Other Fabricated Wire Product Manufacturing

NAICS Category 332618 encompasses the manufacturing of fabricated wire products beyond standard wire drawing. This category includes the production of specialized wire-based components such as wire rope assemblies, chains, pins, springs, O-rings, and various mechanical fasteners. Manufacturers in this category create precision-engineered wire products that serve critical functions across multiple industrial and military applications.

Federal Contract Awards in this category reflect a robust market for specialized wire components, predominantly serving defense and logistics agencies. The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) emerges as the primary contracting entity, with most awards ranging from $1,000 to $50,000 and delivery periods spanning 30-420 days. Frequent awardees include L3Harris Technologies, Fort Wayne Metals, Cable Moore, and various small businesses, many of which are woman-owned, service-disabled veteran-owned, or HUBZone certified. Set-asides predominantly favor small businesses, with contracts often supporting aviation, maritime, and ground vehicle maintenance requirements. Performance locations typically include DLA distribution centers across the United States.

Recent Federal Contract Opportunities in this NAICS category demonstrate diverse requirements from multiple federal agencies. The U.S. Coast Guard, Naval Supply Systems Command, and Defense Logistics Agency have solicited wire-based products including wire rope assemblies, O-rings, chains, pins, and specialized aerospace components. Most opportunities are set aside for small businesses, with quantities ranging from 1 to 2,000 units and delivery timelines of 30-231 days. Procurement methods consistently utilize electronic Request for Quote (RFQ) processes, with destinations primarily at military bases, naval stations, and DLA distribution centers across domestic and international locations.
