FAQ

What work fits NAICS 332992?
  • Production of training and duty ammunition with lot serialization, acceptance firing data, and Certificates of Conformance.
  • Manufacture of assembled cartridges to specified ballistic profiles with documented material traceability and packaging for secure shipment.
  • Production of cartridge components such as cases, bullets, primers, or propellant-loaded components supplied to contractor assembly lines.
  • On-demand fabrication of test or proof rounds with documented ballistic performance testing and acceptance firing reports.
When is NAICS 332992 a weak fit?
  • Large-caliber or artillery ammunition manufacturing where propellant types, case construction, and testing regimes differ from small arms cartridge production; missing small-arms cartridge assembly scope.
  • Firearm manufacturing where the primary deliverable is weapons and receiver assemblies rather than cartridges; lacks cartridge production processes.
  • Ammunition demilitarization or destruction contracts focused on disposal rather than production of new munitions.
What solicitation language points to NAICS 332992?
  • Solicitation specifies caliber, velocity or pressure windows, lot serialization, and batch ballistic testing requirements.
  • Contract requires secure manufacturing and transport procedures, facility security plans, and continuous chain-of-custody documentation.
  • Acceptance criteria include sample firing tests, ballistic performance data submissions, and Certificates of Conformance with material and lot traceability.
