Federal obligations in prefabricated metal building and component manufacturing (NAICS 332311)

$672.0M in federal contract obligations is tagged to prefabricated metal building and component manufacturing, NAICS 332311, across 1,283 awards in USAspending.gov data indexed here. The fabricated-metal code covers factory-made metal buildings and components—not site preparation contractors and not nonresidential lessors. Dollars are obligations, not outlays. Assistance awards may not carry NAICS, so grant-funded structures that never become contracts sit outside this total.

Key figures

  • NAICS 332311 contract obligations are $672.0M on 1,283 awards.
  • The code is prefab metal building manufacturing, not site prep or leasing.
  • Average action size is about $524,000.
  • Figures are USAspending obligations, not outlays or building counts.
  • Assistance without NAICS is excluded.

Factory-made metal buildings at $672.0M

Federal sites buy prefabricated metal buildings and components from manufacturers in 332311. Tagged obligations sum to $672.0M on 1,283 awards. The total is not a count of buildings erected and not acreage under roof.

Site preparation contractors (238910) ready the ground. Lessors of nonresidential buildings (531120) rent finished space. Fabricated structural metal manufacturing (332312) is a related metal-shop code. $672.0M follows the 332311 prefab tag. Packet facts are the dollar total and the 1,283 count.

1,283 awards and a building-lot average

One thousand two hundred eighty-three awards against $672.0M averages about $524,000 per action. That size fits complete prefab buildings and large component lots better than a single panel ticket. Modifications still increment 1,283, so the count is not unique manufacturers and not unique buildings.

A few large hangar or warehouse packages can dominate $672.0M. Amount sort on the industry hub shows that concentration against the rest of the 1,283 rows. Treat $524,000 as a divider, not a typical kit price.

A kit can ship without a site being ready. That is why 332311 manufacturing and 238910 site prep must stay separate even on the same project. $672.0M on 1,283 awards is the factory tag. Later leases are 531120. Building inventories are not in the packet.

Manufacturing versus dirt work and leasing

332311 makes prefab metal buildings. 238910 prepares sites. 531120 leases nonresidential buildings. Dual-role vendors that both fabricate and erect can be tagged either way. $672.0M stays with 332311 on 1,283 tagged actions.

Cite this industry as $672.0M in USAspending contract obligations tagged to NAICS 332311, prefabricated metal building and component manufacturing, on 1,283 awards. The packet has no fiscal year. Live tables can move; the harvested pair remains $672.0M and 1,283.

Obligation timing on building kits

Prefab contracts often obligate a kit and pay on factory acceptance and delivery. $672.0M is committed value on 1,283 tagged actions, not cash already paid for every building. Cancellations de-obligate. Outlays track payments separately.

Keep $672.0M attached to 332311 as tagged. This overlay does not merge site-prep, lessor, or structural-metal dollars into the prefab-building cell. Read descriptions on the 1,283 rows where the hub allows.

Prefab manufacturing ends at the factory gate in this NAICS. Earthwork to receive the kit is 238910. Later occupancy can be 531120. $672.0M on 1,283 awards is the 332311 factory tag only. Building counts are not in the packet. The about $524,000 average mixes kits and components. Source: USAspending.gov contract awards.

Factory kits versus dirt work and occupancy

A prefab metal building can be manufactured, erected on a prepared site, and later leased. Those steps take different NAICS tags. $672.0M on 1,283 awards is the 332311 manufacturing tag. Site preparation (238910) is earthwork. Nonresidential lessors (531120) rent space. Fabricated structural metal (332312) is a related shop code, not this prefab title.

The about $524,000 average mixes complete kits and component lots. Amount sort on the prefabricated metal building industry page shows concentration inside $672.0M. Building counts are not in the packet. 1,283 is not unique manufacturers.
