Totalizing Fluid Meter and Counting Device Manufacturing

NAICS 334514 (Totalizing Fluid Meter and Counting Device Manufacturing) encompasses the production of specialized electronic and mechanical measurement instruments designed to quantify fluid flow, electrical characteristics, and precision instrumentation. These devices include meters, sensors, transmitters, indicators, and calibration equipment used across defense, marine, aviation, and scientific research applications. The category focuses on manufacturing precision electronic and mechanical components that measure, track, and report various physical and electrical parameters with high accuracy.

Recent federal contract awards under this NAICS code demonstrate significant defense procurement activity, with the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation and Land and Maritime divisions being primary purchasers. Typical contract values range from several hundred to several hundred thousand dollars, with most awards being firm fixed-price purchase orders or delivery orders. Frequently awarded entities include small businesses such as Fotronic Corporation, Kampi Components Co Inc., TNL Sales LLC, and Winzer Corporation. Common set-asides include total small business, woman-owned small business, and service-disabled veteran-owned small business designations. Performance locations predominantly involve DLA distribution centers across the United States, with delivery timelines typically spanning 80-485 days after order placement.

Recent federal contract opportunities continue to emphasize precision measurement equipment procurement, primarily by the Defense Logistics Agency Aviation and Land and Maritime divisions. Solicitations target specific technical components like electromagnetic flow sensors, liquid transmitters, signal processors, and calibration test sets. Most opportunities are set aside for small businesses, with electronic quote submissions required and strict technical specifications governing acceptable sources. Requested quantities typically range from 1-671 units, with delivery destinations predominantly at various DLA distribution centers. Procurement timelines for these opportunities generally span 13-171 days, reflecting the specialized nature of the required instrumentation and the military's precise technical requirements.
