Drafting Services

NAICS 54134 covers drafting services, which encompass a wide range of technical drawing and design activities for various industries and government agencies. These services include creating detailed technical illustrations, computer-aided design (CAD) drawings, patent drawings, architectural plans, as-built documentation, engineering schematics, and other precision graphic representations across multiple sectors such as naval technology, infrastructure, research and development, and facility management.

Federal contract awards for drafting services under this NAICS code typically range from $1,400 to $645,516, with contract durations spanning several months to multiple years. Common funding agencies include the Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command, Department of Defense, Department of Veterans Affairs, and Department of Energy. Many awards are set aside for small businesses, particularly woman-owned, minority-owned, service-disabled veteran-owned, and 8(a) certified enterprises. Frequently awarded entities include McCoy Russell LLP, Artworks IP LLC, Strategic Defense Solutions, and Coley & Associates. Performance locations are predominantly in states like Virginia, Oregon, California, and Washington, with some international work such as patent drawing production for naval technologies.

The contract awards demonstrate diverse drafting service requirements, including patent application drawings, architectural plan updates, as-built documentation for military facilities, computer-aided design services for infrastructure projects, technical schematics for naval research programs, and specialized graphic design work for federal agency facilities. Many contracts focus on supporting research and development efforts, intellectual property protection, facility maintenance documentation, and technical visualization across military, healthcare, and engineering domains.
