FAQ

What work fits NAICS 315990?
  • Production of sewn accessory items such as belts, straps, and webbing assemblies built to buyer drawings with specified materials and stitching strength.
  • Manufacture of embroidered or woven patches and insignia supplied as loose goods with backing options and packing per contract instructions.
  • Supply of small sewn protective items such as aprons or gaiters requiring specified fabric treatments and certificates of material compliance.

When is NAICS 315990 a weak fit?
  • Full-garment outerwear manufacturing where the prime deliverable is ready-to-wear coats and jackets; missing the accessory-focused cut, finish, and accessory assembly scope that defines this NAICS.
  • Textile finishing and dye-house work where the core activity is dyeing, printing, or finishing yardage rather than cutting, sewing, and final accessory assembly required by this NAICS.
  • Wholesale distribution or retail resale of apparel accessories where the primary activity is inventory management and sales rather than manufacturing operations such as cutting, sewing, and finishing.
What solicitation language points to NAICS 315990?
  • Detailed fabrication drawings and material callouts for accessory parts, sewing and stitch-class requirements, and acceptance inspection criteria for finished accessory items.
  • Line items that request lot-based finished-goods deliveries with inspection samples, size grading charts, and packaging/labeling instructions for each lot.
  • Labor categories or evaluation factors naming sewers, cutters, finishers, or quality inspectors with textile/garment experience and documented stitch-performance testing.
