Carbon and Graphite Product Manufacturing

The NAICS 335991 category encompasses Carbon and Graphite Product Manufacturing, focusing on the production of specialized electrical and electronic components made from carbon and graphite materials. These products include electrical brushes, contact assemblies, electrodes, ring segments, grounding assemblies, and various electrical holders critical to military and aerospace equipment. Manufacturers in this category produce precision-engineered components designed to meet stringent military specification standards, often requiring specialized manufacturing capabilities and quality control processes.

Federal Contract Awards in this category predominantly feature the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation as the primary contracting authority, with purchase orders and delivery orders typically ranging from $1,000 to $750,000. Most awards are firm fixed-price contracts with performance periods between 35 and 426 days. Frequently awarded entities include small businesses like Miraj Corp, Pioneer Industries, Dreamfind Inc., and FBC Enterprises, many of which hold multiple Indefinite Delivery Contracts (IDCs) with DLA. Awards are commonly not set aside, though some are designated for total small business or specific socioeconomic categories like service-disabled veteran-owned or women-owned small businesses. Performance locations are primarily within the continental United States, with delivery to various DLA distribution centers.

Recent Federal Contract Opportunities continue to focus on electrical and electronic components, with solicitations primarily from DLA Aviation and Naval Supply Systems Command. Opportunities typically request quantities ranging from 15 to 314 units of specialized components like electrical brushes, ring assemblies, grounding assemblies, and electrode components. Most solicitations are Request for Quote (RFQ) processes, with delivery timelines between 35 and 261 days, and are often categorized under the Carbon and Graphite Product Manufacturing NAICS code. The opportunities demonstrate a consistent demand for precision-engineered electrical components supporting military logistics, maintenance, and operational readiness across various branches of the U.S. military.
