- Implied mean about $172,026 per award, not a typical invoice.

- Cite obligations from USAspending.gov; keep both sides of the join.
NAICS 332992 and Minnesota as a small-arms-ammo join
This page intersects one six-digit industry and one state. $150,006,979.31 is the obligation sum where both filters are true. NAICS 332992 is small arms ammunition manufacturing, not small arms manufacturing and not ammunition except small arms. It is not a statewide spending total and not a national NAICS 332992 total. Those parent tables live on Minnesota federal spending and NAICS 332992.
872 awards against $150.0 million is a busy ammunition-manufacturing cell rather than a single arsenal vehicle. 872 is an award-record count. Modifications can sit beside base awards. The packet does not say how many unique vendors produced the 872 lines. Reading 872 as factories, ships, or clinics in Minnesota would confuse actions with establishments.
Minnesota industries lists other NAICS codes with MN place of performance. All spending ties indexes other state–industry pairs. Do not sum those indexes into $150,006,979.31. The headline remains $150,006,979.31 on 872 awards for this pair alone.
Small-arms ammunition, not firearms plants
NAICS 332992 is a Census industry code assigned on the award. NAICS 332992 is small arms ammunition manufacturing, not small arms manufacturing and not ammunition except small arms. Small arms manufacturing (332994) and ammunition except small arms (332993) are different codes. Those neighboring codes never enter $150,006,979.31 unless they also appear as 332992, which they do not. Keep the six-digit label when you cite the Minnesota cell.
Arsenal folklore is ordinary speech, not extra packet dollars. Unique contractors are unpublished. Dividing $150,006,979.31 by 872 produces about $172,026. That quotient is arithmetic, not a typical Minnesota 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.
Minnesota geography on a small-arms-ammo cell
Minnesota place of performance can cover the Twin Cities, a Greater Minnesota plant address, or a reporting address in Anoka County. The packet has no site split. Inside the MN tag, named cities are not broken out. The packet has one state key. A named city can sit inside $150,006,979.31 only if its awards carry NAICS 332992 and MN — which this narrative cannot verify.
Place-of-performance geography is not the same as contractor headquarters. A firm based elsewhere can perform in Minnesota, and a Minnesota address can appear on work done out of state. This join reports the coded pair, not a logistics map. Minnesota federal spending remains the statewide parent.
Obligations versus outlays for Minnesota 332992
USAspending obligations are commitments, not checks that have cleared. $150,006,979.31 can include amounts that will be paid later, cancelled, or modified. The packet does not publish outlays. 872 is not a payment count. Quote NAICS 332992 in Minnesota as obligations and leave fiscal-year folklore off the citation — years are unpublished here.
What the small-arms-ammo–Minnesota pair does not prove
The small-arms-ammo–Minnesota pair does not prove that Minnesota specialized in this industry because of federal demand, or the reverse. Arsenal folklore is ordinary speech, not extra packet dollars. Unique contractors are unpublished. Campaign-finance tables are a different dataset; donations do not fund these awards. Keep both sides of the join in any headline: NAICS 332992 and Minnesota.
How to cite NAICS 332992 in Minnesota
Cite USAspending.gov, NAICS 332992 (Small Arms Ammunition Manufacturing), Minnesota (MN), $150,006,979.31, and 872 awards. Note that the figures are obligations. Point readers to Minnesota federal spending, NAICS 332992, Minnesota industries, and All spending ties rather than collapsing those pages into this cell. Mean per award stays about $172,026 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.
