Aircraft Manufacturing federal obligations in Alabama (NAICS 336411)

How Alabama and Aircraft Manufacturing share one cell

NAICS 336411 and place-of-performance state AL meet here. $133,926,866.94 is the obligation sum on awards that carry both tags. It is not nationwide Aircraft Manufacturing, not Alabama's entire federal inflow, and not cash already paid. Alabama 336411 is airframe manufacturing, not Huntsville missile folklore and not a Mobile delivery calendar. 336411 is Aircraft Manufacturing, not aircraft parts (336413) or engines (336412). Airframe-assembly and delivery-lot folklore and Gulf-port and Huntsville-lab folklore may send a reader here. Those stories are not extra packet dollars and not a census of aircraft or plants.

282 award actions sit behind that dollar figure — a mid-size award list beside a large obligation total. A mid-size row list can mix large instruments with smaller service awards. The join does not rank Alabama against other states and does not name airframe manufacturers inside the extract. Unique vendors are unpublished.

Open Alabama federal spending for the statewide rollup, NAICS 336411 for the industry hub, Alabama industries for other NAICS in the same geography, and All spending ties for other pairs. Quote those hubs as parents, not as addends to $133,926,866.94.

Reading 282 awards against $133,926,866.94

Dividing $133,926,866.94 by 282 yields about $474,917.97 per award on average. That average hides contracts, grants, and other instruments. It is not a typical airframe or production-lot award. A second aircraft manufacturing join in another state uses the same NAICS and a different dollar total. Do not treat Alabama's 336411 figure as a synonym for every Aircraft Manufacturing award in the catalog.

Airframe-assembly and delivery-lot folklore is a coding conversation, not a packet field. Industry titles on NAICS 336411 are the place to see what a given line bought. Gulf-port and huntsville-lab folklore may explain a search path. It does not add dollars or airframe manufacturers.

Alabama geography is not the nationwide aircraft manufacturing book

The industry hub for NAICS 336411 aggregates Aircraft Manufacturing without requiring AL geography. Alabama federal spending aggregates all industries with Alabama place of performance. Alabama industries lists other NAICS in Alabama. Only this tie applies both the 336411 filter and the Alabama geography tag, which is why it cites 282 awards and $133,926,866.94.

Place of performance in Alabama is a USAspending geography field. Awards can list AL while later airframe work occurs in Mississippi or Tennessee. aircraft manufacturing awards coded to those places do not sit in this total even if a vendor's mailroom is in Birmingham. This packet does not split Birmingham from Mobile or Huntsville. Birmingham, Mobile, and Huntsville are reader landmarks, not packet subtotals.

Commitment versus payment

An obligation is a legal commitment. An outlay is a payment. $133,926,866.94 is the former. This packet has no outlay total, no fiscal-year split, and no de-obligation history. Citing the figure as money already spent in Alabama over-reads the field. USAspending.gov NAICS aggregates by place of performance state are the source.

Award count 282 is a record count, not a payment count and not a unique-contractor census. Catalog lines, delivery orders, and modifications can each mint a row. Readers who need transaction-level detail should use Alabama industries and NAICS 336411. Keep the obligation word on $133,926,866.94.

Correlation is not causation

A large aircraft manufacturing total in Alabama does not mean the industry caused Alabama's fiscal mix, and it does not connect these obligations to campaign contributions. Correlation between Gulf-port and Huntsville-lab folklore and 336411 awards is expected; it is not a finding about waste or plant quality. No performance metric is in the packet. Alabama 336411 is airframe manufacturing, not Huntsville missile folklore and not a Mobile delivery calendar.

Keep $133,926,866.94 labeled as NAICS 336411 obligations with Alabama place of performance. FEC individual contributions are a different dataset. Do not claim that donations paid for $133,926,866.94 in Alabama. No contractor or award-recipient names are in the packet, and none are invented.

A clean footnote for NAICS 336411 in Alabama

Rewrite only the sentence whose source moved. Birmingham-versus-Mobile folklore is not a metro split in this packet. Airframe manufacturers names belong on the overlay if they appear as recipients; they are not extra packet dollars. Correlation is not causation.
