What this NAICS covers

NAICS 332813 covers establishments that perform electroplating, plating, polishing, anodizing, and metal coloring on fabricated metal parts, applying surface finishes for corrosion protection, appearance, or functional coatings as their primary manufacturing activity.

Federal opportunities under 332813 typically involve contract processing of mission-critical metal components to specified plating thickness, adhesion, corrosion-resistance, or aesthetic finish standards, including pre-cleaning, masking, bath chemistry control, testing, and detailed process documentation.

FAQ

What work fits NAICS 332813?
  • Anodize and color aluminum structural components to specified thickness, dyeing, sealing, and provide process control records and sealing verification.
  • Electroplate steel or copper parts with zinc, nickel, or chrome to specified microinch/micron thickness with adhesion and corrosion-resistance testing and certification.
  • Provide decorative and functional polishing, passivation, or bright dipping of stainless parts to meet surface roughness and visual acceptance criteria.
  • Run batch plating and finishing services including masking, post-plating inspection, dimensional check, and packaging for serialized hardware deliveries.
When is NAICS 332813 a weak fit?
  • Metal fabrication and machining work that produces raw or machined parts but does not include electrochemical surface finishing as the primary process.
  • Powder coating or spray painting shops that apply organic coatings rather than electroplating, anodizing, or electrochemical metal finishing.
  • Metal scrap processing or recycling operations that recover base metals but do not perform surface finishing, plating, or anodizing of fabricated parts.
What solicitation language points to NAICS 332813?
  • Technical specifications listing required coating thickness in microns or microinches, adhesion test methods, and corrosion-resistance criteria for finished parts.
  • Quality deliverables calling for batch chemical records, plating bath controls, process flow charts, and laboratory test reports with traceability.
  • Labor categories and staffing levels specifying certified electroplaters, surface-finish chemists, and quality inspectors plus hazardous waste and chemical handling procedures.
