Fabricated Structural Metal Manufacturing

NAICS 332312 joined with fiscal year 2024

The relationship is mechanical: NAICS 332312 crossed with fiscal year 2024 yields one obligation sum. $669,701,264.52 is that sum for Fabricated Structural Metal Manufacturing in 2024. USAspending.gov publishes the figure as a yearlyTrend obligation total. Obligations are commitments recorded on awards, not Treasury outlays. The industry-wide extract remains $828,005,393.46; the FY2024 hub remains a separate parent. This pair does not explain why agencies bought structural metal fabrication coded on awards, and it does not name contractors or award recipients.

Nothing in the facts supports reading $669,701,264.52 as a count of tons, plants, or named fabricators. Prefabricated metal building manufacturing (NAICS 332311) is a different code. Correlation between this NAICS label and FY2024 spending is the join itself, not a causal story. Campaign-finance tables do not fund these USAspending obligations. Place-of-performance and awarding-agency splits are omitted from this packet.

Structural-metal dollars inside the FY2024 book

On the industry side, NAICS 332312 is the Fabricated Structural Metal Manufacturing extract. Its published total across the extract is $828,005,393.46. $669,701,264.52 sits inside that book at 80.9%; the other fiscal-year rows for the same code sum to $158,304,128.94 in this arithmetic. The parent industry page holds the longer series without isolating 2024. Award records in the extract number 48,387; that count is not limited to FY2024.

Structural metal fabrication coded on awards is the NAICS description attached to the awards, not a proof of goods delivered. A later USAspending ingest can restate $669,701,264.52 or $828,005,393.46 without changing the join keys. Do not add the all-industries index into this cell. The 80.9% share is $669,701,264.52 divided by $828,005,393.46, not a budget score or a ranking of industries.

USAspending.gov records $669,701,264.52 in Fabricated Structural Metal Manufacturing obligations for fiscal year 2024 under NAICS 332312. That amount is a yearlyTrend obligation total, not an outlay and not the industry's $828,005,393.46 extract-wide sum. The join names both Fabricated Structural Metal Manufacturing and FY2024; it does not name contractors or award recipients.

Is $669,701,264.52 the entire NAICS 332312 USAspending total?

No. NAICS 332312's extract-wide total is $828,005,393.46. FY2024 is 80.9% of that book. Other fiscal-year rows for the same code are separate cells. Do not add the parent hub into this join.

Do 48,387 awards equal 48,387 metal fabricators in FY2024?

No. 48,387 is the Fabricated Structural Metal Manufacturing award-record count in this extract, not a FY2024-only census of fabricators, tons, or named plants. The packet does not split those records by fiscal year or name contractors. USAspending.gov remains the source. Unique recipients are unpublished on this join.

Do FEC filings explain Fabricated Structural Metal Manufacturing obligations in FY2024?

No. FEC filings do not explain $669,701,264.52. The source is USAspending.gov. Obligations are not outlays, and donations do not fund NAICS 332312 in FY2024. The pair is NAICS 332312 plus fiscal year 2024. Campaign-finance tables are a different dataset from this yearlyTrend cell.
