FAQ

What work fits NAICS 423930?
  • Bulk purchase and resale of baled mixed paper, OCC, and cardboard to secondary processors with grade certification and lot-based invoicing.
  • Consolidation and sale of recovered ferrous and nonferrous metals by weight lot, including provision of weight tickets and manifests for each shipment.
  • Supply of recycled plastic flakes or pellets sourced from multiple generators, packaged and delivered with material data sheets and contamination limits.
  • Order fulfillment and just-in-time delivery of specified recycled-material lots for government reuse programs, including monthly inventory reports and sale reconciliations.
When is NAICS 423930 a weak fit?
  • Municipal solid waste collection: involves curbside collection and route-based pickup services rather than merchant purchasing and resale of graded recyclable lots.
  • Materials recovery facility operations: MRF work focuses on processing and separating incoming municipal recyclables for waste management services rather than merchant wholesale resale activity.
  • Manufacturing of products from recycled feedstock: converting recyclables into finished goods or components is manufacturing, not merchant wholesaling of recyclable commodities.
What solicitation language points to NAICS 423930?
  • Line items priced per short ton or per bale for OCC, mixed paper, PET flakes, or specific metal grades with required lot weights.
  • Specifications that set bale/grade standards, maximum moisture or contamination percentages, sampling and acceptance procedures, and required material certificates.
  • Logistics clauses requiring FOB origin or destination, provision of weight tickets/manifests, consolidated pickup schedules, and monthly inventory or reconciliation reporting.
