NAICS 337211

Overview

The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) is the federal standard for grouping business establishments so agencies can collect, analyze, and publish statistics about the U.S. economy. It was developed under the Office of Management and Budget and adopted in 1997 to replace the SIC, in coordination with Canada and Mexico to support cross-country comparability. ²

NAICS 337211 covers U.S. establishments primarily engaged in manufacturing wood office-type furniture. Products may be stock or custom and can be shipped assembled or knock-down. The 2022 NAICS definitions govern current federal statistical use. ¹

Frequently asked questions

• How is NAICS 337211 defined?

  • Establishments primarily make wood office-type furniture, whether stock or custom, shipped assembled or knock-down. The definition appears in the NAICS 2022 Manufacturing sector listings and governs current statistical use across federal economic programs. ¹

• How does 337211 differ from 337214?

  • 337211 covers wood office furniture, while 337214 covers office furniture made primarily from nonwood materials (e.g., metal, plastics). Material composition is the key differentiator for classification. ¹

• Are custom architectural woodwork or built-in reception counters included in 337211?

  • No. Custom architectural interiors and built-ins manufactured to individual order are classified in 337212, not 337211. Use 337211 for wood office furniture not produced as site-specific architectural millwork. ¹

• What PSCs commonly align with office furniture buys?

  • Federal buys for office furnishings often use PSC 7110 (Office Furniture). For storage and shelving components, PSC 7125 (Cabinets, Lockers, Bins, and Shelving) is also common. Refer to the official PSC Manual for scope and definitions. ⁴

• What is the current NAICS vintage in use?

  • The current vintage is NAICS 2022. Census began disseminating 2022-basis data with the 2022 Economic Census, and adoption schedules vary by program through 2027. Consult the implementation timeline for program-by-program details. ³
