Perishable prepared food manufacturing in Arkansas (NAICS 311991)

NAICS 311991 dollars tagged to Arkansas

NAICS 311991 is perishable prepared food manufacturing, not the residual miscellaneous food code. The dollar figure $28,947,369.24 applies only where the industry code and the AR geography are both present. Arkansas federal spending is larger because it includes other NAICS. NAICS 311991 is larger because it includes other states. This tie is the intersection.

18,949 actions produced the Arkansas book. 18,949 awards against $28.9 million is an extremely high-volume cell: many small actions stacking, not a handful of blockbuster contracts. Award rows are not the same as establishments in the Economic Census. A single vendor can hold several of the 18,949 records. The packet does not identify vendors.

Readers comparing codes should open Arkansas industries rather than inferring rank from this one cell. All spending ties collects other intersections. NAICS 311991 without the Arkansas filter is a different total. None of those pages should be added into $28,947,369.24.

Perishable prepared food, not residual misc food

All other miscellaneous food manufacturing (311999) is a different food-manufacturing join. Residual or neighboring codes are easy to merge in speech and wrong to merge in this table. NAICS 311991 is perishable prepared food manufacturing, not the residual miscellaneous food code. $28,947,369.24 stays inside 311991 × AR only.

The implied mean of about $1,528 is $28,947,369.24 / 18,949. A 18,949-line book often mixes delivery orders and modifications. Unique plants are unpublished. Do not merge 311991 into 311999. There is no distribution in the packet: no p50, no largest award, no fiscal year. A high mean can be one vehicle; a low mean can be many delivery orders. This extract cannot tell those stories apart.

Arkansas geography on a perishable-food cell

Arkansas place of performance can cover the Delta, Northwest Arkansas, Little Rock, or a reporting address. The packet has no county split. Little Rock, Springdale, or a named kitchen are ordinary place names, not columns. The only geography key is AR. Splitting $28,947,369.24 across those names would be invention.

USAspending place of performance is a reporting field. It can diverge from where parts were made, where patients were seen, or where a ship was docked. This page repeats the coded Arkansas tag. It does not audit the field. Arkansas federal spending uses the same geography convention across industries.

Obligations, not outlays, on Arkansas 311991

Obligations are not outlays. $28,947,369.24 is the commitment aggregate for this pair. Later modifications can raise or lower what is eventually paid. The packet does not report outlays or a fiscal-year series. Quote 18,949 as award records. Do not call $28,947,369.24 ‘spent in Arkansas this year’ — no year is published here.

What the perishable-food–Arkansas pair does not prove

A 18,949-line book often mixes delivery orders and modifications. Unique plants are unpublished. Do not merge 311991 into 311999. Federal awards in one NAICS do not explain Arkansas employment, and itemized campaign gifts do not pay USAspending obligations. Different statutes, different tables. Cite NAICS 311991 and Arkansas together so the join stays visible. Arkansas industries and All spending ties are the related indexes.
