FAQ

What work fits NAICS 324191?
  • Contract production of specified lubricant formulations at scale, delivering batch-certified drums or totes with traceable lot numbers and accompanying test certificates.
  • Formulate and produce greases with specified thickener types and performance ratings for industrial equipment, including bench test reports and shelf-life documentation.
  • Provide private-label filling and packaging services with label compliance, container certification, and barcoded batch tracking for contract supply chains.
  • Manage quality control labs for incoming feedstock testing, in-process viscosity and contaminant monitoring, and release testing per specified acceptance criteria.
When is NAICS 324191 a weak fit?
  • Base oil refining or crude oil distillation that require refinery process units and crude fractionation; this NAICS excludes primary petroleum refining operations.
  • Retail fuel distribution, fueling station operation, or on-site fuel delivery that primarily dispense fuel products to vehicles; missing are retail point-of-sale operations and fuel dispensary.
  • Chemical manufacturing of non-lubricant additives or industrial chemicals where synthesis produces non-lubricant end-products; this NAICS excludes general chemical synthesis without lubricant blending and packaging.
What solicitation language points to NAICS 324191?
  • Statement of work lists formulation recipes, required viscosity grades and ASTM test methods, batch lot traceability, and certificates of analysis tied to each shipment.
  • Contract line items for drum, tote, or bulk tanker quantities with packaging specifications, labeling requirements, and packaging inspection acceptance criteria.
  • Quality requirements specify on-site or subcontracted lab testing, retained sample protocols, material safety data sheets, and shelf-life or storage condition controls.
