Federal obligations in automobile and light-duty motor vehicle manufacturing (NAICS 336110)

$800.0M in federal contract obligations is tagged to automobile and light-duty motor vehicle manufacturing, NAICS 336110, across 7,404 awards in USAspending.gov data indexed here. The code is complete passenger cars and light-duty vehicles from manufacturers—not heavy-duty trucks, not industrial forklifts, and not aftermarket parts. Dollars are obligations, not outlays. Assistance awards may not carry NAICS, so grant-funded fleet purchases that never become contracts sit outside this total.

Complete light vehicles at $800.0M

Federal fleets buy passenger automobiles and light-duty motor vehicles from manufacturers classified in 336110. Tagged obligations sum to $800.0M on 7,404 awards. That is not a vehicle inventory count. VIN lists and model-year mixes are not in the packet facts.

Heavy-duty truck manufacturing (336120) and light truck and utility vehicle manufacturing (336112) are neighboring vehicle codes. Other motor vehicle parts manufacturing (336390) is parts, not complete vehicles. $800.0M follows the 336110 tag on 7,404 actions as recorded.

7,404 awards and a mixed fleet average

Seven thousand four hundred four awards against $800.0M averages about $108,000 per action. That figure can mix complete vehicles, options, and modifications. It is not a sticker price and not a count of unique manufacturers.

Fleet contracts often split into many delivery orders, which inflates 7,404 relative to a single multi-year vehicle buy. Amount sort on the industry hub shows whether a few large OEM rows dominate $800.0M or whether the total is a thick middle of smaller vehicle actions.

Cars versus trucks versus parts

An automobile OEM action belongs in 336110. A heavy-duty highway truck belongs in 336120. An industrial forklift belongs in 333924. A replacement part may land in 336390. Dual-role firms can be tagged either way. The $800.0M follows 336110 on 7,404 tagged awards.

Cite this industry as $800.0M in USAspending contract obligations tagged to NAICS 336110, automobile and light-duty motor vehicle manufacturing, on 7,404 awards. The packet facts do not include a fiscal year. Live tables can move; the harvested pair remains $800.0M and 7,404.

Obligation timing on vehicle lots

Vehicle contracts often obligate a quantity and pay on delivery and inspection. $800.0M is committed value on 7,404 tagged actions, not cash already paid for every sedan or light-duty unit. Cancellations de-obligate. Outlay fields track payments.

Classification errors appear when a vendor builds both automobiles and light trucks. Keep $800.0M attached to 336110 as tagged, then separate complete vehicles from parts in the 7,404 rows where descriptions allow. Re-tagging neighbor codes by hand is out of scope.

Fleet OEM tags versus parts and heavy trucks

Complete light vehicles and spare-parts restocks can share a vendor family and still require different NAICS tags. $800.0M on 7,404 awards follows 336110 as recorded. Heavy-duty trucks (336120), industrial trucks (333924), and other motor vehicle parts (336390) remain outside that cell. The about $108,000 average mixes vehicles, options, and modifications; it is not a sticker and not a VIN count.

Fleet IDIQs split into delivery orders, which inflates 7,404 relative to unique OEMs. Amount sort on the automobile and light-duty motor vehicle manufacturing industry page is the way to see whether a few large OEM rows dominate $800.0M.
