FAQ

What work fits NAICS 493110?
  • Staging and short-term storage of materiel prior to deployment with receiving, inspection, and outbound consolidation services.

  • Fulfillment and kitting for supply packages, including order picking, packing, and shipment coordination under specified pick-and-pack SLAs.
  • Secure storage and distribution of asset-heavy equipment using pallet racking, forklift service, gated compounds, and embedded inventory management systems.
When is NAICS 493110 a weak fit?

  • Explosives or licensed ordnance magazines: scope mandates licensed explosive magazine management, specialized ordnance handling permits, and explosive safety programs absent from general warehousing responsibilities.
What solicitation language points to NAICS 493110?
  • Line items specify number of pallet positions, required square footage or rack configuration, and distinct invoiced storage periods per lot.
  • Performance work statement requires daily receiving/inspection, cycle counts, monthly inventory reconciliation, and government property reporting.
