Small arms, ordnance, and accessories manufacturing in Kansas (NAICS 332994)

A mid-thin small-arms manufacturing book carries a Kansas geography stamp. 57 USAspending.gov awards coded to Small Arms, Ordnance, And Ordnance Accessories Manufacturing (NAICS 332994) and Kansas place of performance carry $28,126,831.75 in federal obligations. 57 awards against $28.1 million is a concentrated manufacturing cell rather than a high-volume parts flood. Mean obligation per award is about $493,453. The join is NAICS 332994 plus Kansas, not a plant census, a named-weapon roster, or an outlay.

NAICS 332994 and Kansas as a small-arms join

This page intersects one six-digit industry and one state. $28,126,831.75 is the obligation sum where both filters are true. NAICS 332994 is small arms, ordnance, and ordnance accessories manufacturing, not ammunition (except small arms) and not small-arms ammunition. It is not a statewide spending total and not a national NAICS 332994 total. Those parent tables live on Kansas federal spending and NAICS 332994.

57 awards against $28.1 million is a concentrated manufacturing cell rather than a high-volume parts flood. 57 is an award-record count. Modifications can sit beside base awards. The packet does not say how many unique vendors produced the 57 lines. Reading 57 as factories, ships, or clinics in Kansas would confuse actions with establishments.

Kansas industries lists other NAICS codes with KS place of performance. All spending ties indexes other state–industry pairs. Do not sum those indexes into $28,126,831.75. The headline remains $28,126,831.75 on 57 awards for this pair alone.

Small arms and ordnance, not ammunition codes

NAICS 332994 is a Census industry code assigned on the award. NAICS 332994 is small arms, ordnance, and ordnance accessories manufacturing, not ammunition (except small arms) and not small-arms ammunition. Ammunition except small arms (332993) and small arms ammunition (332992) are different industry pages. Those neighboring codes never enter $28,126,831.75 unless they also appear as 332994, which they do not. Keep the six-digit label when you cite the Kansas cell.

Small-arms folklore is easy to paste onto a 332994 cell. This packet does not name plants or primes. Dividing $28,126,831.75 by 57 produces about $493,453. That quotient is arithmetic, not a typical Kansas 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.

Kansas geography on a 332994 cell

Kansas place of performance can cover Wichita, Topeka, or a reporting address. The packet has no city or installation split. Inside the KS tag, Wichita, Topeka, or a named shop are not broken out. The packet has one state key. A named city can sit inside $28,126,831.75 only if its awards carry NAICS 332994 and KS — which this narrative cannot verify.

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

Obligations versus outlays for Kansas 332994

USAspending obligations are commitments, not checks that have cleared. $28,126,831.75 can include amounts that will be paid later, cancelled, or modified. The packet does not publish outlays. 57 is not a payment count. Quote NAICS 332994 in Kansas as obligations and leave fiscal-year folklore off the citation — years are unpublished here.

What the small-arms–Kansas pair does not prove

The small arms and ordnance–Kansas pair does not prove that Kansas specialized in this industry because of federal demand, or the reverse. Small-arms folklore is easy to paste onto a 332994 cell. This packet does not name plants or primes. Campaign-finance tables are a different dataset; donations do not fund these awards. Keep both sides of the join in any headline: NAICS 332994 and Kansas.

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.
