Federal obligations in other commercial and service industry machinery (NAICS 333319)

Why 183 awards still sum to $1.20 billion

Dividing $1,203,514,135.10 by 183 awards yields about $6.58 million per action. That average is far above catalog-parts codes and in line with capital equipment and specialized commercial machinery. “Other” in the NAICS title means the Census residual: commercial and service-industry machines that are not broken out into a more specific six-digit code. Federal buyers still use 333319 when that residual is the best match for the manufacturer’s primary industry.

A low award count does not mean the industry is small in dollars. It means the tagged contract set is 183 actions. One or several large production or systems awards can dominate the $1,203,514,135.10. This guide does not name those awards; the industry hub lists the rows. The packet facts are only the total and the count.

What “other commercial and service industry machinery” covers

The category is manufacturing of commercial and service-industry machines not classified elsewhere in the 3333 family—examples in Census documentation include various service-industry machines that are not laundry, vending, or optical equipment broken out separately. On a federal award, the code follows the vendor, not a colloquial product nickname. Two contracts that a lay reader would both call “machines” can land in 333319 and in a neighboring 333xxx code.

Because 333319 is a residual, it is a poor place to assume a single product story. The $1,203,514,135.10 is the tagged obligation sum. Product-level narrative belongs in award descriptions on the industry page, not in invented SKUs here.

Obligations, not outlays, on capital machinery

Machinery contracts often obligate a production lot or a multi-year buy while payments follow inspection and delivery. The $1,203,514,135.10 is the commitment total on 183 tagged actions. Outlays can lag. Modifications can cut or add ceiling. Mixing obligation totals with an agency’s cash outlays will double-count or mis-time the same work.

Assistance awards may not carry NAICS. A grant that lets a nonfederal entity buy commercial machinery will usually miss 333319 even if the hardware is identical to a contract buy. Keep award type in view when comparing this industry to a program page.

A complete citation of this industry is $1,203,514,135.10 in USAspending contract obligations tagged to NAICS 333319, other commercial and service industry machinery manufacturing, on 183 awards. Anything less—dropping the NAICS, dropping the word obligations, or dropping the contract-only universe—overstates what the extract contains. The packet facts do not include a fiscal year, so this guide does not invent one. Live tables on the industry hub can move when USAspending posts modifications; the harvested pair remains $1,203,514,135.10 and 183.

How to use the 333319 hub

The industry page for other commercial and service industry machinery manufacturing is the overlay target. Sort the 183 awards by amount if the question is concentration. This overlay states the USAspending source, the obligation unit, and the residual-code warning. It does not add fiscal years or agency ranks that are not in the facts object.

Classification errors are expected at the margin. Vendors that straddle HVAC equipment, industrial trucks, and overhead cranes, which have their own 333 codes may land in 333319 on some actions and in a neighbor on others. Because 333319 is a Census residual, product mix can shift when NAICS is revised. The public-record stance is to keep $1,203,514,135.10 attached to 333319 as tagged, then open all 183 rows; a residual this concentrated is meant to be read as a short list. Re-tagging the extract by hand is out of scope for this overlay.

Residual-code caution

Residual NAICS codes collect what other codes do not. Time series on 333319 can jump when Census revises the NAICS structure or when contracting officers migrate to a more specific code. The $1,203,514,135.10 and 183 awards are the current tagged extract, not a promise that next year’s residual will contain the same product mix.

Residual machinery codes need row-level reading

Award count interprets the buying pattern. 183 actions producing $1,203,514,135.10 is a small set of large capital-equipment instruments, with about $6.58 million per action as the simple average. That average hides mix: modifications, options, and delivery orders all increment count. 183 is not a count of unique companies and not a count of physical units. Use the hub amount sort to see whether a few large rows plus a long tail make up most of the tagged total.

Outlays remain a separate USAspending concept. An agency can obligate $1,203,514,135.10 across 183 tagged other commercial and service industry machinery manufacturing actions and pay on a different calendar. De-obligations after cancellations reduce the obligation ledger; they do not rewrite the fact that this NAICS has been a large tagged category in the harvest. Assistance without NAICS still sits outside even when the real-world activity looks similar. Program pages answer the grant question; this page answers the tagged-contract question.

Internal links on this file point only to the other commercial and service industry machinery manufacturing industry page and the all-industries directory. Those are the packet hrefs. Neighboring industry codes mentioned in prose are classification context only. Source note, copied from the packet: NAICS from USAspending contract awards. Assistance awards may not carry NAICS. The overlay’s job is to state $1,203,514,135.10, 183, the obligation unit, and the boundary around HVAC equipment, industrial trucks, and overhead cranes, which have their own 333 codes.

Questions

How much federal contracting is coded to NAICS 333319?

USAspending shows $1,203,514,135.10 in obligations on 183 contract awards tagged to other commercial and service industry machinery manufacturing. That is a concentrated award set. The total is obligations, not outlays. Quote it as USAspending contract obligations tagged to NAICS 333319, not as cash outlays. Assistance awards may not carry NAICS, so grants remain outside the 183-award extract behind $1,203,514,135.10.

Why so few awards for more than a billion dollars?

183 actions against $1,203,514,135.10 averages about $6.58 million. Capital machinery and specialized commercial equipment are often bought in larger instruments than nuts-and-bolts catalogs. The industry table shows whether a few rows dominate the total. Because 333319 is a Census residual, product mix can shift when NAICS is revised. Keep $1,203,514,135.10 attached to 333319 as tagged on 183 actions; do not merge neighbor codes into the same unlabeled cell.

What products sit in “other” commercial machinery?

It is a Census residual for commercial and service-industry machinery manufacturing not classified in a more specific code. This guide does not inventory SKUs. The $1,203,514,135.10 follows the 333319 tag on 183 USAspending contract actions. That pattern is a small set of large capital-equipment instruments, with about $6.58 million per action as the simple average of $1,203,514,135.10 over 183 awards. Open all 183 rows; a residual this concentrated is meant to be read as a short list.

Do grants for equipment show up here?

Often no. Assistance awards may not carry NAICS, so they are outside this 183-award contract rollup. Use program pages for grant-funded equipment and this industry page for tagged contracts. This industry guide covers tagged contracts only: $1,203,514,135.10 obligated on 183 other commercial and service industry machinery manufacturing awards in USAspending. Outlays are a different field; assistance without NAICS is a different award type.
