Federal contract awards coded NAICS 336612, Boat Building, carry $1,790,446,029.34 in obligations across 1,747 awards in the USAspending.gov extract SpendingVault publishes.

Key figures
- Boat Building (NAICS 336612) shows $1,790,446,029.34 in contract obligations.
- The total covers 1,747 contract awards, not a hull census.
- Ship-building NAICS 336611 is outside this table when tagged separately.
- Dollars are obligations, not outlays; assistance without NAICS is excluded.
One thousand seven hundred forty-seven awards, $1.79 billion
The $1,790,446,029.34 obligation stock sits on 1,747 contract awards, implying about $1.02 million per award. Boat-building codes in federal buying can mix small-craft orders with larger patrol-boat vehicles. The packet does not split hull types. It supports the sum and the count.
Ship building and repairing (336611) is a different NAICS for ships, typically larger vessels. Mixing shipyard totals with $1,790,446,029.34 invents a combined maritime-construction figure this packet does not contain unless you cite both codes.
Boats versus ships on the award tag
Census draws a boat/ship line by vessel type. On USAspending.gov the line is whichever NAICS the contracting office entered. If the office tagged a craft 336612, it feeds this $1.79 billion even if a reader would have called it a ship.
Assistance for maritime academies or port programs may lack NAICS. Those grants would not increment this industry total. Keep 336612 on the contract hub.
Obligations versus yard invoices
A boat-building contract can be obligated at award or by milestone while progress invoices follow construction. Outlays are not in the packet. The 1,747 awards include modifications that keep 336612. Negative modifications reduce the net without meaning that a hull was cancelled unless the live table shows it.
What 1,747 does not count
The award count is not 1,747 boats and not 1,747 yards. One small-craft IDIQ can generate many of those rows. The industry page lists recipients.
Using the boat-building hub
The Boat Building industry page lists the USAspending.gov actions behind $1.79 billion. Agencies and vendors belong there. Compare 336612 with ship building 336611 on the all-industries index.
Citing 336612 without turning it into a fleet inventory
Quote $1,790,446,029.34 as USAspending contract obligations on 1,747 awards tagged NAICS 336612. Do not convert the total into hulls delivered. Boat-building NAICS on contracts record contractor commitments as classified, not a naval registry.
Ship-repair and ship-construction tagged 336611 are outside this total. Boat building tagged 336612 is inside. The table follows the code on the award.
The 1,747-award count should travel with the dollars. Warehouse refreshes can move both figures. Recoding a craft to ship building would send new actions to 336611.
Assistance without NAICS remains outside. Quote USAspending.gov, quote obligations, quote 1,747 awards, and open the hub for recipients. Stop before converting boat building into a product recommendation or a naval-strategy argument.
Readers quoting this industry should keep two packet facts in one sentence: $1,790,446,029 in USAspending.gov contract obligations and 1,747 awards tagged NAICS 336612 (BOAT BUILDING). Dropping either figure hides whether the book is a few large vehicles or many small orders. The rounded obligation used for citation is $1,790,446,029; cents on the source total, if any, do not change the industry identity of the code.
BOAT BUILDING shows 1,747 award records, enough to include recurring orders without resembling a micro-purchase flood. Modifications that keep the code are inside the count. Durable-goods manufacturing codes record tagged contractor commitments, not property books or units fielded. BOAT BUILDING is an industry tag on awards, not a finished-goods census. Record corrections in the USAspending.gov warehouse can move both the $1,790,446,029 and the 1,747-award count. Treat the live BOAT BUILDING industry page as current and this file as a reading of the harvested packet.
Internal comparison belongs on the all-industries index, where NAICS 336612 sits beside other six-digit contract totals. Adding neighboring codes by hand creates a new total this packet does not contain; cite each NAICS if you add. Assistance awards that omit NAICS remain outside $1,790,446,029. Outlays remain unpublished here. Quote obligations, quote 1,747 awards, cite USAspending.gov, and open the overlay hub for recipients rather than inventing agencies, fiscal years, or unit counts the packet does not list.
A second check on language: do not call $1,790,446,029 an appropriation, a budget request, or cash disbursed. It is the recorded contract-obligation stock for BOAT BUILDING (NAICS 336612) in the indexed USAspending.gov extract. Do not call 1,747 a count of establishments. It is an award-record count. Those two constraints are the whole method of this guide.
Place-of-performance, set-aside, and recipient fields, when needed, live on the BOAT BUILDING industry page rather than in this packet. This guide repeats only NAICS 336612, $1,790,446,029, and 1,747 awards so that a searcher can land on the correct hub without treating the overlay prose as a substitute for the award table. If a later modification recodes work off 336612, new actions leave this total; historical rows remain until the warehouse restates them.
