FAQ

What work fits NAICS 311224?
  • Operate a crushing line and solvent extraction plant to produce crude soybean oil and press cake for downstream refining.
  • Refine and treat crude oil through degumming, neutralization, bleaching, and deodorization to meet edible oil specifications and produce refined vegetable oil.
  • Produce and dry protein-rich oilseed meal, screen and bulk-package feed-grade meal with documented moisture and nutritional analysis.
  • Provide on-site laboratory testing, certificate of analysis generation, and commodity sampling for each bulk shipment of oil and meal.
When is NAICS 311224 a weak fit?
  • Oilseed farming and harvesting: planting and harvesting raw soybeans on farms are agricultural production activities outside the processing and refining scope.
  • Food product manufacturing using oil ingredients: producing finished consumer foods or formulated products using vegetable oil requires food product manufacturing capabilities distinct from oilseed processing.
  • Mechanical installation and plant maintenance contracts: installing, repairing, or maintaining processing equipment is an equipment service function separate from operating the processing and refining production.
What solicitation language points to NAICS 311224?
  • CLINs specifying tonnage of crude oil and metric tons of oilseed meal to be delivered with required certificates of analysis for fat, moisture, and protein.
  • Requirements for solvent extraction capacity, refining throughput rates, and specified refining steps such as degumming and deodorization in the statement of work.
  • Mandatory food or feed safety documentation, laboratory testing protocols, and product labeling or bulk packaging specifications tied to each delivery.
