What this NAICS covers

NAICS 331110 covers establishments operating blast furnaces or electric arc furnaces that smelt iron and produce steel and ferroalloys, delivering primary products such as ingots, billets, slabs, bars, and ferroalloy melts through melting, refining, and casting.

Federal opportunities under 331110 typically involve supply contracts for primary steel products with specified chemical composition and mill test reports, melt-shop production scheduling, capacity commitments, and delivery of standardized or custom-milled steel shapes.

FAQ

What work fits NAICS 331110?
  • Production and delivery of primary steel slabs, billets, and ingots meeting specified chemical composition and mill test reports for downstream rolling or forging.
  • Ferroalloy smelting and casting to specified alloy content delivered as chargeable forms for integration into steelmaking operations.
  • Contracted melt-shop production runs with scheduled heats, heat tracking, and lot traceability tied to purchase orders.
  • Supply of primary carbon steel bars, billets, and slabs for further processing by rolling mills, forging shops, or downstream metallurgical operations.
When is NAICS 331110 a weak fit?
  • Rolled steel product manufacturers and metal service centers: missing primary smelting and melting processes; these downstream processors reshape or redistribute purchased steel.
  • Steel fabrication and structural assembly: missing smelting and primary product production; fabrication assembles or cuts finished steel stock into structures.
  • Nonferrous metal smelting (aluminum, copper): missing iron and steel primary smelting and ferroalloy production processes.
What solicitation language points to NAICS 331110?
  • Technical specs requiring chemical composition ranges, heat numbers, and mill test certificates for each lot delivered.
  • Line items specifying tonnage by product form (ingot, slab, billet), scheduled heats, and accepted production lead times.
  • Performance terms referencing melt-shop capacity, heat tracking, metallurgical acceptance testing, and lot-level traceability.
