The Online Representations and Certifications Application (ORCA) system was updated to use the 2007 series of NAICS codes, replacing the 2002 series.  If you need to change the NAICS that is currently displayed in your ORCA record, the change must be made in the Central Contractor Registration (CCR) application (http://www.ccr.gov).  You will have to resubmit/update your CCR record with the new NAICS.  After the change is reflected in CCR, log into ORCA (https://orca.bpn.gov) to resubmit your ORCA record.  If you have any questions, please contact the ORCA Help Desk at https://orca.bpn.gov/miscl/feedback.aspx.

For more information regarding the 2007 NAICS codes, please visit the US CensusBureau website at http://www.census.gov/epcd/naics07/index.html.
