FAQ

What work fits NAICS 238310?
  • Install Type X fire-rated gypsum assemblies in corridors and shaft walls to achieve specified hourly fire-ratings, including required joint treatment and penetration sealing.
  • Replace damaged interior gypsum board and finish surfaces to match existing texture, performing taping, sanding, and delivering paint-ready surfaces.
  • Install batt, blown-in, or rigid board insulation in walls and ceilings to specified R-values, provide manufacturer certification and installation reports.
  • Construct and install suspended acoustic ceiling grid systems with acoustical panels, seismic hangers, perimeter trim, and required load-bearing details.
When is NAICS 238310 a weak fit?
  • Exterior cladding or siding installation: work on exterior facade systems, rainscreens, or exterior insulation and finish systems is outside the interior drywall and insulation scope.
  • Insulation manufacturing: producing insulation batts, boards, or foam products in a factory is manufacturing activity distinct from on-site installation.
  • Specialty sprayed fireproofing or intumescent coating application requiring structural fireproofing certification: these specialized coatings are procured and certified under separate scopes from standard drywall installation.
What solicitation language points to NAICS 238310?
  • Scope specifies gypsum type and thickness (for example Type X), joint treatment level (Level 3/4/5), required mock-up, and sanding or finishing acceptance criteria.
  • Contract requires R-value documentation, manufacturer installation instructions, batch numbers for insulation materials, and coordination details for vapor barriers and air-sealing.
  • Payment milestones are tied to completed and inspected drywall areas by square footage with acceptance criteria for smoothness, finishing defects, and approved repairs of penetrations.
