NAICS 111310 – Orange Groves encompasses the cultivation of orange trees for the production of citrus fruit, including fresh market oranges and fruit destined for processing into juice, concentrates, or other value-added products. This sector involves orchard establishment, irrigation management, pest and disease control, pruning, harvesting, and post-harvest handling using agricultural best practices. While primarily a private-sector agricultural activity, government contracting in this space may involve research partnerships, conservation programs, or land management services tied to federal agricultural extension initiatives, environmental stewardship projects, or support for rural economic development. Contracts may also arise from USDA-led initiatives promoting sustainable citrus production or disease mitigation efforts such as those targeting Huanglongbing (citrus greening). This NAICS code represents a niche but strategically important segment within the broader agricultural contracting landscape, particularly in regions with significant citrus production like Florida and California. No contractor data is available for this NAICS code, indicating limited or no direct federal procurement activity tied to commercial orange grove operations. Should contracts exist, they would likely involve small agricultural service providers, research institutions, or environmental consultants rather than large prime contractors. No agency data is available, suggesting no consistent pattern of federal agency spending directly tied to orange grove cultivation. Any federal involvement would most likely be indirect, through USDA’s Agricultural Research Service, Natural Resources Conservation Service, or Farm Service Agency programs focused on crop resilience, land conservation, or biosecurity. The competitive landscape is sparse, with minimal procurement activity observed. Opportunities for contractors are limited and typically tied to research, technical assistance, or environmental compliance services rather than direct production. Trends suggest demand is driven by long-term agricultural sustainability goals rather than routine procurement cycles.
Small Business Size Standard
The SBA threshold that decides who can bid NAICS 111310 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.
