NAICS 813910 (Business Associations) encompasses professional organizations, trade associations, and advocacy groups that provide representation, networking, and specialized services to specific industries, professions, or sectors. These organizations typically offer membership benefits, conduct research, host conferences, develop industry standards, facilitate knowledge sharing, and support policy development. Services may include professional development, technical standards creation, information exchange, and representation of member interests before regulatory bodies and government agencies. Federal contract awards in this category demonstrate a wide range of membership and organizational support services, with contract values ranging from $10,000 to $1,452,648. Frequently awarded entities include professional associations like the National Hydropower Association, American Astronomical Society, Construction Users Roundtable, and Utilities Technology Council. Most awards are firm fixed-price purchase orders from civilian agencies such as the National Science Foundation, Department of Transportation, Department of Energy, and Department of Health and Human Services. Awards consistently show no set-aside designations, indicating open market competition. Common performance locations include Washington, D.C. and various regional centers across the United States. Recent federal contract opportunities involve sole-source procurements for specialized organizational memberships and conference sponsorships. Key opportunities include the National Science Foundation seeking sponsorship for the SACNAS National Diversity in STEM Conference, the Bureau of Reclamation intending to acquire National Hydropower Association membership services, and the Western Area Power Administration pursuing annual membership with the Utilities Technology Council. These opportunities predominantly target civilian agencies and focus on gaining access to unique industry insights, networking opportunities, and specialized research or conference participation that support agency-specific missions and objectives.
