Small Arms, Ordnance, And Ordnance Accessories Manufacturing federal obligations in Connecticut
Small Arms, Ordnance, And Ordnance Accessories Manufacturing (NAICS 332994) shows $73,343,868.24 in USAspending.gov obligations with Connecticut as place of performance. Three hundred eighteen awards sit behind that total. The join is a Census industry code crossed with a state location field, not Connecticut's entire small-arms manufacturing economy and not a count of plants. The dollars are commitments, not Treasury outlays.

Connecticut x 332994 is an industry join, not a plant census
This page pairs NAICS 332994, SMALL ARMS, ORDNANCE, AND ORDNANCE ACCESSORIES MANUFACTURING, with Connecticut place of performance. The code covers small arms, ordnance, and ordnance accessories manufacturing, not ammunition and not tanks. SpendingVault sums tagged obligations: $73,343,868.24 on 318 awards. The extract does not list plants, serial numbers, or NSNs. Treat the pair as a catalog intersection, not a ranking of which state makes more small arms, and not a claim that 318 awards equal 318 plants.
Other related listings — ammunition manufacturing, tank manufacturing, or cutlery — sit outside $73,343,868.24 unless they also carry 332994. Mixing arms manufacturing with ammunition would invent a combined small-arms figure the packet never computed. Correlation between this obligation sum and FFL counts is not causation. FFL counts are not in the packet. Place of performance as Connecticut locates the tagged awards; it does not deposit $73,343,868.24 in a state munitions account.
318 awards behind $73.3 million
Award count is a row count of tagged awards, including possible modifications and delivery orders. It is not a census of plants, sites, or contractors. Mean obligation is about $230,641 if $73,343,868.24 were divided evenly across 318 lines — a mechanical ratio, not a typical ordnance contract, and not a published unit price. The packet has no arms-versus-accessories split inside 332994.
Three hundred eighteen lines are too many to narrate one by one. Sort the Connecticut 332994 overlay by amount to see concentration. This page will not invent contractor names. Open NAICS 332994 for the national listing and Connecticut industries for other codes. Do not convert 318 into a map of job sites. The $73,343,868.24 total remains an obligation rollup on tagged awards.
What NAICS 332994 covers in this extract
The listing title is Small Arms, Ordnance, And Ordnance Accessories Manufacturing. This extract does not split firearms from ordnance accessories, nor does it split military from other federal buyers. Those cuts would require award documentation beyond dollars, 318 awards, NAICS 332994, and Connecticut. This page will not invent a product-line share.
Obligations are recorded commitments. Outlays are payments from the Treasury. The $73,343,868.24 headline is the obligation sum, not items already shipped and not a fiscal-year outlay total. No fiscal year is attached. A munitions press release dated to a particular year is not automatically this join unless it uses NAICS 332994, Connecticut geography, and the obligation metric.
What the Connecticut small arms and ordnance table omits
The extract has no employment count, no plant list, and no serial-number inventory. Facts remain $73,343,868.24, 318 awards, NAICS 332994, and Connecticut. This page will not invent a ranking against other states' 332994 joins. Defense and other federal buyers can both sit in the file; the extract does not label them.
Connecticut federal spending and Connecticut industries place 332994 among other codes. NAICS 332994 is the national catalog line. All spending ties indexes other industry-by-state pairs. Mixing those shelves would invent a share of Connecticut fabricated-metal manufacturing the packet never computed. The $73,343,868.24 figure is the tagged pair only.
Where the 332994 x Connecticut overlay lives
Start with Connecticut federal spending for statewide context and NAICS 332994 for the nationwide industry listing. Connecticut industries lists other codes with Connecticut place of performance. All spending ties is the shelf for other NAICS x state pairs on the same obligation metric. Three hundred eighteen awards are tagged rows, not a plants census. Names behind the rows are not in this packet.
Readers who need a different industry or a different state should leave this URL rather than adding numbers by hand. The $73,343,868.24 figure is the tagged NAICS 332994 × Connecticut pair only. USAspending.gov remains the source; SpendingVault republishes the join. Place of performance is a geography tag on awards, not proof that every dollar stayed inside Connecticut after obligation. If a later extract revises the rollup, this page's facts will be stale until the packet is rebuilt. Do not annualize $73,343,868.24 into a per-year run rate: no fiscal year is in the facts.
How to read the Connecticut × NAICS 332994 pair
A ties page exists because two tables meet. One table is the industry code (NAICS 332994). The other is place of performance as Connecticut. The headline $73,343,868.24 is the obligation sum on that intersection. It is not a forecast, not a budget request, and not an outlay. It is also not a claim that NAICS 332994 caused Connecticut's economy to grow, or that Connecticut caused NAICS 332994 awards to exist. Correlation between geography and a catalog code is the join — nothing more.
Use the internal links to step off this pair: the statewide spending shelf, the national industry listing, the state's other industry pages, and the ties index. Each of those pages uses the same obligation metric unless a page says otherwise. If you need award-level names, open the overlay or the stored table rather than treating this narrative as a recipient directory. If you need a different metric — outlays, current-year only, or a different geography — that metric is not in this packet.
