FAQ

What work fits NAICS 212114?
  • Strip mining to remove overburden, expose coal seams, drill and blast, load face material to trucks, and haul coal to on-site crushers for sizing and stockpiling.
  • Operation and maintenance of heavy earthmoving fleets (draglines, shovels, haul trucks) to meet specified monthly coal production and overburden removal volumes.
  • On-site primary crushing and screening to produce run-of-mine or sized coal for rail or truck dispatch with belt sampling and daily tonnage measurement.
  • Implementation and completion of final reclamation tasks required by mine permits, including grading, topsoil replacement, revegetation, and documentation for permit closure.
When is NAICS 212114 a weak fit?
  • Underground coal mining where the missing element is underground development, roof support, and longwall or room-and-pillar extraction rather than surface excavation.
  • Coal beneficiation or washing plants where the missing element is detailed cleaning, flotation, and wet processing separate from site extraction and overburden removal.
  • Non-coal surface mining for aggregates or hard rock where the missing element is extraction of non-fuel minerals rather than bituminous coal recovery.
What solicitation language points to NAICS 212114?
  • Scope specifies monthly production tonnage, overburden removal cubic yards, and required equipment fleet composition (draglines, shovels, haul trucks).
  • Solicitation requests existing mine permits, bond coverage details, and documented history of meeting reclamation milestones and permit conditions.
  • Performance requirements call for drill-and-blast plans with vibration limits, dust suppression measures, and submission of daily production, haulage, and environmental monitoring reports.
