NAICS 326111 – Plastics Bag and Pouch Manufacturing encompasses the production of flexible plastic packaging products such as polyethylene bags, laminated pouches, zip-lock seals, vacuum-sealed containers, and specialty film-based enclosures used for containment, protection, and transport of goods. These products are critical in government supply chains for secure storage and distribution of sensitive materials, including evidence, documents, medical supplies, and classified items requiring tamper-evident or moisture-resistant packaging. The sector supports compliance with federal standards for material integrity, durability, and traceability, often requiring adherence to ASTM, MIL-SPEC, or ISO quality protocols. While primarily a manufacturing function, government procurement in this space frequently integrates logistics, labeling, and serialization requirements, positioning it at the intersection of industrial production and secure federal logistics. VISIONCORPS is the leading contractor in this NAICS code, demonstrating a specialized focus on producing high-integrity plastic packaging solutions tailored for federal use. The company operates as a mid-tier prime contractor with capabilities in custom extrusion, printing, and sealing technologies, serving as a trusted supplier for mission-critical packaging needs. The competitive landscape is concentrated, with limited participants due to the technical specificity and regulatory compliance demands of federal contracts. The Department of Justice is the primary federal buyer, leveraging these products for evidence handling, forensic packaging, and secure document transport across federal, state, and local law enforcement operations. Demand is driven by courtroom logistics, chain-of-custody protocols, and interagency evidence management programs requiring tamper-evident, durable, and identifiable packaging. The market is characterized by low contractor density and high compliance barriers, creating opportunities for manufacturers with certified production facilities, quality management systems, and experience in government-issued specifications. Procurement trends show a preference for domestic sourcing and repeat vendor relationships, favoring contractors with established track records in secure packaging solutions.

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.
