Some of that depends on what NV Steel does. To me, the facility seems more like a foundry (that could certainly mass-produce tools) and doesn't have the facilities to produce virgin steel (the facility is way too small and doesn't have any sign of a blast furnace or the supporting facilities for one) - really, it doesn't seem like anyone really does that any more since everyone just recycles scrap. Even the NCR does it via the Boneyard. We've got plenty of scrap for the time being but we may need to construct a steel mill from scratch if we want to produce virgin steel (which also requires getting our hands on a supply of iron ore, which we don't have right now, though we have the coal and lime). I'm likewise wary of exporting weaponry to the Legion lest we become picrel.
It's a shame that the alkali refinery next door to the still-standing titanium plant is gone. It could have been used to produce all kinds of chemicals including the active ingredients for bleach (chlorine dioxide) as well as important industrial feedstocks like chlorine, hydrochloric acid and alkali and alkali earth metals. I'm not really sure what goes into paint and dyes, all of the ingredients and the variations among them make my head spin - both sides would definitely buy paints and dyes, though I'm unsure about up north. Even if the Dead Horses take over, I don't think the raiders and tribes scratching in the dirt in Utah and SLC have much worry for luxuries. I'd give a big thumbs up for canned food (corned beef? corned beef.) though.
