Federal obligations in roasted nuts and peanut butter manufacturing (NAICS 311911)

A high-count food code at $800.2M

Federal food programs, commissaries, and institutional buyers purchase roasted nuts and peanut butter under manufacturing NAICS 311911. Tagged obligations sum to $800.2M on 157,336 awards—an unusually large action count for a sub-billion-dollar total. The harvest is not pounds of product and not a count of jars.

Perishable prepared food manufacturing (311991) and cheese manufacturing (311513) are different food codes. $800.2M follows the 311911 tag. Packet facts are the dollar total and the 157,336 count. Recipes, brands, and nutrition specs are not in the facts.

157,336 awards and a small-ticket average

One hundred fifty-seven thousand three hundred thirty-six awards against $800.2M averages about $5,100 per action. That pattern fits repeated delivery orders, commissary restocks, and modification-heavy food contracts far better than a handful of capital-equipment buys. 157,336 is still not unique vendors and not unique SKUs.

High count with a modest average means the hub will show a long tail. A few large nutrition contracts can still sit inside $800.2M; amount sort on the industry page separates those from the small restock rows that inflate 157,336.

Manufacturing versus other food codes

311911 is roasted nuts and peanut butter manufacturing. Seafood product preparation (311710) and frozen fruit, juice, and vegetable manufacturing (311411) are separate. Farming of peanuts is not this code. $800.2M is the manufacturing tag on 157,336 contract actions as recorded.

Quote the extract as $800.2M in USAspending contract obligations tagged to NAICS 311911, roasted nuts and peanut butter manufacturing, on 157,336 awards. No fiscal year is in the packet. Modifications can move live tables; the harvested pair remains $800.2M and 157,336.

Obligations on food lots

Food contracts often obligate a quantity and pay on delivery. $800.2M is committed value on 157,336 tagged actions, not cash already paid for every case. Cancellations de-obligate. Outlays track payments separately.

Vendors that also pack other snack foods may be tagged 311911 on some actions and 311991 on others. Keep $800.2M on 311911 as tagged. This overlay does not merge neighbor food-manufacturing dollars into the roasted-nuts cell.

Using the hub and directory

Assistance without NAICS remains outside, even when a grant buys similar pantry items. Internal links on this file are only the 311911 hub and the industry directory. Neighbor codes in prose are classification context.

Roasted-nut and peanut-butter manufacturing is a food plant, not a farm and not a commissary. $800.2M on 157,336 awards is the 311911 manufacturing tag. Anyone comparing this extract to a nutrition-program total needs the program pages for assistance. The two universes do not add cleanly because assistance awards may not carry NAICS. USAspending.gov remains the source for the tagged-contract pair $800.2M and 157,336.

How a food-manufacturing NAICS produces 157,336 actions

Food contracting is modification-heavy. Commissary restocks, delivery orders, and small quantity changes can each become a row. That is the mechanical reason 157,336 awards can sit under $800.2M without implying 157,336 unique companies. The about $5,100 average is a divider across that long tail, not a typical case price and not pounds of product.

Nutrition programs that travel as assistance will usually miss this manufacturing rollup because assistance awards may not carry NAICS. Program pages answer the grant question. This page answers the tagged-contract question: $800.2M obligated on 157,336 roasted nuts and peanut butter manufacturing awards. Neighbor food plants—311991, 311513, 311710, 311411—are not addends.

Questions

How much federal contracting is coded to roasted nuts and peanut butter manufacturing?

NAICS 311911 shows $800.2M in obligations on 157,336 USAspending contract awards. That is the manufacturing tag for roasted nuts and peanut butter, not farming and not other food plants. The unit is obligations, not outlays or pounds. Assistance awards may not carry NAICS, so grants remain outside the 157,336-award extract behind $800.2M.

Why are there so many awards for $800.2M?

Dividing $800.2M by 157,336 awards yields about $5,100 per action. Delivery orders, restocks, and modifications inflate count relative to capital-equipment NAICS codes. The count is not unique companies and not unique products. Sort the hub by amount to see large nutrition contracts versus the long tail of small tickets.

Does 311911 include other snack-food plants?

No. This page follows the 311911 roasted-nuts and peanut-butter tag. Perishable prepared foods, cheese, seafood, and frozen fruit codes sit elsewhere. Keep $800.2M attached to 311911 on 157,336 actions; do not merge neighbor food-manufacturing totals into the same unlabeled cell.

Are food-assistance grants in this figure?

Usually not. Assistance awards may not carry NAICS, so they fall outside this 157,336-award contract extract. Use program pages for grants. This industry guide covers tagged contracts only: $800.2M obligated on 157,336 roasted nuts and peanut butter manufacturing awards in USAspending. Outlays are a different field.
