Bare printed circuit board manufacturing (NAICS 334412) obligations

Federal contract awards coded NAICS 334412, Bare Printed Circuit Board Manufacturing, carry $1,757,695,982.76 in obligations across 5,635 awards in the USAspending.gov file SpendingVault indexes. Census uses the code for establishments that manufacture bare (unpopulated) printed circuit boards. On a procurement record it is the industry tag on the award—not a count of populated assemblies, not a semiconductor fab total, and not outlays.

Key figures

  • Bare Printed Circuit Board Manufacturing (NAICS 334412) shows $1,757,695,982.76 in contract obligations.
  • The total covers 5,635 contract awards, not a board census.
  • Populated-assembly and other electronics NAICS are outside this table when tagged separately.
  • Dollars are obligations, not outlays.

Five thousand six hundred thirty-five awards, $1.76 billion

The $1,757,695,982.76 obligation stock sits on 5,635 contract awards, implying about $311,900 per award. Bare-board contracting can mix prototype lots with production runs. The packet does not split layers or materials. It supports the sum and the count.

Other electronic component manufacturing (334419) is a neighboring residual. Bare boards are the specific 334412 tag. Mixing populated-board or component residuals with this page invents a combined electronics total unless you cite each NAICS.

Bare boards versus populated assemblies

Census isolates unpopulated boards. On USAspending.gov the isolation is whichever NAICS the contracting office entered. If the office tagged a populated assembly 334412, it still feeds $1,757,695,982.76 because the reported code is 334412. The table follows the tag, not a reader’s guess about stuffing.

Assistance for electronics manufacturing may lack NAICS. Those grants would not increment this industry total. Keep 334412 on the contract hub.

Obligations versus board invoices

A PCB contract can be obligated by delivery order while invoices follow shipment. Outlays are not in the packet. The 5,635 awards include modifications that keep 334412. Negative modifications reduce the net without meaning that a board design was scrapped.

What 5,635 does not count

The award count is not 5,635 boards and not 5,635 fabs. One electronics IDIQ can generate many of those rows. The industry page lists recipients.

Using the bare-PCB hub

The Bare Printed Circuit Board Manufacturing industry page lists the USAspending.gov actions behind $1.76 billion. Compare 334412 with telephone apparatus, electromedical devices, and miscellaneous electrical equipment on the all-industries index.

Citing 334412 without turning it into a chip-fab story

Quote $1,757,695,982.76 as USAspending contract obligations on 5,635 awards tagged NAICS 334412. Do not fold in semiconductor or populated-assembly NAICS unless those awards also carry 334412. Bare boards are easy to confuse with the rest of the electronics buy; the industry table follows the code on the award.

Readers sometimes treat PCB dollars as a count of systems fielded. The public NAICS total does not support that conversion. The $1.76 billion is a contract-obligation stock. Delivery orders can raise the recorded commitment before boards ship. Keep outlays out of the sentence.

The 5,635-award count should travel with the dollars. Warehouse refreshes can move both figures. Recoding an order to other electronic components would send new actions off this page.

Assistance without NAICS remains outside. Quote USAspending.gov, quote obligations, quote 5,635 awards, and open the hub for recipients. Stop before converting bare printed circuit board manufacturing into a product recommendation.

Readers quoting this industry should keep two packet facts in one sentence: $1,757,695,983 in USAspending.gov contract obligations and 5,635 awards tagged NAICS 334412 (BARE PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARD MANUFACTURING). Dropping either figure hides whether the book is a few large vehicles or many small orders. The rounded obligation used for citation is $1,757,695,983; cents on the source total, if any, do not change the industry identity of the code.

BARE PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARD MANUFACTURING shows 5,635 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. BARE PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARD MANUFACTURING is an industry tag on awards, not a finished-goods census. Record corrections in the USAspending.gov warehouse can move both the $1,757,695,983 and the 5,635-award count. Treat the live BARE PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARD 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 334412 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 $1,757,695,983. Outlays remain unpublished here. Quote obligations, quote 5,635 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 $1,757,695,983 an appropriation, a budget request, or cash disbursed. It is the recorded contract-obligation stock for BARE PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARD MANUFACTURING (NAICS 334412) in the indexed USAspending.gov extract. Do not call 5,635 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 334412 bare printed circuit boards?
USAspending.gov contract awards tagged Bare Printed Circuit Board Manufacturing show $1,757,695,982.76 in obligations on 5,635 awards. That is a procurement commitment total, not boards shipped and not outlays. USAspending.gov is the source for the $1,757,695,983 obligation stock and the 5,635 contract awards tagged BARE PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARD MANUFACTURING (NAICS 334412). Assistance awards that omit NAICS are outside both figures.
Does this include populated circuit assemblies?
Only if those awards were also tagged 334412. Census defines 334412 as bare boards. Other electronics NAICS, when used, sit on other industry pages and are outside the $1,757,695,982.76 unless they carry 334412. Keep the citation on contract obligations: $1,757,695,983 on 5,635 awards coded NAICS 334412. Outlays, grants without NAICS, and unit counts are not in the packet that produced this page.
Do 5,635 awards mean 5,635 circuit boards?
No. The 5,635 figure counts contract records, including orders and modifications that keep 334412. One vehicle can cover many lots. The industry page lists the records. The industry hub lists the underlying USAspending.gov rows. This answer restates only packet facts: NAICS 334412, $1,757,695,983 obligated, and 5,635 awards for BARE PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARD MANUFACTURING.
Are electronics-manufacturing grants included?
Assistance awards often lack NAICS, so they are omitted from this rollup. The $1,757,695,982.76 and 5,635 awards are the contract slice tagged 334412. Do not treat 5,635 as establishments or $1,757,695,983 as cash disbursed. Both numbers describe USAspending.gov contract actions tagged NAICS 334412 (BARE PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARD MANUFACTURING), not assistance and not outlays.
