325510: Paint and Coating Manufacturing
Sector 31-33, Manufacturing. Subsector 325, Chemical Manufacturing. The federal award record for this code: who buys it, who won it, what it went for, what recompetes soon.
NAICS 325510 in numbers
The federal government buys paint and coatings primarily through GSA schedule contracts and DLA supply agreements. GSA's Tools Acquisition Division II leads with over 176,000 awards, followed by DLA Aviation and DLA Troop Support. Most purchases flow through standing contracts rather than competitive solicitations. The vast majority of awards carry no small business set-aside, meaning they are open to all vendors regardless of size.
A firm considering this market should know that the median award is $265, reflecting high-volume, low-dollar transactions typical of supply contracts. With 635 distinct vendors sharing $1.46 billion over 26 years, competition is substantial but the market is large enough to support many suppliers. The data shows this is a volume game where success depends on getting on the right GSA or DLA contracts and maintaining reliable delivery rather than winning individual large awards.
Watch for the 50 contracts worth $10.02 million that end within the next 12 months. These represent renewal opportunities with established buyers. The 15 active notices suggest ongoing procurement activity. If you are not yet on GSA schedule or a DLA vendor list, those are the entry points to pursue. Small business set-asides account for less than 4 percent of awards, so competition for those is tighter, but the open market offers more volume.
