FAQ

What work fits NAICS 332420?
  • Fabrication of welded storage tanks delivered with material mill test reports, welding procedure specifications, and radiographic or ultrasonic NDT reports.
  • Manufacture of pressure vessels with hydrostatic test certificates, stamped test documentation, and specified pressure relief device installation.
  • Supply of skidded tank modules with integrated piping, lifting lugs, and shop-level leak testing prior to shipment.
  • Replacement tank fabrication to match provided drawings, including specified coatings and documented plate traceability from heat numbers.
When is NAICS 332420 a weak fit?
  • Continuous pipe or tubing production where the product is manufactured as continuous lengths and not formed into heavy-gauge closed vessels or pressure-containing assemblies.
  • Structural steel fabrication for buildings where the scope emphasizes beams, columns, and bolted structural assemblies rather than pressure containment and associated testing.
  • Light-gauge sheet metal enclosure manufacturing where material thickness and pressure containment testing requirements are absent and heavy-gauge welding procedures are not required.
What solicitation language points to NAICS 332420?
  • Contract requirements for welding procedure specifications, welder qualification records, and NDT reports associated with each weld.
  • Line items calling for hydrostatic or pneumatic pressure testing with stamped test certificates and documented acceptance criteria.
  • Material traceability requirements listing plate heat numbers, mill test reports, and specified material grades tied to delivered units.
