FAQ

What work fits NAICS 487110?
  • Operating narrated bus tours along a designated scenic route with trained guides and scheduled departure times.
  • Providing scheduled open-air tram or shuttle services within a park or scenic corridor for visitor circulation during peak periods.
  • Supplying driver-guides and vehicles for event-based sightseeing shuttles with staffing rosters and daily ridership tracking.
  • Running themed or interpretive tours with supplied route maps, script materials, and operator-conducted safety briefings.
When is NAICS 487110 a weak fit?
  • Regular public transit or commuter shuttle services: these prioritize point-to-point transport and schedules rather than narrated sightseeing, interpretive content, or scenic-route focus.
  • Charter bus services for private group travel: charter operations provide one-off or reserved transportation without scheduled public sightseeing routes or interpretive guiding duties.
  • Water-based scenic transportation: waterborne tours and ferries operate on aquatic routes and fall outside land-based sightseeing vehicle operations.
What solicitation language points to NAICS 487110?
  • Scope language requiring narrated tours, guide qualifications, scripted interpretive content, and provision of route maps and tour schedules.
  • Vehicle specifications calling for open-air or low-speed tour vehicles, wheelchair accessibility, passenger-safety equipment, and periodic vehicle inspections.
  • Contract metrics tied to per-passenger fares, daily ridership reporting, schedule adherence KPIs, and submission of staffing rosters and driver licenses.
