NAICS 212390 – Other Nonmetallic Mineral Mining and Quarrying encompasses the extraction of nonmetallic minerals not covered under other categories, including dimension stone, industrial minerals like gypsum, limestone, silica sand, and crushed rock used in construction, defense infrastructure, and specialized industrial applications. This sector supports critical government projects requiring durable, high-purity mineral aggregates for runway construction, ballistic shielding, chemical filtration, and erosion control systems. While often overlooked, these materials are foundational to military base development, civil works projects, and logistics infrastructure, particularly in remote or austere environments where local sourcing reduces supply chain vulnerability. The work involves precise quarrying, crushing, screening, and processing techniques to meet federal specifications for gradation, purity, and structural integrity. SUPPLY KING USA, LLC is the leading contractor in this sector, demonstrating a focus on agile, logistics-driven mineral supply chains tailored to DoD operational needs. The competitive landscape is dominated by small to mid-sized firms with regional quarrying capabilities and specialized permitting expertise, rather than large primes, reflecting the localized nature of resource extraction and transportation constraints. The Department of Defense is the primary federal buyer, sourcing these materials for base construction, expeditionary engineering, and munitions production support. Demand is driven by mission-critical infrastructure modernization, forward operating base sustainment, and readiness initiatives requiring locally available, high-volume mineral inputs. The market is characterized by high entry barriers due to land use permitting, environmental compliance, and transportation logistics, but offers consistent opportunity for contractors with established quarries, federal certifications, and proven ability to deliver to military specifications. Procurement trends favor pre-qualified vendors with demonstrated reliability and compliance with ASTM and MIL-SPEC standards.

Small Business Size Standard

The SBA threshold that decides who can bid NAICS 212390 work as a small business.

600 employees
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.
