The NAICS code 212399 covers All Other Nonmetallic Mineral Mining, which encompasses mining and extraction activities for non-metallic minerals beyond traditional categories. This classification includes operations that extract and process various mineral materials such as aggregate, gravel, sand, and other similar construction-related geological resources. The sector focuses on sourcing raw materials essential for infrastructure, construction, and maintenance projects across various industries and government agencies.
The federal contract awards within this NAICS code primarily involve the Department of Veterans Affairs National Cemetery Administration (VA NCA), with Gulf Holdings, LLC emerging as a key contractor. The awards are predominantly Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) call orders for aggregate materials, ranging in value from $1,718 to $3,240,000, with performance periods typically spanning 6-12 months. These contracts are often set aside for small businesses, with pricing structured as firm fixed price. The materials supplied support infrastructure maintenance, cemetery operations, and site development, specifically focusing on locations like the Black Hills National Cemetery in Sturgis, South Dakota.
While the provided data does not include specific federal contract opportunities, the existing contract awards suggest potential future solicitations will likely target similar scopes of work. These would include procurement of construction materials such as crushed gravel, aggregate base course, and sand for maintenance and infrastructure support at federal facilities, particularly national cemeteries. The contracts will likely continue to prioritize small business participation and maintain a focus on supporting federal agency operational needs through strategic material procurement.
