Federal obligations in fluid power valve and hose fitting manufacturing (NAICS 332912)
$730.7M in federal contract obligations is tagged to fluid power valve and hose fitting manufacturing, NAICS 332912, across 6,783 awards in USAspending.gov data indexed here. The fabricated-metal code covers hydraulic and pneumatic valves and hose fittings—not industrial process valves and not residual metal fittings. Dollars are obligations, not outlays. Assistance awards may not carry NAICS, so grant-funded parts that never become contracts sit outside this total.
Key figures
- NAICS 332912 contract obligations are $730.7M on 6,783 awards.
- The code is fluid-power valves and hose fittings, not industrial valves.
- Average action size is about $108,000.
- Figures are USAspending obligations, not outlays or part counts.
- Assistance without NAICS is excluded.
Hydraulic and pneumatic fittings at $730.7M
Fluid-power systems on aircraft, vehicles, and plant equipment use valves and hose fittings made under 332912. Federal buyers tag $730.7M of contract obligations to that manufacturing NAICS on 6,783 awards. The total is not a count of fittings and not a count of hydraulic circuits.
Industrial valve manufacturing (332911) and other metal valve and pipe fitting manufacturing (332919) are sibling fabricated-metal codes. $730.7M follows the 332912 fluid-power tag. Packet facts are the dollar total and the 6,783 count. Pressure ratings and part numbers are not in the harvest.
6,783 awards and a parts-lot average
Six thousand seven hundred eighty-three awards against $730.7M averages about $108,000 per action. Complete valve assemblies can sit above that; small hose-fitting tickets pull it down. 6,783 is not unique manufacturers and not unique SKUs.
Spare-parts contracting inflates award count relative to a few large OEM lots. Amount sort on the industry hub separates those large rows from the long tail that makes up much of 6,783. Treat $108,000 as a divider, not a catalog price.
Aircraft and vehicle hydraulic shops generate many small 332912 actions. That is the 6,783-count pattern under $730.7M. Industrial process valves remain 332911 even when the same parent company makes both. The overlay does not merge those factory lines.
Fluid power versus industrial and other metal valves
332912 is fluid-power valves and hose fittings. 332911 is industrial valves. 332919 is other metal valves and pipe fittings. Dual-role metal shops can be tagged in more than one of those codes. $730.7M stays with 332912 on 6,783 tagged actions.
Cite this industry as $730.7M in USAspending contract obligations tagged to NAICS 332912, fluid power valve and hose fitting manufacturing, on 6,783 awards. No fiscal year is in the packet. Live tables can move; the harvested pair remains $730.7M and 6,783.
Obligations on metal lots
Parts contracts often obligate a quantity and pay on inspection. $730.7M is committed value on 6,783 tagged actions, not cash already paid for every fitting. Cancellations de-obligate. Outlays track payments separately.
Mis-tags occur at the industrial-valve boundary. Keep $730.7M attached to 332912 as tagged, then inspect the 6,783 descriptions. This overlay does not merge 332911 or 332919 dollars into the fluid-power cell.

Assistance without NAICS remains outside even when a grant buys similar hydraulic parts. Internal links on this file point only to the 332912 industry page and the all-industries directory.
Hydraulic and pneumatic fittings are not industrial process valves. $730.7M on 6,783 awards is the 332912 fluid-power tag. Sibling codes 332911 and 332919 must stay on their own hubs. Part numbers and pressure ratings are not in the facts. The about $108,000 average mixes assemblies and small hose fittings. Source: USAspending.gov contract awards.
Hydraulic fittings versus industrial and residual valves
Fluid-power hardware and industrial process valves share metal shops and still split across 332911, 332912, and 332919. $730.7M on 6,783 awards is the 332912 fluid-power tag only. Pressure ratings and hose diameters are not in the packet. The about $108,000 average mixes assemblies and small fittings.
Spare-parts delivery orders inflate 6,783 relative to unique manufacturers. Amount sort on the fluid power valve and hose fitting manufacturing industry page finds large lots inside $730.7M among the parts tail. Bearings (332991) are a different small-parts metal code.

Questions
- How much federal contracting is coded to fluid power valve manufacturing?
- NAICS 332912 shows $730.7M in obligations on 6,783 USAspending contract awards. That is fluid-power valves and hose fittings as tagged, not industrial process valves. The unit is obligations, not outlays or part counts. Assistance awards may not carry NAICS, so grants remain outside the 6,783-award extract behind $730.7M.
- Does 332912 include industrial valves?
- No. Industrial valve manufacturing is NAICS 332911. Other metal valve and pipe fitting manufacturing is 332919. This page’s $730.7M is the 332912 fluid-power tag on 6,783 awards. Keep those sibling fabricated-metal codes on their own industry pages.
- What does the $108,000 average represent?
- Dividing $730.7M by 6,783 awards yields about $108,000 per action. Complete assemblies, small fittings, and modifications mix in that average. It is not unique manufacturers and not unique SKUs. Sort the hub by amount to see large lots versus the parts tail inside the tagged total.
- Are parts grants included?
- Usually not. Assistance awards may not carry NAICS, so they fall outside this 6,783-award contract extract. Use program pages for grants. This industry guide covers tagged contracts only: $730.7M obligated on 6,783 fluid power valve and hose fitting manufacturing awards in USAspending. Outlays are a different field.
