NAICS 111110 (Soybean Farming) encompasses agricultural operations focused on cultivating soybeans for various purposes, including seed production, crop research, and agricultural commodity development. This classification covers farming activities that involve planting, growing, harvesting, and processing soybeans, ranging from commercial agricultural production to specialized research-oriented cultivation. Soybean farming operations can include activities such as seed development, crop management, soil preparation, and harvesting techniques specific to soybean production.

The federal contract opportunities and awards in this NAICS category primarily involve the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), specifically the Agricultural Research Service (ARS). Solicitations are consistently set aside for small businesses with a size standard of $2.25-2.5 million. The contract opportunities typically focus on specialized seed production, germplasm research, and agricultural commodity procurement. Typical contract values range from small purchases of agricultural products (such as 350-450 tons of soybean meal or hulls) to research-oriented seed increase projects involving tropical soybean germplasm. Places of performance are predominantly located in agricultural research facilities, with specific locations including Clay Center, Nebraska and Urbana, Illinois.

Recent federal contract opportunities under this NAICS code include a USDA-ARS solicitation for seed increase of tropical soybean germplasm accessions in Costa Rica, involving 800 plot rows of seed production with specific maturity group requirements. Another opportunity sought 450 tons of soybean meal and 350 tons of soybean hulls for delivery to the USDA Plains Area facility. A third opportunity requested corn and soybean seeds for research purposes, with approximately 1,253 bags of corn seed and 600 units of soybean seed to be delivered by April 1, 2025. These opportunities demonstrate a focus on agricultural research, seed production, and specialized agricultural commodity procurement.
