NAICS 541519

Overview

The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) is the standard used by Federal statistical agencies in classifying business establishments for the purpose of collecting, analyzing, and publishing statistical data related to the U.S. business economy. NAICS was developed under the auspices of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), and adopted in 1997 to replace the Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) system. It was developed jointly by the U.S. Economic Classification Policy Committee (ECPC), Statistics Canada, and Mexico's Instituto Nacional de Estadistica y Geografia, to allow for a high level of comparability in business statistics among the North American countries.

NAICS 541519 — Other Computer Related Services is the catch-all category for computer service establishments not classified in other, more specific categories within the Computer Systems Design and Related Services subsector. For federal contractors, this classification is critical for securing opportunities such as computer disaster recovery, software installation, and IT value-added reselling, which often fall outside the scope of custom programming or systems integration contracts. Analyzing procurement data under this code on platforms like the G2X platform provides insights into agency spending, key contract vehicles, and historical trends for a significant portion of niche IT services.
