Cheese manufacturing (NAICS 311513) federal contract obligations

Nine hundred twenty-nine awards, $1.73 billion committed

The $1,734,525,568.34 obligation stock sits on 929 contract awards, implying about $1.87 million per award. That pairing is heavier per action than bakery and perishable-prepared-food codes, which show hundreds of thousands of small orders in this extract. Cheese manufacturing here looks like fewer, larger food-buy vehicles. The packet does not name commodities beyond the Census title.

Poultry processing, commercial bakeries, and perishable prepared food are neighboring 311xxx lines. Their award volumes differ sharply from 929. Compare them on the all-industries index without merging dairy, meat, and bakery into one “food” total unless you cite each NAICS.

Dairy-manufacturing contracts versus farm assistance

USAspending.gov obligations on 311513 are procurement commitments. Dairy margin, conservation, and other farm assistance often appear as assistance awards without NAICS. Those dollars are outside $1,734,525,568.34. Nutrition-assistance benefits are likewise a different instrument.

Outlays trail obligations. A cheese-supply vehicle can be obligated by order while invoices follow delivery. Citing $1.73 billion as money already paid for cheese is incorrect. De-obligations can reduce the net after a requirement changes.

What 929 does not count

The 929 awards include modifications that keep the code. They are not 929 plants and not 929 pounds. One subsistence IDIQ can generate many of those rows. The industry page lists recipients.

Refrigerated storage is a different code

Refrigerated warehousing (493120) records storage services, not cheese manufacturing. Those dollars are not inside 311513 unless the award also carried this NAICS. Keep manufacturing and cold storage on their own hubs.

Using the cheese-manufacturing hub

The Cheese Manufacturing industry page lists the USAspending.gov actions behind $1.73 billion. Agencies and vendors belong there. This guide does not invent commodity weights or inspection findings.

Citing 311513 without mixing farm programs and food contracts

Quote $1,734,525,568.34 as USAspending contract obligations on 929 awards tagged NAICS 311513. Do not add dairy-farm assistance or SNAP outlays to that sentence. Those instruments are a different feed. Cheese manufacturing is a food-manufacturing code as reported on the award.

Readers sometimes convert cheese dollars into pounds. The public NAICS total does not support that conversion. The $1.73 billion is a contract-obligation stock. Option years and delivery orders can raise the recorded commitment before product ships. Keep outlays out of the citation.

The 929-award count should travel with the dollars so the book does not look like a micro-purchase flood. Warehouse refreshes can move both figures. Recoding later orders to another dairy or food NAICS would send new dollars off this page.

Assistance without NAICS remains outside. Quote USAspending.gov, quote obligations, quote 929 awards, and open the hub for recipients. Stop before turning cheese manufacturing into dietary advice or a farm-policy argument.

Readers quoting this industry should keep two packet facts in one sentence: $1,734,525,568 in USAspending.gov contract obligations and 929 awards tagged NAICS 311513 (CHEESE MANUFACTURING). Dropping either figure hides whether the book is a few large vehicles or many small orders. The rounded obligation used for citation is $1,734,525,568; cents on the source total, if any, do not change the industry identity of the code.

CHEESE MANUFACTURING shows a moderate award-record count (929). Individual vehicles can still be large. The count includes modifications that retain the NAICS. Food-manufacturing codes record procurement of tagged products, not nutrition-assistance benefits and not farm-program outlays. CHEESE MANUFACTURING stays on the contract slice. Record corrections in the USAspending.gov warehouse can move both the $1,734,525,568 and the 929-award count. Treat the live CHEESE MANUFACTURING industry page as current and this file as a reading of the harvested packet.

Internal comparison belongs on the all-industries index, where NAICS 311513 sits beside other six-digit contract totals. Adding neighboring codes by hand creates a new total this packet does not contain; cite each NAICS if you add. Assistance awards that omit NAICS remain outside $1,734,525,568. Outlays remain unpublished here. Quote obligations, quote 929 awards, cite USAspending.gov, and open the overlay hub for recipients rather than inventing agencies, fiscal years, or unit counts the packet does not list.

A second check on language: do not call $1,734,525,568 an appropriation, a budget request, or cash disbursed. It is the recorded contract-obligation stock for CHEESE MANUFACTURING (NAICS 311513) in the indexed USAspending.gov extract. Do not call 929 a count of establishments. It is an award-record count. Those two constraints are the whole method of this guide.

Questions

How much is obligated under NAICS 311513 cheese manufacturing?

USAspending.gov contract awards tagged Cheese Manufacturing show $1,734,525,568.34 in obligations on 929 awards. That is a procurement commitment total, not farm subsidies and not pounds of cheese. USAspending.gov is the source for the $1,734,525,568 obligation stock and the 929 contract awards tagged CHEESE MANUFACTURING (NAICS 311513). Assistance awards that omit NAICS are outside both figures.

Does this include dairy farm payments or SNAP?

Not by design. Assistance awards often lack NAICS, so those programs are omitted from the $1,734,525,568.34. Only contracts tagged 311513 feed this industry total. Keep the citation on contract obligations: $1,734,525,568 on 929 awards coded NAICS 311513. Outlays, grants without NAICS, and unit counts are not in the packet that produced this page.

Do 929 awards mean 929 cheese plants?

No. The 929 figure counts contract records, including orders and modifications that keep 311513. One vehicle can generate many awards. The industry page lists the records. The industry hub lists the underlying USAspending.gov rows. This answer restates only packet facts: NAICS 311513, $1,734,525,568 obligated, and 929 awards for CHEESE MANUFACTURING.

Is refrigerated warehousing included?

Only if those storage awards were also tagged 311513. Refrigerated warehousing uses NAICS 493120 when tagged that way and is outside the $1,734,525,568.34 unless it carries the cheese-manufacturing code. Do not treat 929 as establishments or $1,734,525,568 as cash disbursed. Both numbers describe USAspending.gov contract actions tagged NAICS 311513 (CHEESE MANUFACTURING), not assistance and not outlays.
