What this NAICS covers

NAICS 325130 covers manufacturing synthetic dyes, organic and inorganic pigments, pigment dispersions, and colorant intermediates through chemical synthesis, blending, milling, and finishing operations for formulation into colorants or pigment concentrates supplied to industrial or product manufacturers.

Federal opportunities under 325130 typically involve producing certified dye and pigment batches to government technical specifications, providing batch test reports, material safety data sheets, packaging for distribution, and meeting quality control and traceability requirements for contract deliveries.

FAQ

What work fits NAICS 325130?
  • Batch manufacture of organic pigment powders and dispersions matched to a contract color standard with associated certificate of analysis and pigment grind specifications.
  • Synthesis and scale-up of intermediate dye compounds followed by purification and delivery of finished dye lots with stability testing and MSDS documentation.
  • Production of inorganic pigments and surface-treated pigment concentrates for use in coatings, plastics, or printing ink procurement under specification-based orders.
  • Custom pigment milling and formulation services to achieve specified particle size distributions, viscosity, and color strength for technical procurement requirements.
When is NAICS 325130 a weak fit?
  • Coating and paint manufacturing (325510) where the contract requires finished paint formulations and application performance testing rather than supplying pigments or dye intermediates.
  • Printing ink manufacturing (325910) where work centers on finished ink formulation and ink performance certification rather than raw pigment or dye production and supply.
  • Chemical distribution and repackaging where the contractor only purchases and repackages pigments without performing in-house chemical synthesis, milling, or finishing operations.
What solicitation language points to NAICS 325130?
  • Scope requires color matching to a specified standard, spectrophotometric acceptance criteria, and submission of color fastness or stability data.
  • Contract deliverables list certificate of analysis, lot-level material safety data sheets, and batch traceability documentation with retention periods.
  • Performance requirements demand particle size distribution data, viscosity/grind test results, and documented quality control procedures for each pigment lot.
