NAICS 326112 – Plastics Packaging Film and Sheet (including Laminated) Manufacturing covers the production of flexible and rigid plastic films and sheets used primarily for packaging applications, including multi-layer laminated structures designed for barrier protection, UV resistance, and tamper evidence. This sector produces materials such as polyethylene, polypropylene, polyester, and co-extruded films used in military rations, medical device sterilization wraps, chemical containment, and logistics packaging for sensitive government supplies. These materials are critical for maintaining product integrity in austere environments and are often engineered to meet MIL-SPEC or ASTM standards for durability, sealability, and environmental resilience. In government contracting, this NAICS supports logistics, defense, healthcare, and emergency response supply chains where reliable, lightweight, and protective packaging is essential. No contractor data is available to identify leading primes or small businesses in this sector, indicating either low procurement volume or high fragmentation among niche manufacturers. The competitive landscape likely includes specialized polymer processors, family-owned film extruders, and ISO-certified converters with expertise in laminated structures and cleanroom manufacturing. No agency data is available to identify primary buyers, though demand is presumed to originate from the Department of Defense for field rations and munitions packaging, the Department of Health and Human Services for pharmaceutical and vaccine distribution, and the General Services Administration for federal supply chain logistics. The market is characterized by low visibility in public procurement data, suggesting opportunities for qualified manufacturers with certified production capabilities and experience in government-compliant material specifications. Contractors with expertise in food-grade, sterile, or military-spec films may find entry points through indirect supply chains or subcontracting to larger logistics integrators.

Small Business Size Standard

The SBA threshold that decides who can bid NAICS 326112 work as a small business.

1,000 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.
