The NAICS Category 335921 - Fiber Optic Cable Manufacturing encompasses the production of fiber optic cables, which are specialized communication infrastructure components designed to transmit data through light signals. These cables are critical for telecommunications, networking, military, aerospace, and scientific research applications. Manufacturers in this category produce various types of fiber optic cables, including single-mode and multi-mode configurations, with specific technical specifications for signal transmission, durability, and environmental performance.

Federal Contract Awards in this category demonstrate significant diversity, with procurement values ranging from under $1,000 to nearly $400,000, and durations typically spanning several months to one year. The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA), Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA), and various military branches are the most frequent awarding agencies. Many awards are designated as small business set-asides, particularly for woman-owned, veteran-owned, and service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses. Common contractors include specialized firms like 2Lyons Aerospace, Rev-Cap Company, FIS Blue, and Stratus Systems. Places of performance are predominantly within the United States, with concentrations in military installations, research facilities, and technology centers.

Recent Federal Contract Opportunities reveal a broad spectrum of fiber optic cable requirements across government agencies. The U.S. Air Force, Naval Research Laboratory, Army Research Laboratory, and Department of Commerce have solicited procurements for specialized fiber optic cables, cable assemblies, and related infrastructure components. Requirements range from precise scientific research applications, such as scintillating fibers for particle physics research, to tactical military communication systems and network infrastructure upgrades. Most opportunities are set aside for small businesses, utilize Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) evaluation methods, and require detailed technical specifications, manufacturer authorizations, and compliance with various federal acquisition regulations.
