FAQ

What work fits NAICS 221112?
  • Operations and maintenance contract for a fossil-fuel fired generating unit including shift staffing, control room operations, and outage planning.
  • Fuel handling and inventory management for coal or oil stockpiles, including sampling, quality control, and conveyor or transfer equipment maintenance.
  • Performance-based maintenance for steam or gas turbine generators covering predictive monitoring, lubrication systems, and rotor inspection reporting.
  • Support contract for emissions monitoring and compliance reporting including continuous emissions monitoring system calibration and permit-required reporting.
When is NAICS 221112 a weak fit?
  • Renewable generation projects such as utility-scale solar or wind where combustion, fuel procurement, and onsite fuel handling are absent.
  • Transmission and distribution procurements focused on grid infrastructure where the primary scope is conductors, substations, and line maintenance rather than generation unit operation.
  • Heavy civil power plant construction contracts that emphasize structural, boiler, or turbine installation work and lack long-term plant operations, fuel management, or generator performance obligations.
What solicitation language points to NAICS 221112?
  • Labor categories listing plant operators, control room operators, shift supervisors, turbine technicians, and boiler operators.
  • Deliverables requiring fuel handling plans, hourly generation logs, heat-rate performance reports, and emissions compliance certificates.
  • Performance requirements specifying plant availability or forced outage limits, emissions monitoring and reporting, and adherence to fuel storage and handling safety standards.
