RFP’s NAICS Code Need Not Be Listed on Awardee’s SAM Profile
A prospective contractor is not ineligible for award merely because its SAM profile doesn’t list the solicitation’s NAICS code. In a recent decision, the GAO denied a bid protest challenging the eligibility of an awardee whose SAM profile was missing the relevant NAICS code.
