The NAICS Category 31211 encompasses Soft Drink and Ice Manufacturing, focusing on the production and distribution of beverage-related products and services. This category includes manufacturers and suppliers of ice, bottled water, soft drinks, and related cooling and hydration solutions. Companies in this sector produce a range of products from packaged ice and bottled water to commercial water dispensers and delivery services for various institutional and government customers.

Federal Contract Awards in this category demonstrate consistent demand from military, veterans' health, and federal agency procurement teams. Typical contract values range from approximately $25,000 to $250,000, with performance periods spanning one to three years. The Department of Defense, Department of Veterans Affairs, and Department of Homeland Security frequently issue solicitations, often utilizing small business set-asides, particularly for women-owned and total small business designations. Common places of performance include military bases, federal facilities, and medical centers across the Continental United States, with delivery locations spanning California, New Jersey, Arizona, and other states.

Recent Federal Contract Opportunities show diverse requirements including bulk ice purchases for military training, bottled water delivery services for embassy and government facilities, and water dispenser rentals for federal installations. Specific solicitations include the Department of the Army's ice procurement for field training, the Department of Veterans Affairs' water delivery services for medical centers, and the Department of Homeland Security's bottled water requirements for border patrol sectors. These opportunities consistently emphasize precise delivery specifications, product quality standards, and the need for vendors to be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM).
