What your code does, and does not, decide
It sets your size standard. NAICS stands for North American Industry Classification System. SBA sets small business size standards industry by industry, matched to NAICS codes, and contracting officers assign one NAICS code and its size standard to every solicitation. That is how the government decides whether you count as a small business for a given contract.

It does not decide whether CMMC applies. What matters is the information you handle. In IAM's words: “If you touch DP3 shipment information, you are part of the cybersecurity chain of custody.” So whatever your code, the Project Spectrum steps are the same.
