CCS of South Bend Discarity Study 2020 tract and subcontract payments for the study period .117 However, for this study, we went further, and applied a "90/90/90" rule, whereby we analyzed NAICS codes for City -funded contracts that cover over 90 percent of the total contract dollars; over 90 percent of the prime contract dollars; and over 90 percent of the subcontract dollars. We took this approach to assure a comprehensive analysis of the City of South Bend's contracting activities. The City of South Bend's Unconstrained Product Markets Tables 4-1 through 4-3 present the NAICS codes used to define the product market for the City's contracts. These contracts were disaggregated by level of contract (i.e., was the firm receiving the contract as a prime vendor or a sub- contractor), the label for each NAICS code, and the industry percentage distri- bution of the number of contracts and spending across NAICS codes. The following tables present South Bend's unconstrained product market, which was later constrained by the geographic market area, discussed below.
