Beer and Ale Merchant Wholesalers

NAICS code 424810 represents Beer and Ale Merchant Wholesalers, a classification focused on the wholesale distribution of alcoholic beverages. While the name suggests a primary focus on beer and ale, the limited contract data demonstrates a broader range of product procurement, including alcoholic beverages like whisky and specialized laboratory equipment such as fuel tester pipettes. These wholesale merchant activities support various federal government agencies through targeted product acquisitions.

The federal contract awards in this dataset reveal a pattern of small-scale, short-term purchase orders ranging from approximately $3,787 to $13,526. The Defense Logistics Agency's Medical Supply Chain appears to be a primary contracting agency, with awards predominantly issued as firm-fixed-price purchase orders. Notable awardees include Petrolab, L.L.C. (a subsidiary of Ametek Inc.) and an undisclosed domestic awardee. Contract durations are relatively brief, typically spanning three to four months, with completion dates ranging from June 2023 to January 2025. None of the observed contracts utilized specific set-aside designations, indicating open competition.

The provided data does not include any federal contract opportunities, limiting the ability to comprehensively analyze pending solicitations within this NAICS code. The available contract awards suggest that future opportunities may involve procurements of specialized equipment, laboratory supplies, and potentially alcoholic beverage products for various federal agencies, particularly those within logistics and medical supply chains.
