Plastics Plumbing Fixture Manufacturing

NAICS 326191 - Plastics Plumbing Fixture Manufacturing encompasses the production of plumbing fixtures, components, and related equipment made primarily from plastics materials. The category includes manufacturing of marine toilets, water closets, flush valves, faucets, drain components, water mixing valves, and other specialized plumbing infrastructure. These products are typically designed for maritime, military, civilian government facilities, and disaster recovery applications, with a focus on specialized, high-performance plumbing solutions.

The federal contract awards for this NAICS code reveal a consistent pattern of procurement by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA), particularly its Troop Support Construction and Equipment division. Most awards range from $1,500 to $100,000, with contract durations typically spanning 3-12 months. Frequently awarded vendors include Evac North America Inc., Kampi Components Co Inc., and Bestweld Inc., with many being small businesses or minority-owned enterprises. The awards predominantly support maritime and military infrastructure, with delivery locations including various DLA distribution centers and military facilities. Set-aside designations frequently include total small business and service-disabled veteran-owned small business categories.

Recent federal contract opportunities maintain a similar scope, with solicitations primarily issued by the Defense Logistics Agency and Federal Emergency Management Agency. The opportunities consistently seek specific plumbing components such as water closets, marine toilets, valve assemblies, and specialized equipment like cold plunge units. Most solicitations are small business set-asides, require electronic quote submissions, and have delivery timelines ranging from 30-170 days after order. Typical performance locations include DLA distribution centers in San Joaquin and Warner Robins, with quantities ranging from 11-257 units per procurement.
