Overview
NAICS 541511 Custom Computer Programming Services: how IT Custom Solution wins federal and SLED software contracts and builds custom software for commercial buyers.
In government procurement
In federal and SLED procurement, 541511 is the code agencies file under when they buy bespoke software: custom web applications, API and integration work, legacy modernization, and Section 508 / WCAG accessibility work. It is one of the five primary codes on ITC’s SAM.gov record, and it carries a small-business size standard that makes it a common set-aside lane for firms our size. Contracting officers scoping a custom-build requirement filter the bidder pool on 541511 first, so registration plus demonstrated build capability is what gets you into the evaluation.

Common questions
What is NAICS 541511 used for?
It classifies the procurement of custom-written software: applications built to a buyer’s specification rather than off-the-shelf product. In government it scopes bespoke build requirements; in the commercial market it covers the same custom application work.
Is 541511 a small-business set-aside code?
It carries a receipts-based small-business size standard, which is why agencies frequently set 541511 requirements aside for small businesses. ITC is a small business registered under this code on SAM.gov.
Does ITC build software for non-government clients under this capability?
Yes. The build capability is the same whether the buyer is an agency or a commercial company. ITC develops and operates its own SaaS products on the same stack it uses for client engagements.
