NAICS 325998 all other miscellaneous chemical product manufacturing obligations

A residual chemical tag, not basic chemicals

NAICS 325998 is all other miscellaneous chemical product and preparation manufacturing. Contracting officers assign it when the principal product is a chemical preparation that the residual Census class covers — not industrial gas, not explosives, and not a more specific 325 product family if the officer used that code instead. This $1,566,891,492.24 is that residual tag. It is not a Hazardous Materials table, not a refinery output total, and not a pesticide registry.

Ten thousand three hundred fifty-seven awards produced a mean of about $151,000. Federal residual-chemical buys often mix catalog preparations, specialty kits, and delivery orders, which sits between a small drum order and a dedicated production line. The packet does not count pounds, CAS numbers, or lots shipped.

Industrial gas manufacturing (325120) is a distinct 325 class. A bulk oxygen or nitrogen contract tagged 325120 does not sit in $1.6 billion under 325998.

Many awards, moderate mean

The 10,357-award book is a mid-to-high transaction count for a manufacturing residual. Dividing $1,566,891,492.24 by 10,357 awards is a mean obligation per award identifier, not a unit price per kilogram and not a plant-capacity figure.

Chemical-supply contracts often obligate estimated quantities and pay as lots ship. Unused options leave obligated balances unpaid. Treating $1.6 billion as chemicals already consumed would overstate cash.

What this total excludes

Assistance that funds environmental cleanup often lacks NAICS and does not enter $1,566,891,492.24. In-house government labs that mix reagents are not 325998 contracts. Medicinal, explosives, and industrial-gas classes are separate 325 hubs.

Preparations tagged to a wholesale merchant NAICS follow a distribution class, not this manufacturing residual. Mixed manufacture-and-distribute vehicles follow the principal NAICS. Specialty preparations that miss a more specific 325 product family can share 325998. The $1,566,891,492.24 total does not list formulas across the 10,357 awards.

How to use the 325998 hub

Read $1.6 billion and 10,357 awards as the residual chemical-product tag, then open the all other miscellaneous chemical product and preparation manufacturing industry page for award-level fields. Rank 325 chemical codes on the all-industries index without converting this residual class into industrial gas or explosives.

This guide does not add CAS inventories because they are not in the facts object. A medicinal or explosives award tagged to those 325 classes is not this residual book. Quote obligations, not pounds, and keep CAS inventories out because they are not in the facts object.

Classification limits

Residual chemical products are not industrial gases and not a wholesale merchant class. SpendingVault reports the tagged 325998 sum.

Residual chemicals on contract, not a plant ledger

Ten thousand three hundred fifty-seven awards at $1,566,891,492.24 produce a mean of about $151,000. Residual chemical-product contracts often look like catalog and delivery-order traffic: many actions, moderate mean. That is not a kilogram price. It is not a count of CAS numbers. Industrial gas manufacturing (325120) remains a different 325 class even when both supply a laboratory. A bulk oxygen award tagged 325120 is not in this $1.6 billion.

Explosives, medicinals, and wholesale chemical merchants each have other NAICS homes when officers use those codes. Assistance that funds environmental cleanup often omits NAICS and stays outside $1,566,891,492.24. Open the all other miscellaneous chemical product and preparation manufacturing industry page for award-level fields. Rank 325 chemical codes on the all-industries index. Cite USAspending.gov. Obligations remain distinct from outlays on open lots. Extract updates will move both the dollars and the 10,357-award count. A searcher asking how much the federal government spent on chemicals should still separate this residual preparations class from industrial gas and from explosives. The $1,566,891,492.24 figure answers the NAICS 325998 question only. The 10,357-award count answers how many award identifiers carried that tag, not how many kilograms shipped. Open the all other miscellaneous chemical product and preparation manufacturing industry page, then compare other 325 codes on the all-industries index. Keep the language to obligations recorded in USAspending.gov, and do not convert the mean of about $151,000 into a unit price.

Questions

How much is obligated under NAICS 325998?

All other miscellaneous chemical product and preparation manufacturing contracts in USAspending show $1,566,891,492.24 in obligations across 10,357 awards. That is a residual chemical-manufacturing tag, not industrial gas and not explosives. The figure is obligations, not outlays. Assistance without NAICS is excluded from this extract.

What is the average residual-chemical award?

Dividing $1,566,891,492.24 by 10,357 awards yields about $151,000. That mean mixes catalog preparations and larger delivery orders in this extract. It is not a price per kilogram and not a plant-capacity figure. The packet does not publish a median or a lot count.

Does this include industrial gases?

Only contract actions tagged 325998. Industrial gas manufacturing is NAICS 325120, a separate class. Mixed gas-and-preparation buys follow the principal code the officer selected. This $1.6 billion is the residual product tag. Use each industry hub for its own Census class on SpendingVault.

Are these dollars already paid to chemical makers?

No. USAspending reports obligations on this hub, not outlays. Open delivery orders and unused options can leave balances unliquidated after the award is recorded. The 10,357-award count is not a proof of chemicals received. Cite USAspending.gov for the tagged extract on SpendingVault.
