FAQ

What work fits NAICS 311821?
  • High-volume production and case packaging of ready-to-ship cookies or crackers that meet government formulation and nutrition specifications.
  • Contract co-packing runs producing individually wrapped shelf-stable snack packs for inclusion in meal kits or field rations with lot tracking and metal-detection records.
  • Manufacture of fortified or reduced-sugar cookie or cracker SKUs that require lab-tested nutrition labels and documented shelf-life stability.
  • Pilot and scale-up baking runs for new biscuit formulations including production records, quality control sampling, and finished-product acceptance testing.
When is NAICS 311821 a weak fit?
  • Retail bakery or made-to-order pastry operations that bake to customer order and sell directly to consumers rather than producing packaged goods for distribution.
  • Tortilla or flatbread manufacturing where processes, equipment, and product specifications differ from cookie and cracker baking and categorization falls under a different product class.
  • Distribution, warehousing, or fulfillment contracts that handle storage and shipment of baked goods without performing dough mixing, baking, or primary packaging operations.
What solicitation language points to NAICS 311821?
  • Solicitation specifies finished product counts per case, packaging configuration, lot coding, and acceptance sampling plans for delivered cases.
  • Requirement for allergen management plan, laboratory nutrition analysis, shelf-life studies, and documented metal-detector calibration and verification records.
  • Request for baking-line capacity, hourly production rates by SKU, HACCP or equivalent food-safety plan, and lot traceability procedures from ingredient receipt through finished goods.
