NAICS 311999 – All Other Miscellaneous Food Manufacturing encompasses the production of food products that do not fit into more specific manufacturing categories, including specialty snacks, dietary supplements, frozen desserts, non-alcoholic beverages, and other niche food items prepared for institutional or government use. This sector serves critical supply chain needs for federal programs requiring shelf-stable, nutritionally fortified, or customized food formulations—particularly in settings such as military rations, correctional facilities, and federal nutrition assistance initiatives. The production processes often involve specialized packaging, allergen control, and compliance with USDA and FDA food safety standards, making technical expertise in food science and regulatory adherence essential for contractors. Top contractors in this space include SYSCO SPOKANE INC, MARATHON MEDICAL CORPORATION, MST MARITIME MANAGEMENT LLC, and AMCAR GROUP LLC, representing a mix of large-scale food distributors, medical nutrition specialists, and logistics-focused suppliers. These firms typically operate as prime contractors with established cold chain and bulk distribution capabilities, often leveraging GSA schedules or blanket purchase agreements to meet recurring federal demand. The Department of Defense, Department of Justice, and Department of Agriculture are the primary awarding agencies, reflecting demand from military feeding programs, federal prison systems, and nutrition assistance initiatives such as school meals and WIC supplemental food packages. These agencies prioritize vendors with validated HACCP plans, ISO certifications, and the ability to deliver in bulk under strict shelf-life and nutritional specifications. The competitive landscape is characterized by high regulatory barriers and low supplier turnover, favoring established players with proven compliance records. Opportunities exist for niche manufacturers specializing in allergen-free, high-protein, or culturally specific food formulations, particularly as agencies seek to modernize meal programs and improve nutritional outcomes across federal facilities.

Small Business Size Standard

The SBA threshold that decides who can bid NAICS 311999 work as a small business.

700 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.
