Classification Codes

 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

CBDNetSimple-SearchFielded-SearchExtractBrowseSearch-Help

Notices of contract actions that appear in the CBD are arranged by classification codes. Classification codes are divided into two primary groups; Services and Supplies. Listed below are the titles and examples of the service codes.

Please be aware that the CBD staff is not authorized to determine the classification code for any notice. Only the Contracting Officer who issued the notice is authorized to determine the classification code. Therefore, the Contracting Officer is held responsible if a notice of a contract action is misclassified, and as a result fails to effectively notify the firms most likely to respond and violates the Competition in Contracting Act. For additional information see Comptroller General Decision No. B-228774, dated November 12, 1987.
