FAQ

What work fits NAICS 333111?
  • Manufacture agricultural tractors including welded chassis, power take-off systems, drivetrain integration, and final assembly to meet specified performance criteria.
  • Produce combines and harvesters with header assemblies, threshing components, grain handling systems, and subsystem integration including functional testing.
  • Fabricate and assemble planting and seeding equipment such as planters and seed metering systems, delivering calibrated assemblies within specified tolerances.
  • Provide prototype builds and small production runs with design-for-manufacture input, prototype testing, and factory acceptance tests prior to production scaling.
When is NAICS 333111 a weak fit?
  • Agricultural equipment repair and field service - on-site maintenance, repairs, or retrofitting of farm equipment is service work and not manufacturing.
  • Irrigation system installation and civil works - installing pumps, piping, and field irrigation infrastructure is construction/mechanical contracting and not farm machinery manufacturing.
  • Wholesale distribution of farm machinery parts - stocking and reselling OEM parts without manufacturing or assembly activity is distribution and not manufacturing.
What solicitation language points to NAICS 333111?
  • Specifications require production quantities, detailed engineering drawings, bill of materials, welding procedure specifications, and dimensional tolerances for delivered equipment.
  • Contract includes prototype milestones, factory acceptance testing, production schedules with run-rate targets, and delivery of serialized units with test reports.
  • Evaluation criteria reference manufacturing capabilities such as welding certifications, assembly line capacity, quality control plans, and component traceability.
