Federal obligations in frozen fruit, juice, and vegetable manufacturing (NAICS 311411)

Frozen fruit and vegetable manufacturing at $887.2 million

Federal food-procurement programs buy frozen fruits, juices, and vegetables from manufacturers classified in 311411. Tagged contract obligations sum to $887,192,410.96. That is not a poundage figure and not a school-meal count. Physical quantities are not in the packet facts and are not inferred here.

USDA and other agencies that buy foods for domestic nutrition or institutional feeding often use manufacturing NAICS on the vendor. A fresh-produce contract would generally use a different code. The $887,192,410.96 is the frozen fruit, juice, and vegetable manufacturing tag on 719 awards.

719 awards and a food-buy average

Seven hundred nineteen awards against $887,192,410.96 averages about $1.23 million per action. Food buys can be large delivery-period contracts rather than tiny catalog orders. Modifications for quantity and delivery add rows. The industry hub shows whether a subset of rows dominates the $887,192,410.96.

This guide does not name commodities beyond the NAICS title, does not name brands, and does not invent a fiscal-year school-meal total. Packet facts are the dollar figure and the 719 count.

Manufacturing versus wholesale versus assistance

311411 is manufacturing. Merchant wholesalers of frozen food use trade NAICS. A distributor that is classified as a manufacturer may still land here; a pure wholesaler should not. The $887,192,410.96 follows the 311411 tag as recorded.

Assistance awards may not carry NAICS. SNAP and similar assistance are not this industry total. Even USDA foods programs that run as assistance rather than contracts will miss a NAICS rollup. Use program pages for those streams and this industry page for tagged manufacturing contracts.

A complete citation of this industry is $887,192,410.96 in USAspending contract obligations tagged to NAICS 311411, frozen fruit, juice, and vegetable manufacturing, on 719 awards. Anything less—dropping the NAICS, dropping the word obligations, or dropping the contract-only universe—overstates what the extract contains. The packet facts do not include a fiscal year, so this guide does not invent one. Live tables on the industry hub can move when USAspending posts modifications; the harvested pair remains $887,192,410.96 and 719.

Obligations on food-delivery vehicles

Food contracts often obligate a quantity or a period, then pay on delivery and inspection. The $887,192,410.96 is committed value on 719 tagged actions, not cash already paid for every case shipped. Rejections and quantity cuts de-obligate. Outlay fields track payments.

Classification errors are expected at the margin. Vendors that straddle fresh produce, SNAP assistance, and general grocery wholesale may land in 311411 on some actions and in a neighbor on others. Nutrition assistance programs are usually CFDA/assistance pages, not this manufacturing NAICS. The public-record stance is to keep $887,192,410.96 attached to 311411 as tagged, then inspect the 719 rows for large commodity lots versus smaller add-on orders. Re-tagging the extract by hand is out of scope for this overlay.

Hub next step

Open the frozen fruit, juice, and vegetable manufacturing industry page for the 719 awards behind $887,192,410.96. The all-industries directory links other food-manufacturing codes without merging their dollars into this frozen-fruit figure. Source: USAspending.gov contract awards.

Frozen-fruit manufacturing is not a nutrition-assistance total

Award count interprets the buying pattern. 719 actions producing $887,192,410.96 is hundreds of relatively large food-manufacturing delivery contracts, with about $1.23 million per action as the simple average. That average hides mix: modifications, options, and delivery orders all increment count. 719 is not a count of unique companies and not a count of physical units. Use the hub amount sort to see whether a few large rows plus a long tail make up most of the tagged total.

Outlays remain a separate USAspending concept. An agency can obligate $887,192,410.96 across 719 tagged frozen fruit, juice, and vegetable manufacturing actions and pay on a different calendar. De-obligations after cancellations reduce the obligation ledger; they do not rewrite the fact that this NAICS has been a large tagged category in the harvest. Assistance without NAICS still sits outside even when the real-world activity looks similar. Program pages answer the grant question; this page answers the tagged-contract question.

Internal links on this file point only to the frozen fruit, juice, and vegetable manufacturing industry page and the all-industries directory. Those are the packet hrefs. Neighboring industry codes mentioned in prose are classification context only. Source note, copied from the packet: NAICS from USAspending contract awards. Assistance awards may not carry NAICS. The overlay’s job is to state $887,192,410.96, 719, the obligation unit, and the boundary around fresh produce, SNAP assistance, and general grocery wholesale.

Questions

How much federal contract spending is coded to frozen fruit and vegetable manufacturing?

NAICS 311411 shows $887,192,410.96 in obligations on 719 USAspending contract awards. That is frozen fruit, juice, and vegetable manufacturing as tagged, not all federal food spending. The unit is obligations, not outlays or pounds. Quote it as USAspending contract obligations tagged to NAICS 311411, not as cash outlays. Assistance awards may not carry NAICS, so grants remain outside the 719-award extract behind $887,192,410.96.

Is SNAP included in the $887 million?

No. SNAP is assistance, and assistance awards may not carry NAICS. This rollup is 719 tagged manufacturing contracts totaling $887,192,410.96. Use program pages for nutrition assistance. Nutrition assistance programs are usually CFDA/assistance pages, not this manufacturing NAICS. Keep $887,192,410.96 attached to 311411 as tagged on 719 actions; do not merge neighbor codes into the same unlabeled cell.

Does 311411 include fresh produce?

No. The industry is frozen fruit, juice, and vegetable manufacturing. Fresh produce uses other NAICS. This page’s $887,192,410.96 follows the 311411 tag on 719 awards. That pattern is hundreds of relatively large food-manufacturing delivery contracts, with about $1.23 million per action as the simple average of $887,192,410.96 over 719 awards. Inspect the 719 rows for large commodity lots versus smaller add-on orders.

Where can I see the 719 food-manufacturing awards?

On the FROZEN FRUIT, JUICE, AND VEGETABLE MANUFACTURING industry page. This guide restates the two packet facts and the assistance caveat. It does not invent commodity weights or brand lists. This industry guide covers tagged contracts only: $887,192,410.96 obligated on 719 frozen fruit, juice, and vegetable manufacturing awards in USAspending. Outlays are a different field; assistance without NAICS is a different award type.
