NAICS 111930 – Sugarcane Farming encompasses the cultivation and harvesting of sugarcane for sugar production, ethanol feedstock, and other agro-industrial uses. This sector involves specialized agricultural practices including land preparation, planting of vegetative cuttings, irrigation management, pest and disease control, and mechanized harvesting using combine harvesters or cane cutters. While primarily a commercial agricultural activity, government contracting in this space typically supports research, conservation, and bioenergy initiatives through federal agencies focused on agricultural innovation, renewable energy development, and rural economic support. Contracts may include soil health monitoring, sustainable farming pilot programs, or technical assistance for smallholder growers under USDA-led initiatives. Though not a traditional defense or IT procurement category, sugarcane farming intersects with broader federal goals around biofuel sustainability and climate-smart agriculture. No contractor data is available for this NAICS code, indicating limited or no direct federal procurement activity tied to sugarcane production contracts. Where contracts do exist, they are likely awarded to agricultural service providers, research institutions, or small businesses engaged in applied farming science rather than large prime contractors. No agency data is available, suggesting no single federal entity dominates procurement in this niche. Potential buyers may include the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Agricultural Research Service, the Natural Resources Conservation Service, or the Renewable Energy Programs under the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy, though procurement volumes appear minimal. The competitive landscape is sparse, with low opportunity density for traditional government contractors. Opportunities are concentrated in grant-funded research partnerships, technical support for sustainable crop management, and environmental compliance services rather than direct commodity procurement. Contractors should focus on aligning with USDA’s conservation and bioenergy objectives to access emerging niche opportunities in climate-resilient agriculture.

Small Business Size Standard

The SBA threshold that decides who can bid NAICS 111930 work as a small business.

$5.0M
Applies to the whole industry code

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.
