Is 928110 the right code for a military installation or defense agency?

Yes, if the establishment is part of the armed forces or a national defense agency. Defense contractors use the code for their own work, such as manufacturing, engineering or 561210 for base operations support, and that code sets their SBA size standard.

No. Code 928110 covers government agencies, which are not businesses, so SBA does not set a size standard for it. A company that sells to national security agencies 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 national security agencies finance contracts?

Vendors to national security agencies, such as defense contractors and facilities support 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.
