What this NAICS covers

NAICS 313230 covers manufacturing nonwoven fabrics by bonding or interlocking fibers using chemical, mechanical, thermal, or solvent processes, producing rolls, sheets, and specialized media for filtration, medical, industrial, and hygiene applications.

Federal opportunities under 313230 typically involve producing specification-grade nonwoven rolls for filtration cartridges, medical barrier fabrics meeting sterilization requirements, acoustic insulation panels, or disposable hygiene components delivered with lot traceability and material test reports.

FAQ

What work fits NAICS 313230?
  • Producing filtration media rolls with specified basis weight, porosity, and tensile properties for use in cartridge or panel filters.
  • Manufacturing medical-grade barrier fabrics intended for sterilizable surgical drapes, gowns, or sterile packaging that require lot-level sterilization validation support.
  • Supplying spunbond or meltblown nonwoven substrates for disposable wipes and hygiene components delivered with particle shedding and lint specifications.
  • Producing acoustic nonwoven panels or insulation batts with defined thickness, density, and sound-absorption characteristics for interior assemblies.
When is NAICS 313230 a weak fit?
  • Woven or knitted textile manufacturing: produces interlaced yarn fabrics rather than bonded nonwovens, so the bonding processes and nonwoven material properties are absent.
  • Finished-product assembly (for example, assembling filtration cartridges): joins nonwoven media into consumer or equipment assemblies but does not include primary nonwoven fabric production.
  • Natural fiber farming or fiber production: supplies raw fiber but does not perform bonding, web formation, or conversion into nonwoven fabric rolls required by this NAICS.
What solicitation language points to NAICS 313230?
  • Material specifications enumerate basis weight, air permeability, hydrostatic head, and tensile strength with required material test reports per lot.
  • Procurement requests roll widths, core sizes, and slit/rewind tolerances plus traceable lot coding and incoming inspection criteria.
  • Scope includes sterilization compatibility or sterilization validation references and requires vendor-supplied sterilization-batch correlation data or pre-shipment microbial testing.
