SBA size standard
750 employees
Measured by average number of employees over the last 24 months
SBA table effective March 2023
Official definition
This U.S. industry comprises establishments primarily engaged in manufacturing electronic components (except bare printed circuit boards; semiconductors and related devices; electronic capacitors; electronic resistors; coils, transformers, and other inductors; connectors; and loaded printed circuit boards).
FY2025 federal spending
The Department of Defense bought 97% of the $1.5B obligated under 334419 in FY2025.
- Contract awards
- 16,501
- Contract vehicles (IDVs)
- 1,304
Top buying agencies
- Department of Defense$1.4B
- Department of Transportation$20.4M
- Department of Agriculture$16.0M
- Department of the Interior$2.5M

FY2025 federal contract obligations, USAspending.gov
NAICS 334419 obligated $1.5 billion in FY2025 across 16,501 contract awards, an average near $88,000. DoD is $1.42 billion, or 97 percent. DOT at $20 million and USDA at $16 million are the only other buyers with meaningful volume. This is a sustainment code: high award count, low average value, driven by component demand behind fielded systems.
What belongs here
Electronic components other than bare printed circuit boards, semiconductors, capacitors, resistors, coils and transformers, connectors, and loaded printed circuit boards. What is left is a wide field including switches, filters, delay lines, transducers, and specialized assemblies.
- Bare and loaded circuit boards are 334412.
- Communications equipment assemblies are 334290.
- Complete sensor and navigation systems are 334511.
Competing in this code
The code had 1,304 IDVs alongside 16,501 awards in FY2025, and DLA long-term contracts are the operating model. Component obsolescence is the specific opening. DoD systems outlive their component supply chains, and diminishing manufacturing sources requirements produce continuous demand for form, fit, and function replacements built to an original specification the original manufacturer abandoned. A small shop that can qualify a replacement part against a legacy specification competes for sole-source and limited-competition awards indefinitely, because there is no one else to buy from.
NAICS 334419 FAQ
What is the SBA size standard for NAICS 334419?
SBA sets it at 750 employees, counted as a 24-month average headcount across your company and every affiliate, not revenue. At or under that number you are small on NAICS 334419 solicitations and eligible for the set-asides in this code.
Which agencies buy electronic components under NAICS 334419?
FY2025 obligations: DoD ($1.4 billion), DOT ($20 million), USDA ($16 million), Interior ($3 million), DHS ($2 million). At 97 percent DoD across 16,501 awards, this is a sustainment code driven by component demand behind systems already in the field.
Where is the opportunity in NAICS 334419 for a small manufacturer?
Component obsolescence. Fielded DoD systems outlive their supply chains, and diminishing manufacturing source requirements create continuous demand for form, fit, and function replacements built to legacy specifications the original manufacturer has abandoned. Qualifying one of those parts produces repeat limited-competition awards with no realistic alternative source.
What does NAICS 334419 exclude?
Seven specific component families: bare printed circuit boards, semiconductors and related devices, capacitors, resistors, coils and transformers and other inductors, connectors, and loaded printed circuit boards. Each of those has its own code, and buyers search those codes first. 334419 catches everything else electronic at the component level.
