The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code 336110 covers Automobile and Light Duty Motor Vehicle Manufacturing, which encompasses the production of passenger cars, light trucks, and utility vehicles. This category includes manufacturers that design, engineer, and produce complete vehicles or major vehicle components for commercial and government markets. The sector focuses on creating a wide range of transportation vehicles, from sedans and SUVs to specialized utility vehicles and conversion models, meeting diverse operational requirements across public and private sectors.
Recent federal contract awards under this NAICS code demonstrate significant government procurement activity, with multiple agencies acquiring vehicles through various delivery mechanisms. The General Services Administration (GSA) Federal Acquisition Service has been particularly active, awarding multiple delivery orders to companies like Brasada Ford LTD and Carter Chevrolet Agency, with contract values ranging from approximately $50,000 to $125,000 per vehicle. These awards frequently utilize firm fixed-price contract structures and often involve multiple-award indefinite delivery vehicle (IDV) contracts with total program values up to $1.178 billion. Common set-aside types include small business, service-disabled veteran-owned small business, and women-owned small business designations. Typical places of performance span multiple states, with significant activity in Texas, Oklahoma, and various military bases and federal facilities.
Federal contract opportunities in this NAICS category reflect diverse vehicle procurement needs across government agencies. Recent solicitations include requests for utility task vehicles (UTVs) for national forest services, high-roof vans for U.S. Customs and Border Protection, and specialized vehicles for diplomatic missions in locations such as Poland, Belize, and various African countries. Agencies like the Department of Veterans Affairs, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, and the Department of State are seeking vehicles with specific technical requirements, including hybrid powertrains, 4x4 configurations, and specialized conversion capabilities. Many opportunities are set aside for small businesses and emphasize technical compliance, delivery timelines, and past performance as key evaluation criteria.
