FAQ

What work fits NAICS 311612?
  • Fabricate carcass halves into specified primal and subprimal cuts with portioning, trimming to weight tolerances, labeling, and palletized chilled shipment.
  • Perform vacuum-packaging or modified-atmosphere packaging for chilled primal cuts with lot coding, shelf-life labeling, and cold-chain handoff documentation.
  • Operate portion-control lines to produce uniform steaks, portioned roasts, or ground-meat batching with documented yield reporting and batch lot traceability.
  • Process trim and lean/fat separation to produce ground products at specified fat percentages, provide batch certificates, and maintain cold-storage rotation records.
When is NAICS 311612 a weak fit?
  • Livestock slaughtering/abattoir operations: facilities that perform live-animal slaughter and initial dressing before carcass fabrication are classified under slaughtering rather than carcass-only processing.
  • Retail butcher shops and storefront meat cutters: small-scale retail operations that serve walk-in customers and lack industrial boning lines, vacuum packaging, and palletized chilled output.
  • Meat wholesaling and distribution: entities that store, broker, or transport prepackaged meat without performing carcass fabrication, trimming, or repackaging operations.
What solicitation language points to NAICS 311612?
  • Requirement for a documented HACCP plan and daily sanitation schedule for the processing plant with written corrective-action records.
  • Specifications for pack weights, yield tolerances, labeling requirements, and shelf-life expectations tied to lot codes and traceability records.
  • Cold-chain monitoring requirements including continuous temperature logs, refrigerated transport handoff records, and delivery documentation tied to production lot identifiers.
