What this code covers
Census assigns 333514 to plants that make special dies and tools, die sets, jigs, and fixtures for use with machine tools, presses, and assembly lines. Cutting tools such as drills and end mills, and molds for plastics, have their own codes. The work is custom by nature: one tool for one part.
For defense and aerospace that means assembly and welding fixtures, holding and inspection fixtures, check gauges built as fixtures, forming and blanking dies for sheet metal, forging dies, bonding tools, and the special tooling that depots use to repair a specific aircraft or vehicle component.
What federal buyers typically ask for
Depots, fleet readiness centers, air logistics complexes, and arsenals post most tooling notices, usually as build-to-print fixtures and special tools for a repair line. NASA centers post fixtures for test and assembly. DLA posts some special tools by stock number. Much tooling demand is indirect: a shop that wins a part contract needs fixtures and dies and buys them from you.
Quality terms center on the tool doing its job. Expect a certificate of conformance, dimensional inspection of locating features, hardness certs on tool steel, and often a tryout with the customer's part. Tooling drawings for weapon systems are commonly export controlled. When the government owns the tool it is tagged and tracked as government property, with reporting duties for whoever holds it. Heat treat and plating callouts follow the same rules as production parts.
Total small business set-asides are common, because tooling buys are usually small and local shops can perform.

Before you bid
Ask whether a tryout part will be furnished. A fixture that must be proven on a real component you do not have can stall acceptance for months.
