Common NAICS codes on DOE solicitations
Small-business notes
Much of DOE's work flows through M&O contractors at the labs and sites rather than through direct awards, so subcontracting to the M&O is frequently the practical route in. Environmental Management is the most accessible direct-award portfolio for mid-size firms.
