What this NAICS covers

NAICS 333511 covers manufacturing of industrial molds and tooling used in mass production, including steel injection molds, die-casting molds, blow-molding and thermoforming molds, plus production of mold components, core and cavity machining, and assembly.

Federal opportunities under 333511 typically involve delivering production-ready molds to specified cavity counts, material and heat-treatment requirements, acceptance trials producing acceptable parts, maintenance documentation, and spare component kits.

FAQ

What work fits NAICS 333511?
  • Manufacturing multi-cavity steel injection molds meeting specified shot-life, dimensional tolerance, and cooling channel configurations.
  • Producing die-casting molds with required venting, gating, ejection systems, and supplying acceptance test runs and first-article samples.
  • Fabricating blow-molding or thermoforming molds and preparing tooling fixtures for pilot production and qualification runs.
  • Producing replacement mold inserts, spare core and cavity blocks, and revised mold components to restore specified tolerances and lifecycle performance.
When is NAICS 333511 a weak fit?
  • Plastic part production (injection molding): producing finished plastic components uses molds but does not include making the molds themselves required by this NAICS.
  • Tool and die design services: creating CAD designs, analyses, or engineering drawings without delivering fabricated, production-capable mold hardware lacks the manufacturing output here.
  • Metal casting foundry work: producing cast metal parts or sand molds for foundry operations differs from machining and assembling precision production molds for molding processes.
What solicitation language points to NAICS 333511?
  • Technical requirements specify delivery of hardened steel molds with heat treatment records, cavity counts, tolerances, and documented expected shot life.
  • Contract requires mold tryout runs producing a defined number of acceptable parts, dimensional inspection reports, and first-article samples.
  • Performance deliverables include spare inserts, maintenance manuals, component replacement instructions, and material certification records for mold components.
