We analyze the energy density spectrum of \acp{SIGW} using the NANOGrav 15-year data set, thereby constraining the primordial non-Gaussian parameter fNL. For the first time, we calculate the seventeen missing two-loop diagrams proportional to fNLAζ3 that correspond to the two-point correlation function ⟨hkλ,(3)hk′λ′,(2)⟩ for local-type primordial non-Gaussianity. The total energy density spectrum of \acp{SIGW} can be significantly suppressed by these two-loop diagrams. If \acp{SIGW} dominate the \acp{SGWB} observed in \ac{PTA} experiments, the parameter interval fNL∈[−5,−1] is notably excluded based on NANOGrav 15-year data set. After taking into account abundance of \acp{PBH} and the convergence of the cosmological perturbation expansion, we find that the only possible parameter range for fNL might be −1≤fNL<0.
