FAQ

What work fits NAICS 311812?
  • High-volume production of packaged breads and rolls meeting specified loaf sizes, slice counts, and shelf-life requirements for distribution programs.
  • Production of parbaked or fully baked frozen bread products for later finishing at distribution points or food service facilities.
  • Manufacture of specialty formulation breads such as low-sodium or gluten-reduced loaves to meet dietary specification contracts.
  • Contract packaging and labeling of baked goods with case configurations, lot codes, and ingredient disclosure required for supply chain distribution.
When is NAICS 311812 a weak fit?
  • Small artisan bakery retail operations that produce handcrafted small-batch items without industrial-scale continuous ovens, automated dough lines, or sealed packaging.
  • Onsite commissary kitchens preparing made-to-order meals and plated food where output is prepared meals rather than packaged baked goods for distribution.
  • Snack or cereal manufacturing focused on extruded or grain-based snack products where processing, ingredients, and equipment differ from commercial bakery bread and roll production.
What solicitation language points to NAICS 311812?
  • Specifications that request daily or weekly case production capacities, oven throughput rates, and production scheduling to meet sustained delivery requirements.
  • Deliverables listing product formulations, declared shelf life, allergen control procedures, packaging dimensions, and parbake versus fully baked state.
  • Evaluation criteria that emphasize sanitation inspection history, production facility layout and equipment list, and experience with comparable bakery contract volumes.
