FAQ

What work fits NAICS 311941?
  • Produce shelf-stable bulk mayonnaise in specified container sizes with documented shelf-life and lot traceability for institutional feeding programs.
  • Manufacture single-serve salad dressing or condiment packets with barrier film packaging and portion control per packaging specifications.
  • Formulate and produce reduced-sodium or allergen-free dressing recipes to meet nutritional targets and label claims, with compositional certificates.
  • Scale and package custom emulsion sauces to buyer-furnished formulas or supplied specifications, delivering finished goods with batch records and QA documentation.
When is NAICS 311941 a weak fit?
  • Food service and catering contracts: on-site meal preparation where sauces are produced in kitchens rather than through factory-scale formulation and packaging processes.
  • Food wholesale and distribution: purchasing, warehousing, and shipping finished sauce products without performing formulation, mixing, or industrial-scale manufacturing.
  • Food product research and laboratory formulation services: bench-scale R&D or sensory testing without scaling to commercial production lines, production equipment, or packaging operations.
What solicitation language points to NAICS 311941?
  • Specifications list product formulations, emulsion stability targets, water activity, required shelf life, and acceptable packaging sizes.
  • Contract requires HACCP or equivalent food safety plan, lot coding, batch records, and third-party food safety audit documentation.
  • Deliverables call for finished, packaged units with labeling compliance, allergen declarations, and certificate of analysis for each production lot.
