NAICS 327215 – Glass Product Manufacturing Made of Purchased Glass encompasses the fabrication of finished glass products from purchased glass stock, including cutting, shaping, tempering, laminating, coating, and assembling glass components for specialized applications. This sector serves government needs for high-performance glazing, optical enclosures, radiation-shielded windows, blast-resistant panels, and precision optical housings used in defense systems, aerospace platforms, and secure facilities. Unlike glass production from raw materials, this NAICS focuses on value-added transformation of pre-manufactured glass, often requiring stringent military specifications such as MIL-STD-810 or ANSI Z97.1 for impact and environmental durability. These products are critical in military vehicles, command centers, surveillance systems, and laboratory environments where optical clarity, thermal stability, and structural integrity are non-negotiable. The leading contractor in this space is MEDIANOW, INC., a specialized manufacturer known for delivering custom glass assemblies under strict defense and aerospace quality controls. The competitive landscape is dominated by small businesses and niche primes with expertise in precision glass fabrication, often holding ITAR or AS9100 certifications. Due to the technical specificity of requirements, barriers to entry are high, favoring firms with established supply chains and metrology capabilities. The Department of Defense is the primary procuring agency, sourcing these products for naval vessels, aircraft cockpits, sensor housings, and secure communications infrastructure. Demand is driven by modernization initiatives in armored platforms, unmanned systems, and hardened command nodes requiring optically transparent yet structurally robust enclosures. The market is characterized by low contractor density and high technical specialization, creating concentrated opportunities for firms with certified fabrication capabilities and experience in defense-grade glass processing. Contracting trends show a preference for long-term blanket purchase agreements with suppliers who can meet rapid prototyping and low-volume production demands under tight security protocols.

Small Business Size Standard

The SBA threshold that decides who can bid NAICS 327215 work as a small business.

1,000 employees
Applies to the whole industry code

The SBA cap for this NAICS (13 CFR 121.201). A business at or under it can self-certify as small for work in this code, which is what makes it eligible for a small-business set-aside. The cap is set per NAICS, so the same company can be small in one code and not in another.

13 CFR 121.201, effective January 1, 2026. The SBA revises the table roughly once a year.

Bidder counts reported on past federal awards in this NAICS (USAspending). An open opportunity has no bidders yet, so this is the historical norm for similar work, not a fact about this solicitation. Not all awards report bidder counts, and fewer bidders often means incumbent-held work rather than an easier win. Federal reporting of bidder counts fell from ~96% of awards (FY2016) to ~30% (FY2018 onward); the chart shows shares of reported awards, and washed-out stretches mark years with fewer than 30 of them.
