Poultry Processing federal obligations in Arkansas

What NAICS 311615 and Arkansas share on one row

NAICS 311615 and place-of-performance state AR meet here. $378,117,050.71 is the obligation sum on awards that carry both tags. It is not every federal award in Arkansas, not the nationwide Poultry Processing total, and not cash already paid. Arkansas poultry-plant folklore and statewide poultry processing stories may send a reader here. Those stories are not a plant list and not a processing actions census. NAICS 311615 is poultry processing, not animal slaughtering except poultry, feed mills, or farm production.

195 award actions sit behind that dollar figure — hundreds of rows beside $378,117,050.71. Hundreds of rows can mix modifications with larger instruments. The join does not rank Arkansas against other states and does not name vendors, facilities, or processing actions inside the extract. Unique recipients are unpublished on this page.

Open Arkansas federal spending for the statewide table, NAICS 311615 for the industry hub without a Arkansas filter, Arkansas industries for other Arkansas industry cells, and All spending ties for other pairs. Do not add those parent pages into $378,117,050.71.

Poultry-processing awards under an Arkansas tag

Dividing $378,117,050.71 by 195 yields about $1,939,062 per award on average. That average hides contracts, grants, and other instruments. It is not a typical processing lot. A second 311615 slice on another state uses the same NAICS code and a different dollar total. Do not treat Arkansas's 311615 total as a synonym for every federal poultry processing purchase. Arkansas poultry-plant folklore is a coding conversation, not a packet field.

Recipient rows live on the industry and state hubs, not in this narrative's extra columns. 195 is an award-record count, including modifications, not a count of processing actions and not a unique-firm census. Keep 311615 and AR as the join key even when a later USAspending ingest restates $378,117,050.71.

NAICS 311615 without a Arkansas overlay is a different total

The NAICS 311615 page aggregates NAICS 311615 without requiring AR geography. The Arkansas federal spending page aggregates all agencies and industries with Arkansas place of performance. Arkansas industries lists other industry cells in the same state. Only this tie applies both the 311615 filter and the AR filter, which is why it cites 195 awards and $378,117,050.71.

Place of performance in Arkansas is a USAspending geography field. Awards can list AR while work occurs in Missouri or Oklahoma. 311615 awards coded to those states do not sit in this total even if a vendor's mailroom is in Springdale. This packet does not split Springdale, Fort Smith, or Little Rock. Place of performance is a tag, not proof that every processing action stayed inside Arkansas.

Obligations, not outlays

An obligation is a legal commitment. An outlay is a payment. $378,117,050.71 is the former. This packet has no outlay total, no fiscal-year split, and no de-obligation history. Citing the figure as money already spent in Arkansas over-reads the field. Award count 195 is a record count, not a payment count.

Readers who need transaction-level detail should use Arkansas federal spending, NAICS 311615, and Arkansas industries. All spending ties does not hide a blended statewide total under this slug. Keep the obligation label on $378,117,050.71 in every reuse.

What this Arkansas–311615 pair does not prove

A poultry processing total in Arkansas does not mean the industry caused Arkansas's industrial mix, and it does not connect these obligations to campaign contributions. Correlation between plant geography and poultry processing awards is expected; it is not a finding about readiness, waste, or local employment. FEC individual contributions are a different dataset.

Keep $378,117,050.71 labeled as NAICS 311615 obligations with Arkansas place of performance. An industry name that appears near a donor occupation is a coincidence of labeling, not a cash pipeline into USAspending. Arkansas federal spending still includes other NAICS codes that must not be folded into this cell.

How to cite the Arkansas–311615 pair

A clean footnote names NAICS 311615 (Poultry Processing), Arkansas place of performance, $378,117,050.71 in obligations, and 195 awards on USAspending.gov. Keep the obligation word. Do not call $378,117,050.71 cash outlays. Mean dollars per action remain about $1,939,062 if you divide those two facts — a ratio, not a typical processing lot. Arkansas federal spending, NAICS 311615, Arkansas industries, and All spending ties keep the same unit.

A later ingest can restate $378,117,050.71 without changing the join of 311615 and AR. Rewrite only the sentence whose source moved. Springdale-versus-Fort Smith folklore is not a metro split in this packet. Do not treat 195 as a unique-firm census. Unique recipients are not published here. Keep NAICS 311615 and AR as the join key. Those stories are not a plant list and not a processing actions census. Correlation is not causation.

Readers who reuse Arkansas poultry processing | USAspending $378.1M 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 Arkansas. NAICS 311615 without the AR filter is a different total on NAICS 311615. Statewide spending without the 311615 filter is a different total on Arkansas federal spending. Arkansas industries keeps sibling Arkansas codes unmerged. All spending ties indexes other pairs. Quote 195 awards and $378,117,050.71 together whenever the poultry processing cell in Arkansas is cited.
