Miscellaneous fabricated metal manufacturing (NAICS 332999) obligations

32,745 awards on a residual metal-products code

Dividing $1,761,762,215.83 by 32,745 produces about $53,800 per award. That low average plus a very high count matches catalog and spare-parts orders against fabricated-metal vehicles. The packet does not list parts. It shows that 32,745 contract records carry 332999—the highest award count in this batch of industry packets.

More specific fabricated-metal NAICS, when used, sit elsewhere. 332999 is the residual as reported. Two awards can share the code and still describe different products. The live table is where award descriptions can be read if present.

Residual manufacturing, not mill products

Copper rolling (331420) and other nonferrous rolling (331491) are mill codes. 332999 is fabricated metal products—work that starts from mill shapes. Mixing mill and fabrication totals invents a combined metals figure this packet does not contain.

Assistance for manufacturing programs may lack NAICS. Those grants would not increment $1,761,762,215.83. Keep 332999 on the contract hub.

Obligations versus parts invoices

A fabricated-metal contract can be obligated by delivery order while invoices follow shipment. Outlays are not in the packet. The 32,745 awards include modifications that keep 332999. Negative modifications reduce the net without meaning that a part was removed from stock.

What 32,745 does not count

The award count is not 32,745 factories and not 32,745 SKUs. One supply schedule can generate a large share of those rows. The industry page lists recipients.

Using the miscellaneous-fabricated-metal hub

The All Other Miscellaneous Fabricated Metal Product Manufacturing industry page lists the USAspending.gov actions behind $1.76 billion. Compare 332999 with miscellaneous electrical equipment 335999 on the all-industries index: both are high-count residuals with different product families.

Citing 332999 without inflating it into a metals budget

Quote $1,761,762,215.83 as USAspending contract obligations on 32,745 awards tagged NAICS 332999. Do not fold in mill-product or machinery NAICS unless those awards also carry 332999. Residual fabricated metal is easy to confuse with the rest of the metals buy; the industry table follows the code on the award.

Lead with the award count when the question is volume of actions; lead with the dollars when the question is obligated value. Do not describe 32,745 as a plant census. Option years and catalog buys can add rows before invoices catch up.

Warehouse refreshes can move both the $1,761,762,215.83 and the 32,745 count. Recoding an order to a tighter 332xxx line would send new actions off this residual. Treat the live hub as current.

Assistance without NAICS remains outside. Quote USAspending.gov, quote obligations, quote 32,745 awards, and open the hub for recipients. Stop before converting miscellaneous fabricated metal manufacturing into a product recommendation.

Readers quoting this industry should keep two packet facts in one sentence: $1,761,762,216 in USAspending.gov contract obligations and 32,745 awards tagged NAICS 332999 (ALL OTHER MISCELLANEOUS FABRICATED METAL PRODUCT MANUFACTURING). Dropping either figure hides whether the book is a few large vehicles or many small orders. The rounded obligation used for citation is $1,761,762,216; cents on the source total, if any, do not change the industry identity of the code.

ALL OTHER MISCELLANEOUS FABRICATED METAL PRODUCT MANUFACTURING shows a high award-record count (32,745), consistent with catalog orders, task orders, and modifications that keep the same NAICS. It is not a census of vendors. Durable-goods manufacturing codes record tagged contractor commitments, not property books or units fielded. ALL OTHER MISCELLANEOUS FABRICATED METAL PRODUCT MANUFACTURING is an industry tag on awards, not a finished-goods census. Record corrections in the USAspending.gov warehouse can move both the $1,761,762,216 and the 32,745-award count. Treat the live ALL OTHER MISCELLANEOUS FABRICATED METAL PRODUCT MANUFACTURING industry page as current and this file as a reading of the harvested packet.

Internal comparison belongs on the all-industries index, where NAICS 332999 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 $1,761,762,216. Outlays remain unpublished here. Quote obligations, quote 32,745 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.

Questions

How much is obligated under NAICS 332999 miscellaneous fabricated metal?

USAspending.gov contract awards tagged All Other Miscellaneous Fabricated Metal Product Manufacturing show $1,761,762,215.83 in obligations on 32,745 awards. That is a procurement commitment total, not a parts census and not outlays. USAspending.gov is the source for the $1,761,762,216 obligation stock and the 32,745 contract awards tagged ALL OTHER MISCELLANEOUS FABRICATED METAL PRODUCT MANUFACTURING (NAICS 332999). Assistance awards that omit NAICS are outside both figures.

Why are there more than 32,000 awards?

The indexed file contains 32,745 contract records with NAICS 332999, including delivery orders and modifications. Residual metal-product schedules often generate many small actions. The count is not a count of factories. Keep the citation on contract obligations: $1,761,762,216 on 32,745 awards coded NAICS 332999. Outlays, grants without NAICS, and unit counts are not in the packet that produced this page.

Is this the same as copper or nonferrous rolling?

No. Mill-product codes 331420 and 331491, when tagged that way, sit on other industry pages. Only awards reported as 332999 feed the $1,761,762,215.83. The industry hub lists the underlying USAspending.gov rows. This answer restates only packet facts: NAICS 332999, $1,761,762,216 obligated, and 32,745 awards for ALL OTHER MISCELLANEOUS FABRICATED METAL PRODUCT MANUFACTURING.

Are manufacturing grants included?

Assistance awards often lack NAICS, so they are omitted from this rollup. The $1,761,762,215.83 and 32,745 awards are the contract slice tagged 332999. Do not treat 32,745 as establishments or $1,761,762,216 as cash disbursed. Both numbers describe USAspending.gov contract actions tagged NAICS 332999 (ALL OTHER MISCELLANEOUS FABRICATED METAL PRODUCT MANUFACTURING), not assistance and not outlays.
