Laminated Plastics Plate, Sheet (except Packaging), and Shape Manufacturing

The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code 326130 encompasses Laminated Plastics Plate, Sheet (except Packaging), and Shape Manufacturing, which involves the production of specialized plastic materials and components. This sector produces a diverse range of plastic sheets, panels, and fabricated shapes used across multiple industries including government, defense, marine, correctional, and manufacturing applications. These products include reflective sheeting, vinyl materials, plastic sheets, laminates, seam tapes, and specialized plastic components designed for specific technical or operational requirements.

Federal contract awards under this NAICS code predominantly feature firm fixed-price purchase orders and delivery orders from agencies like the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA), Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA), and the Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons. Typical contract values range from a few hundred dollars to over $23 million, with performance periods spanning weeks to years. Frequently awarded entities include 3M Company, Laird Plastics Inc., Orafol Americas Inc., and smaller businesses like Curbell Plastics, Inc. and A.m.s. Network, LLC. Most awards are not set aside for small businesses, though some contracts do utilize total small business or woman-owned small business set-asides. Performance locations are primarily distributed across the United States, with significant concentrations in military bases, correctional facilities, and logistics distribution centers.

Recent federal contract opportunities focus on solicitations for plastic sheets, laminates, and related materials, primarily issued by the Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Construction and Equipment. These opportunities typically request specific quantities of plastic sheets with National Stock Numbers, to be delivered to various DLA distribution centers including San Diego, Puget Sound, and other locations. Most solicitations are Request for Quotation (RFQ) style, with quantities ranging from 3 to 350 units and delivery timelines between 26 and 167 days. Some opportunities are set aside for total small businesses, while others are open to all responsible sources. The Product Service Code consistently used is 93-P for Nonmetallic Fabricated Materials, and the procurement processes emphasize electronic submission and compliance with military specifications.
