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.
