Federal obligations in heavy duty truck manufacturing (NAICS 336120)

The $1.26 billion manufacturing obligation

USAspending stores a NAICS on each contract action. Rolling up 336120 produces $1,261,136,893.91 obligated. That is the tagged manufacturing total for this extract. It is not the retail price of a truck times a fleet size, and it is not a count of vehicles delivered; unit counts are not in the packet facts. Treat the dollar figure as committed contract value coded to this industry.

Heavy duty trucks in Census terms are complete motor vehicles in the heavy-duty class, typically medium- and heavy-duty chassis assembled as trucks. Federal buyers include agencies that need vocational trucks, tactical or support trucks bought through manufacturers coded here, and related production contracts. A parts-only award may be coded to a parts NAICS instead. The 1,711 actions are the ones that landed in 336120.

1,711 awards and average action size

One thousand seven hundred eleven awards against $1,261,136,893.91 averages about $737,000 per action. Vehicle manufacturing often mixes full vehicle buys, options, and engineering change orders. A single large fleet contract can sit beside many smaller delivery orders. The average is a ratio of the two packet facts, not a sticker price. Open the industry hub to see the size distribution.

Compared with fastener or electrical-wholesale codes that run tens of thousands of small orders, 1,711 is a mid-count manufacturing pattern. Compared with three-award financial-services codes, it is fragmented. Neither comparison is a ranking in the packet; it is a reading of 1,711 versus $1,261,136,893.91 on this code alone.

Heavy trucks versus light trucks and parts

NAICS 336120 is not light truck and utility vehicle manufacturing, which is a separate code. It is also not motor vehicle parts manufacturing. If a searcher wants pickups or SUVs, this $1,261,136,893.91 is the wrong bucket. If the searcher wants transmissions or axles, those often sit in parts codes. SpendingVault’s all-industries list is the map of those neighbors; this guide stays on 336120.

Contract coding follows the principal product. A manufacturer of complete heavy trucks should be 336120 even if the order includes some spare parts. A pure parts supplier should not. Errors exist in any large extract. The obligation total remains the sum of actions as coded: $1,261,136,893.91 on 1,711 awards.

A complete citation of this industry is $1,261,136,893.91 in USAspending contract obligations tagged to NAICS 336120, heavy duty truck manufacturing, on 1,711 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 $1,261,136,893.91 and 1,711.

Obligations, outlays, and assistance

This page never treats the $1,261,136,893.91 as cash out the door. Outlays can trail production and acceptance. Modifications can raise or lower obligations after the original award. Assistance awards may not carry NAICS, so a grant that helps a locality buy trucks might never touch 336120. Those are the two standing caveats on every SpendingVault industry guide: unit is obligations, and the universe is NAICS-tagged contracts.

Classification errors are expected at the margin. Vendors that straddle light trucks, power-train parts, and industrial forklifts may land in 336120 on some actions and in a neighbor on others. Light truck manufacturing (336112) and industrial truck machinery (333924) are different complete-machine families. The public-record stance is to keep $1,261,136,893.91 attached to 336120 as tagged, then scan the 1,711 rows for full-vehicle buys versus smaller manufacturing modifications. Re-tagging the extract by hand is out of scope for this overlay.

Where the award list lives

The HEAVY DUTY TRUCK MANUFACTURING industry page is the overlay target. It holds the tables for the $1,261,136,893.91 and the 1,711 count. This JSON is prose only: source USAspending.gov, facts from the packet, no invented fiscal year or vendor list. Use the industry directory to hop to related vehicle and parts codes.

Complete heavy trucks versus parts and light-duty codes

Award count interprets the buying pattern. 1,711 actions producing $1,261,136,893.91 is complete-vehicle manufacturing lots plus change orders, with about $737,000 per action as the simple average. That average hides mix: modifications, options, and delivery orders all increment count. 1,711 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 $1,261,136,893.91 across 1,711 tagged heavy duty truck 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 heavy duty truck 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 $1,261,136,893.91, 1,711, the obligation unit, and the boundary around light trucks, power-train parts, and industrial forklifts.

Questions

How much federal contract money is coded to heavy duty truck manufacturing?

NAICS 336120 shows $1,261,136,893.91 in obligations across 1,711 USAspending contract awards. That is manufacturing-coded contract commitments, not a vehicle unit count and not an outlay total. Quote it as USAspending contract obligations tagged to NAICS 336120, not as cash outlays. Assistance awards may not carry NAICS, so grants remain outside the 1,711-award extract behind $1,261,136,893.91.

Does 336120 include pickup trucks?

No. Light truck and utility vehicle manufacturing is a different NAICS. This page’s $1,261,136,893.91 is heavy duty truck manufacturing as tagged on contract actions. Check the all-industries list for the light-truck code if that is the question. Light truck manufacturing (336112) and industrial truck machinery (333924) are different complete-machine families. Keep $1,261,136,893.91 attached to 336120 as tagged on 1,711 actions; do not merge neighbor codes into the same unlabeled cell.

Is the $1.26 billion already paid to truck makers?

It is obligated, not necessarily paid. Outlays follow delivery and invoicing and can differ after modifications. The packet facts for this guide are the $1,261,136,893.91 obligation total and the 1,711 award count only. That pattern is complete-vehicle manufacturing lots plus change orders, with about $737,000 per action as the simple average of $1,261,136,893.91 over 1,711 awards. Scan the 1,711 rows for full-vehicle buys versus smaller manufacturing modifications.

Where can I see the 1,711 heavy duty truck awards?

On the industry page for NAICS 336120. This guide restates the two USAspending facts and explains that assistance awards may lack NAICS. It does not add agency or recipient totals that are not in the packet. This industry guide covers tagged contracts only: $1,261,136,893.91 obligated on 1,711 heavy duty truck manufacturing awards in USAspending. Outlays are a different field; assistance without NAICS is a different award type.
