NAICS 335931 – Current-Carrying Wiring Device Manufacturing encompasses the production of electrical components designed to safely conduct, control, and distribute electrical current in mission-critical applications. This includes switches, relays, circuit breakers, connectors, terminal blocks, and other wiring devices engineered for durability under extreme environmental conditions. These components are essential to military vehicle electrical systems, naval vessel control panels, aerospace avionics, and hardened communications infrastructure. In government contracting, this NAICS code supports defense modernization, fleet sustainment, and infrastructure resilience programs, where reliability and compliance with MIL-SPEC standards are non-negotiable. Products in this category must meet stringent performance, thermal, and electromagnetic interference requirements, making manufacturing capabilities tightly aligned with defense and aerospace supply chains. Top contractors in this sector include PMI Industries, Inc., Starwin Industries, LLC, and Marathon Medical Corporation, representing a mix of specialized small businesses and niche manufacturers with deep expertise in high-reliability electrical components. DAP Construction Management LLC and Power Clinic Inc. also appear among leading awardees, suggesting a blend of direct manufacturing and integrated system support roles. The competitive landscape favors firms with AS9100 and ISO 9001 certifications, as well as experience in producing components for military-grade environments. The Department of Defense, particularly through NSWC Philadelphia Division under NAVSEA, is the dominant buyer, driving demand for wiring devices used in naval platforms, submarine systems, and expeditionary equipment. Procurement is tied to shipbuilding, maintenance, and modernization initiatives requiring robust, corrosion-resistant, and vibration-tolerant electrical interfaces. Market opportunities are concentrated among suppliers with proven track records in military qualification processes and rapid prototyping capabilities. Demand remains steady due to lifecycle upgrades of legacy systems and the increasing complexity of electrified military platforms, creating consistent demand for certified, low-volume, high-integrity manufacturers.

Small Business Size Standard

The SBA threshold that decides who can bid NAICS 335931 work as a small business.

600 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.
