Professional Organizations

NAICS 813920 - Professional Organizations encompasses non-profit entities that advance the professional interests of their members through various services, including information sharing, research, standards development, education, representation, and advocacy. These organizations often provide membership benefits such as conferences, publications, networking opportunities, professional development resources, and technical committee participation. They serve as critical platforms for knowledge exchange, collaboration, and standards development across diverse professional sectors.

Federal Contract Awards in this category demonstrate a consistent pattern of firm-fixed-price contracts with values ranging from $2,000 to $250,000, typically with base periods of 12 months and potential option years. Frequently awarded entities include professional associations like the American College of Surgeons, Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society (HIMSS), Alliance for Telecommunications Industry Solutions (ATIS), and the National Association for Public Health Statistics. Common funding agencies include the Department of Veterans Affairs, National Institutes of Health, Department of Defense, and National Aeronautics and Space Administration. Most contracts are not set aside for specific business types, and performance locations are predominantly at the contractor's facilities or virtually.

Recent Federal Contract Opportunities in this NAICS code primarily seek professional membership services, conference sponsorships, accreditation services, and technical standards development.
