A size threshold established by the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) that determines whether a business qualifies as a small business for a particular industry. Size Standards are assigned by NAICS Code and are typically based on either average annual receipts or the average number of employees, depending on the industry. A company’s size standard determines its eligibility for federal small business programs, including set-aside contracts and socioeconomic certifications. The SBA periodically reviews and updates size standards to reflect changes in industries and economic conditions
