NAICS

NAICS is the North American Industry Classification System — the six-digit code set that the United States, Canada and Mexico use to say what a business does. Adopted by OMB in 1997 and revised every five years, it is the classification underneath federal economic statistics, small-business size standards, procurement, and most commercial firmographic data. It is a code list, not an interface: the structure is published as spreadsheets, and there is no authoritative endpoint that resolves a code to its industry.
