Federal obligations in speed changer, industrial high-speed drive, and gear manufacturing (NAICS 333612)

Industrial gears and speed changers at $814.0 million

Federal industrial and depot buyers purchase speed changers, high-speed drives, and gears from manufacturers classified in 333612. Tagged obligations sum to $813,985,866.12. That is not a count of gear sets installed. Unit counts are not in the packet facts.

333613 (mechanical power transmission equipment) is the neighboring industrial code for couplings, chains, and related transmission hardware not classified as speed changers or gears. 336350 is motor vehicle transmissions. $813,985,866.12 is 333612 only, on 3,557 awards.

3,557 awards and a mid industrial average

Three thousand five hundred fifty-seven awards against $813,985,866.12 averages about $229,000 per action. That sits between 333613’s catalog-like average in this slice and concentrated capital-machinery residuals. Spare gears and complete speed-changer units can share the code. The industry hub shows the mix behind $813,985,866.12.

This guide does not name ship classes, mill types, or primes. Packet facts are the dollar total and the 3,557 count.

Industrial gears versus vehicle transmissions

A mill gearbox manufacturer should generally be 333612. A motor-vehicle transmission manufacturer should be 336350. Dual-role shops can be tagged either way. The $813,985,866.12 follows the 333612 tag as recorded on 3,557 actions.

Assistance awards may not carry NAICS. A grant that stocks an industrial training shop will usually miss this manufacturing rollup.

A complete citation of this industry is $813,985,866.12 in USAspending contract obligations tagged to NAICS 333612, speed changer, industrial high-speed drive, and gear manufacturing, on 3,557 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 $813,985,866.12 and 3,557.

Obligations on gear lots

Gear contracts often obligate a quantity or a repairable pipeline and pay on delivery or overhaul completion. The $813,985,866.12 is committed value on 3,557 tagged actions, not cash already paid for every set. Cancellations de-obligate. Outlay fields track payments.

Classification errors are expected at the margin. Vendors that straddle motor-vehicle transmissions and the broader 333613 transmission-hardware code may land in 333612 on some actions and in a neighbor on others. 333613 covers other mechanical power transmission equipment; 336350 covers vehicle power trains. The public-record stance is to keep $813,985,866.12 attached to 333612 as tagged, then compare 3,557 gear rows to 333613 and 336350 without merging the three unlabeled. Re-tagging the extract by hand is out of scope for this overlay.

Hub navigation

Open the speed changer, industrial high-speed drive, and gear manufacturing industry page for the 3,557 awards behind $813,985,866.12. Use the all-industries directory for 333613 and 336350 without merging their dollars into this gear total. Source: USAspending.gov contract awards.

Industrial gears stay separate from vehicle power trains

Award count interprets the buying pattern. 3,557 actions producing $813,985,866.12 is thousands of industrial gear and speed-changer orders, with about $229,000 per action as the simple average. That average hides mix: modifications, options, and delivery orders all increment count. 3,557 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 $813,985,866.12 across 3,557 tagged speed changer, industrial high-speed drive, and gear 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 speed changer, industrial high-speed drive, and gear 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 $813,985,866.12, 3,557, the obligation unit, and the boundary around motor-vehicle transmissions and the broader 333613 transmission-hardware code.

Questions

How much federal contracting is coded to industrial gear and speed-changer manufacturing?

NAICS 333612 shows $813,985,866.12 in obligations on 3,557 USAspending contract awards. That is industrial gears, speed changers, and high-speed drives as tagged, not vehicle transmissions. The unit is obligations, not outlays. Quote it as USAspending contract obligations tagged to NAICS 333612, not as cash outlays. Assistance awards may not carry NAICS, so grants remain outside the 3,557-award extract behind $813,985,866.12.

Is this the same as NAICS 333613 power transmission equipment?

No. 333613 is mechanical power transmission equipment not classified as speed changers or gears. This page’s $813,985,866.12 is 333612 on 3,557 tagged awards. Open 333613 separately. 333613 covers other mechanical power transmission equipment; 336350 covers vehicle power trains. Keep $813,985,866.12 attached to 333612 as tagged on 3,557 actions; do not merge neighbor codes into the same unlabeled cell.

Does 333612 include motor vehicle transmissions?

Not by design. Vehicle power-train parts are NAICS 336350. This page follows the 333612 industrial-gear tag. Dual-role vendors may be coded either way; award descriptions on the hub are the check. That pattern is thousands of industrial gear and speed-changer orders, with about $229,000 per action as the simple average of $813,985,866.12 over 3,557 awards. Compare 3,557 gear rows to 333613 and 336350 without merging the three unlabeled.

Are shop-equipment grants included?

Usually not. Assistance awards may not carry NAICS, so they fall outside this 3,557-award contract extract. Use program pages for grants. This industry guide covers tagged contracts only: $813,985,866.12 obligated on 3,557 speed changer, industrial high-speed drive, and gear manufacturing awards in USAspending. Outlays are a different field; assistance without NAICS is a different award type.
