Religious Organizations

NAICS 81311 (Religious Organizations) encompasses a diverse range of religious service providers offering specialized support to military, federal, and institutional settings. These services primarily include religious leadership, education, music direction, and pastoral care across various faith traditions. The providers typically deliver comprehensive religious support through contracted professionals who facilitate worship services, provide spiritual guidance, and coordinate religious programs for specific communities.

Federal Contract Awards under this NAICS code demonstrate a consistent pattern of small business set-aside contracts, predominantly for military installations and federal facilities. Typical contract values range from approximately $40,000 to $200,000 annually, with performance periods spanning one base year and up to four option years. Common funding agencies include the Department of Defense (Air Force, Army, Navy), Department of Veterans Affairs, and Department of Homeland Security. Frequent places of performance include military bases across the United States, with concentrations in states like California, Georgia, Florida, and Virginia. Contracts frequently require specialists such as Catholic Priests, Protestant Chaplains, Music Directors, Religious Education Coordinators, and other faith-based service providers.

Recent federal contract opportunities demonstrate a robust demand for diverse religious support services across multiple federal agencies. Opportunities include Catholic and Protestant clergy services, music directors, religious education coordinators, and specialized roles like CREDO (Chaplains Religious Enrichment Development Operation) facilitators. Notable solicitations cover installations such as Edwards Air Force Base, Fort Knox, Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst, and various VA medical centers. Most opportunities are set aside for small businesses, with a particular emphasis on total small business and women-owned small business categories. The geographic spread of these opportunities spans multiple states, indicating a nationwide requirement for professional religious service providers in federal settings.
