Is 926130 the right code for a utility regulatory agency?

Yes, if the establishment regulates utilities or communications as a government agency, such as a public utility commission. Utilities themselves, including government owned ones, use utility codes such as 221122. Small businesses almost never use a 92 code, since sector 92 describes government itself rather than the companies that serve it.

Does 926130 have an SBA size standard?

No. Code 926130 covers government agencies, which are not businesses, so SBA does not set a size standard for it. A company that sells to utility regulators is measured by the size standard of its own industry code, and that is the code to use on SBA loan applications and small business set aside bids.

How do businesses that sell to utility regulators finance contracts?

Vendors to utility regulators, such as engineering consultants and IT firms, usually use a line of credit or invoice factoring backed by government receivables, since agencies often pay on 30 to 60 day terms. Equipment loans and SBA 7(a) loans fund growth. Lenders look at the contract, the agency's payment record, bonding where required and the vendor's performance history.
