NAICS 311911 – Roasted Nuts and Peanut Butter Manufacturing covers the industrial-scale production of roasted nuts, peanut butter, and related nut-based food products intended for human consumption. This sector includes operations that roast, grind, blend, and package nuts such as peanuts, almonds, cashews, and walnuts, often with added ingredients like salt, sweeteners, or stabilizers to meet shelf-stable and nutritional specifications. Products in this category are frequently procured for military rations, federal nutrition assistance programs, and institutional feeding operations within the federal food service supply chain. While not a high-profile procurement category, this NAICS supports critical logistics and nutritional readiness goals across federal agencies that require long-shelf-life, high-protein food items for deployment, emergency response, and cafeteria services. No contractor data is available to identify leading primes or small businesses in this NAICS code within the government contracting space. The competitive landscape appears fragmented, with potential participation from specialty food manufacturers, defense contractors with food logistics divisions, and small businesses certified under HUBZone, SDB, or WOSB programs. No agency data is available to identify primary buyers or procurement drivers within this sector. However, demand is likely driven by the Department of Defense for Meal, Ready-to-Eat (MRE) and Unitized Group Ration (UGR) programs, the Department of Agriculture for child nutrition and food assistance initiatives, and the Department of Veterans Affairs for institutional meal services. The market context is characterized by low competition density and niche procurement opportunities. Contractors with expertise in USDA-compliant food safety standards, HACCP protocols, and military-grade packaging may find opportunities in sole-source or limited-bid contracts. Procurement trends suggest steady, low-volume demand tied to inventory replenishment cycles rather than large-scale modernization initiatives.

Small business size standard

The SBA threshold that decides who can bid NAICS 311911 work as a small business.

SBA threshold
750 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.
