Federal obligations in textile bag and canvas mills (NAICS 314910)

Bags and canvas as a $846.2 million mill code

Federal buyers purchase textile bags, canvas covers, tarpaulins, and related mill products from establishments classified in 314910. Tagged obligations sum to $846,193,831.90. That is not a square-yardage figure. Physical quantities are not in the packet facts.

Military and civilian uses of canvas and bags are not split in the packet. This overlay will not invent a defense-versus-civilian share. The public record in the facts object is $846,193,831.90 on 3,566 awards.

3,566 awards versus the textile residual

Three thousand five hundred sixty-six awards against $846,193,831.90 averages about $237,000 per action. That is higher than the miscellaneous textile residual’s catalog-like average in this slice and lower than concentrated capital-machinery codes. Delivery orders add count. The industry hub shows the size mix.

314999 is the leftover mill code. 314910 is bags and canvas specifically. Adding them is a textile-mill sum of two tagged industries, not a double count of the same awards, but it is still not “all federal cloth.” Apparel and other 313/314/315 codes sit outside both.

Mills versus cut-and-sew apparel

Canvas mills produce canvas goods. Apparel contractors produce garments. A duffel that is classified as a textile bag can be 314910; a uniform blouse is apparel. Dual-role shops can be tagged either way. The $846,193,831.90 follows the 314910 tag on 3,566 actions as recorded.

Assistance awards may not carry NAICS. A grant that buys tents or bags through a nonfederal entity will usually miss this mill rollup.

A complete citation of this industry is $846,193,831.90 in USAspending contract obligations tagged to NAICS 314910, textile bag and canvas mills, on 3,566 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 $846,193,831.90 and 3,566.

Obligations on mill lots

Bag and canvas contracts often obligate a quantity and pay on delivery and inspection. The $846,193,831.90 is committed value on 3,566 tagged actions, not cash already paid for every cover shipped. Rejections de-obligate. Outlay fields track payments.

Classification errors are expected at the margin. Vendors that straddle the miscellaneous textile residual 314999 and apparel cut-and-sew shops may land in 314910 on some actions and in a neighbor on others. 314999 is leftover mill products; 314910 is bags and canvas specifically. The public-record stance is to keep $846,193,831.90 attached to 314910 as tagged, then compare 3,566 canvas-mill rows to the 314999 residual without merging unlabeled. Re-tagging the extract by hand is out of scope for this overlay.

Hub navigation

Open the textile bag and canvas mills industry page for the 3,566 awards behind $846,193,831.90. Use the all-industries directory for 314999 without merging the two mill totals in a single unlabeled cell. Source: USAspending.gov contract awards.

Canvas mills are a specific 314 code, not the textile residual

Award count interprets the buying pattern. 3,566 actions producing $846,193,831.90 is thousands of mill orders for bags and canvas goods, with about $237,000 per action as the simple average. That average hides mix: modifications, options, and delivery orders all increment count. 3,566 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 $846,193,831.90 across 3,566 tagged textile bag and canvas mills 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 textile bag and canvas mills 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 $846,193,831.90, 3,566, the obligation unit, and the boundary around the miscellaneous textile residual 314999 and apparel cut-and-sew shops.

Questions

How much federal contract spending is coded to textile bag and canvas mills?

NAICS 314910 shows $846,193,831.90 in obligations on 3,566 USAspending contract awards. That is bags and canvas mills as tagged, not the miscellaneous textile residual. The unit is obligations, not outlays or square yards. Quote it as USAspending contract obligations tagged to NAICS 314910, not as cash outlays. Assistance awards may not carry NAICS, so grants remain outside the 3,566-award extract behind $846,193,831.90.

Is NAICS 314910 the same as 314999 miscellaneous textiles?

No. 314999 is a residual mill code with its own dollar total. This page’s $846,193,831.90 is textile bag and canvas mills on 3,566 tagged awards. Open 314999 separately. 314999 is leftover mill products; 314910 is bags and canvas specifically. Keep $846,193,831.90 attached to 314910 as tagged on 3,566 actions; do not merge neighbor codes into the same unlabeled cell.

Does this include apparel uniforms?

Apparel manufacturing uses other NAICS. Canvas bags and related mill products belong here. Mixed shops may be tagged either way; award descriptions on the hub are the check inside the $846,193,831.90. That pattern is thousands of mill orders for bags and canvas goods, with about $237,000 per action as the simple average of $846,193,831.90 over 3,566 awards. Compare 3,566 canvas-mill rows to the 314999 residual without merging unlabeled.

Are grant-funded tents included?

Usually not. Assistance awards may not carry NAICS, so they fall outside this 3,566-award contract extract. Use program pages for grants. This industry guide covers tagged contracts only: $846,193,831.90 obligated on 3,566 textile bag and canvas mills awards in USAspending. Outlays are a different field; assistance without NAICS is a different award type.
