Ready-Mix Concrete Manufacturing

NAICS Category 327320 - Ready-Mix Concrete Manufacturing encompasses the production and delivery of premixed concrete for construction and infrastructure projects. This category involves manufacturing concrete by combining cement, aggregates, water, and potentially additives to create a uniform mixture that can be transported and poured at construction sites. The concrete can vary in strength, aggregate size, air content, and other specifications to meet specific project requirements across multiple sectors including military, federal land management, transportation, and infrastructure development.

Federal Contract Awards within this category predominantly feature concrete delivery to Department of Defense facilities, particularly the Joint Munitions Command in McAlester, Oklahoma. Typical contract values range from $100 to $30,000, with most being firm fixed-price purchase orders or blanket purchase agreements (BPAs). Twin Cities Ready Mix, Inc. and Dolese Bros Co are frequently awarded contractors, with most contracts supporting infrastructure maintenance, facility upgrades, and construction projects. The majority of awards do not utilize small business set-asides, though some are exclusively reserved for small businesses. Common funding agencies include the Department of Defense, Army Corps of Engineers, and Department of the Interior bureaus, with performance locations primarily in military bases, national recreation areas, and federal facilities across the United States.

Recent federal contract opportunities focus on concrete supply for diverse projects including military base infrastructure, national forest restoration, lock and dam maintenance, and recreational area improvements. Solicitations typically request specific concrete mixtures with precise technical specifications such as compressive strength (ranging from 3,000 to 4,500 PSI), aggregate size, and air content. Most opportunities are set aside for small businesses and are issued by agencies like the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Department of Agriculture Forest Service, Bureau of Land Management, and Department of State. Performance locations include sites in New Mexico, Illinois, Oklahoma, and international locations like Serbia, with delivery quantities ranging from 80 to 1,400 cubic yards of concrete.
