NORTH AMERICAN INDSUTRY CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM (NAICS) CODE:

The anticipated North American Industry Classification System Code (NAICS) for this requirement is 333310, Commercial and Service Industry Machinery Manufacturing. The anticipated Product Service Code (PSC) for this requirement is 6710, Cameras, Motion Picture.

NAICS code 333310, Commercial and Service Industry Machinery Manufacturing, is a manufacturing NAICS code with a small business size standard of 1,000 employees; as such, a determination as to whether or not the contemplated purchase order will be subject to the Nonmanufacturer Rule (NMR) was required. The NMR stipulates that small business contractors supplying goods to the Government must manufacture the product itself, or supply a product manufactured by another small business (if its not a manufacturer), or supply the product of any sized manufacturer if SBA has granted a waiver to the NMR. A query of the NMR Class Waiver List, dated 01 June 2022, was conducted, and as of 28 November 2023, NAICS code 333310 is not listed on the NMR Class Waiver List; therefore, the contemplated purchase order is subject to the NMR, so small business contractors will be required either manufacture the product itself, or supply a product manufactured by another small business.
