FAQ

What work fits NAICS 333243?
  • Manufacture complete sawmill lines including log deck equipment, headrig saws, edgers, conveyors, and factory acceptance testing prior to shipment.
  • Build veneer and plywood pressing systems, including hot presses, layup conveyors, hydraulic controls, and pressure vessels assembled and tested at the factory.
  • Produce woodworking production machines such as planers, molders, sanding lines, and automated cutters delivered with machine drawings and spare parts kits.
  • Supply replacement gearboxes, rollers, feed systems, and electrical control panels manufactured to match existing wood- or paper-processing equipment specifications.
When is NAICS 333243 a weak fit?
  • Paper mill maintenance and repair services: solicitation requests on-site repair or overhaul of existing equipment without manufacture of new machinery or factory-built assemblies.
  • Wood product manufacturing (sawmilling or lumber production): contract covers producing lumber, plywood, or finished wood goods rather than producing the machinery that makes them.
  • Installation and site erection of processing equipment: scope requires field erection, civil foundations, or construction management rather than factory manufacture and delivery of machines.
What solicitation language points to NAICS 333243?
  • Request for factory acceptance testing (FAT) at manufacturer facility, with witnessed performance runs and acceptance criteria for throughput and tolerances.
  • Technical drawings and bills of materials required for delivered machinery, plus serial-numbered spare parts lists and replacement assembly documentation.
  • Requirements for custom machine design, machine control panel fabrication, and delivery of prewired electrical cabinets and certified mechanical assemblies.
