How the government buys HR consulting work
- Many agencies order this work through GSA's Multiple Award Schedule (MAS) instead of posting an open solicitation. Holding a schedule contract opens those orders to you.
- Personal services contracts, where the government supervises contractor staff like employees, are generally not allowed (FAR 37.104); solicitations describe outcomes, not positions.
Industry codes
Federal contracts are filed under NAICS industry codes. This page counts this one; each has its own page with every office that buys it and the newest awards.
- NAICS 541612 Human Resources Consulting Services (2007), Human Resources and Executive Search Consulting Services (2002) · SBA small business size standard: Average annual receipts of $29 million or less
