Product Service Code (PSC) 3416 covers lathes, which are machine tools used for cutting, sanding, knurling, drilling, or deformation of materials, typically metal, wood, or plastic. These precision instruments are critical for manufacturing, machining, and fabrication processes across various industries, including aerospace, defense, automotive, and manufacturing. Lathes enable the creation of cylindrical parts by rotating a workpiece around a fixed cutting tool, allowing for precise shaping and finishing of components.

Federal Contract Awards for PSC 3416 demonstrate significant government investment in advanced machining capabilities. The awards range from $10,000 to over $3.5 million, with most contracts falling between $50,000 and $500,000. Common funding agencies include the Department of Defense (Army, Navy, Air Force), Department of Transportation, and Department of Homeland Security. Frequently awarded entities include Phillips Corporation, DMG Mori Federal Services, Southwestern Industries, and Reinen Machine Sales. Many awards are set aside for small businesses, particularly woman-owned and service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses. Typical places of performance include military bases, naval shipyards, research laboratories, and manufacturing facilities across the United States, with concentrations in California, Washington, Maryland, and New York.

Recent Federal Contract Opportunities continue to reflect robust demand for advanced lathe technologies. Agencies are seeking specialized equipment such as CNC lathes with multi-axis capabilities, Swiss-style turning centers, manual precision lathes, and portable lathe machines. Key solicitations include the Army's requirement for a 12-Axis Swiss Turning Center Lathe, the Air Force's request for a Tool Room Lathe, and the Defense Logistics Agency's procurement of CNC Turning Centers. Most opportunities are set aside for small businesses and target highly technical machining equipment with specific performance requirements. Performance locations include military research centers, maintenance facilities, and manufacturing sites, primarily in states like Maryland, Arizona, Washington, and New York.
