Aluminum Foundries (except Die-Casting)

NAICS 331524 encompasses aluminum foundries that specialize in manufacturing aluminum components through casting processes, excluding die-casting techniques. These foundries produce precision-engineered metal parts for various industrial and defense-related applications, focusing on creating complex aluminum components that require sophisticated metallurgical expertise and manufacturing capabilities. The category represents manufacturers capable of producing specialized equipment, mechanical parts, and structural components made from aluminum through advanced casting methodologies.

The federal contract awards in this category demonstrate procurement of specialized equipment and components for defense logistics, with recent awards from the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA). The contract values range from $3,200 to $234,688, typically involving firm fixed-price purchase orders with completion dates extending into 2026. Awarded vendors include small businesses and established defense suppliers like Advance Development & Manufacturing Corporation and Equipment Parts Sales, which provide critical aviation components, mechanical parts, and specialized equipment. The awards do not consistently utilize small business set-asides, suggesting open competition among qualified manufacturers. Delivery destinations include DLA Distribution Centers, with a focus on supporting military logistics and maintenance programs.
