FAQ

What work fits NAICS 333515?
  • Manufacture of precision end mills, drills, reamers, and taps to print with specified flute geometry, surface finish, and dimensional tolerances.
  • Production of tool holders, collets, chucks, and adapters with concentricity and runout control and supplied with balancing or inspection reports.
  • Fabrication of indexable tool assemblies and brazed tooling with specified carbide grades, heat treatment, and coating processes plus material certificates.
  • Batch production of machine tool accessories such as fixture components and specialized clamping devices supplied with dimensional inspection data and Certificates of Conformance.
When is NAICS 333515 a weak fit?
  • Machine tool manufacturing that builds lathes, milling machines, or machining centers, which assembles machines rather than producing cutting tools or accessories.
  • Contract machining or job shop production of finished parts using cutting tools, where the primary activity is part fabrication rather than manufacturing cutting tools.
  • On-site tool regrinding and sharpening services that recondition used tools instead of manufacturing new cutting tools and accessories to specification.
What solicitation language points to NAICS 333515?
  • Scope includes production to detailed tool drawings with GD&T callouts, and requires dimensional inspection reports and first article inspection documentation.
  • Specification lists material and coating requirements (for example carbide grade and coating type), heat treatment records, and hardness values as acceptance criteria.
  • Evaluation criteria request Certificates of Conformance, material mill test reports, lot traceability, and sample tool performance data such as runout, concentricity, or surface finish measurements.
