NAICS code 212114 for Surface Coal Mining encompasses the extraction and processing of coal from surface mining operations. The category involves the removal of coal from open-pit or strip mining sites, focusing primarily on sub-bituminous and bituminous coal varieties. Products from this classification are typically used for power generation, heating systems, and industrial applications, with a significant focus on supplying coal to military installations and government facilities.

Federal Contract Awards in this category predominantly feature delivery orders from the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) and various military branches, particularly the Air Force. Usibelli Coal Mine, Inc. emerges as a key contractor, securing multiple contracts valued between $5,955,000 and $22,066,200 for coal deliveries to military bases in Alaska, such as Eielson Air Force Base and Fort Wainwright. These awards are consistently structured as firm fixed-price delivery orders with no set-aside designations, and typically have performance periods ranging from several months to a year. The contracts principally support heating and power generation requirements for military installations.

Recent Federal Contract Opportunities include solicitations from the National Park Service and Department of Air Force Global Strike Command, seeking specific quantities of bituminous coal for various applications. The opportunities are predominantly set aside for small businesses and require detailed technical specifications, such as specific coal qualities, delivery windows, and base access requirements. The Steamtown National Historic Site solicitation seeks coal for historic railroad operations, while the Malmstrom Air Force Base opportunity requests 1,000 tons of bituminous stoker coal with precise screening and dust suppression specifications. Both opportunities emphasize rigorous vendor qualifications, including System for Award Management registration and compliance with detailed technical requirements.
