FAQ

What work fits NAICS 336415?
  • Production of solid rocket motors or motor segments including propellant casting, curing, case fabrication, and acceptance testing for flight-qualified motors.
  • Manufacture of liquid propulsion components such as turbopumps, injector assemblies, valves, and high-temperature machined nozzles to aerospace metallurgy and tolerance specifications.
  • Provide component-level qualification and lot acceptance testing, including static fire tests, nondestructive inspection, and material certification for propulsion parts.
  • Subcontract manufacturing of propulsion housings, casings, and assembly of propulsion units with full traceability and delivery of test data packages for flight hardware.
When is NAICS 336415 a weak fit?
  • Spacecraft systems integration and avionics work where the missing element is propulsion hardware manufacturing and high-temperature materials fabrication.
  • Propellant formulation research confined to laboratory R and D where the missing element is production-scale manufacturing and flight hardware traceability and qualification.
  • Aircraft turbine engine manufacturing where the missing element is rocket and missile propulsion-specific manufacturing methods, propellant handling, and static fire qualification processes.
What solicitation language points to NAICS 336415?
  • Drawings and specifications call out aerospace-grade alloy chemistries, heat treatment, and material certificates with serial-level traceability.
  • Requirements include static fire or hot-fire acceptance testing, environmental and vibration qualification testing, and delivery of test reports.
  • Deliverables list flight hardware with first article inspection data, nondestructive inspection records, and propulsion unit assembly traceability documentation.
