Unlaminated Plastics Profile Shape Manufacturing

NAICS Category 326121, Unlaminated Plastics Profile Shape Manufacturing, encompasses the production of plastics components and profiles that are not laminated. These products include various plastic tubing, sections, and custom-shaped components used across multiple industries such as military, aerospace, construction, and cemetery infrastructure. The manufacturing process involves extruding or molding plastic materials into specific shapes and configurations without applying additional laminated layers.

Federal Contract Awards under this NAICS code predominantly feature the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) National Cemetery Administration and the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) as primary purchasers. Polyguard LLC emerges as a key contractor, consistently receiving blanket purchase agreements (BPAs) valued between $5,000 and $250,000 for polyliner and cemetery burial products. These awards typically have performance periods ranging from several months to one year, with most contracts set to complete by June 30, 2024. The awards frequently utilize total small business and service-disabled veteran-owned small business set-aside designations, indicating a focus on supporting smaller manufacturing enterprises.

Recent federal contract opportunities seek nonmetallic tubing and battery retainers, primarily from the Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime and DLA Troop Support. These solicitations request varied quantities ranging from 1 to 260 units, with delivery timelines extending 60 to 353 days after order placement. The opportunities are predominantly set aside for small businesses, specifically targeting manufacturers under NAICS 326121. Delivery locations include distribution depots in Oklahoma, San Joaquin, and other DLA distribution centers, reflecting a nationwide procurement strategy for plastic profile and tubing components.
