FAQ

What work fits NAICS 311942?
  • Contract manufacture of shelf-stable spice blends and seasoning packets packaged to specified net weights with lot coding and date stamps.
  • Produce food-grade liquid extracts and flavor concentrates (for example vanilla or citrus extracts) formulated to defined concentrations and solvent specifications.
  • Drying, grinding, and milling botanical raw materials into specified particle size distributions and packaging in retail or bulk containers with tamper-evident seals.
  • Provide batch-level quality testing and certificates of analysis documenting moisture content, microbial results (e.g., aerobic plate count, Salmonella absence), and ingredient listing for each lot.
When is NAICS 311942 a weak fit?
  • Prepared meal or ready-to-eat food manufacturing: missing final meal assembly and thermal processing; spice manufacturing focuses on dry blends and extracts rather than complete meals.
  • Fragrance or essential oil production for non-food use: missing food-grade formulation, labeling, and packaging required for edible spices and extracts.
  • Wholesale distribution of raw herbs and spices without processing: missing blending, grinding, extract production, and packaged food-grade final products.
What solicitation language points to NAICS 311942?
  • Requirement for certificates of analysis per lot showing moisture content and specified microbial test results.
  • Specifications calling for food-grade packaging, net-weight labeling, shelf-life statements, and allergen declarations on product labels.
  • Facility qualifications such as HACCP plan, documented preventive controls, and records of routine production lot traceability.
