What this NAICS covers
NAICS 325991 covers custom compounding of purchased polymer resins through blending, additive incorporation, melt processing and pelletizing to produce specified polymer compounds delivered as feedstock for plastics processing operations.
Federal opportunities under 325991 typically involve small-batch formulation runs, color and property matching, lot-level quality testing and certificates, packaging for moisture-sensitive resins, and supply of pelletized compounded materials to manufacturing lines.

FAQ
What work fits NAICS 325991?
- Compounding thermoplastic pellets to a specified polymer blend with defined additive loadings, color match, and targeted melt flow properties for part molding.
- Producing flame-retardant or UV-stabilized resin batches per specification with lot-level test reports for tensile, MFI, and additive concentrations.
- Blending and regrading purchased resin lots to achieve agreed material property targets and supplying pelletized output with traceability.
- Packaging compounded resins with moisture control and delivering sealed, palletized shipments along with safety data sheets and batch certificates.
When is NAICS 325991 a weak fit?
- Injection molding or thermoforming of finished plastic parts where the activity is part production rather than compounding purchased resins into feedstock.
- Chemical manufacturing of monomers or polymerization plants that synthesize base resins rather than blending and compounding purchased polymer resins.
- Coatings, adhesives, or sealant formulation applied as finished liquid products at point of application rather than pelletized resin feedstock production and supply.
What solicitation language points to NAICS 325991?
- Statement of work requests production of specified resin formulations with required melt flow index, tensile strength targets, and additive loading levels with batch test certificates.
- Solicitation asks for small-batch qualification runs, provision of test samples, retained sample protocols, and approval of first-article compound.
- Delivery requirements specify pelletized resin packaging, moisture-barrier shipment, MSDS provision, and lot-level traceability for incoming manufacturing use.
