NAICS 325998 – All Other Miscellaneous Chemical Product and Preparation Manufacturing encompasses the production of chemical formulations and preparations not covered by more specific NAICS categories, including specialty adhesives, industrial cleaners, decontaminants, chemical stabilizers, and custom chemical blends used in defense, medical, and environmental applications. This sector supports mission-critical government operations through tailored chemical solutions for decontamination, sterilization, corrosion inhibition, and hazardous material handling. These products are often formulated to meet stringent federal specifications such as MIL-STD or ASTM standards and are integral to logistics, field operations, and facility maintenance across defense, public health, and environmental remediation programs. Top contractors in this space include VISIONCORPS, SUPPLY KING USA, LLC, SILVER WOLF ENTERPRISES CORP, MARATHON MEDICAL CORPORATION, ENVIRONMENTAL TESTING AND CONSULTING, INC., and LINDE GAS & EQUIPMENT INC., reflecting a mix of small businesses and mid-tier primes with expertise in chemical formulation, regulatory compliance, and just-in-time delivery. Many operate under specialized manufacturing certifications and maintain robust quality management systems to meet federal procurement requirements. The Department of Defense, Department of Veterans Affairs, Department of Justice, and Department of Health and Human Services are the primary procuring agencies, driven by needs in medical countermeasures, chemical defense, facility sanitation, and hazardous waste management. Demand is fueled by readiness initiatives, emergency response preparedness, and environmental compliance mandates. The competitive landscape is characterized by niche specialization, with opportunities concentrated in contractors capable of rapid prototyping, regulatory documentation, and supply chain resilience. Government buyers increasingly prioritize domestic sourcing, sustainable formulations, and validated performance data, creating openings for agile manufacturers with proven compliance and technical agility.
Small Business Size Standard
The SBA threshold that decides who can bid NAICS 325998 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.
