Poultry Processing in Colorado (NAICS 311615)

USAspending.gov records $99,131,370.10 in NAICS 311615 (Poultry Processing) obligations with Colorado place of performance, across 73 awards. Seventy-three awards against that dollar total imply about $1,357,964 per award, a concentrated food-processing book. The pair is poultry processing plus Colorado geography, not animal (except poultry) slaughtering and not Colorado's entire food-manufacturing book.

  • Average obligation per award is about $1,357,964.

  • The total is obligations, not outlays; CO is place of performance.

Colorado and NAICS 311615 as a poultry-processing join

NAICS 311615 and place-of-performance state CO meet on this tie. $99,131,370.10 is the obligation sum on awards that carry both tags. It is not Colorado's statewide federal total, not an outlay, and not a national 311615 roll-up. Poultry Processing is a food-manufacturing code, not every subsistence dollar in Colorado.

73 is modest enough that a few vehicles can move the mean. Unique processors are unpublished. The join does not rank Colorado against other states and does not assign a fiscal year; none is in the facts.

Open Colorado federal spending for the state rollup, NAICS 311615 for the industry hub, Colorado industries for other NAICS in the same geography, and All spending ties for other pairs.

Poultry processing, not a catch-all food dump

USAspending labels NAICS 311615 as Poultry Processing. All other miscellaneous food manufacturing sits on a different six-digit key. Sharing a food vocabulary does not merge those codes into $99,131,370.10. The industry hub for NAICS 311615 does not require Colorado.

The packet names no plants, lots, or primes. Award titles on the NAICS 311615 page are the place to see what a given line bought. Do not treat the overlay as a statewide processor census.

Place of performance in Colorado

Colorado on this join is a geography field, not a Front Range-only overlay. Awards can list CO while later processing occurs in another state; those states are not inside this total unless also coded CO. The packet does not split counties or congressional districts.

The state hub for Colorado shows how 311615 sits beside other industries with CO place of performance. Awards can list Colorado while headquarters sit elsewhere.

Seventy-three awards and a seven-figure mean

Dividing $99,131,370.10 by 73 yields about $1,357,964 per award on average. That ratio is packet arithmetic, not a typical poultry invoice. Award count 73 is a record count, not a payment count. Readers who need transaction-level detail should use Colorado industries and the NAICS 311615 hub.

An obligation is a legal commitment. $99,131,370.10 is that kind of sum. This packet has no outlay total. Citing the figure as cash already spent on Colorado poultry over-reads the field.

What the 311615–Colorado pair does not prove

A poultry-processing NAICS plus Colorado is not an agriculture ranking and is not a claim that campaign contributions funded the awards. FEC filings and USAspending awards are different datasets. Keep $99,131,370.10 labeled as NAICS 311615 obligations with Colorado place of performance.

A later ingest can restate the dollars or the 73 count without changing the join key of NAICS 311615 and CO. Correlation is not causation.

How to read the Colorado poultry-processing hubs

Seventy-three rows totaling $99,131,370.10 is a concentrated food-processing file. Nothing in the packet supports a contractor roster or a fiscal-year split.

Colorado's 311615 cell is poultry processing, not miscellaneous food manufacturing. 73 awards and $99,131,370.10 stay on this join. Use Colorado federal spending and NAICS 311615 for the parent rollups.

Reuse $99,131,370.10 only with Poultry Processing and Colorado in the same citation. Original filings remain on USAspending.gov.

Quote both keys when you reuse the figure: NAICS 311615 (Poultry Processing) and Colorado place of performance. $99,131,370.10 is the intersection, not a parent rollup. 73 awards against $99,131,370.10 is a concentrated poultry processing file in Colorado. A few vehicles can dominate the mean of about $1,357,964. The four hubs—Colorado federal spending, NAICS 311615, Colorado industries, and All spending ties—are larger than this cell and should not be added into $99,131,370.10.

This extract publishes no outlay total, no fiscal-year split, no unique-vendor count, and no named contractors. Place of performance CO does not locate a county or a facility. Keep FEC contribution tables off this page; they do not fund these USAspending obligations. Original filings remain on USAspending.gov. Readers comparing Colorado to other states should use the NAICS 311615 hub, which is not filtered to CO, rather than treat $99,131,370.10 as a ranking.
