Conmputer/Internet Server NAICS Codes
I have a question about which NAICS codes would best describe a contribution study for computer and internet data server farms. Basically the large warehouses used to store data for large internet and computer companies. Here is what I was thinking but I haven't found any similar threads on your forums about such industry codes so I'd like some input.
I was thinking the 5415 series, which includes computer systems design and related services computer programming services, computer facilities management services, and other computer related services. This would be for the services side of things.
For the manufacturing of such computer parts (if they are taking part in this process as well) would be the 3341 series, which includes computer and peripheral equipment manufacturing, computer storage device manufacturing, and computer terminal and other computer peripheral equipment manufacturing.
Like I said I'm curious if anybody else is familiar with this and let me know if I'm in the right direction.

IMPLAN SupportHi Brain. Your approach looks fine. NAICS 5415 maps well with IMPLAN Sector 371 for computer systems design and related services computer programming services, computer facilities management services, and other computer related services. NAICS3341 maps to IMPLAN Sector 234 for the manufacturing of computer, peripheral equipment manufacturing, computer storage device manufacturing, and computer terminal and other computer peripheral equipment manufacturing. We hope this helps.0 -
Looking a little closer into the IMPLAN industry codes wouldn't the code of 352 make a little more sense in this case? It contains descriptions such as computer data storage services and data processing computer services but also computer time rental/leasing? Granted the data we receive could have aspects of both but as far as data centers and their storage of information these might have a major role as well correct?0

IMPLAN SupportHi Brian. We recommend consulting the 440 IMPLAN Sector Scheme (2007 to Current), which includes a bridge between IMPLAN sectors and NAICS codes. The bridge table can be located here: https://implan.com/v4/index.php?option=com_docman&task=cat_view&gid=145&Itemid=60 Data and server farms fit into NAICS 518210 (IMPLAN 352). NAICS 541513 (part of IMPLAN 373) is for on-site management of clients' computer facilities, so a stand-alone farm would best fit under 518210 (IMPLAN 352) - see https://www.census.gov/cgi-bin/sssd/naics/naicsrch?code=541513&search=2012.
