Machine Shops; Turned Product; and Screw, Nut, and Bolt Manufacturing

NAICS Category 3327 encompasses machine shops and manufacturing facilities specializing in turned product, screw, nut, and bolt production. These manufacturers create precision metal components through machining, turning, and fabrication processes. The category includes companies that transform raw metal materials into specialized fasteners, hardware, and mechanical components used across multiple industrial sectors, including aerospace, defense, automotive, and construction industries.

Federal contract awards within this NAICS category demonstrate a robust market for specialized hardware and manufacturing services. The majority of awards are made by defense-related agencies such as the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation and Naval Supply Systems Command, with contract values typically ranging from tens of thousands to several hundred thousand dollars. Most solicitations are set aside for small businesses, with specific designations including Total Small Business, HUBZone, and Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business categories. Common performance locations include military distribution centers in locations like San Diego, Oklahoma, Jacksonville, and Corpus Christi, indicating a strong focus on supporting military logistics and equipment maintenance infrastructure.

Recent federal contract opportunities within this NAICS category primarily involve procuring specific hardware components such as bolts, nuts, washers, rivets, and specialized mechanical fasteners. Most solicitations request electronic quote submissions for quantities ranging from 1 to 24,000 units, with delivery timelines typically spanning 90 to 600 days after order. Federal agencies including the Defense Logistics Agency Aviation, Naval Surface Warfare Center, and Naval Supply Systems Command are actively seeking these precision-manufactured components. The opportunities emphasize strict technical specifications, source-controlled manufacturing, and electronic submission processes, reflecting the technical complexity and strategic importance of these mechanical components in military and government applications.
