SIC Code Information

The Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) is a system for classifying industries by a four-digit code. If the search terms are less than 4 digits, SEED looks for SIC codes that start with these numbers, so a search for “4” returns companies with SICs between 4000 and 4999.

SIC codes correspond to these twelve divisions:

SIC Codes	Division
0100-0999	Agriculture, Forestry and Fishing
1000-1499	Mining
1500-1799	Construction
1800-1999	not used
2000-3999	Manufacturing
4000-4999	Transportation, Communications, Electric, Gas and Sanitary service
5000-5199	Wholesale Trade
5200-5999	Retail Trade
6000-6799	Finance, Insurance and Real Estate
7000-8999	Services
9100-9729	Public Administration
9900-9999	Nonclassifiable
