NAICS 333314 optical instrument and lens manufacturing obligations

Optics as a manufacturing buy

One thousand twenty-two awards produced $5,739,893,947.27 in obligations. The mean of about $5.6 million is high relative to high-volume electronics-component codes and ordinary for specialized optical production lots. The Census title covers optical instruments and lenses. Contracting officers pick 333314 when that manufacturing is the principal purpose.

Precision equipment repair (811219) measures upkeep of electronic and precision gear, not new optical manufacturing. Surgical and medical instrument manufacturing (339112) is a different goods code. Those hubs are not inside this $5.7 billion.

The packet does not count lenses, sensors, or apertures. Public descriptions can be thin on classified or dual-use optics while still showing dollars and NAICS. Those tagged actions still sit in the total.

Instrument manufacturing NAICS codes split optics from surgical instruments. Optical instrument and lens manufacturing (333314) holds $5,739,893,947.27 on 1,022 awards, about $5.6 million per award. Surgical and medical instrument manufacturing (339112) has 36,831 awards at a ~$153,122 mean. Precision equipment repair (811219) is a services tag. This $5.7 billion is optical manufacturing tagged 333314.

Production obligations versus deliveries paid

Optical production lots often obligate at award and pay on inspection. Custom instruments can span years. This packet does not split those types. The $5.7 billion is the obligation sum, not a warehouse of lenses already paid for.

The 1,022-award count is not a unit count. One award can cover a production lot. Dividing dollars by awards is not a lens price.

Custom optical instruments can span years, which is why obligation-versus-outlay language matters. The packet still publishes only obligations. Public descriptions can be thin on some optics rows while dollars still count in the 1,022 awards.

Nearby instrument and repair codes

Surgical and medical instrument manufacturing (339112) and other electronic component manufacturing (334419) are different six-digit classes. Repair NAICS 811219 is a services class. Adding those pages to $5,739,893,947.27 would mix tags the source keeps apart.

Research grants that buy optics for universities often lack NAICS and do not enter this industry total.

How to use the 333314 hub

Read $5.7 billion and 1,022 awards as the optical-manufacturing tag, then rank instrument-manufacturing codes on the all-industries index. Open the optical instrument and lens manufacturing industry page for rows.

Do not infer inventories from the title. The aggregate measures tagged contract obligations.

Classification limits

Cameras, sensors, and medical optics can share 333314 or land in a medical-instrument code depending on principal purpose. SpendingVault does not recode those choices.

Extract updates will move $5,739,893,947.27 and 1,022 with USAspending.

How to keep repair and medical instruments out of the optics total

Repairing an optic tagged 811219 is not a 333314 manufacturing award. A surgical instrument tagged 339112 is not a 333314 optical award. Readers summing “federal instruments” from several codes mix classes the source keeps apart.

Open the optical instrument and lens manufacturing industry page for descriptions. Rank instrument-manufacturing codes on the all-industries index. Cite USAspending.gov. Do not convert $5.6 million into a lens price. Assistance without NAICS is excluded. No unit count appears in the packet.

Optical instrument manufacturing at $5,739,893,947.27 on 1,022 awards is a specialized goods tag. The mean of about $5.6 million is not a lens price. Surgical-instrument manufacturing and precision-equipment repair are different classes.

Public descriptions can be thin on some optics rows while dollars still count in the 1,022 awards. Open the optical instrument and lens manufacturing industry page for whatever description fields USAspending populated. Cite the source. Assistance that funds university instruments often lacks NAICS. Custom lots can show obligations ahead of inspection payments.

One thousand twenty-two optical-manufacturing awards at $5,739,893,947.27 are specialized goods contracts. Surgical instruments and precision-equipment repair are other classes. A thin description can still sit inside the $5.7 billion. Open the optical instrument and lens manufacturing industry page. Cite USAspending.gov. University instrument grants often omit NAICS. Custom lots can obligate early and pay on inspection.

The 1,022-award count next to $5,739,893,947.27 is a specialized manufacturing book. Rank optics among instrument codes by dollars, then check award count so the book is not mistaken for a high-volume supply NAICS. Those two packet facts — 1,022 awards and $5.7 billion obligated — are the whole quantitative claim this guide is allowed to make.

Questions

How much is obligated under NAICS 333314?

Optical instrument and lens manufacturing contracts in USAspending show $5,739,893,947.27 in obligations across 1,022 awards. That is a manufacturing tag, not precision-equipment repair. The figure is obligations, not outlays. Assistance without NAICS is excluded. Award rows are on the industry page.

What is the average optical-manufacturing award?

Dividing $5,739,893,947.27 by 1,022 awards yields about $5.6 million. That mean is not a price per lens. Production lots and custom instruments share the average. The packet does not publish a median or a unit count. Inspect award-level amounts on the industry page rather than treating $5.6 million as a catalog price per lens.

Does this include repairing optical equipment?

Only if the officer tagged repair as 333314. Other electronic and precision equipment repair is NAICS 811219, a separate hub. This $5.7 billion is the optical manufacturing tag. Use the repair page for 811219 dollars. Use the 811219 hub for precision-equipment repair and this hub for optical manufacturing.

Are university optics grants in this total?

Usually no. Assistance awards often omit NAICS and therefore do not enter $5.7 billion. This aggregate is built from contract awards tagged 333314. Program pages are the better surface for grant-funded instruments. Program pages remain the better surface for grant-funded instruments that never received NAICS 333314.
