What this NAICS code covers
NAICS 333314 is Optical Instrument and Lens Manufacturing in the North American Industry Classification System — the standard the federal government uses to classify what it buys. This code was retired in the 2022 NAICS revision; it still appears on awards signed under earlier vintages, which is why historical award records reference it. The U.S. Small Business Administration sets a small-business size standard (a receipts or employee threshold) per NAICS code, used to decide who qualifies for small-business set-asides.

How to read this profile
This page reports exact public-record facts and assigns no score or label. An obligated-dollar figure is an exact sum over USASpending.gov prime awards on the records Fonteum currently holds; it is a bounded slice of the federal corpus, not a completeness claim, and it is not a budget or forecast. Contractors are named only as the neutral recipients of public awards. The award footprint fills in as the federal award-archive backfill runs.
