Federal obligations in military armored vehicle, tank, and tank component manufacturing (NAICS 336992)

Tanks and armored vehicles as a manufacturing NAICS

NAICS 336992 covers establishments that manufacture military armored vehicles, tanks, and tank components. On USAspending.gov the code tags contract awards classified that way: hulls, turrets, and related production. It is not a count of vehicles in a brigade, and it is not every tactical truck the government buys. Unarmored motor-vehicle manufacturing, if tagged to other 3369 or 3361 codes, sits elsewhere.

Aircraft manufacturing is 336411. Ship building is 336611. Guided missiles are 336414. Ammunition except small arms is 332993. A ground-combat program can buy the vehicle under 336992 and the ammunition under 332993. The $46.0 billion figure is only the armored-vehicle manufacturing slice.

Reading $46.0 billion in vehicle obligations

USAspending records obligations on contract awards tagged 336992. Production lots, reset programs, and component buys all feed $46,010,433,941.72. This packet has no fiscal-year split and no outlay total. Multi-year vehicle contracts can show large obligations while deliveries continue.

Outlays are the payments. Quote $46.0 billion as USAspending contract obligations coded to NAICS 336992, not as an Army procurement budget and not as cash already spent.

4,781 awards, not 4,781 tanks

The 4,781 award records include production lots, spare components, and modifications. The count is not a fleet inventory. Compared with aircraft-parts manufacturing, armored-vehicle production shows fewer records and a more concentrated manufacturing pattern. Open the industry page for the award list.

Ground-vehicle headlines in the press often mix hulls, ammunition, and radios. NAICS 336992 does not. The $46,010,433,941.72 obligation total is military armored vehicle, tank, and tank component manufacturing as tagged on 4,781 USAspending contract awards. Components in the title mean tank components, not every spare on a motor pool. Unarmored trucks tagged to other vehicle codes stay off this page. Ammunition stays on 332993. Missiles stay on 336414. Aircraft stay on 336411. The 4,781 award records include production lots and modifications; they do not enumerate vehicles issued to units. Outlays can lag for years on a vehicle line. This packet has no fiscal-year split. Cite the code, the dollars, the award count, and USAspending.gov, then use the industry table for names.

What 336992 excludes

Assistance awards often lack NAICS and are outside this total. Large-caliber ammunition is 332993. Search and navigation instruments that go on a vehicle may be 334511. Facilities support at a depot is 561210. Those dollars stay on their own industry pages unless the award was tagged 336992.

SpendingVault aggregates USAspending.gov contract data. The $46,010,433,941.72 total and the 4,781 award count can change after corrections. The live industry page is the table of record.

Using the armored-vehicle industry page

Open the MILITARY ARMORED VEHICLE, TANK, AND TANK COMPONENT MANUFACTURING industry page for the award list under the headline. Compare 336992 with other manufacturing codes on All industries. Cite obligations, not outlays, and keep the 4,781 award count with the dollar figure.

Citing tank-plant dollars without a fleet count

Cite $46,010,433,941.72 in USAspending obligations on 4,781 awards tagged NAICS 336992, military armored vehicle, tank, and tank component manufacturing. Keep ground vehicles in the phrase. Aircraft, ships, missiles, and ammunition are other manufacturing lines.

The 4,781 award count is lots, components, and modifications, not tanks on a ramp. Outlays can lag on multi-year vehicle contracts. This packet has no agency split. If a reset program was tagged as services rather than manufacturing, those dollars will not appear in the $46.0 billion total.

Ground combat vehicles have a dedicated manufacturing code so they are not mixed with aircraft, ships, or commercial trucks. The $46,010,433,941.72 total is awards tagged 336992. The 4,781 records include hulls, turrets, and tank components as classified. Reset and upgrade work stays here only if the award kept the manufacturing tag.

Ammunition is 332993. That border matters: a brigade set is not one NAICS line. Missiles are 336414. Trucks that are not military armored vehicles belong on other motor-vehicle codes when tagged that way. Cite USAspending obligations on 4,781 awards coded 336992. Do not convert the count into tanks issued. Outlays are not in the packet.
