Perishable prepared food manufacturing in California (NAICS 311991)

NAICS 311991 and California as a perishable-food join

This page intersects one six-digit industry and one state. $296,042,653.08 is the obligation sum where both filters are true. NAICS 311991 is perishable prepared food manufacturing, not the residual miscellaneous food code. It is not a statewide spending total and not a national NAICS 311991 total. Those parent tables live on California federal spending and NAICS 311991.

91,373 awards against $296.0 million is an extremely high-volume cell: many small actions stacking, not a handful of blockbuster contracts. 91,373 is an award-record count. Modifications can sit beside base awards. The packet does not say how many unique vendors produced the 91,373 lines. Reading 91,373 as factories, ships, or clinics in California would confuse actions with establishments.

California industries lists other NAICS codes with CA place of performance. All spending ties indexes other state–industry pairs. Do not sum those indexes into $296,042,653.08. The headline remains $296,042,653.08 on 91,373 awards for this pair alone.

Perishable prepared food, not residual misc food

NAICS 311991 is a Census industry code assigned on the award. NAICS 311991 is perishable prepared food manufacturing, not the residual miscellaneous food code. All other miscellaneous food manufacturing (311999) is a different California food-manufacturing join. Those neighboring codes never enter $296,042,653.08 unless they also appear as 311991, which they do not. Keep the six-digit label when you cite the California cell.

A 91,373-line book often mixes delivery orders and modifications. Unique plants are unpublished. Do not merge 311991 into 311999. Dividing $296,042,653.08 by 91,373 produces about $3,240. That quotient is arithmetic, not a typical California contract. There is no median, no top-award table, and no fiscal-year breakout on this packet. Do not treat the mean as a posted unit price.

California geography on a perishable-food cell

California place of performance can cover Central Valley plants, Southern California kitchens, or a reporting address. The packet has no county split. Inside the CA tag, Fresno, Los Angeles, or a named kitchen campus are not broken out. The packet has one state key. A named city can sit inside $296,042,653.08 only if its awards carry NAICS 311991 and CA — which this narrative cannot verify.

Place-of-performance geography is not the same as contractor headquarters. A firm based elsewhere can perform in California, and a California address can appear on work done out of state. This join reports the coded pair, not a logistics map. California federal spending remains the statewide parent.

Obligations versus outlays for California 311991

USAspending obligations are commitments, not checks that have cleared. $296,042,653.08 can include amounts that will be paid later, cancelled, or modified. The packet does not publish outlays. 91,373 is not a payment count. Quote NAICS 311991 in California as obligations and leave fiscal-year folklore off the citation — years are unpublished here.

What the perishable-food–California pair does not prove

The perishable food–California pair does not prove that California specialized in this industry because of federal demand, or the reverse. A 91,373-line book often mixes delivery orders and modifications. Unique plants are unpublished. Do not merge 311991 into 311999. Campaign-finance tables are a different dataset; donations do not fund these awards. Keep both sides of the join in any headline: NAICS 311991 and California.

How to cite NAICS 311991 in California

Cite USAspending.gov, NAICS 311991 (Perishable Prepared Food Manufacturing), California (CA), $296,042,653.08, and 91,373 awards. Note that the figures are obligations. Point readers to California federal spending, NAICS 311991, California industries, and All spending ties rather than collapsing those pages into this cell. Mean per award stays about $3,240 as a ratio only. Readers who reuse this state-industry snapshot should keep both sides of the join in the same sentence, cite USAspending.gov as the source, and treat award rows as records rather than unique vendors. The live hubs linked from this page can refresh the snapshot; this narrative does not invent a fiscal year, a recipient list, or an outlay total that the packet omitted. Place of performance remains a geography tag, not proof that work stayed inside the named state. Keep the obligation word on the headline dollar figure in every footnote.
