Nonferrous Metal (except Copper and Aluminum) Rolling, Drawing, and Extruding

The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code 331491 covers Nonferrous Metal (except Copper and Aluminum) Rolling, Drawing, and Extruding, which involves manufacturing processes that transform nonferrous metal materials into specialized shapes, bars, sheets, plates, and other forms. This category encompasses the production of metal components through techniques like rolling, drawing, and extrusion for industries including aerospace, defense, manufacturing, and engineering. The processes typically involve transforming metals such as nickel, titanium, and other specialty alloys into precise geometric configurations with specific material properties.

The federal contract awards under this NAICS code predominantly focus on supplying specialized metal materials to defense agencies, particularly the United States Mint and Defense Logistics Agency (DLA). Key contractors include Asahi Refining USA Inc., A-Mark Precious Metals, and Coins 'N Things, Inc., with contract values ranging from approximately $1,000 to $8.5 million. Most awards are firm fixed-price delivery orders with completion dates between 6-12 months. The majority of contracts are not set aside, though some are designated for small businesses. Frequent funding agencies include the Department of the Treasury and Department of Defense, with primary performance locations in California, Utah, and various military distribution centers.

Recent federal contract opportunities under this NAICS code are primarily solicitations from the Defense Logistics Agency for metal sheets, cables, bars, and specialized components like duct assemblies. These opportunities consistently target small businesses, with set-asides including total small business, HUBZone, and service-disabled veteran-owned small business categories. Most solicitations request quantities ranging from 2-665 units of metal products, with delivery timelines of 41-256 days after order. Typical procurement locations include DLA Distribution facilities in Oklahoma, Warner Robins, and San Joaquin, with solicitations covering products like radio frequency cables, metal sheets, power cables, and aerospace component assemblies.
