Fabricated Structural Metal Manufacturing

NAICS 332312 (Fabricated Structural Metal Manufacturing) encompasses the production of specialized metal components and structures through advanced manufacturing techniques. This category includes fabricating structural metal products such as cattle guards, metal platforms, shelters, gates, maintenance stands, bridges, and various industrial components. Manufacturers in this sector transform raw metal materials into precise, engineered products used across multiple industries, including military, infrastructure, transportation, and construction sectors.

Recent federal contract awards under this NAICS code demonstrate a diverse range of procurement activities, primarily from defense and civilian agencies like the Department of Defense, Army Corps of Engineers, and Department of the Interior. Contract values range from approximately $1,000 to nearly $24 million, with most awards falling between $10,000 and $500,000. Frequently awarded entities include small businesses, woman-owned businesses, veteran-owned businesses, and service-disabled veteran-owned businesses.

Delivery locations span military bases, federal facilities, and infrastructure sites across the United States, with performance periods typically ranging from 90 to 540 days.

Federal contract opportunities in this NAICS category reflect a broad spectrum of specialized structural metal manufacturing requirements. Recent solicitations include requests for turbine maintenance platforms, aquaculture system components, military infrastructure equipment, floating docks, crane rescue baskets, and various custom metal fabrication projects. Agencies such as the Department of Energy, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Air Force, Navy, and Army Corps of Engineers have posted opportunities. Performance locations include military installations, national fish hatcheries, power generation facilities, and various federal sites across the continental United States. Most opportunities are set aside for small businesses and require detailed technical capabilities, precise fabrication standards, and compliance with specific military or federal specifications.
