Federal obligations in motor vehicle transmission and power train parts manufacturing (NAICS 336350)

Vehicle power-train parts at $832.0 million

Federal fleets and maintenance depots buy transmissions, drive shafts, and related motor-vehicle power-train parts from manufacturers classified in 336350. Tagged obligations sum to $831,956,431.94. That is not a count of gearboxes replaced. Unit counts are not in the packet facts.

Complete heavy-duty trucks (336120) and complete light trucks (336112) are vehicle-assembly codes in this slice. 336350 is parts. A complete-vehicle award should not land here; a transmission-parts award should. The $831,956,431.94 follows the 336350 tag on 5,500 actions.

5,500 awards and a parts-catalog average

Five thousand five hundred awards against $831,956,431.94 averages about $151,000 per action. That is a depot-supply pattern: many repairable-parts orders, some larger lots. Delivery orders add count. 5,500 is not 5,500 unique plants.

Industrial mechanical power transmission equipment (333613) and gears/speed changers (333612) are general industrial codes, not motor-vehicle power trains. Keep vehicle parts and industrial transmission hardware in separate cells even though both involve gears in ordinary language.

Vehicle parts versus industrial gears

336350 is motor vehicle transmission and power train parts. 333612 is speed changers, industrial high-speed drives, and gears. A tactical-vehicle transmission belongs in the vehicle-parts family; an industrial gearbox for a mill belongs in 3336. Dual-role manufacturers can be tagged either way. The $831,956,431.94 is 336350 as recorded.

Assistance awards may not carry NAICS. A grant that stocks a municipal garage will usually miss this manufacturing rollup.

A complete citation of this industry is $831,956,431.94 in USAspending contract obligations tagged to NAICS 336350, motor vehicle transmission and power train parts manufacturing, on 5,500 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 $831,956,431.94 and 5,500.

Obligations on repairables

Parts contracts obligate when the order is placed and pay on delivery or repair-and-return. The $831,956,431.94 is committed value on 5,500 tagged actions, not cash already paid for every transmission. Cancellations de-obligate. Outlay fields track payments.

Classification errors are expected at the margin. Vendors that straddle complete trucks, industrial gears (333612), and general mechanical transmission hardware (333613) may land in 336350 on some actions and in a neighbor on others. Industrial gear manufacturing is 333612; complete heavy trucks are 336120. The public-record stance is to keep $831,956,431.94 attached to 336350 as tagged, then filter the 5,500 rows for large transmission lots versus smaller repairable orders. Re-tagging the extract by hand is out of scope for this overlay.

Hub next step

Open the motor vehicle transmission and power train parts industry page for the 5,500 awards behind $831,956,431.94. Use the all-industries directory for complete-vehicle and industrial-gear codes without merging their dollars into this parts total. Source: USAspending.gov contract awards.

Vehicle power trains are not industrial mill gears

Award count interprets the buying pattern. 5,500 actions producing $831,956,431.94 is thousands of vehicle-parts depot orders, with about $151,000 per action as the simple average. That average hides mix: modifications, options, and delivery orders all increment count. 5,500 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 $831,956,431.94 across 5,500 tagged motor vehicle transmission and power train parts 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 motor vehicle transmission and power train parts 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 $831,956,431.94, 5,500, the obligation unit, and the boundary around complete trucks, industrial gears (333612), and general mechanical transmission hardware (333613).

Questions

How much federal contracting is coded to motor vehicle power train parts?

NAICS 336350 shows $831,956,431.94 in obligations on 5,500 USAspending contract awards. That is vehicle transmission and power-train parts manufacturing as tagged, not complete trucks. The unit is obligations, not outlays. Quote it as USAspending contract obligations tagged to NAICS 336350, not as cash outlays. Assistance awards may not carry NAICS, so grants remain outside the 5,500-award extract behind $831,956,431.94.

Does 336350 include complete heavy-duty trucks?

No. Complete heavy-duty trucks are NAICS 336120. This page’s $831,956,431.94 is power-train parts on 5,500 tagged awards. Open the complete-vehicle codes separately. Industrial gear manufacturing is 333612; complete heavy trucks are 336120. Keep $831,956,431.94 attached to 336350 as tagged on 5,500 actions; do not merge neighbor codes into the same unlabeled cell.

Is this the same as industrial gear manufacturing?

No. Industrial gears and speed changers are NAICS 333612. Mechanical power transmission equipment is 333613. This page follows the 336350 motor-vehicle parts tag. That pattern is thousands of vehicle-parts depot orders, with about $151,000 per action as the simple average of $831,956,431.94 over 5,500 awards. Filter the 5,500 rows for large transmission lots versus smaller repairable orders.

Are municipal garage grants included?

Usually not. Assistance awards may not carry NAICS, so they fall outside this 5,500-award contract extract. Use program pages for grants. This industry guide covers tagged contracts only: $831,956,431.94 obligated on 5,500 motor vehicle transmission and power train parts manufacturing awards in USAspending. Outlays are a different field; assistance without NAICS is a different award type.
