • Software or tool development for video editing: building editing or VFX software is a software development activity rather than motion picture or video post-production.
What solicitation language points to NAICS 512199?
  • Statement of work specifies deliverables as final masters in defined codecs, wrap-sheets with timecode and metadata, and delivered file manifests.
  • Security requirements call for secure media handling, chain-of-custody logs, and encrypted transfer of raw media and masters.
  • Labor categories list post-production roles such as editor, colorist, VFX artist, and mastering engineer with hourly or task-based rates and specified deliverable milestones.
