325520: Adhesive 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 325520 in numbers
The federal government buys adhesives primarily through DLA Troop Support and GSA's tools acquisition divisions. DLA Troop Support alone placed 353,328 orders worth $385.20M since 2001. Most purchases are unrestricted, though a small number go to SBA set-asides. Buying happens through both GSA schedules and direct procurement channels. The median award of $142 reflects frequent small orders for routine supply needs rather than large contracts.
A firm considering this market should know that 747 vendors have won awards, suggesting moderate competition. The total of $920.22M over 25 years averages $36.8M annually. Most awards are small, which means high volume and repeat ordering matter more than winning a few large deals. The top three buyers account for 644,525 awards and $670.17M, so establishing relationships with DLA and GSA is critical to success in this sector.
Watch for the 25 contracts ending within 12 months worth $1.54M. These represent renewal opportunities. The extremely low use of SBA set-asides (4,591 awards out of 698,451) suggests limited preference for small business in this category. Monitor whether GSA or DLA shift their sourcing patterns or consolidate vendors, as changes in their procurement strategies would directly affect market access for new entrants.
