Analysis
NAICS 33699 is the 2022 NAICS industry for other transportation equipment manufacturing, part of 3369 (Other Transportation Equipment Manufacturing). Census lists 21 example activities under it in the official index.
County Business Patterns counts 948 US establishments in this code in 2023, employing 40,630 people at an average annual payroll of $66,703 per employee (46th percentile of national industries). 50% of the establishments have fewer than five employees, which is close to the national mix.
Census lists 6 related activities that belong elsewhere, most often in 33661, 33641, 3363 and 33993. Businesses that do several things are classified by their primary activity, the one that generates the most value, so check those boundaries before settling on this code.
Between 2018 and 2023 the number of establishments grew 10% and employment rose 20%. The 2018 count used NAICS 2017, so part of a large move can come from codes being redefined rather than from businesses opening or closing.

That link is how import data is matched to domestic producers, for example in trade-remedy cases.
