FAQ

What work fits NAICS 333517?
  • Supply and deliver CNC lathes or milling centers built to specified spindle and axis tolerances with factory calibration and control interface integration.
  • Manufacture custom press brake or forming machine components meeting specified metallurgy, heat treatment, and dimensional tolerances for industrial fabrication lines.
  • Provide assembly and factory acceptance testing of machine tool lines including load tests, vibration analysis, and delivery of operator and maintenance manuals.
  • Produce replacement critical components such as gearboxes, spindle assemblies, and lead screws to original equipment specifications with traceable material certifications.
When is NAICS 333517 a weak fit?
  • Equipment procurement contracts that purchase finished machine tools from distributors without requiring manufacture or fabrication, which lack manufacturer production and factory acceptance responsibilities.
  • On-site repair and preventive maintenance contracts for existing machine tools where scope is service labor and parts replacement rather than manufacturing new units or components.
  • Industrial design or prototyping contracts that deliver design drawings or small prototype runs without production-scale manufacturing, which omit production planning and factory acceptance testing.
What solicitation language points to NAICS 333517?
  • Requests for a detailed bill of materials, material certifications, and manufacturing process documentation tied to each machine tool unit.
  • Factory acceptance test procedures, assembly and calibration witness points, and delivery of as-built drawings with serial-numbered units.
  • Specifications of manufacturing tolerances, heat-treatment requirements, and vendor responsibility for custom component fabrication and traceability.
