FAQ

What work fits NAICS 485119?
  • Operate scheduled fixed-route bus or light-rail service on published timetables, including driver staffing, vehicle dispatch, and daily operations reporting.
  • Provide demand-response and ADA paratransit passenger transport with eligibility verification, trip scheduling, and specialized vehicle operation.
  • Run a transit operations control center and fare collection operations, including real-time passenger information, revenue handling, and incident response.
  • Operate short-haul campus or installation shuttle systems, including vehicle operations, daily reporting, and vehicle availability oversight.
When is NAICS 485119 a weak fit?
  • Transit vehicle manufacturing - solicitation requires factory production, tooling, or vehicle assembly rather than operation and passenger transport.
  • Highway, bridge, or fixed-guideway construction - procurement demands civil construction, track laying, or station construction rather than operating scheduled transit services.
  • Heavy vehicle remanufacture or major overhaul shops - scope focused on vehicle rebuilding, fabrication, or parts manufacturing fits repair or manufacturing codes, not transit operations.
What solicitation language points to NAICS 485119?
  • Labor categories list transit operators, dispatchers, maintenance oversight, and vehicle attendants with required commercial driver licenses or transit operator certifications.
  • Performance Work Statement cites on-time performance targets, headway intervals, vehicle availability percentages, and penalties or incentives tied to those metrics.
  • Deliverables require daily ridership reports, fare revenue reconciliation, operations logs, and real-time AVL/telemetry integration with a central control system.
