NAICS 312112 (Bottled Water Manufacturing) encompasses the production, packaging, and distribution of various sizes and types of bottled water products. This category includes manufacturers who process and bottle natural spring, purified, mineral, artesian, and other forms of drinking water for commercial and institutional markets. Bottled water products range from small single-serving containers to large multi-gallon bottles designed for water coolers and dispensers, serving diverse consumer and organizational needs.

Federal contract awards in this NAICS category predominantly involve water delivery services for government agencies, particularly military installations, federal medical centers, and diplomatic facilities. Sherrill Manufacturing, a small disadvantaged business and the last remaining domestic flatware manufacturer, has been awarded multiple Blanket Purchase Agreements (BPAs) through the General Services Administration (GSA) Multiple Award Schedule (MAS) program. These contracts typically range from a few hundred to several thousand dollars, with base periods of 12 months and options for additional years. Awards are frequently made to small businesses and are not typically set aside for specific business categories, though some opportunities target women-owned or small businesses.

Recent federal contract opportunities demonstrate diverse requirements across government agencies, including the Department of Veterans Affairs, Department of Homeland Security, Department of State, and Department of Energy. These opportunities seek bottled water delivery services for locations including military border patrol sectors, embassy facilities, medical centers, and research laboratories. Solicitations commonly request water delivery in various bottle sizes (0.35L to 19L), water cooler rental and maintenance, and often include specific requirements such as quarterly cleaning, backup equipment, and delivery frequency. Most opportunities are conducted through competitive reverse auctions or Request for Quotation (RFQ) processes, with performance locations spanning multiple states and international locations like Vietnam.
