FAQ

What work fits NAICS 212322?
  • Operate open-pit extraction of industrial sand including drilling, blasting, loading, and haulage to on-site processing facilities.
  • Run washing, screening, and sizing plants to produce specified mesh gradations and provide certified particle size distribution reports.
  • Manage drying, blending, bulk packaging, and rail or truck loading operations to deliver contracted tonnage to designated delivery points.
  • Provide stockpile management, routine sampling, and laboratory testing for silica content, moisture, and gradation as part of material acceptance.
When is NAICS 212322 a weak fit?
  • Construction sand and gravel supply focused on aggregate for concrete, road base, or landscaping where material specifications and extraction practices differ from industrial sand requirements.
  • Manufacture of silica-based chemicals or glass where processing moves into chemical conversion and product manufacturing rather than primary extraction and sizing of sand.
  • Reclamation or recycling services that recover used sand from foundry or blasting operations rather than performing primary extraction and initial processing of raw industrial sand.
What solicitation language points to NAICS 212322?
  • Specifications that list required particle size distributions, maximum fines percentage, and maximum impurity levels with required certified lab test reports.
  • Contract line items stating tonnage by delivery method (rail carloads, truck loads), delivery windows, and instructions for stockpile handling at delivery yards.
  • Performance requirements that call for contractor-operated washing and screening plants, dust-control plans, certified material testing protocols, and documented quality control records.
