All Other Basic Organic Chemical Manufacturing

The NAICS 325199 category, "All Other Basic Organic Chemical Manufacturing," encompasses the production of specialized organic chemical compounds not classified in more specific manufacturing categories. This broad category includes the development and manufacture of diverse chemical substances used across numerous industrial, research, scientific, and governmental applications. These chemicals range from preservatives and reagents to hydraulic fluids, solvents, and specialized analytical standards. The products are critical for supporting research, manufacturing processes, maintenance operations, and technical infrastructure across multiple sectors.

Federal contract awards in this category demonstrate significant diversity, with contract values ranging from under $1,000 to nearly $1 million. Frequently awarded entities include Life Technologies Corporation, Miles Ahead Distribution, Biosearch Technologies, and various small business manufacturers specializing in chemical production. The Department of Defense, particularly Naval Supply Systems Command, and civilian agencies like the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and NASA are prominent funding sources. Many awards utilize small business set-aside designations, particularly total small business and service-disabled veteran-owned small business categories. Common places of performance include research facilities, manufacturing sites in states like California, Texas, and Maryland, and military installations across the United States.

Recent federal contract opportunities within this NAICS code focus on procuring specialized chemicals for diverse applications. These include propylene glycol for boiler systems, PCR kit reagents for biothreat detection, elemental melt stock materials for scientific research, hydraulic fluids for munitions production, and chemical standards for laboratory analysis. Federal agencies posting these opportunities include the Department of Agriculture, Department of Defense, Department of Energy, and Department of Health and Human Services. Performance locations span military bases, research centers, and manufacturing facilities nationwide. The opportunities consistently emphasize technical specifications, quality control, and precise chemical composition requirements.
