Plastics Packaging Film and Sheet (including Laminated) Manufacturing

The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code 326112 encompasses Plastics Packaging Film and Sheet Manufacturing, which includes the production of laminated plastic sheets and films. This category focuses on manufacturing plastic packaging materials used across various industries, including protective, shrink, and specialized laminated sheets. Products typically range from thin, flexible films to rigid sheets with specific technical characteristics such as flame retardancy, precise thickness, and specialized surface treatments.

Federal Contract Awards under this NAICS code demonstrate a consistent pattern of small business set-aside contracts, primarily issued by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) and General Services Administration (GSA). The awards frequently involve National Laminating, Inc., a small business specializing in plastic sheeting production. Contract values range from under $100 to over $5,000, with most awards being Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) call orders. These contracts typically have performance periods extending into early 2025, covering both military and civilian government customer needs. Common specifications include polyethylene terephthalate (PET) or polyethylene terephthalate glycol (PETG) plastic sheets with precise dimensional tolerances, packaging requirements, and specific surface finishes.

Recent Federal Contract Opportunities under this NAICS code demonstrate consistent demand from defense-related agencies for specialized plastic sheeting and packaging materials. Solicitations include requests for flame retardant polypropylene sheets, packaging cushioning materials, and specific plastic films with technical specifications. Key requesting agencies include the Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime, Department of the Army, and Department of Homeland Security. Performance locations are predominantly located in military bases and logistics facilities across states like Hawaii, Pennsylvania, Washington, and Georgia. Most opportunities are designated as total small business set-asides, with evaluation criteria typically focused on technical compliance and lowest price.
