FAQ

What work fits NAICS 332812?
  • Electroplating and passivation of fasteners, fittings, and small hardware to meet specified corrosion-resistance and plating thickness requirements.
  • Powder coating and industrial painting of metal panels, frames, and enclosures with specified color, film thickness, and adhesion performance.
  • Anodizing and chemical conversion coating of aluminum components to achieve specified corrosion protection, electrical insulation, or surface hardness.
  • Engraving and etching of metal nameplates, serial numbers, and part identifiers with controlled depth, legibility, and tolerance per engineering drawings.
When is NAICS 332812 a weak fit?
  • Primary metal fabricators whose main activity is forming, welding, and assembly: finishing performed incidentally does not constitute metal finishing as the primary scope.
  • Jewelry and silverware finishing and repair: consumer-grade precious metal finishing and repair services are excluded from this industrial metal finishing code.
  • On-site construction painting contracts for building exteriors and interiors: large-scale architectural painting and coatings delivered as construction work belong to construction painting codes rather than industrial metal finishing.
What solicitation language points to NAICS 332812?
  • Specifications require finish test reports such as film thickness measurements, adhesion testing, and salt spray corrosion results with Certificates of Conformance.
  • CLINs list batch processing requirements, rack sizes and orientations, handling instructions, part identification, and turnaround time per lot.
  • Evaluation requests prior performance demonstrating electroplating or anodizing with process control records, bath chemistry logs, and residual contamination control procedures.
