NAICS 326199

Overview

The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) is the framework federal statistical programs use to classify business establishments for producing and sharing economic statistics. Developed under the Office of Management and Budget in 1997 to replace SIC, it is jointly maintained by the United States, Canada, and Mexico to ensure comparability across North America; the current vintage used by Census programs is 2022. ¹

NAICS 326199 — All Other Plastics Product Manufacturing — covers U.S. establishments primarily engaged in producing plastics products not elsewhere classified in the plastics subsector. It excludes film, sheet, bags, profile shapes, pipes and fittings, laminates, foam products, bottles, plumbing fixtures, and resilient floor coverings; illustrative examples include plastics cups (non-foam), dinnerware (non-foam), gloves, hardware, siding, trash containers, inflatable boats, air mattresses, and clothes hangers. ²

What this NAICS covers

• Manufacturing miscellaneous consumer plastics items (e.g., non-foam cups, dinnerware, hangers, trash containers). ²
• Producing plastics hardware and components not classified in other plastics industries. ²
• Manufacturing plastics siding and similar building products not covered under pipes, fittings, profiles, laminates, or fixtures. ²
• Making inflatable plastics boats and plastics air mattresses. ²
• Producing disposable and reusable plastics gloves. ²
• Contract/turnkey molding operations when outputs fall outside excluded categories (film/sheet/bags, profiles, pipes, fittings, laminates, foam, bottles, plumbing fixtures, resilient flooring). ²

• What NAICS vintage is currently in use, and how often is NAICS updated?
  The Census Bureau’s programs are transitioning to 2022 NAICS, with broad adoption by 2027; NAICS is reviewed and revised on a five-year cycle to reflect economic changes. ³

• Where to confirm the small business size standard for NAICS 326199?
  SBA sets size standards; manufacturing industries are employee-based. The current thresholds by NAICS, including 326199, are published in SBA’s Table of Size Standards and in 13 CFR 121.201 references. Consult the latest SBA table for the exact value. ⁴

• Which PSCs commonly align to plastics products in 326199 procurements?
  Agencies often use PSC 9330 for plastic fabricated materials when buying generic plastics goods; specific end-items may carry more specialized PSCs depending on function and end use. Confirm PSC selection against the current PSC Manual. ⁵
