Federal obligations in machine tool manufacturing (NAICS 333517)

$640.0M in federal contract obligations is tagged to machine tool manufacturing, NAICS 333517, across 1,777 awards in USAspending.gov data indexed here. The machinery code covers machine tools—not residual industrial machinery and not turbine generator sets. Dollars are obligations, not outlays. Assistance awards may not carry NAICS, so grant-funded shop equipment that never becomes a contract sits outside this total.

Key figures

  • NAICS 333517 contract obligations are $640.0M on 1,777 awards.
  • The code is machine tools, not residual industrial machinery or turbines.
  • Average action size is about $360,000.
  • Figures are USAspending obligations, not outlays or machine counts.
  • Assistance without NAICS is excluded.

Machine tools as capital equipment at $640.0M

Federal depots and shops buy lathes, mills, and related machine tools from manufacturers in 333517. Tagged obligations sum to $640.0M on 1,777 awards. The total is not a count of machines on the floor and not a count of cutting hours.

All other industrial machinery manufacturing (333248) is the residual machinery class. Turbine and turbine generator set manufacturing (333611) is a named power-equipment line. $640.0M follows the 333517 machine-tool tag. Packet facts are the dollar total and the 1,777 count.

1,777 awards and a shop-equipment average

One thousand seven hundred seventy-seven awards against $640.0M averages about $360,000 per action. Complete machine tools can sit above that; accessories, rebuilds, and modifications pull it down. 1,777 is not unique OEMs and not unique serials.

Amount sort on the industry hub shows whether a few large mill or lathe lots dominate $640.0M or whether accessories thicken the 1,777 count. Treat $360,000 as a divider, not a sticker price.

Shop-floor capital equipment sits between spare parts and power turbines. $640.0M on 1,777 awards is the 333517 machine-tool tag. Residual industrial machinery is the leftover factory class 333248. Accessories inside the 1,777 file pull the simple average off a complete mill price.

Machine tools versus residual machinery and turbines

333517 is machine tools. 333248 is leftover industrial machinery. 333611 is turbines. Dual-role machinery firms can be tagged in more than one of those codes. $640.0M stays with 333517 on 1,777 tagged actions.

Cite this industry as $640.0M in USAspending contract obligations tagged to NAICS 333517, machine tool manufacturing, on 1,777 awards. The packet has no fiscal year. Live tables can move; the harvested pair remains $640.0M and 1,777.

The harvested pair for this overlay remains $640.0M and 1,777 tagged machine-tool awards in USAspending contract obligations, not turbine or residual-machinery dollars.

Obligation timing on machine lots

Capital-equipment contracts often obligate a machine and pay on factory acceptance and delivery. $640.0M is committed value on 1,777 tagged actions, not cash already paid for every tool. Cancellations de-obligate. Outlays track payments separately.

Keep $640.0M attached to 333517 as tagged. This overlay does not merge residual-machinery or turbine dollars into the machine-tool cell. Read descriptions on the 1,777 rows where the hub allows.

Assistance without NAICS remains outside even when a grant buys similar shop equipment. Internal links on this file point only to the 333517 industry page and the all-industries directory.

Machine tools are a named machinery line. Residual industrial machinery (333248) and turbines (333611) are different factory titles. $640.0M on 1,777 awards stays with 333517. Serial lists and cutting hours are not in the packet. The about $360,000 average mixes complete tools and accessories. Source: USAspending.gov contract awards.

Shop tools versus residual machinery and turbines

A mill, a leftover industrial machine, and a turbine generator set are three factory titles. $640.0M on 1,777 awards is the 333517 machine-tool tag. Residual industrial machinery (333248) and turbines (333611) stay on their own hubs. Cutting hours and serial lists are not in the packet.

The about $360,000 average mixes complete tools and accessories. Amount sort on the machine tool manufacturing industry page separates large lots from the accessory tail inside 1,777 awards. 1,777 is not unique OEMs.

Questions

How much federal contracting is coded to machine tool manufacturing?
NAICS 333517 shows $640.0M in obligations on 1,777 USAspending contract awards. That is machine tools as tagged, not residual industrial machinery or turbines. The unit is obligations, not outlays or machine counts. Assistance awards may not carry NAICS, so grants remain outside the 1,777-award extract behind $640.0M.
Does 333517 include turbine manufacturing?
No. Turbine and turbine generator set units manufacturing is NAICS 333611. Residual industrial machinery is 333248. This page’s $640.0M is the 333517 machine-tool tag on 1,777 awards. Keep those neighbor machinery codes on their own industry pages.
Is $360,000 the price of a mill?
No. Dividing $640.0M by 1,777 awards yields about $360,000 per action. Complete tools, accessories, and modifications mix in that average. It is not unique OEMs and not unique serials. Sort the hub by amount to see large lots versus smaller accessory tickets inside the tagged total.
Are shop-equipment grants included?
Usually not. Assistance awards may not carry NAICS, so they fall outside this 1,777-award contract extract. Use program pages for grants. This industry guide covers tagged contracts only: $640.0M obligated on 1,777 machine tool manufacturing awards in USAspending. Outlays are a different field.
