Cut and sew apparel contractors (NAICS 315210) contract obligations

Three thousand six hundred fifteen awards, $2.21 billion

The $2,207,389,935.80 obligation stock sits on 3,615 contract awards, implying about $610,600 per award. Contractor apparel shops in federal buying can sit on clothing schedules with many orders. The packet does not split uniforms from other garments. It supports the sum and the count.

Apparel accessories and other apparel manufacturing (315990) is a different Census line: makers of accessories and other apparel, not the cut-and-sew contractor definition. Those dollars are not inside 315210 unless the award also carried this code.

Contractor manufacturing versus owned-material production

The Census distinction is who owns the fabric. On USAspending.gov the distinction is whichever NAICS the contracting office entered. If the office tagged a clothing buy 315210, it feeds $2,207,389,935.80 even if a reader would have chosen another apparel code.

Assistance for workforce or textile programs may lack NAICS. Those grants would not increment this industry total. Keep 315210 on the contract hub.

Obligations versus garment invoices

A cut-and-sew contract can be obligated by delivery order while invoices follow shipment. Outlays are not in the packet. The 3,615 awards include modifications that keep 315210. Negative modifications reduce the net without meaning that a sewing line closed.

What 3,615 does not count

The award count is not 3,615 shops and not 3,615 garments. One clothing IDIQ can generate many of those rows. The industry page lists recipients.

Using the cut-and-sew hub

The Cut and Sew Apparel Contractors industry page lists the USAspending.gov actions behind $2.21 billion. Agencies and vendors belong there. Compare 315210 with 315990 on the all-industries index without merging the two unless you cite both.

Citing 315210 without mixing contractor shops and accessory makers

Quote $2,207,389,935.80 as USAspending contract obligations on 3,615 awards tagged NAICS 315210. Do not fold in apparel-accessories manufacturing unless those awards also carry 315210. Contractor sewing is easy to confuse with the rest of the clothing buy; the industry table follows the code on the award.

Readers sometimes treat apparel-contractor dollars as a headcount of personnel clothed. The public NAICS total does not support that conversion. The $2.21 billion is a contract-obligation stock. Delivery orders can raise the recorded commitment before items ship. Keep outlays out of the sentence.

The 3,615-award count should travel with the dollars. Warehouse refreshes can move both figures. Recoding an order to 315990 would send new actions to the accessories page.

Assistance without NAICS remains outside. Quote USAspending.gov, quote obligations, quote 3,615 awards, and open the hub for recipients. Stop before converting cut-and-sew apparel contractors into a product recommendation.

Readers quoting this industry should keep two packet facts in one sentence: $2,207,389,936 in USAspending.gov contract obligations and 3,615 awards tagged NAICS 315210 (CUT AND SEW APPAREL CONTRACTORS). Dropping either figure hides whether the book is a few large vehicles or many small orders. The rounded obligation used for citation is $2,207,389,936; cents on the source total, if any, do not change the industry identity of the code.

CUT AND SEW APPAREL CONTRACTORS shows 3,615 award records, enough to include recurring orders without resembling a micro-purchase flood. Modifications that keep the code are inside the count. Food-manufacturing codes record procurement of tagged products, not nutrition-assistance benefits and not farm-program outlays. CUT AND SEW APPAREL CONTRACTORS stays on the contract slice. Record corrections in the USAspending.gov warehouse can move both the $2,207,389,936 and the 3,615-award count. Treat the live CUT AND SEW APPAREL CONTRACTORS industry page as current and this file as a reading of the harvested packet.

Internal comparison belongs on the all-industries index, where NAICS 315210 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 $2,207,389,936. Outlays remain unpublished here. Quote obligations, quote 3,615 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 $2,207,389,936 an appropriation, a budget request, or cash disbursed. It is the recorded contract-obligation stock for CUT AND SEW APPAREL CONTRACTORS (NAICS 315210) in the indexed USAspending.gov extract. Do not call 3,615 a count of establishments. It is an award-record count. Those two constraints are the whole method of this guide.
