SBA Small Business size standards
Under NAICS 541512 (Computer Systems Design Services), the SBA uses a receipts-based size standard for small business classification. Precision Federal qualifies under the threshold. The same holds across our secondary NAICS codes.
| NAICS | Size standard type | Precision Federal |
|---|---|---|
| 541512 | Receipts-based (SBA IT services threshold) | Qualifies |
| 541511 | Receipts-based | Qualifies |
| 541519 | Receipts-based | Qualifies |
| 541715 | Employee-based (R&D) | Qualifies |
| 518210 | Receipts-based | Qualifies |
Precision Federal will continue to qualify as a small business for the foreseeable future. We run intentionally lean — lean enough that growth stays compatible with small-business size standards for years.
Minority-owned status
The founder, Bo Peng, is a minority (Asian American). Precision Federal is 100% minority-owned and minority-controlled.
Iowa-organized, remote-first delivery
Precision Delivery Federal LLC is organized under Iowa law and operates remote-first across AWS GovCloud and Azure Government, with on-site travel on the cadence the mission requires. The Midwest operating base keeps overhead lean, which means a larger share of every contract dollar goes to engineering effort rather than rent. For federal programs seeking geographic diversity in their vendor base beyond the Beltway, this is a clean way to hit that mark.
Why a small business is the right path for federal AI contracts
Federal contracting outcomes correlate with team structure more than people admit. Small, founder-led firms consistently out-deliver large integrators on production AI work for a few structural reasons:
- Faster decisions. Scoping, pricing, and contract-vehicle decisions happen in one conversation with the person responsible for delivery. No committee, no six-week approval chain.
- More budget to the work. A lean firm routes a higher percentage of every contract dollar to senior engineering hours. Large integrators burn 30-50% on overhead layers that don't touch the code.
- No handoff tax. Pre-sales writes, delivery executes. At Precision Federal, they're the same person. The proposal says what the code will do, and the code does it.
- Small business on the award. Your program's small business participation goes up, and your program gets real AI capability.
- Accountability is personal. When the founder signs, the founder delivers. There's no "the engineer who wrote that proposal left the company" story.
Which set-asides apply
Precision Federal can compete under the following set-aside categories today:
- Small Business set-asides — any solicitation designated SB set-aside under our NAICS codes.
- Partial small business set-asides — the SB portion of combined solicitations.
- SBIR / STTR — inherently small-business programs. Precision Federal is SBIR-registered (approved April 16, 2026) and DSIP-active.
- Small Business Innovation Research Phase III — sole-source authority for follow-on work derived from our Phase I/II awards.
Bringing a requirement to Precision Federal
Here's the efficient way to bring a requirement to Precision Federal, whether you are a program office or a partner firm.
Step 1 — Scope the AI/ML work
Write down, in one paragraph, the AI or ML component of the requirement. Data pipeline, model training, agentic system, RAG, production inference, eval harness — whatever it is.
Step 2 — Email us with the opportunity
Include the vehicle or solicitation, the due date, the scope, and whether you want an NDA first. See contact for a template.
Step 3 — Scope and agreement
We return a proposed scope and, for partner firms, a standard partnering agreement within a few business days. No open-ended exclusivity; we partner on specific opportunities.
Step 4 — Deliver
Your program gets working AI/ML delivered by a senior engineer, with clean documentation.
Why "minority-owned" matters in today's federal procurement context
Many agencies track minority-owned small business participation as part of their socio-economic reporting under the Small Business Act and FAR Part 19. Awarding work to a minority-owned small business with real technical scope moves the reported numbers in a way that reflects actual work performed. Precision Federal offers that: minority-owned status, substantive AI/ML delivery, and clean documentation.
What we will not do
- Pass-through fronting. If the scope is a shell with no actual AI/ML work flowing to us, we decline. Pass-through arrangements are illegal under SBA rules and our brand will not touch them.
- Unlimited exclusivity. We partner on specific opportunities. Blanket exclusive small-business arrangements are not in our or the government's interest.
- Take credit for work we didn't do. If a partner's work is what earned the outcome, we'll say so. Past performance means actual performance.
