Distilleries

NAICS 312140 (Distilleries) represents a category focused on the production and procurement of water distillation equipment, alcoholic beverages, and related supplies for U.S. government agencies. The federal contract awards and opportunities primarily involve the Department of State's procurement of water distillers, water filtration systems, and occasionally alcoholic beverages for diplomatic missions and residences worldwide. These purchases support international operations, embassy infrastructure, and diplomatic hospitality requirements.

The federal contract awards demonstrate a consistent pattern of purchase orders ranging from $11,000 to $142,007, predominantly issued by the Department of State's various regional bureaus, including Western Hemisphere Affairs, Near Eastern Affairs, and African Affairs. Frequently awarded vendors include Durastill Export, Inc., R O I C General Trading L.L.C., and Export 220Volt Inc., with many being woman-owned or minority-owned small businesses. The contracts are typically firm fixed-price purchase orders with performance periods between six to twelve months, focusing on water distillation equipment for diplomatic residences and facilities in locations such as Las Vegas, Melbourne, Mexico, and various international posts. No set-aside designations were consistently applied across these awards.
