Metal Crown, Closure, and Other Metal Stamping (except Automotive)

NAICS Category 332119 encompasses metal crown, closure, and other metal stamping operations, specifically excluding automotive applications. This category focuses on manufacturing precision metal components through stamping, pressing, and forming processes. Products include specialized hardware such as spacers, bushings, rings, pins, plugs, grommets, and other small mechanical components primarily used in aerospace, military, and industrial equipment applications.

Federal Contract Awards in this category demonstrate consistent procurement patterns by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation and Naval Supply Systems Command. Awards typically range from $500 to $16,900, with most being firm fixed-price purchase orders targeting specific National Stock Number (NSN) components. Frequent awardees include small businesses like Jo-Kell Inc., Neco Industries Inc., Fatigue Technology Inc., and Defense Support Services, Inc. Contracts are predominantly not set-aside, though some total small business set-asides occur. Performance locations include various DLA distribution centers across the United States, with delivery timelines generally between 60 and 171 days after order placement.

Recent federal contract opportunities underscore the specialized nature of these metal stamping components. The Defense Logistics Agency Aviation and Naval Supply Systems Command have posted solicitations for items like bushing sleeves, spacer rings, positioning guides, and machine thread plugs. Most opportunities are requests for quote (RFQ) with quantities ranging from 2 to 4,280 units. Procurement methods include total small business set-asides and unrestricted competitions, with delivery locations primarily at DLA distribution centers. Opportunities frequently specify approved manufacturing sources and require electronic quote submissions, reflecting a streamlined, technology-driven procurement approach.
