All Other Miscellaneous Food Manufacturing in Arkansas (NAICS 311999)

NAICS 311999 and Arkansas as a residual-food join

This page intersects one six-digit industry and one state. $15,053,459.60 is the obligation sum where both filters are true. NAICS 311999 is all other miscellaneous food manufacturing, not dog and cat food manufacturing and not fruit and vegetable canning. It is not a statewide spending total and not a national NAICS 311999 total. Those parent tables live on Arkansas federal spending and NAICS 311999.

1,041 awards against $15.1 million is a high-count residual food book, not a handful of mega-plant contracts. 1,041 is an award-record count. Modifications can sit beside base awards. The packet does not say how many unique vendors produced the 1,041 lines. Reading 1,041 as food plants in Arkansas would confuse actions with establishments. A four-digit award count often means delivery orders and modifications stacked on a smaller set of vehicles; unique plants are unpublished.

Arkansas industries lists other NAICS codes with AR place of performance. All spending ties indexes other state–industry pairs. Do not sum those indexes into $15,053,459.60. The headline remains $15,053,459.60 on 1,041 awards for this pair alone. Arkansas federal spending is larger because it includes other NAICS. NAICS 311999 is larger because it includes other states. This tie is the intersection.

Miscellaneous food, not canning or pet food

NAICS 311999 is a Census industry code assigned on the award. NAICS 311999 is all other miscellaneous food manufacturing, not dog and cat food manufacturing (311111) and not fruit and vegetable canning (311421). Those neighboring codes never enter $15,053,459.60 unless they also appear as 311999, which they do not. Keep the six-digit label when you cite the Arkansas cell. Residual or neighboring codes are easy to merge in speech and wrong to merge in this table.

Dividing $15,053,459.60 by 1,041 produces about $14,460.58. That quotient is arithmetic, not a typical Arkansas contract. There is no median, no top-award table, and no fiscal-year breakout on this packet. Do not treat the mean as a posted unit price. A high mean can be one vehicle; a low mean can be many delivery orders. This extract cannot tell those stories apart. Unique recipients are unpublished.

Arkansas geography on a 311999 cell

Arkansas place of performance can cover Little Rock, Fayetteville, a processing campus, or a reporting address. The packet has no county split. Inside the AR tag, Little Rock, Fayetteville, or a named food manufacturing site are not broken out. The packet has one state key. Splitting $15,053,459.60 across those names would be invention. A named city can sit inside $15,053,459.60 only if its awards carry NAICS 311999 and AR — which this narrative cannot verify.

USAspending place of performance is a reporting field. It can diverge from headquarters, from where parts were made, or from where staff sat. This page repeats the coded Arkansas tag. It does not audit the field. Arkansas federal spending uses the same geography convention across industries. Place-of-performance geography is not the same as contractor headquarters.

Obligations versus outlays for Arkansas 311999

USAspending obligations are commitments, not checks that have cleared. $15,053,459.60 can include amounts that will be paid later, cancelled, or modified. The packet does not publish outlays. 1,041 is not a payment count. Quote NAICS 311999 in Arkansas as obligations and leave fiscal-year folklore off the citation — years are unpublished here. Do not call $15,053,459.60 “spent in Arkansas this year.”

What the residual-food–Arkansas pair does not prove

The residual-food–Arkansas pair does not prove that Arkansas specialized in this industry because of federal demand, or the reverse. Correlation is not causation. Federal awards in one NAICS do not explain Arkansas employment, and itemized campaign gifts do not pay USAspending obligations. Different statutes, different tables. This page names no contractors. Cite NAICS 311999 and Arkansas together so the join stays visible. Arkansas industries and All spending ties are the related indexes.

The live hubs linked from this page can refresh the snapshot; this narrative does not invent a fiscal year, a recipient list, or an outlay total that the packet omitted. Place of performance remains a geography tag, not proof that work stayed inside the named state.
