NAICS 322211 – Corrugated and Solid Fiber Box Manufacturing encompasses the production of shipping containers, packaging boxes, and protective packaging solutions made from corrugated fiberboard, solid fiberboard, and related composite materials. This industry supports critical logistics and supply chain functions across federal operations, providing durable, lightweight, and recyclable packaging for equipment, medical supplies, spare parts, and sensitive materials. Government contractors in this sector often design custom packaging to meet MIL-STD specifications for shock absorption, moisture resistance, and stackability, ensuring compliance with defense and civilian agency logistics standards. These products are essential for field deployments, inventory management, and distribution networks, bridging industrial manufacturing with operational readiness requirements. Top contractors in this sector include Deloitte Consulting LLP, BHPE LLC, Supply King USA, LLC, and Altitude Technologies Inc., reflecting a mix of large primes and specialized small businesses with expertise in logistics integration, supply chain optimization, and compliant packaging design. These firms often serve as system integrators or niche suppliers, combining manufacturing capabilities with procurement and distribution services tailored to federal requirements. The Department of Defense is the primary federal buyer, driving demand through military logistics, field deployment programs, medical supply chains, and base infrastructure operations. Packaging must meet rigorous durability and environmental standards for global distribution, especially in austere or high-humidity environments. The competitive landscape is characterized by a blend of established manufacturers and agile small businesses that can rapidly adapt to custom specifications. Opportunities exist for contractors with certifications in sustainable packaging, automated production, and just-in-time delivery systems. Demand remains steady due to the persistent need for compliant, scalable packaging solutions across defense, healthcare, and federal civilian agencies, with increasing emphasis on supply chain resilience and material sustainability.

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.
