FAQ

What work fits NAICS 486910?
  • Operation and remote monitoring of refined petroleum transmission pipelines and pump stations, including SCADA telemetry and custody-transfer metering.
  • Pipeline integrity services such as inline pigging runs, internal inspection coordination, and associated data analysis for refined product lines.
  • Emergency response and repair contracts to restore leaks, ruptures, or pump station outages on refined product transmission systems.
  • Planned preventive maintenance and scheduled replacement of pipeline segments, pumps, meters, and ancillary pipeline facilities tied to refined product transportation.
When is NAICS 486910 a weak fit?
  • Oil and gas extraction (upstream production) - prospecting, drilling, well completion, and crude oil production are extraction activities absent here.
  • Petroleum terminal storage and third-party bulk storage operations - bulk storage or terminal inventory management without pipeline transmission services lacks the transportation-by-pipeline element.
  • Pipeline construction contracting (right-of-way construction and new pipeline installation) - civil construction, welding of new pipe, and trenching for new pipelines focus on build activities rather than ongoing pipeline transportation operations.
What solicitation language points to NAICS 486910?
  • Scope lists pump station operator labor categories, SCADA monitoring duties, custody-transfer metering responsibilities, or pigging acceptance tests.
  • Performance requirements specify throughput at custody-transfer meters, allowable leak rates, pipeline availability targets, or pigging frequency and acceptance criteria.
  • Deliverables include pipeline integrity reports, pig inspection tool run reports, meter calibration certificates, emergency response plans, and outage restoration timetables.
