NAICS 111199 — All Other Grain Farming encompasses the cultivation of cereal grains not classified under more specific categories, such as sorghum, oats, rye, barley, millet, and other minor grain crops grown for feed, food, or industrial use. This sector includes field operations like seeding, fertilization, pest and disease management, irrigation, and harvest, typically conducted on large-scale commercial farms. While primarily a private-sector agricultural activity, government contracting in this space supports USDA-led initiatives, conservation programs, biofuel feedstock procurement, and research collaborations with land-grant universities. Contracts may involve the production of specialty grains for federal food assistance programs, experimental crop trials, or supply agreements tied to climate-resilient agriculture goals. Though not a traditional defense or IT procurement category, this NAICS plays a foundational role in national food security and sustainable resource management. No contractor data is available for this NAICS code, indicating limited or fragmented government contracting activity. When contracts do occur, they are typically awarded to small agricultural businesses, family-owned farms, or cooperatives participating in USDA conservation or research partnerships rather than large prime contractors. No agency data is available, but potential buyers may include the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the Agricultural Research Service, and the Farm Service Agency, particularly for programs related to crop diversity, soil health, and bioenergy development. Demand is likely driven by research, pilot projects, and compliance with federal nutrition and sustainability mandates rather than large-scale procurement. The competitive landscape is sparse and highly localized, with opportunity density concentrated in agricultural regions with active federal research or conservation partnerships. Contractors with expertise in sustainable grain production, precision agriculture, or organic certification are best positioned to respond to niche solicitations. Procurement trends suggest a growing interest in climate-adaptive crops and regional food system resilience, creating openings for specialized producers aligned with federal agricultural innovation goals.
Small Business Size Standard
The SBA threshold that decides who can bid NAICS 111199 work as a small business.
The SBA cap for this NAICS (13 CFR 121.201). A business at or under it can self-certify as small for work in this code, which is what makes it eligible for a small-business set-aside. The cap is set per NAICS, so the same company can be small in one code and not in another.
13 CFR 121.201, effective January 1, 2026. The SBA revises the table roughly once a year.

Bidder counts reported on past federal awards in this NAICS (USAspending). An open opportunity has no bidders yet, so this is the historical norm for similar work, not a fact about this solicitation. Not all awards report bidder counts, and fewer bidders often means incumbent-held work rather than an easier win. Federal reporting of bidder counts fell from ~96% of awards (FY2016) to ~30% (FY2018 onward); the chart shows shares of reported awards, and washed-out stretches mark years with fewer than 30 of them.
