Bids for this service mostly use 485113 (Bus and Other Motor Vehicle Transit Systems), 485111 (Mixed Mode Transit Systems), 485119 (Other Urban Transit Systems) and 485991 (Special Needs Transportation). Check the NAICS code in each notice: it decides the size standard for small-business set-asides.
