Federal obligations in motor vehicle body manufacturing (NAICS 336211)

Body plants, not complete-vehicle NAICS 336111

NAICS 336211 covers establishments that manufacture motor vehicle bodies. Federal buys of ambulance bodies, truck bodies, or similar shells can land here when the award is tagged 336211. Complete automobile manufacturing (336111) and armored-vehicle manufacturing sit on other 336 lines. The $3,925,124,532.12 total is the body-manufacturing tag, not “all federal vehicles.”

A dealer that sells finished sedans under 336111 will not raise this body-plant row. A body builder tagged 336211 will. SpendingVault reports the USAspending award tag, not an NHTSA VIN census and not an FEC employer string such as “auto.”

7,658 awards on a $3.93 billion obligation stock

Seven thousand six hundred fifty-eight awards produced $3,925,124,532.12 in obligations. That action count is moderate-to-thick for a manufacturing class: body kits, incomplete-vehicle completions, and spare-structure orders can stack. The packet does not split ambulance bodies from cargo bodies. The table shows tagged dollars and the 7,658-award count.

Obligations move with new awards, options, and modifications, including deobligations. Outlays are payments for delivered bodies and are not this $3,925,124,532.12 rollup. A multi-year body vehicle can show a large commitment while invoices follow shipments. The industry page does not convert obligations into a unit calendar.

Contract NAICS versus assistance

USAspending.gov stores NAICS on contract actions. State vehicle-grant programs and many emergency-fleet assistance awards often have no NAICS field. Those dollars will not add to the 7,658 awards even when a body is welded on. Open program pages for grant-funded fleet work.

The label is a Census manufacturing classification. It is not a GVWR table and not campaign-finance text. Cite USAspending.gov via SpendingVault for $3,925,124,532.12 and the 7,658-award count.

Reading the 336211 table

The hub lists recipients and awards that share this NAICS tag. A large obligation is a disclosed commitment. It is not a finding that a body failed crash tests, that an upfit was unsafe, or that a small business was excluded. SpendingVault does not score vehicle safety from the dollar total.

Use award IDs, not the $3,925,124,532.12 headline, to separate two manufacturers. Chassis makers tagged 3361 may be missing from this body row. UEI and name changes are ordinary in the file.

Neighboring 3361 and 3362 codes

Automobile manufacturing (336111) and other motor-vehicle manufacturing lines are separate pages. Adding them to $3,925,124,532.12 would mix complete vehicles with body plants. That recode is not this page.

Assistance without NAICS remains outside the 7,658-award count. For a body builder that also holds grants, open the recipient record. This guide stays on contract NAICS 336211 from USAspending.gov. Keep obligations distinct from outlays.

Bodies versus finished automobiles

A sedan buy tagged 336111 will not raise the 7,658-award count. An ambulance-body contract tagged 336211 sits in $3,925,124,532.12 even if the same prime also holds a 336111 vehicle. SpendingVault does not merge those rows. Repair of vehicles sits in 8111, not manufacturing.

Searchers who want “all federal motor vehicles” must add complete-vehicle, armored-vehicle, and parts codes and will still miss assistance. This page does not perform that recode. Cite contract NAICS 336211 only. Do not treat the row as an FEC occupation called autoworker. The $3,925,124,532.12 figure remains an obligation stock on USAspending.gov. Modifications that cut an upfit line will lower the running total without publishing a fleet-age statistic on this hub. Open award rows for body-type descriptions. Neighboring 3361 lines stay on their own pages unless those awards were tagged 336211. A body kit tagged 336211 still sits in this rollup; a complete-car tag does not. The 7,658 awards remain an action count, not a plant census. Cite USAspending.gov contract NAICS 336211 only. Keep 336111 automobile manufacturing on its own industry page. An ambulance body tagged 336211 still sits in $3,925,124,532.12; a sedan buy tagged 336111 does not. The 7,658 awards remain an action count, not a VIN census. Keep armored-vehicle NAICS on their own pages. Cite USAspending.gov contract obligations only. Chassis plants tagged 3361 stay outside this body-manufacturing rollup unless the award itself carries 336211. Incomplete-vehicle completions tagged 336211 remain inside $3,925,124,532.12. The 7,658-award count is still not a plant roster.

Questions

How much has the federal government obligated under NAICS 336211?

USAspending.gov contract aggregates on SpendingVault show $3,925,124,532.12 in obligations across 7,658 awards tagged motor vehicle body manufacturing. The number is obligations, not outlays. Assistance awards without NAICS are omitted. It is not an FEC employer string and not a combined sector total across neighboring codes.

Does this include complete automobile manufacturing?

Complete automobile manufacturing is NAICS 336111. Those awards will not add to the $3,925,124,532.12 total unless tagged 336211. The 7,658 awards are the motor-vehicle-body manufacturing contract tag from USAspending.gov via SpendingVault. Adding 336111 is a recode you must document on this page.

Does this include auto repair shops?

Automotive repair sits in 8111, not 336211. Those awards will not add to the $3,925,124,532.12 total unless tagged 336211. The 7,658 awards are the body-manufacturing contract tag. Open repair-industry pages for maintenance NAICS, not this manufacturing rollup from USAspending.gov via SpendingVault.

Are these figures cash outlays for vehicle bodies?

No. They are obligations: legally binding commitments on contract actions. Outlays are payments for delivered bodies and are not this $3,925,124,532.12 rollup. A multi-year body vehicle can obligate a large amount while invoices follow shipments. SpendingVault cites USAspending.gov contract NAICS for the 7,658 awards.
