FAQ

What work fits NAICS 325611?
  • Batch manufacture of liquid hand soap or bulk hand-cleaning concentrates to specified formulation and odor profiles filled into contract-labeled containers with batch testing.
  • Production of powdered laundry detergent blends with measured active ingredients, drying or agglomeration steps, and packaged unit-dose or bulk bags.
  • Bar soap saponification and pressing lines producing molded bars, stamping, curing, and packaged consumer units meeting labeling and safety communication requirements.

  • Specialty chemical manufacturing outside detergent formulations - manufacture of adhesives, lubricants, or solvents with chemistries and regulatory profiles different from soaps and detergents.
  • Cosmetic or personal care product manufacturing - formulations for leave-on skin care, fragrances, or makeup that require different regulatory labeling and production controls than soaps and detergents.
What solicitation language points to NAICS 325611?
  • Specifications listing formulation targets, surfactant types and concentrations, pH range, preservative requirements, and approved test methods for percent actives and stability.
  • Deliverables requiring batch-level certificates of analysis, retention samples, safety data sheets, and lot traceability for filled containers.
  • Packaging and labeling requirements such as tamper-evident seals, unit-dose counts, and contract-specific product marking and serialization.
