NAICS 311611 and California as a slaughtering join
This page intersects one six-digit industry and one state. $283,174,421.12 is the obligation sum where both filters are true. NAICS 311611 is animal (except poultry) slaughtering, not poultry processing and not meat processed from carcasses. It is not a statewide spending total and not a national NAICS 311611 total. Those parent tables live on California federal spending and NAICS 311611.
448 awards against $283.2 million is a mid-thickness food-manufacturing book rather than a flood of tiny delivery orders. 448 is an award-record count. Modifications can sit beside base awards. The packet does not say how many unique vendors produced the 448 lines. Reading 448 as factories, ships, or clinics in California would confuse actions with establishments.
California industries lists other NAICS codes with CA place of performance. All spending ties indexes other state–industry pairs. Do not sum those indexes into $283,174,421.12. The headline remains $283,174,421.12 on 448 awards for this pair alone.
Except-poultry slaughtering, not poultry processing
NAICS 311611 is a Census industry code assigned on the award. NAICS 311611 is animal (except poultry) slaughtering, not poultry processing and not meat processed from carcasses. Poultry processing (311615) and meat processed from carcasses (311612) are different industry pages. Those neighboring codes never enter $283,174,421.12 unless they also appear as 311611, which they do not. Keep the six-digit label when you cite the California cell.
Slaughter and further-processing codes are easy to blend in speech. This table keeps 311611 only. Dividing $283,174,421.12 by 448 produces about $632,086. That quotient is arithmetic, not a typical California 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.
California geography on a 311611 cell
California place of performance can cover the Central Valley, Southern California, or a reporting address. The packet has no county split. Inside the CA tag, Fresno, Los Angeles, or a named plant are not broken out. The packet has one state key. A named city can sit inside $283,174,421.12 only if its awards carry NAICS 311611 and CA — which this narrative cannot verify.
Place-of-performance geography is not the same as contractor headquarters. A firm based elsewhere can perform in California, and a California address can appear on work done out of state. This join reports the coded pair, not a logistics map. California federal spending remains the statewide parent.
Obligations versus outlays for California 311611
USAspending obligations are commitments, not checks that have cleared. $283,174,421.12 can include amounts that will be paid later, cancelled, or modified. The packet does not publish outlays. 448 is not a payment count. Quote NAICS 311611 in California as obligations and leave fiscal-year folklore off the citation — years are unpublished here.
What the slaughtering–California pair does not prove
The animal slaughtering–California pair does not prove that California specialized in this industry because of federal demand, or the reverse. Slaughter and further-processing codes are easy to blend in speech. This table keeps 311611 only. Campaign-finance tables are a different dataset; donations do not fund these awards. Keep both sides of the join in any headline: NAICS 311611 and California.

Place of performance remains a geography tag, not proof that work stayed inside the named state.
