What is NAICS 541511?

Writing, modifying, testing, and supporting software to meet the needs of a particular customer. Closely related to NAICS 541512 (systems design), but 541511 anchors on bespoke application development rather than architecture-level integration work. Federal demand is broad: DoD DISA application modernization, DLA supply-chain software, USDA farm-data platforms, and HHS benefits-system development. Agencies that lack their own FFRDC capacity frequently buy 541511 through open competition.
