FAQ

What work fits NAICS 115114?
  • Contracted grain or seed drying services using mobile or plant dryers with moisture reporting, moisture-reduction vouchers, and load-level weight certificates.
  • Cold-storage management for perishable fruits and vegetables offering temperature-controlled storage, inventory rotation, and cold-chain documentation for each lot.
  • Commercial fumigation and pest-control services for stored crops with applicator certificates, fumigant gas-monitoring logs, and aeration procedures prior to release.
  • Mechanical sorting, grading, waxing, and packing of produce to specified grade standards with lot labeling, traceability, and shipping palletization.
When is NAICS 115114 a weak fit?
  • Cotton ginning operations where the key missing element is lint separation and ginning equipment; those activities fall under cotton-specific processing rather than general postharvest crop services.
  • Food processing plants performing canning, freezing, or value-added manufacturing where the primary work is transforming crops into packaged foods rather than postharvest handling and storage.
  • Bulk commodity transportation or third-party logistics where the main service is freight movement rather than on-site drying, fumigation, grading, or storage of harvested crops.
What solicitation language points to NAICS 115114?
  • Contract performance metrics that require per-lot moisture reports, temperature logs, fumigation certificates, and chain-of-custody manifests for stored crops.
  • Line items specifying controlled-atmosphere storage volumes, palletized packing counts by grade, and acceptance inspections tied to grade standards.
  • Evaluation criteria requesting previous experience with postharvest equipment operation, mobile drying deployments, fumigant applicator certifications, and inventory rotation protocols.
