Ammunition (Except Small Arms) Manufacturing federal obligations in Virginia
Ammunition (Except Small Arms) Manufacturing (NAICS 332993) shows $437,674,904.99 in USAspending.gov obligations with Virginia as place of performance. One hundred thirty-three awards sit behind that total. The join is a Census manufacturing code crossed with a state location field, not Virginia's entire munitions economy and not a count of rounds. The dollars are commitments, not Treasury outlays.

Virginia x 332993 is an industry join, not a round census
This page pairs NAICS 332993, AMMUNITION (EXCEPT SMALL ARMS) MANUFACTURING, with Virginia place of performance. The code covers manufacturing of ammunition other than small arms ammunition, not small-arms cartridges and not complete weapons. SpendingVault sums tagged obligations: $437,674,904.99 on 133 awards. The extract does not list plants, calibers, or contractors. Treat the pair as a catalog intersection, not a ranking of which state makes more munitions, and not a claim that 133 awards equal 133 factories.
Small-arms ammunition and weapons manufacturing sit in other NAICS listings and are outside $437,674,904.99 unless an award also carries 332993. Mixing those codes would invent a combined munitions figure the packet never computed. Correlation between this obligation sum and inventory levels is not causation. Round counts are not in the packet. Place of performance as Virginia locates the tagged awards; it does not deposit $437,674,904.99 in a state arsenal.
133 awards behind $437.7 million
Award count is a row count of tagged awards, including possible modifications and delivery orders. It is not a census of plants, lots, or rounds. Mean obligation is about $3,290,790 if $437,674,904.99 were divided evenly across 133 lines — a mechanical ratio, not a typical munitions contract, and not a published unit price. The packet has no caliber split inside 332993.
One hundred thirty-three lines are scannable on an overlay but still too many to narrate one by one. Sort the Virginia 332993 overlay by amount to see concentration. This page will not invent contractor names. Open NAICS 332993 for the national listing and Virginia industries for other codes in the state. Do not convert 133 into a map of Virginia plants. The $437,674,904.99 total remains an obligation rollup on tagged awards.
What NAICS 332993 covers in this extract
The listing title excludes small-arms ammunition by definition. This extract does not split artillery from bombs, nor does it split production from demilitarization. Those cuts would require award documentation beyond dollars, 133 awards, NAICS 332993, and Virginia. This page will not invent a product-line share.
Obligations are recorded commitments. Outlays are payments from the Treasury. The $437,674,904.99 headline is the obligation sum, not rounds already delivered and not a fiscal-year outlay total. No fiscal year is attached. A munitions contract notice dated to a particular year is not automatically this join unless it uses NAICS 332993, Virginia geography, and the obligation metric.
What the Virginia ammunition table omits
The extract has no round count, no plant list, and no caliber table. Facts remain $437,674,904.99, 133 awards, NAICS 332993, and Virginia. This page will not invent a ranking against other states' 332993 joins. Defense buyers can sit in the file; the extract does not label them.
Virginia federal spending and Virginia industries place 332993 among other codes. NAICS 332993 is the national catalog line. All spending ties indexes other industry-by-state pairs. Mixing those shelves would invent a share of Virginia manufacturing the packet never computed. The $437,674,904.99 figure is the tagged pair only.
Where the 332993 x Virginia overlay lives
Start with Virginia federal spending for statewide context and NAICS 332993 for the nationwide industry listing. Virginia industries lists other codes with Virginia place of performance. All spending ties is the shelf for other NAICS x state pairs on the same obligation metric. One hundred thirty-three awards are tagged rows, not a factory census. Plant names and round counts are not in this packet.
Readers who need a different industry or a different state should leave this URL rather than adding numbers by hand. The $437,674,904.99 figure is the tagged NAICS 332993 × Virginia pair only. USAspending.gov remains the source; SpendingVault republishes the join. Place of performance is a geography tag on awards, not proof that every dollar stayed inside Virginia after obligation. If a later extract revises the rollup, this page's facts will be stale until the packet is rebuilt. Do not annualize $437,674,904.99 into a per-year run rate: no fiscal year is in the facts.
How to read the Virginia × NAICS 332993 pair
A ties page exists because two tables meet. One table is the industry code (NAICS 332993). The other is place of performance as Virginia. The headline $437,674,904.99 is the obligation sum on that intersection. It is not a forecast, not a budget request, and not an outlay. It is also not a claim that NAICS 332993 caused Virginia's economy to grow, or that Virginia caused NAICS 332993 awards to exist. Correlation between geography and a catalog code is the join — nothing more.
Use the internal links to step off this pair: the statewide spending shelf, the national industry listing, the state's other industrys, and the ties index. Each of those pages uses the same obligation metric unless a page says otherwise. If you need award-level names, open the overlay or the stored table rather than treating this narrative as a recipient directory. If you need a different metric — outlays, current-year only, or a different geography — that metric is not in this packet.

- Is this Virginia's entire federal munitions spending?
- No. The join is NAICS 332993, Ammunition (Except Small Arms) Manufacturing, crossed with Virginia place of performance. Small-arms ammunition and weapons manufacturing use different listings. Those dollars are not inside $437,674,904.99 unless the award also carries 332993.
