FAQ

What work fits NAICS 111940?

When is NAICS 111940 a weak fit?

  • Pasture leasing or grazing services where the missing element is animal grazing management rather than harvesting, baling, and storing forage.
  • Grain crop production for sale as grain where the missing element is combine harvesting and grain storage rather than baling forage for livestock feed.
What solicitation language points to NAICS 111940?
  • Specification lists bale size and type (round or square), maximum moisture percentage, allowable foreign material, and required laboratory nutrient analysis with bale tags.
  • Scope requires harvest and delivery within specified cutting dates and weather windows with penalties for delivered hay outside moisture or quality limits.
