Brick, Stone, and Related Construction Material Merchant Wholesalers

The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code 423320 for Brick, Stone, and Related Construction Material Merchant Wholesalers encompasses businesses primarily engaged in the wholesale distribution of construction materials such as bricks, stones, concrete blocks, tiles, gravel, aggregate, and related building supplies. These merchant wholesalers serve as critical intermediaries between manufacturers and construction, infrastructure, and renovation projects, supplying essential raw and processed materials for building and infrastructure development. The category includes firms that procure, warehouse, and distribute construction materials to contractors, government agencies, and other commercial entities.

Federal contract awards under this NAICS code demonstrate a diverse range of procurement activities, predominantly involving U.S. military branches like the Air Force and Department of State agencies such as the Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs. Contract values range from approximately $10,000 to $1.4 million, with typical performance periods spanning several months to a year. Frequently awarded entities include international firms like Areaka Trading & Logistics Company, Bromgrove Limited, and Dou'A Al Kuwait EST, often supporting overseas military installations and diplomatic facilities. Most awards are firm fixed-price contracts with no specific set-aside designations, indicating full and open competition. Performance locations are global, with significant activity in regions like Jordan, Kuwait, the United Kingdom, and various diplomatic mission locations.

Recent federal contract opportunities within this NAICS code primarily focus on construction material procurement for specific projects and regions. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Kennedy Space Center has issued a sources sought notice for crawlerway rock, while the Department of State's International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs office has posted multiple solicitations for construction materials in Colombia. These opportunities typically request comprehensive material supply, including items like cement, sand, gravel, wire mesh, steel beams, roofing materials, and PVC components. The solicitations generally require vendors to be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) and comply with specific technical requirements, with delivery locations ranging from international diplomatic facilities to U.S. government sites.
