Is 926140 the right code for an agricultural regulatory agency?

Yes, if the establishment regulates agricultural marketing, grading or commodities as a government agency. Private farm consultants use 541690. Farms and farm service businesses use agriculture codes in sector 11. Small businesses almost never use a 92 code, since sector 92 describes government itself rather than the companies that serve it.

Does 926140 have an SBA size standard?

No. Code 926140 covers government agencies, which are not businesses, so SBA does not set a size standard for it. A company that sells to agricultural marketing 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 agricultural marketing regulators finance contracts?

Vendors to agricultural marketing regulators, such as inspection services and agricultural consultants, 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.
