FAQ

What work fits NAICS 325211?
  • Production and packaging of polyethylene or polypropylene resin pellets meeting specified melt flow index, density, and contaminant limits supplied in bulk bags or tote containers.
  • Compounding engineering thermoplastics with fillers, flame retardants, or impact modifiers and supplying processed pellets with certificates of analysis for molding or extrusion use.
  • Toll polymerization and pelletizing services producing a customer-specified resin grade under a supplied formulation and returning finished resin batches with lot traceability.
  • Manufacture of liquid thermoset resin systems such as epoxy or phenolic resins supplied in measured kits with documented viscosity, cure schedule, and shelf-life data.
When is NAICS 325211 a weak fit?
  • Plastic product molding and fabrication where the primary activity is producing finished parts and assemblies rather than manufacturing resin feedstock and polymer batches.
  • Wholesale distribution or brokerage of third-party resins where the contractor only purchases, inventories, and resells products without in-house polymerization, compounding, or pelletizing capability.
  • Synthetic rubber or rubber compound manufacturing where the chemistry and end-product elastic properties place the work in rubber product manufacturing rather than plastics resin production.
What solicitation language points to NAICS 325211?
  • Specifications list resin physical properties such as melt flow index, intrinsic viscosity, molecular weight distribution, density, and require batch certificates of analysis.
  • RFP requests production capacity by reactor volume, extruder and pelletizer throughput, devolatilization and solvent recovery capability, and packaging line specifications.
  • Evaluation criteria call for demonstrated in-house polymerization experience, compounding capability with additive handling, QC procedures for resin lot traceability, and relevant process safety controls.
