The ammunition (except small arms) manufacturing × Arkansas intersection
Ammunition (Except Small Arms) Manufacturing (NAICS 332993) and Arkansas (AR) share one cell because awards carry both tags. $21,833,916.52 is that intersection. NAICS 332993 is ammunition except small arms, a munitions-manufacturing code that excludes the small-arms/ordnance accessories key. It is not a named munitions prime. /states/ar/ is the state parent. /industries/332993/ is the industry parent. Use both names when quoting the cell.
16 is an award-action count, not 16 Arkansas ammunition plants. Task orders and modifications can add rows without adding vendors. The join does not rank Arkansas as a winner or loser.
All Arkansas industries at /states/ar/industries/ lists other codes in the same geography. All spending ties at /ties/ lists other pairs. Adding either parent into this join would double-count.
Industry side: NAICS 332993
USAspending labels NAICS 332993 as Ammunition (Except Small Arms) Manufacturing. That title is a catalog label. It is not a proof of outcomes described in ordinary speech. The industry is not small arms and ordnance accessories (332994) and not surgical appliances. Packet facts on this side are the name, the number, $21,833,916.52, and 16 awards. No contractor names appear.
Mississippi's small-arms/ordnance overlay on this extract is 332994, not this 332993 Arkansas cell. Mixing this cell with small-arms manufacturing, surgical appliances, or scientific consulting leaves the packet. Award titles on /industries/332993/ show what a given line bought; this overlay does not reprint them.
State side: Arkansas place of performance
Place of performance AR is not a Little Rock, Fort Smith, or Pine Bluff filter. Ordinary maps mention Little Rock, Fort Smith, or Pine Bluff; the extract does not. Awards can list Arkansas while later work occurs elsewhere. The packet does not split counties or congressional districts.
The state hub at /states/ar/ still includes every other NAICS in Arkansas; quoting $21,833,916.52 as all of Arkansas federal spending would be wrong.
16 is not 16 Arkansas ammunition plants
16 is the award-record count for ammunition (except small arms) manufacturing in Arkansas. About $1,364,620 is $21,833,916.52 ÷ 16, a quotient of packet facts, not a typical invoice. Unique recipients are unpublished. 16 is not 16 Arkansas ammunition plants.
An obligation is a legal commitment. $21,833,916.52 is that kind of sum. Outlays are unpublished. Keep the obligation word on every citation of this cell.
Keep FEC tables off this USAspending cell
Lobbying and contribution files do not pay ammunition (except small arms) manufacturing awards. A later ingest can restate $21,833,916.52 without renaming NAICS 332993 or AR. Confusing this join with small-arms manufacturing, surgical appliances, or scientific consulting would be a different overlay. Correlation is not causation.
