Who buys the parts you already make
Machine shops win more small federal awards than any other manufacturing category, mostly as spares, repair parts, fixtures and small lots. The record shows exactly which offices buy them and what they paid.
NAICS 332710 in numbers
Most of this code's volume goes to a few buyers, and most of it is very small. DLA Land and Maritime placed 371,828 of the 404,879 awards, but only $135.94M of the $1.71B total. NSWC Crane had the largest dollar total at $222.18M across 2,745 awards. DLA Aviation, Commander, Naval Air Warfare Center, and W6QK ACC WVA also appear among the top buyers. The notice does not say how each buyer chooses between open and restricted buys, so the mix of methods is not clear from this data.
The median award is $47, and the average works out to roughly $4,200. Most work comes in very small orders, and 1,973 distinct vendors shared the record. Most awards carry the code NONE (309,010) or no recorded code at all (84,169). The smaller codes, including SBA (11,295), 8AN (112), HZC (88), SDVOSBC (77), RSB (68), and SBP (33), are a small slice. The notice does not explain what those codes mean, so a firm should not read them as guaranteed openings. Competition looks broad on count, but the notice does not show how many bids each award drew.
For the next year, the 49 active notices and the 189 contracts ending within 12 months, worth $44.25M, are the most useful signals. Those expiring contracts may come back up for bid, but the notice does not say whether they will be recompeted, bundled, or extended. Watch the buyers with the largest dollar totals and the expiring list to see where bigger dollars may move. A firm that wants to track this code should check the active notices regularly and confirm the buyer's plans directly, since this notice does not give them.

Start with 332710, then the codes your parts actually fall under
Machine Shops (332710) is where most job-shop work is coded, but buyers often code by the end item instead: aircraft parts (336413), engine parts (336412), missile and space vehicle parts (336419), valves and fittings (332912), hardware (332510), fixtures and tooling (333514), precision turned products (332721). Watch your primary code and two or three end-item codes and the record fills in.
- Set-aside share by code and buyer
- Award size bands: most machined-part awards are small and recurring
- PSC codes that pair with your NAICS, so you search by what the part is
What the history tends to show
Defense Logistics Agency activities buy machined spares in high volume through automated solicitations, often as small business set-asides, often to the same handful of approved sources until someone new qualifies. Depots and warfare centers buy fixtures, tooling and repair parts in small lots. NASA centers buy ground support and test hardware. Prime contractors buy the rest and it never shows in the federal record as a federal award, which is why the supplier directory and the buyer profiles matter for teaming.
Use the size bands and the median before you quote. A shop that prices from its commercial book without looking at the history is usually either too high for the small buys or too low for the qualified ones.
CMMC, NIST SP 800-171 and SPRS
Defense notices name their cyber rules by clause number. We read them and check them against your CMMC certification, your NIST SP 800-171 plan and your SPRS score, before you bid. What you can perform shows each with how long it takes to close.
