Register under the right codes
For environmental services work, the relevant NAICS codes are generally 5621, 5622, 5629. Use the ones that match what you actually do:
- Federal: register on SAM.gov and add those NAICS codes to your profile.
- Texas state & local: register on CMBL / Texas SmartBuy (ESBD) — https://comptroller.texas.gov/purchasing/ — and select the matching commodity/NAICS codes.
Texas bid opportunities are posted at txsmartbuy.GOV — a similarly-named .com is not the official site.
Confirm the exact codes and current steps with the agency, and check the address ends in .gov before entering business information. Process guidance, not legal or procurement advice.
Find environmental services bids in Texas

Small-business set-asides
A share of Texas's federal contracting is reserved for small businesses through set-aside programs (small business, 8(a), HUBZone, WOSB, SDVOSB). If your firm qualifies, these can be the most winnable environmental services opportunities.
Eligibility rules are specific and change. Check SBA.gov and verify your eligibility before relying on any set-aside. Educational, not a determination that you qualify.
