Food Product Machinery Manufacturing

NAICS 333241 (Food Product Machinery Manufacturing) encompasses equipment and machinery designed for food production, processing, packaging, and service. This category includes specialized machinery for commercial and institutional kitchens, food manufacturing facilities, and food service operations. Products range from industrial ovens, dishwashers, and refrigeration units to specialized equipment like convection steamers, food warmers, and serving line counters. The machinery is engineered to meet precise commercial and military food preparation standards, often requiring specific technical specifications and regulatory compliance.

Federal Contract Awards in this category demonstrate a robust market for food service equipment, primarily through the General Services Administration (GSA) Multiple Award Schedule (MAS) program. Most awards are small to medium-sized, ranging from $1,000 to $35,000, with periods of performance typically between 30 and 365 days. Babco International Inc., a woman-owned small business, emerges as a frequent awardee, securing multiple contracts for dinnerware, kitchen equipment, and food service machinery. Awards are predominantly set aside for small businesses and are commonly issued by agencies like the Defense Logistics Agency, Department of Veterans Affairs, and military service branches. Delivery locations span military installations, medical centers, and regional maintenance centers across the United States.

Recent federal contract opportunities in this NAICS code focus on specific food service equipment procurement for military and government facilities. Solicitations include requests for dishwashing machines, convection steamers, refrigerators, warming ovens, and specialized food preparation equipment. Notable opportunities include the Department of Veterans Affairs seeking a convection steamer for the David Grant Medical Center, the U.S. Army requesting a beverage delivery device, and the Defense Logistics Agency seeking various kitchen equipment for military installations. Most opportunities are set aside for small businesses, with delivery locations including military bases, medical centers, and distribution facilities across the continental United States. Procurement quantities range from single units to over 100 pieces of equipment, reflecting diverse operational needs across federal agencies.
