Computer and Peripheral Equipment Manufacturing

NAICS 33411 (Computer and Peripheral Equipment Manufacturing) encompasses the production of computer hardware, including servers, workstations, laptops, monitors, and associated peripheral devices. This category focuses on designing, manufacturing, and assembling electronic computing equipment for enterprise, government, and consumer markets. Manufacturers in this sector develop sophisticated computing technologies that support complex computational, networking, and data storage requirements across multiple industries.

Federal Contract Awards in this category demonstrate significant government investment in computing infrastructure, with contract values ranging from $10,000 to over $1.5 million. Frequently awarded contractors include CDW Government LLC, Dell Federal Systems, Iron Bow Technologies, Crystal Group, and Countertrade Products. The Department of Veterans Affairs, Department of Defense, NASA, and various civilian agencies consistently procure computer hardware through these awards. Many contracts utilize small business set-asides, particularly targeting service-disabled veteran-owned, women-owned, and HUBZone businesses. Common performance locations include military bases, federal research centers, and government administrative facilities across the United States.

Recent federal contract opportunities emphasize specialized computing equipment for specific agency requirements. Solicitations include requests for servers, laptops, workstations, network equipment, and peripheral devices for agencies such as the Indian Health Service, Department of the Navy, Department of Energy, and Veterans Health Administration. Many opportunities focus on precise technical specifications, requiring vendors to provide brand-specific or equivalent hardware with comprehensive warranty and support services. Procurement methods include total small business set-asides, brand name or equivalent solicitations, and sole-source acquisitions targeting specific technological needs across research, administrative, and operational environments.
