FAQ
What work fits NAICS 111920?
- Plant and cultivate cotton across contracted acreage, performing seeding, fertilization, and in-field crop protection to meet contracted yield and fiber quality targets.
- Operate and maintain mechanical harvesters, module builders, and bale preparation equipment to collect and deliver bales that meet specified weight and moisture requirements.
- Provide irrigation scheduling, water application, and associated records to achieve soil moisture targets and contracted agronomic specifications.

- Agricultural equipment sales and repair (441) when the scope is for equipment purchase, parts supply, or maintenance rather than performing cotton planting, cultivation, and harvest operations.
What solicitation language points to NAICS 111920?
- Performance metrics list acres planted, harvested bale counts or tonnage, and minimum fiber quality thresholds such as micronaire and staple length.
- SOW requires certified pesticide applicator labor categories, irrigation logs, nutrient application records, and field operation diaries tied to payment milestones.
- Delivery terms specify bale moisture limits, bale tagging with lot identifiers, accepted tare weight procedures, and required laboratory quality certificates.
