Aircraft Manufacturing federal obligations in Pennsylvania

USAspending.gov records $297,208,552.54 in Aircraft Manufacturing (NAICS 336411) obligations with Pennsylvania place of performance, across 438 awards. That pair is an industry code crossed with a geography filter, not a national aircraft budget. Average obligation per award is about $678,558.34 — a ratio of two packet facts, not a typical airframe contract.

Key figures

  • NAICS 336411 in Pennsylvania: $297,208,552.54 across 438 awards.
  • Average obligation per award is about $678,558.34.
  • The total is obligations, not outlays, and not nationwide Aircraft manufacturing.
  • PA is place of performance, not a plant-only split.

What NAICS 336411 and Pennsylvania share on one row

NAICS 336411 and place-of-performance state PA meet here. $297,208,552.54 is the obligation sum on awards that carry both tags. It is not every federal award in Pennsylvania, not the nationwide Aircraft Manufacturing total, and not cash already paid. Philadelphia-area airframe folklore and statewide assembly stories may send a reader here. Those stories are not a plant list and not a fleet census.

438 award actions sit behind that dollar figure — hundreds of award actions behind a nine-figure obligation total. Hundreds of rows can mix modifications with larger instruments. The join does not rank Pennsylvania against other states and does not name airframes inside the extract.

Open Pennsylvania federal spending for the filtered table, NAICS 336411 for the next hub, Pennsylvania industries for the remaining hub, and All spending ties for other pairs.

438 aircraft-manufacturing actions under a Pennsylvania geography tag

Dividing $297,208,552.54 by 438 yields about $678,558.34 per award on average. That average hides contracts, grants, and other instruments. It is not a typical airframe contract. NAICS 336411 is complete aircraft, not missiles (336414) and not aircraft parts (336413). Those codes sit on other industry hubs. Do not collapse them because all three can appear in the same state.

Philadelphia-area airframe folklore and statewide assembly stories is a coding conversation, not a packet field. Recipient rows live on the industry and state hubs, not in this narrative's extra columns.

NAICS 336411 without a Pennsylvania overlay is a different total

The NAICS 336411 page aggregates NAICS 336411 without requiring PA geography. The Pennsylvania federal spending page aggregates all agencies and industries with Pennsylvania place of performance. Pennsylvania industries lists other industry cells in the same state. Only this tie applies both the 336411 filter and the PA filter, which is why it cites 438 awards and $297,208,552.54.

Place of performance in Pennsylvania is a USAspending geography field. Awards can list PA while work occurs in New Jersey or Maryland. 336411 awards coded to those states do not sit in this total even if a plant's mailroom is in Philadelphia. This packet does not split Philadelphia from Pittsburgh or Harrisburg.

Obligations, not outlays

An obligation is a legal commitment. An outlay is a payment. $297,208,552.54 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 Pennsylvania over-reads the field.

Award count 438 is a record count, not a payment count. Readers who need transaction-level detail should use Pennsylvania federal spending, NAICS 336411, and Pennsylvania industries. All spending ties does not hide a blended statewide total under this slug.

What this pair does not prove

A large 336411 total in Pennsylvania does not mean manufacturers caused Pennsylvania's industrial mix, and it does not connect these obligations to campaign contributions. Correlation between plant geography and aircraft awards is expected; it is not a finding about readiness or waste.

Keep $297,208,552.54 labeled as NAICS 336411 obligations with Pennsylvania place of performance. FEC individual contributions are a different dataset. An industry name that appears near a donor occupation is a coincidence of labeling, not a cash pipeline into USAspending.

How to cite the Pennsylvania-336411 pair

A clean footnote names NAICS 336411 (Aircraft Manufacturing), Pennsylvania place of performance, $297,208,552.54 in obligations, and 438 awards on USAspending.gov. Keep the obligation word. Do not call $297,208,552.54 cash outlays. Mean dollars per action remain about $678,558.34 if you divide those two facts — a ratio, not a typical airframe contract.

Pennsylvania federal spending, NAICS 336411, Pennsylvania industries, and All spending ties keep the same unit. A later ingest can restate $297,208,552.54 without changing the join definition. Rewrite only the sentence whose source moved. Philadelphia-versus-Pittsburgh folklore is not a metro split in this packet. Plant names belong on the overlay if they appear as recipients; they are not extra packet dollars. Keep the obligation label in every reuse. Correlation is not causation.
