Copper rolling, drawing, extruding, and alloying (NAICS 331420)
Federal contract awards coded NAICS 331420, Copper Rolling, Drawing, Extruding, and Alloying, carry $1,770,469,077.27 in obligations across 1,618 awards in the USAspending.gov file SpendingVault indexes. Census uses the code for establishments that roll, draw, extrude, or alloy copper. The dollars are contract obligations, not a copper-price series, not mine output, and not outlays.
Key figures
- Copper Rolling, Drawing, Extruding, and Alloying (NAICS 331420) shows $1,770,469,077.27 in contract obligations.
- The total covers 1,618 contract awards, not a mill or tonnage census.
- Other nonferrous rolling NAICS 331491 is outside this table when tagged separately.
- Dollars are obligations, not outlays.
One thousand six hundred eighteen awards, $1.77 billion
The $1,770,469,077.27 obligation stock sits on 1,618 contract awards, implying about $1.09 million per award. Copper mill products in federal buying can sit on metals schedules with many orders. The packet does not split rod, sheet, or wire. It supports the sum and the count.
Nonferrous metal rolling except copper and aluminum (331491) is the residual neighbor in this extract. Copper has its own six digits here. Mixing the two invents a combined mill-products total unless you cite both hubs.
Copper mill products, not mining
Rolling, drawing, extruding, and alloying are mill and alloying processes. Copper mining and primary smelting use other NAICS lines when tagged that way. Readers who add mineral-assistance programs to $1,770,469,077.27 mix instruments and industries.
Assistance for critical-minerals work may lack NAICS. Those grants would not increment this industry total. Keep 331420 on the contract hub.
Obligations versus mill invoices
A copper-products contract can be obligated by delivery order while invoices follow shipment. Outlays are not in the packet. The 1,618 awards include modifications that keep 331420. Negative modifications reduce the net without meaning that a mill closed.
What 1,618 does not count
The award count is not 1,618 mills and not 1,618 tons. One metals IDIQ can generate many of those rows. The industry page lists recipients.
Using the copper-rolling hub
The Copper Rolling, Drawing, Extruding, and Alloying industry page lists the USAspending.gov actions behind $1.77 billion. Compare 331420 with 331491 on the all-industries index and cite each code separately.
Citing 331420 without merging other nonferrous mills
Quote $1,770,469,077.27 as USAspending contract obligations on 1,618 awards tagged NAICS 331420. Do not fold in 331491 (other nonferrous rolling) unless those awards also carry 331420. Copper mill products are easy to confuse with the rest of the nonferrous buy; the industry table follows the code on the award.
Readers sometimes treat copper-mill dollars as a stockpile inventory. The public NAICS total does not support that conversion. The $1.77 billion is a contract-obligation stock. Delivery orders can raise the recorded commitment before metal ships. Keep outlays out of the sentence.
The 1,618-award count should travel with the dollars. Warehouse refreshes can move both figures. Recoding an order to residual nonferrous rolling would send new actions to 331491.
Assistance without NAICS remains outside. Quote USAspending.gov, quote obligations, quote 1,618 awards, and open the hub for recipients. Stop before converting copper rolling into a commodities-trading story.
Readers quoting this industry should keep two packet facts in one sentence: $1,770,469,077 in USAspending.gov contract obligations and 1,618 awards tagged NAICS 331420 (COPPER ROLLING, DRAWING, EXTRUDING, AND ALLOYING). Dropping either figure hides whether the book is a few large vehicles or many small orders. The rounded obligation used for citation is $1,770,469,077; cents on the source total, if any, do not change the industry identity of the code.
COPPER ROLLING, DRAWING, EXTRUDING, AND ALLOYING shows 1,618 award records, enough to include recurring orders without resembling a micro-purchase flood. Modifications that keep the code are inside the count. Durable-goods manufacturing codes record tagged contractor commitments, not property books or units fielded. COPPER ROLLING, DRAWING, EXTRUDING, AND ALLOYING is an industry tag on awards, not a finished-goods census. Record corrections in the USAspending.gov warehouse can move both the $1,770,469,077 and the 1,618-award count. Treat the live COPPER ROLLING, DRAWING, EXTRUDING, AND ALLOYING industry page as current and this file as a reading of the harvested packet.
Internal comparison belongs on the all-industries index, where NAICS 331420 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 $1,770,469,077. Outlays remain unpublished here. Quote obligations, quote 1,618 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 $1,770,469,077 an appropriation, a budget request, or cash disbursed. It is the recorded contract-obligation stock for COPPER ROLLING, DRAWING, EXTRUDING, AND ALLOYING (NAICS 331420) in the indexed USAspending.gov extract. Do not call 1,618 a count of establishments. It is an award-record count. Those two constraints are the whole method of this guide.
Questions

- USAspending.gov contract awards tagged Copper Rolling, Drawing, Extruding, and Alloying show $1,770,469,077.27 in obligations on 1,618 awards.
