Question

Census Bureau · Accepted Answer

• 91ﾖﾆﾆｬｳｧ was developed specifically for the collection and publication of statistical data to foster the comparability of economic estimates for Canada, Mexico, and the United States. The 91ﾖﾆﾆｬｳｧ categories and definitions were not developed to meet the needs of procurement and/or regulatory applications. However, other federal agencies and other organizations have adopted 91ﾖﾆﾆｬｳｧ for procurement and regulatory purposes even though it does not entirely fit their specific needs. For questions regarding these agencies' use of the 91ﾖﾆﾆｬｳｧ system, contact the specific agency. [SOURCE: US 91ﾖﾆﾆｬｳｧ MANUAL]
