Spring and Wire Product Manufacturing

The NAICS 33261 category encompasses Spring and Wire Product Manufacturing, focusing on the production of various metal-based components such as springs, wire rods, wire products, and related fabricated metal items. These products are critical for numerous industrial, military, and commercial applications, including machinery, transportation, aerospace, and defense equipment. Manufacturers in this category transform raw metal materials into specialized components through processes like drawing, cutting, forming, and heat treatment.

Recent federal contract awards under this category primarily involve the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) and Department of the Navy, with procurement values typically ranging from $5,000 to $250,000 for individual contracts. Most opportunities are set aside for small businesses, including Total Small Business, HUBZone, and Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business categories. Common delivery locations include various DLA distribution centers across the United States, such as San Joaquin, Albany, Cherry Point, and Puget Sound. Typical products include helical compression springs, wire ropes, chains, pins, o-rings, and other specialized hardware components used in military and aerospace applications.

Recent federal contract opportunities demonstrate a consistent demand for precise, military-specification wire and spring products. The solicitations predominantly originate from the Defense Logistics Agency Aviation and Land and Maritime divisions, seeking components for military equipment maintenance and replacement. Most opportunities require electronic quote submissions, have specific delivery timelines (typically 60-420 days after order), and involve quantities ranging from 1 to 2,222 units. Performance locations are predominantly military logistics facilities and distribution centers, with a strong emphasis on specialized manufacturing capabilities that can meet stringent military technical specifications and quality standards.
