FAQ

What work fits NAICS 336411?
  • Production contracts to fabricate and deliver completed airframes and assembled aircraft per technical drawings and specification sheets.
  • Manufacture and integration of aircraft subsystems such as flight control surfaces, landing gear assemblies, or avionics racks to be installed during final assembly.
  • Supply contracts for production of aviation-grade structural assemblies with traceability, nondestructive testing, and first-article inspection documentation.
  • Work orders for production line fabrication, assembly sequencing, and factory acceptance testing tied to serial-numbered deliveries.
When is NAICS 336411 a weak fit?
  • Aircraft maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO): focus on sustainment and repair activities rather than original equipment manufacturing and production deliverables.
  • Engineering design-only contracts: emphasize analyses, drawings, and reports without factory fabrication, assembly, and production outputs.
  • Non-aviation metal fabrication: delivers general structural components lacking aviation certification, traceability, and system integration required for aircraft manufacture.
What solicitation language points to NAICS 336411?
  • RFP includes requirements for tooling, production schedules, factory acceptance tests, and documented manufacturing processes and facilities.
  • Solicitation demands first-article inspection, parts traceability, certifications for materials, and supplier quality management systems.
  • Evaluation criteria assess manufacturing capacity, production line flow, subcontractor networks for avionics and materials, and quality control plans.
