Ammunition (Except Small Arms) Manufacturing federal obligations in Iowa

What NAICS 332993 and Iowa share on one row

NAICS 332993 and place-of-performance state IA meet here. $451,819,373.30 is the obligation sum on awards that carry both tags. It is not every federal award in Iowa, not the nationwide Ammunition (Except Small Arms) Manufacturing total, and not cash already paid. Iowa large-caliber ammo folklore and statewide ammunition (except small arms) manufacturing stories may send a reader here. Those stories are not a plant list and not a ammunition actions census. NAICS 332993 is ammunition (except small arms) manufacturing, not small-arms ammunition (332992) and not small-arms manufacturing (332994).

40 award actions sit behind that dollar figure — a short list beside $451,819,373.30. A shorter row list can still hold a large dollar total if a few awards dominate. The join does not rank Iowa against other states and does not name vendors, facilities, or ammunition actions inside the extract. Unique recipients are unpublished on this page.

Open Iowa federal spending for the statewide table, NAICS 332993 for the industry hub without a Iowa filter, Iowa industries for other Iowa industry cells, and All spending ties for other pairs. Do not add those parent pages into $451,819,373.30.

A short large-caliber ammo list under an Iowa tag

Dividing $451,819,373.30 by 40 yields about $11,295,484 per award on average. That average hides contracts, grants, and other instruments. It is not a typical large-caliber lot. A second 332993 slice on another state uses the same NAICS code and a different dollar total. Do not treat Iowa's 332993 total as a synonym for every federal ammunition except small arms purchase. Iowa large-caliber ammo folklore is a coding conversation, not a packet field.

Recipient rows live on the industry and state hubs, not in this narrative's extra columns. 40 is an award-record count, including modifications, not a count of ammunition actions and not a unique-firm census. Keep 332993 and IA as the join key even when a later USAspending ingest restates $451,819,373.30.

NAICS 332993 without a Iowa overlay is a different total

The NAICS 332993 page aggregates NAICS 332993 without requiring IA geography. The Iowa federal spending page aggregates all agencies and industries with Iowa place of performance. Iowa industries lists other industry cells in the same state. Only this tie applies both the 332993 filter and the IA filter, which is why it cites 40 awards and $451,819,373.30.

Place of performance in Iowa is a USAspending geography field. Awards can list IA while work occurs in Illinois or Missouri. 332993 awards coded to those states do not sit in this total even if a vendor's mailroom is in Des Moines. This packet does not split Des Moines, Burlington, or Cedar Rapids. Place of performance is a tag, not proof that every ammunition action stayed inside Iowa.

Obligations, not outlays

An obligation is a legal commitment. An outlay is a payment. $451,819,373.30 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 Iowa over-reads the field. Award count 40 is a record count, not a payment count.

Readers who need transaction-level detail should use Iowa federal spending, NAICS 332993, and Iowa industries. All spending ties does not hide a blended statewide total under this slug. Keep the obligation label on $451,819,373.30 in every reuse.

What this Iowa–332993 pair does not prove

A ammunition (except small arms) manufacturing total in Iowa does not mean the industry caused Iowa's industrial mix, and it does not connect these obligations to campaign contributions. Correlation between plant geography and ammunition except small arms awards is expected; it is not a finding about readiness, waste, or local employment. FEC individual contributions are a different dataset.

Keep $451,819,373.30 labeled as NAICS 332993 obligations with Iowa place of performance. An industry name that appears near a donor occupation is a coincidence of labeling, not a cash pipeline into USAspending. Iowa federal spending still includes other NAICS codes that must not be folded into this cell.

How to cite the Iowa–332993 pair

A later ingest can restate $451,819,373.30 without changing the join of 332993 and IA. Rewrite only the sentence whose source moved. Des Moines-versus-Burlington folklore is not a metro split in this packet. Do not treat 40 as a unique-firm census. Unique recipients are not published here. Keep NAICS 332993 and IA as the join key.
