FAQ

What work fits NAICS 311230?
  • Operate extrusion lines to produce extruded puffed cereal shapes, apply sweet or savory coatings, and package in consumer and bulk institutional sizes.
  • Run flaking mills to produce toasted flakes from rolled grains, fraction and size-separate product, and supply packaged cereal cartons for distribution.
  • Provide contract manufacturing for branded cereal formulations, handling ingredient batching, finished-product testing, and certified lot traceability.
  • Manage bulk packaging and case palletizing operations for large-volume cereal orders with shelf-life labeling and pallet unitization for shipment.
When is NAICS 311230 a weak fit?
  • Snack bar or candy production where the principal processes are confectionary cooking, deposition, or baking of bar and candy formulations instead of grain flaking, extrusion, or cereal-forming operations.
  • Bread, roll, and general bakery manufacturing where dough fermentation and baking produce baked goods rather than cereal-forming and puffing processes.
  • Ingredient milling or grain storage operations that stop before cereal-forming and finishing, where primary activity is dry grain processing or storage rather than packaged cereal production.
What solicitation language points to NAICS 311230?
  • Statement of work specifies cereal-forming processes such as extrusion, flaking, puffing, or shredding and requests line-speed throughput targets and first-article samples.
  • Deliverables require lot-level ingredient traceability, finished-product moisture and shelf-life test reports, and packaging in specified consumer or bulk sizes.
  • Evaluation requires past performance on commercial cereal lines, HACCP or equivalent food safety plans for ready-to-eat cereals, and allergen-control procedures for grain processing.
