Farm Product Warehousing and Storage

The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code 493130 encompasses Farm Product Warehousing and Storage, a specialized logistics sector focused on the storage, handling, and management of agricultural commodities and related products. This classification covers businesses that provide secure, controlled storage environments for farm products, ensuring proper preservation, inventory management, and distribution of agricultural goods. The services include temperature-controlled storage, specialized containment, and logistical support for agricultural commodities before their market distribution.

The federal contract awards under this NAICS code demonstrate a focus on specialized shipping and storage solutions for military logistics. Two recent awards highlight this trend: a $145,969 purchase order to Highland Engineering, Inc. for ethanol-approved containers, and a $57,836 contract to AAR Manufacturing, Inc. for MXG Rapid Mobility Shipping Containers. Both contracts were awarded by U.S. Air Forces Europe and Africa, with firm fixed-price structures and completion dates extending into 2025. The contracts do not utilize set-aside programs and appear to support military readiness through specialized container and storage solutions. The awarded entities are predominantly for-profit manufacturers with extensive experience in producing logistics equipment for Department of Defense agencies.

While the provided data does not include specific federal contract opportunities for this NAICS code, the existing contract awards suggest ongoing demand for specialized shipping containers, storage solutions, and logistics support within military procurement channels. The contracts indicate a consistent need for high-performance storage and transportation equipment that meets stringent military specifications, particularly for mobility and rapid deployment scenarios.
