FAQ

What work fits NAICS 322291?
  • Converting large parent paper rolls into finished retail toilet tissue rolls with specified ply, roll diameter, core dimensions, and palletized unit pack delivery with lot traceability.
  • Manufacture of center-pull or coreless institutional toilet rolls and industrial wipers produced to specified roll length, sheet count, and core type.
  • Production of folded paper hand towels and facial tissues manufactured to specified sheet size, ply, absorbency, and consumer packaging counts.
  • Manufacture of paper napkins and tableware paper products with specified embossing, sheet dimensions, and packaged case counts for institutional use.
When is NAICS 322291 a weak fit?
  • Wholesale distribution of sanitary paper products: procurement focuses on stocking and resale without on-site converting or manufacturing capabilities, so it is a distribution contract.
  • Pulp and paper mill operations: involves raw pulp production and pulping processes rather than converting parent rolls into finished sanitary paper products.
  • Nonwoven medical absorbent manufacturing: uses nonwoven fabrics and polymer absorbents rather than paper converting and therefore falls outside sanitary paper product manufacturing.
What solicitation language points to NAICS 322291?
  • Specifications for basis weight, ply count, roll diameter, core size, embossing pattern, and requested production line capabilities.
  • Deliverables requiring palletized finished packs with barcodes, lot traceability, and specified consumer or institutional pack counts per pallet.
  • Quality and test requirements calling for production lot test reports for tensile strength and absorbency using referenced test methods.
