Nonferrous metal rolling except copper and aluminum (NAICS 331491)

Two thousand nine hundred sixty-three awards, $1.95 billion

The $1,953,266,778.09 obligation stock sits on 2,963 contract awards, implying about $659,200 per award. Specialty nonferrous mill products in federal buying can sit on metals schedules with many orders. The packet does not name the metals. It supports the sum and the count. Copper rolling is a different NAICS (331420) in this extract.

The Census exception is explicit: copper and aluminum rolling sit elsewhere when tagged that way. Only 331491 feeds this $1.95 billion. Mixing copper-mill totals with this page invents a combined nonferrous figure the packet does not contain.

Mill products, not mining

Rolling, drawing, and extruding are mill processes. Mining and primary smelting use other NAICS lines when tagged that way. Readers who add mine-assistance or mineral programs to $1,953,266,778.09 mix instruments and industries.

Assistance for critical-minerals programs may lack NAICS. Those grants would not increment this industry total. Keep 331491 on the contract hub.

Obligations versus mill invoices

A mill-products contract can be obligated by delivery order while invoices follow shipment. Outlays are not in the packet. The 2,963 awards include modifications that keep 331491. Negative modifications reduce the net without meaning that a mill closed.

What 2,963 does not count

The award count is not 2,963 mills and not 2,963 tons. One metals IDIQ can generate many of those rows. The industry page lists recipients.

Using the nonferrous-rolling hub

The Nonferrous Metal (except Copper and Aluminum) Rolling, Drawing, and Extruding industry page lists the USAspending.gov actions behind $1.95 billion. Compare 331491 with copper rolling 331420 on the all-industries index and cite each code separately.

Citing 331491 without merging copper and aluminum mills

Quote $1,953,266,778.09 as USAspending contract obligations on 2,963 awards tagged NAICS 331491. Do not fold in copper rolling (331420) or aluminum mill NAICS unless those awards also carry 331491. The Census title’s exception is the point of the code.

Readers sometimes treat mill-product dollars as a strategic-stockpile inventory. The public NAICS total does not support that conversion. The $1.95 billion is a contract-obligation stock. Delivery orders can raise the recorded commitment before metal ships. Keep outlays out of the sentence.

The 2,963-award count should travel with the dollars. Warehouse refreshes can move both figures. Recoding an order to copper rolling would send new actions to 331420.

Assistance without NAICS remains outside. Quote USAspending.gov, quote obligations, quote 2,963 awards, and open the hub for recipients. Stop before converting nonferrous mill products into a commodities-trading story.

Readers quoting this industry should keep two packet facts in one sentence: $1,953,266,778 in USAspending.gov contract obligations and 2,963 awards tagged NAICS 331491 (NONFERROUS METAL (EXCEPT COPPER AND ALUMINUM) ROLLING, DRAWING, AND EXTRUDING). Dropping either figure hides whether the book is a few large vehicles or many small orders. The rounded obligation used for citation is $1,953,266,778; cents on the source total, if any, do not change the industry identity of the code.

NONFERROUS METAL (EXCEPT COPPER AND ALUMINUM) ROLLING, DRAWING, AND EXTRUDING shows 2,963 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. NONFERROUS METAL (EXCEPT COPPER AND ALUMINUM) ROLLING, DRAWING, AND EXTRUDING is an industry tag on awards, not a finished-goods census. Record corrections in the USAspending.gov warehouse can move both the $1,953,266,778 and the 2,963-award count. Treat the live NONFERROUS METAL (EXCEPT COPPER AND ALUMINUM) ROLLING, DRAWING, AND EXTRUDING industry page as current and this file as a reading of the harvested packet.

Internal comparison belongs on the all-industries index, where NAICS 331491 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 $1,953,266,778. Outlays remain unpublished here. Quote obligations, quote 2,963 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 $1,953,266,778 an appropriation, a budget request, or cash disbursed. It is the recorded contract-obligation stock for NONFERROUS METAL (EXCEPT COPPER AND ALUMINUM) ROLLING, DRAWING, AND EXTRUDING (NAICS 331491) in the indexed USAspending.gov extract. Do not call 2,963 a count of establishments. It is an award-record count. Those two constraints are the whole method of this guide.

Questions

How much is obligated under NAICS 331491 nonferrous rolling?

USAspending.gov contract awards tagged Nonferrous Metal (except Copper and Aluminum) Rolling, Drawing, and Extruding show $1,953,266,778.09 in obligations on 2,963 awards. That is a procurement commitment total, not tons produced and not outlays. USAspending.gov is the source for the $1,953,266,778 obligation stock and the 2,963 contract awards tagged NONFERROUS METAL (EXCEPT COPPER AND ALUMINUM) ROLLING, DRAWING, AND EXTRUDING (NAICS 331491). Assistance awards that omit NAICS are outside both figures.

Does this include copper or aluminum mill products?

Not by the Census definition when those awards are tagged to copper or aluminum mill codes. Copper rolling in this extract uses NAICS 331420. Only 331491 feeds the $1,953,266,778.09 on this page. Keep the citation on contract obligations: $1,953,266,778 on 2,963 awards coded NAICS 331491. Outlays, grants without NAICS, and unit counts are not in the packet that produced this page.

Do 2,963 awards mean 2,963 mills?

No. The 2,963 figure counts contract records, including orders and modifications that keep 331491. One vehicle can generate many awards. The industry page lists the records.

This answer restates only packet facts: NAICS 331491, $1,953,266,778 obligated, and 2,963 awards for NONFERROUS METAL (EXCEPT COPPER AND ALUMINUM) ROLLING, DRAWING, AND EXTRUDING.

Are mineral-development grants included?

Assistance awards often lack NAICS, so they are omitted from this rollup. The $1,953,266,778.09 and 2,963 awards are the contract slice tagged 331491. Do not treat 2,963 as establishments or $1,953,266,778 as cash disbursed. Both numbers describe USAspending.gov contract actions tagged NAICS 331491 (NONFERROUS METAL (EXCEPT COPPER AND ALUMINUM) ROLLING, DRAWING, AND EXTRUDING), not assistance and not outlays.
