Federal obligations in mechanical power transmission equipment manufacturing (NAICS 333613)

Mechanical power transmission equipment manufacturing, NAICS 333613, shows $908,189,489.39 in federal contract obligations on 13,565 awards in USAspending.gov extracts indexed here. The industry is manufacturing of mechanical power transmission equipment—plain bearings, couplings, chains, and related transmission hardware not classified as speed changers or gears in a more specific code. Dollars are obligations, not outlays. Assistance awards may not carry NAICS, so grant-funded shop equipment that never becomes a contract misses this total.

Key figures

  • NAICS 333613 contract obligations are $908,189,489.39 on 13,565 awards.
  • The code is industrial mechanical power transmission equipment, not vehicle power trains.
  • Average action size is about $67,000—a catalog pattern.
  • Figures are USAspending obligations, not outlays.
  • Assistance without NAICS is excluded.

Transmission hardware: $908.2 million on 13,565 actions

Depots and industrial shops buy mechanical power transmission equipment from manufacturers classified in 333613. Tagged obligations sum to $908,189,489.39. That is not a count of gearboxes installed. Unit counts are not in the packet facts.

Speed changer, industrial high-speed drive, and gear manufacturing (333612) is a neighboring, more specific code in this slice. Motor vehicle transmission and power train parts (336350) is a vehicle-parts code, not general industrial transmission equipment. Keep those three NAICS separate. $908,189,489.39 is 333613 only.

A high-count manufacturing catalog

Thirteen thousand five hundred sixty-five awards against $908,189,489.39 averages about $67,000 per action. That is a parts-and-equipment catalog pattern: many restock and repair orders, some larger assemblies. 13,565 is not 13,565 unique factories. It is the tagged action count, including delivery orders and modifications.

Compared with three-award finance codes, 333613 is fragmented. Compared with 256,416 fastener awards, it is still a manufacturing supply code but with a higher average. Those comparisons are readings of award count versus dollars on each code, not a packet ranking.

Industrial transmission versus vehicle power trains

333613 is general-purpose mechanical power transmission equipment manufacturing. 336350 is motor vehicle transmission and power train parts. A truck gearbox manufacturer should generally be 336350; an industrial coupling manufacturer should be 333613 or 333612 depending on product. Dual-role vendors can be tagged either way. The $908,189,489.39 follows the 333613 tag on 13,565 actions.

Assistance awards may not carry NAICS. A grant that equips a training shop will usually miss this manufacturing rollup.

A complete citation of this industry is $908,189,489.39 in USAspending contract obligations tagged to NAICS 333613, mechanical power transmission equipment manufacturing, on 13,565 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 $908,189,489.39 and 13,565.

Obligations on repair-parts orders

Small transmission-parts orders still have obligation dates and later payments. Summing 13,565 of them into $908,189,489.39 still produces an obligation total, not an outlay total. Cancelled lines de-obligate. Keep USAspending’s two money concepts apart in any export.

Classification errors are expected at the margin. Vendors that straddle industrial gears/speed changers (333612) and motor-vehicle power trains (336350) may land in 333613 on some actions and in a neighbor on others. 333612 is the more specific gear and speed-changer code; 333613 is other mechanical transmission hardware. The public-record stance is to keep $908,189,489.39 attached to 333613 as tagged, then filter 13,565 rows for large assemblies versus coupling and chain restocks. Re-tagging the extract by hand is out of scope for this overlay.

Working the hub

Use aggregates on the mechanical power transmission equipment industry page, then filter. This overlay states source (USAspending.gov), unit (obligations), dollars ($908,189,489.39), and count (13,565). The all-industries directory links 333612 and 336350 without merging their totals into this figure.

Industrial transmission hardware is not a vehicle power-train code

Award count interprets the buying pattern. 13,565 actions producing $908,189,489.39 is a high-count industrial-parts catalog, with about $67,000 per action as the simple average. That average hides mix: modifications, options, and delivery orders all increment count. 13,565 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 $908,189,489.39 across 13,565 tagged mechanical power transmission equipment 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 mechanical power transmission equipment 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 $908,189,489.39, 13,565, the obligation unit, and the boundary around industrial gears/speed changers (333612) and motor-vehicle power trains (336350).

Questions

How much federal contracting is coded to mechanical power transmission equipment?
NAICS 333613 shows $908,189,489.39 in obligations on 13,565 USAspending contract awards. That is industrial mechanical power transmission equipment manufacturing as tagged, not motor vehicle transmissions. The unit is obligations, not outlays. Quote it as USAspending contract obligations tagged to NAICS 333613, not as cash outlays. Assistance awards may not carry NAICS, so grants remain outside the 13,565-award extract behind $908,189,489.39.
Is this the same as NAICS 333612 gears and speed changers?
No. 333612 is a more specific gear and speed-changer code. This page’s $908,189,489.39 is 333613 on 13,565 tagged awards. Open 333612 separately from the all-industries list. 333612 is the more specific gear and speed-changer code; 333613 is other mechanical transmission hardware. Keep $908,189,489.39 attached to 333613 as tagged on 13,565 actions; do not merge neighbor codes into the same unlabeled cell.
Why so many awards for $908 million?
Transmission hardware is bought as many repair and restock orders. 13,565 actions against $908,189,489.39 averages about $67,000. Delivery orders add rows. The industry hub shows the size mix. That pattern is a high-count industrial-parts catalog, with about $67,000 per action as the simple average of $908,189,489.39 over 13,565 awards. Filter 13,565 rows for large assemblies versus coupling and chain restocks.
Are vehicle transmission parts included?
Motor vehicle power train parts generally use NAICS 336350. This page follows the 333613 tag. Mixed vendors may be coded either way; award descriptions on the hub are the check inside the $908,189,489.39. This industry guide covers tagged contracts only: $908,189,489.39 obligated on 13,565 mechanical power transmission equipment manufacturing awards in USAspending. Outlays are a different field; assistance without NAICS is a different award type.
