NAICS 212319: Other Crushed and Broken Stone Mining and Quarrying

NAICS 212319 – Other Crushed and Broken Stone Mining and Quarrying covers the extraction, crushing, screening, and processing of dimension stone, limestone, granite, quartzite, and other non-metallic minerals used in construction aggregates. This sector supports critical infrastructure projects including roadbeds, drainage systems, railroad ballast, and erosion control structures. Unlike metal or coal mining, this activity is primarily localized, requiring proximity to construction zones and municipal engineering projects. In government contracting, this NAICS code serves as a foundational supply chain link for public works, transportation, and civil engineering initiatives, often procured through direct contracts or as part of larger construction packages. No contractor data is available for this NAICS code based on current government contracting records, indicating either low volume or highly fragmented procurement activity among small, regional operators rather than large primes. The competitive landscape appears dominated by local quarriers and aggregate suppliers with limited federal presence, suggesting that most contracts are awarded at the municipal or state level. The City of Newport News is the only agency identified in government contracting data, reflecting localized demand for crushed stone in municipal infrastructure maintenance, port improvements, and coastal resilience projects. This suggests that procurement in this sector is heavily driven by local public works departments rather than federal agencies, with demand tied to regional construction cycles and environmental mitigation efforts. The market is characterized by low opportunity density at the federal level but high activity in municipal and state transportation and environmental programs. Contractors with local permitting, environmental compliance expertise, and logistics capabilities for bulk aggregate delivery are best positioned to compete. Procurement trends indicate a preference for long-term supply agreements over single-task awards, favoring firms with established quarries and certified production facilities.
