Packaging Machinery Manufacturing

NAICS 333993 encompasses packaging machinery manufacturing, focusing on the design, production, and distribution of specialized equipment used for packaging, wrapping, sealing, and preparing goods for shipping and storage. These machines include automated systems for creating boxes, applying strapping, shrink wrapping, vacuum sealing, and other packaging processes across various industries. The machinery ranges from small hand-operated tools to large industrial automated packaging stations capable of processing multiple items simultaneously.

Federal contract awards under this NAICS code predominantly involve the General Services Administration (GSA) and various military and veterans' agencies, with most contracts being Blanket Purchase Agreements (BPAs) and Multiple Award Schedule (MAS) vehicles. Independent Metal Strap Co Inc. appears to be a frequent awardee, receiving multiple contracts valued between $742 and $110,437, typically with performance periods of approximately one month. The awards are generally not set aside, indicating full and open competition, and involve direct delivery of packaging machinery and accessories. Most contracts are fixed-price with economic price adjustment, targeting equipment like strapping kits, steel strapping, and packaging-related components.

Recent federal contract opportunities span multiple agencies including the Department of Veterans Affairs, Department of Defense, and military branches, seeking specialized packaging machinery such as automated packing stations, shrink wrap machines, box making equipment, and vacuum sealers. These solicitations are predominantly set aside for small businesses, with a particular emphasis on women-owned small businesses and service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses. Typical requirements include specific technical capabilities like precise box dimensions, integration with existing systems, automation levels, and performance specifications. Delivery locations are diverse, including military bases in Kansas, Virginia, and international locations like Germany, with most opportunities focusing on commercial-grade packaging equipment for pharmaceutical, logistics, and military supply chain applications.
