NAICS 326160 (Plastics Bottle Manufacturing) encompasses the production of various plastic bottles and containers for scientific, military, medical, and logistical applications. This category includes manufacturers specializing in creating high-density polyethylene bottles, screw-cap containers, sample bottles, water bottles, and specialized packaging solutions. The products range from small laboratory specimen containers to large 5-gallon industrial bottles, serving diverse federal agency requirements.

Recent federal contract awards in this category demonstrate significant activity across multiple agencies, with typical contract values ranging from $1,000 to $350,000. The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) emerges as the most frequent contracting authority, consistently awarding purchase orders to companies like Scientific Specialties Service Inc., Pacific Star Corporation, and Martin Military Inc. Many awards are firm fixed-price purchase orders with completion dates within 3-12 months. While most contracts are not set aside, a notable portion (approximately 20%) are designated for small businesses, veteran-owned, or minority-owned enterprises. Frequent performance locations include Maryland, Texas, New York, and other states with established manufacturing capabilities.

Federal contract opportunities in this NAICS code reflect precise technical requirements for plastic bottle manufacturing. The Naval Supply Systems Command (NAVSUP) has recently posted solicitations seeking specific bottle designs, such as 5-gallon poly bottles and 4-oz containers with exact dimensional specifications. These opportunities frequently mandate compliance with military standards like MIL-STD-2073 for packaging and MIL-STD-130 for marking. Contractors must provide certificates of compliance, maintain detailed quality assurance records, and meet stringent configuration control processes. The opportunities typically require 90-day delivery timelines and target small businesses within the plastics manufacturing sector.
