NAICS 325312 - Phosphatic Fertilizer Manufacturing encompasses the production and supply of specialized fertilizer products, focusing primarily on phosphate-based chemical compounds used in agricultural and horticultural applications. These products include granular and liquid fertilizers with varying phosphorus, nitrogen, and potassium ratios, such as Triple Super Phosphate (0-46-0), liquid fertilizers (28-0-5-1.89S), and other phosphatic chemical treatments. The category supports agricultural operations across multiple sectors, including government facilities, seed orchards, nurseries, and correctional institution farming programs.

The Federal Contract Awards demonstrate a consistent pattern of purchase orders for fertilizer products, typically ranging from $10,000 to $42,000 per contract, with durations spanning one to three months. Key purchasing agencies include the Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons, U.S. Forest Service, and various national nursery and seed orchard operations. Contractors like J.R. Simplot Company frequently appear as suppliers, with most contracts being firm fixed-price purchase orders. Approximately 25% of the awards were designated as total small business set-asides, while the remainder had no specific set-aside. Performance locations primarily included states like Idaho, South Carolina, and California, indicating a geographically distributed procurement approach.
