NAICS

NAICS is the North American industry classification system, structured from 20 sectors down to detailed 6-digit industries. It is important for supplier discovery, procurement analysis, market sizing, and business benchmarking across the United States, Canada, and Mexico.

Why NAICS-based monitoring matters

NAICS is used widely across government procurement, business directories, supplier discovery, credit workflows, market-sizing, and sector analysis. If your users think in NAICS, your news layer should too.

What Problem Does It Solve?

Industry names vary, overlap, and create noise. NAICS gives applications a standard way to organize companies and sectors, which is especially useful for procurement platforms, supplier intelligence, sales prospecting, market research, and AI workflows that need structured industry context.

Who Is It For?

Developers building procurement, supplier discovery, B2B sales intelligence, or market research products.

Government, public-sector, and contractor teams working with NAICS-coded procurement and supplier data.

Analysts tracking industry signals across manufacturing, services, retail, logistics, and technology.

AI teams enriching industry-aware assistants and company-intelligence workflows.

Key Benefits

Retrieve news by NAICS code rather than inconsistent industry wording.

Support procurement, supplier risk, sales targeting, market research, and due-diligence workflows.

Combine NAICS retrieval with boolean search to focus on tenders, labor, regulation, investment, M&A, or technology.

Use headlines, briefs, and full text depending on how much depth your users need.

Access the service through API, MCP, and the web app.

Use Cases

Government procurement and contractor tools that monitor industries tied to bid opportunities.

Supplier-intelligence products that watch NAICS-coded segments for disruption and growth signals.

Sales and market-research platforms that build industry-aware news feeds.

AI agents that summarize what is happening inside a target NAICS industry before prospecting or analysis.

How It Works

Store the NAICS codes relevant to your watchlist, procurement universe, or target market.

Retrieve headlines, briefs, or full text and add boolean terms to narrow the story set.

Filter by geography or language, then route the results into apps, alerts, CRM workflows, or AI agents.

AI and MCP Workflows

Use MCP so AI agents can gather NAICS-based industry news before writing procurement notes, supplier summaries, or sector research.

Combine NAICS retrieval with company IDs, geographies, and product codes for richer account intelligence.

Automate industry-aware monitoring across public-sector, commercial, and B2B workflows.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where is NAICS used? NAICS is used widely in North American industry classification, procurement, supplier data, market research, and business intelligence.

Is this useful for government procurement? Yes. That is one of the strongest reasons to use NAICS-based retrieval.

Can AI agents help analyze a NAICS watchlist? Yes. MCP access makes that a very practical workflow.

Getting Started

Start with the NAICS codes that define your procurement universe, supplier map, prospecting target list, or research segment. Then choose headlines, briefs, or full text depending on the depth required. API, MCP, and web app access are included. Each headline costs 1 credit, each brief costs 2 credits, and each full text result costs 5 credits. For teams that monitor industries every day, the annual plan is more persuasive because you pay for only 10 months and get 12 months of access, which gives you 2 months free.
