Iron and Steel Pipe and Tube Manufacturing from Purchased Steel

NAICS 331210 - Iron and Steel Pipe and Tube Manufacturing from Purchased Steel encompasses the production of various metallic pipes, tubes, and related components manufactured from purchased steel. These products range from standard industrial piping to specialized tubes used in military, aerospace, and infrastructure applications. Manufacturers in this category transform steel materials into pipes and tubes with specific dimensional, material, and performance characteristics for diverse engineering and construction needs.

Federal Contract Awards in this NAICS category predominantly involve the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA), Naval Sea Systems Command, and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Typical contract values range from $1,000 to $250,000, with performance periods typically spanning 30 to 180 days. Frequently awarded entities include Specialized Metals, Rudy & Associates, and Aircraft Tubular Components Inc. Most awards are firm fixed-price purchase orders, with set-aside designations commonly including total small business, service-disabled veteran-owned small business, and 8(a) program participants. Performance locations are primarily distributed across military bases, naval shipyards, and federal facilities nationwide.

Recent Federal Contract Opportunities focus on procuring specialized metallic tubes, pipes, and tube assemblies for military and federal infrastructure projects. Solicitations primarily originate from the Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime, Aviation divisions, and naval shipyards. Specific requirements include precision-engineered tubes for aircraft, naval vessels, and infrastructure maintenance, with quantities ranging from 3 to 18,416 linear feet. Most opportunities are set aside for small businesses, particularly targeting manufacturers capable of meeting strict military specifications for material composition, testing, and quality control.
