NAICS 335312 motor and generator manufacturing obligations

Federal contracts tagged NAICS 335312, Motor and Generator Manufacturing, show $1,424,879,229.83 in USAspending.gov obligations on SpendingVault. The extract covers 5,773 awards, a mean of about $247,000 per award. The code is a Census electrical-equipment class for motors and generators as tagged on contracts, not electric power distribution and not other engine equipment manufacturing. Dollars are obligations, not outlays; assistance without NAICS is excluded.

Key figures

  • NAICS 335312 motor-and-generator contracts show $1.4 billion obligated.
  • 5,773 awards average about $247,000 in the USAspending extract.
  • The code is electrical machines, not utility distribution or engines.
  • Figures are contract obligations, not outlays or units installed.

Electrical machines, not a utility bill

NAICS 335312 is motor and generator manufacturing. Contracting officers assign it when the principal product is electric motors, generators, and related machines as the Census class groups them. This $1,424,879,229.83 is that manufacturing tag. It is not kilowatt-hours sold, not a grid-expansion total, and not NAICS 221122 electric power distribution.

Five thousand seven hundred seventy-three awards produced a mean of about $247,000. Federal motor-and-generator buys mix catalog machines, shipboard or facility sets, and spare units, which sits between a small motor order and a dedicated generating-set program. The packet does not count horsepower, RPM, or units shipped.

Other engine equipment manufacturing (333618) is a residual engine class, not this electrical motor-and-generator code. A diesel-engine contract tagged 333618 does not sit in $1.4 billion under 335312. Those 5,773 awards are the motor-and-generator book as tagged, not a nameplate inventory in federal plants.

Awards versus machines delivered

The 5,773-award count is an award-identifier count, not a unit count of motors. USAspending may still group multiple delivery orders into awards. Dividing $1,424,879,229.83 by 5,773 awards is a mean obligation per award, not a price per kilowatt of nameplate capacity.

Manufacturing contracts often obligate estimated quantities and pay as machines ship. Unused options leave obligated balances unpaid. Treating $1.4 billion as generators already installed would overstate cash. SpendingVault reports the tagged machine sum, not a utility generation total.

What this total excludes

Assistance that funds rural electrification often lacks NAICS and does not enter $1,424,879,229.83. In-house depot rewind shops are not 335312 contracts. Electric power distribution is a utility class, not this manufacturing class.

Turbine and engine classes that produce mechanical power without being electric motors follow other 333 families. Mixed genset-and-switchgear kits follow the principal NAICS. Catalog motors, shipboard sets, and spare generators can share 335312 when that is the principal product. The $1,424,879,229.83 total does not split horsepower across the 5,773 awards.

How to use the 335312 hub

Read $1.4 billion and 5,773 awards as the motor-and-generator manufacturing tag, then open the motor and generator manufacturing industry page for award-level fields. Rank 335 electrical-equipment codes on the all-industries index without converting this machine class into a utility or residual-engine total.

This guide does not add nameplate-capacity tables because they are not in the facts object. A turbine or engine tagged to a 333 mechanical class is not this electrical-machine book. Quote obligations, not kilowatt-hours, and keep utility distribution out because 221122 is a different NAICS family.

Classification limits

Motors and generators are not electric power distribution and not residual engine equipment. SpendingVault reports the tagged 335312 sum.

Nameplate machines versus kilowatt-hours

Five thousand seven hundred seventy-three awards at $1,424,879,229.83 produce a mean of about $247,000. Motor-and-generator manufacturing is an electrical-machine product class, not electric power distribution (221122) and not residual other engine equipment (333618). A diesel engine tagged 333618 is not this $1.4 billion. A utility distribution contract tagged 221122 is not this $1.4 billion. The mean is not a price per kilowatt of nameplate capacity and not a unit cost.

Assistance that funds rural electrification often omits NAICS and stays outside $1,424,879,229.83. In-house depot rewind shops are not 335312 contracts. Mixed genset-and-switchgear kits follow the principal NAICS. Open the motor and generator manufacturing industry page for award-level fields. Rank 335 electrical-equipment codes on the all-industries index. Cite USAspending.gov. Unused options mean obligated machine dollars can exceed generators already installed. Extract updates will move both the dollars and the 5,773-award count. A searcher asking how much the federal government spent on generators should still separate electrical-machine manufacturing from utility distribution. The $1,424,879,229.83 figure answers the NAICS 335312 question only. The 5,773-award count answers how many award identifiers carried that tag, not how many machines were installed. Open the motor and generator manufacturing industry page, then compare other 335 electrical-equipment codes on the all-industries index. Keep the language to obligations recorded in USAspending.gov, and do not convert the mean of about $247,000 into a price per kilowatt.

Questions

How much is obligated under NAICS 335312?
Motor and generator manufacturing contracts in USAspending show $1,424,879,229.83 in obligations across 5,773 awards. That is an electrical-machine manufacturing tag, not utility distribution and not residual engine equipment. The figure is obligations, not outlays. Assistance without a NAICS code is excluded from this extract.
What is the average motor-and-generator award?
Dividing $1,424,879,229.83 by 5,773 awards yields about $247,000. That mean mixes catalog motors and larger generating sets in this extract. It is not a price per kilowatt and not a unit cost. The packet does not publish a median or a count of machines shipped.
Does this include electric power distribution?
Only contract actions tagged 335312. Electric power distribution is NAICS 221122, a utility class. Mixed generation-and-distribution buys follow the principal code the officer selected. This $1.4 billion is the motor-and-generator tag. Use utility hubs for distribution classes instead of this manufacturing code.
Are these dollars already paid to manufacturers?
No. USAspending reports obligations on this hub, not outlays. Open delivery orders and unused options can leave balances unliquidated after the award is recorded. The 5,773-award count is not a proof of machines installed. Cite USAspending.gov for the tagged extract on SpendingVault.
