Federal obligations in light truck and utility vehicle manufacturing (NAICS 336112)

Light-duty complete vehicles: $1.04 billion tagged

USAspending rolls contract actions tagged 336112 to $1,040,806,147.89 obligated. That is manufacturing of complete light trucks and utility vehicles as the vendor’s industry, not a count of keys handed over. Unit volume is not in the packet facts. A fleet order, a modification, and a small add-on can all sit in the same NAICS without this guide knowing how many trucks each row represents.

Federal light-duty fleets include administrative vehicles, utility bodies on light chassis, and other complete vehicles that Census classifies in this industry. Vocational medium-duty and heavy-duty complete trucks belong in 336120, a neighboring code in this slice. Mixing the two NAICS invents a “truck budget” that the extract does not support as a single tagged total.

3,087 awards versus the heavy-duty code

Three thousand eighty-seven awards against $1,040,806,147.89 averages about $337,000 per action. That is lower than the heavy-duty manufacturing average in this slice and higher than fastener catalog averages. Light-duty buying often uses schedules and delivery orders, which raises award count. The average is the ratio of the two packet facts only.

This file does not claim that 336112 is larger or smaller than 336120 in policy importance. It states 336112’s own pair: $1,040,806,147.89 and 3,087. Open both industry hubs if the question is the full complete-vehicle manufacturing view, and keep the codes separate in the spreadsheet.

Parts, upfits, and mis-tags

Motor vehicle parts manufacturing is a different NAICS family. An upfitter that is classified as a manufacturer of complete light trucks may land in 336112; a parts-only shop should not. Body manufacturers have still other codes. The $1,040,806,147.89 follows the 336112 tag on 3,087 actions as recorded.

Assistance awards may not carry NAICS. A state energy or emergency-management grant that buys pickups will usually miss this manufacturing rollup. Contract fleet buys tagged 336112 are what this page measures.

A complete citation of this industry is $1,040,806,147.89 in USAspending contract obligations tagged to NAICS 336112, light truck and utility vehicle manufacturing, on 3,087 awards. Anything less—dropping the NAICS, dropping the word obligations, or dropping the contract-only universe—overstates what the extract contains. The packet facts do not include a fiscal year, so this guide does not invent one. Live tables on the industry hub can move when USAspending posts modifications; the harvested pair remains $1,040,806,147.89 and 3,087.

Obligation timing on vehicle production

Vehicle contracts often obligate a quantity or a ceiling, then pay on delivery and inspection. The $1,040,806,147.89 is the commitment total, not cash already sent to assembly plants. Cancellations and quantity cuts de-obligate. Keep outlays on a separate line if the question is payments.

Classification errors are expected at the margin. Vendors that straddle heavy-duty complete trucks, industrial forklifts, and power-train parts may land in 336112 on some actions and in a neighbor on others. Heavy duty truck manufacturing (336120) is the medium- and heavy-duty complete-vehicle code. The public-record stance is to keep $1,040,806,147.89 attached to 336112 as tagged, then compare 3,087 light-duty rows to the heavy-duty hub without summing them unlabeled. Re-tagging the extract by hand is out of scope for this overlay.

Hub and directory

The light truck and utility vehicle manufacturing industry page lists the 3,087 actions behind $1,040,806,147.89. The all-industries directory links heavy-duty trucks and parts codes. Source: USAspending.gov contract awards. No fiscal year is stated because none is in the packet.

Light-duty complete vehicles stay in their own NAICS cell

Award count interprets the buying pattern. 3,087 actions producing $1,040,806,147.89 is complete light-duty vehicle manufacturing plus delivery orders, with about $337,000 per action as the simple average. That average hides mix: modifications, options, and delivery orders all increment count. 3,087 is not a count of unique companies and not a count of physical units. Use the hub amount sort to see whether a few large rows plus a long tail make up most of the tagged total.

Outlays remain a separate USAspending concept. An agency can obligate $1,040,806,147.89 across 3,087 tagged light truck and utility vehicle manufacturing actions and pay on a different calendar. De-obligations after cancellations reduce the obligation ledger; they do not rewrite the fact that this NAICS has been a large tagged category in the harvest. Assistance without NAICS still sits outside even when the real-world activity looks similar. Program pages answer the grant question; this page answers the tagged-contract question.

Internal links on this file point only to the light truck and utility vehicle manufacturing industry page and the all-industries directory. Those are the packet hrefs. Neighboring industry codes mentioned in prose are classification context only. Source note, copied from the packet: NAICS from USAspending contract awards. Assistance awards may not carry NAICS. The overlay’s job is to state $1,040,806,147.89, 3,087, the obligation unit, and the boundary around heavy-duty complete trucks, industrial forklifts, and power-train parts.

Questions

How much federal contract money is coded to light truck manufacturing?

NAICS 336112 shows $1,040,806,147.89 in obligations on 3,087 USAspending contract awards. That is complete light trucks and utility vehicles as tagged, not heavy-duty trucks and not a vehicle unit count. The unit is obligations, not outlays. Quote it as USAspending contract obligations tagged to NAICS 336112, not as cash outlays. Assistance awards may not carry NAICS, so grants remain outside the 3,087-award extract behind $1,040,806,147.89.

Is NAICS 336112 the same as heavy duty truck manufacturing?

No. Heavy duty truck manufacturing is 336120. This page’s $1,040,806,147.89 is 336112 only. Use the all-industries list to open the heavy-duty code as a separate rollup. Heavy duty truck manufacturing (336120) is the medium- and heavy-duty complete-vehicle code. Keep $1,040,806,147.89 attached to 336112 as tagged on 3,087 actions; do not merge neighbor codes into the same unlabeled cell.

Does the $1.04 billion include spare parts?

Only if the action was tagged 336112. Parts manufacturing generally uses other NAICS. The 3,087 awards follow the light-truck manufacturing tag. Award descriptions on the industry hub are the check for mixed orders. That pattern is complete light-duty vehicle manufacturing plus delivery orders, with about $337,000 per action as the simple average of $1,040,806,147.89 over 3,087 awards. Compare 3,087 light-duty rows to the heavy-duty hub without summing them unlabeled.

Are grant-funded pickups in this total?

Usually not. Assistance awards may not carry NAICS, so they fall outside this contract extract. Program pages cover grants; this industry page covers tagged manufacturing contracts totaling $1,040,806,147.89. This industry guide covers tagged contracts only: $1,040,806,147.89 obligated on 3,087 light truck and utility vehicle manufacturing awards in USAspending. Outlays are a different field; assistance without NAICS is a different award type.
