Dominant NAICS: 541330 (engineering — rail-network economic analysis), 541512 (IT — rate complaint and case-management systems), and 541611 (consulting).

Why bid Surface Transportation Board

STB contracts are small and specialized. Rail-freight economics and rate-regulation expertise (R-1 report analysis, constrained market pricing, URCS cost methodology) are niche differentiators. Public Trust suitability is standard. All contracts are small-business set-asides or simplified acquisition. GSA MAS is the primary vehicle.
