Bolt, Nut, Screw, Rivet, And Washer Manufacturing federal obligations in Massachusetts (NAICS 332722)

Reading the fastener manufacturing–MA pair

NAICS 332722 and place-of-performance state MA meet here. $227,105,003.46 is the obligation sum on awards that carry both tags. It is not nationwide Bolt, Nut, Screw, Rivet, And Washer Manufacturing, not Massachusetts's entire federal inflow, and not cash already paid. Massachusetts 332722 is fastener manufacturing with an extremely thick action file, not a unique-vendor census and not a bolt-count. 332722 is Bolt, Nut, Screw, Rivet, And Washer Manufacturing, not machine shops or other fabricated-metal codes. Aerospace-fastener and catalog-hardware folklore and Boston campus and defense-corridor folklore may send a reader here. Those stories are not extra packet dollars and not a census of fasteners or plants.

162,323 award actions sit behind that dollar figure — an extreme catalog-style award list in which catalog lines and modifications can dominate the row count. An unusually long row list usually mixes many small actions with a thinner set of large instruments. The join does not rank Massachusetts against other states and does not name fastener manufacturers inside the extract. Unique vendors are unpublished.

Open Massachusetts federal spending for the statewide rollup, NAICS 332722 for the industry hub, Massachusetts industries for other NAICS in the same geography, and All spending ties for other pairs. Quote those hubs as parents, not as addends to $227,105,003.46.

$227,105,003.46 across 162,323 actions

Dividing $227,105,003.46 by 162,323 yields about $1,399.09 per award on average. That average hides contracts, grants, and other instruments. It is not a typical bolt, nut, or rivet award. A second fastener manufacturing join in another state uses the same NAICS and a different dollar total. Do not treat Massachusetts's 332722 figure as a synonym for every Bolt, Nut, Screw, Rivet, And Washer Manufacturing award in the catalog.

Aerospace-fastener and catalog-hardware folklore is a coding conversation, not a packet field. Industry titles on NAICS 332722 are the place to see what a given line bought. Boston campus and defense-corridor folklore may explain a search path. It does not add dollars or fastener manufacturers.

Statewide Massachusetts, not Boston from Worcester or Springfield

The industry hub for NAICS 332722 aggregates Bolt, Nut, Screw, Rivet, And Washer Manufacturing without requiring MA geography. Massachusetts federal spending aggregates all industries with Massachusetts place of performance. Massachusetts industries lists other NAICS in Massachusetts. Only this tie applies both the 332722 filter and the Massachusetts geography tag, which is why it cites 162,323 awards and $227,105,003.46.

Place of performance in Massachusetts is a USAspending geography field. Awards can list MA while later hardware production occurs in New Hampshire or Connecticut. fastener manufacturing awards coded to those places do not sit in this total even if a vendor's mailroom is in Boston. This packet does not split Boston from Worcester or Springfield. Boston, Worcester, and Springfield are reader landmarks, not packet subtotals.

Source note on obligations

An obligation is a legal commitment. An outlay is a payment. $227,105,003.46 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 Massachusetts over-reads the field. USAspending.gov NAICS aggregates by place of performance state are the source.

Award count 162,323 is a record count, not a payment count and not a unique-contractor census. Catalog lines, delivery orders, and modifications can each mint a row. Readers who need transaction-level detail should use Massachusetts industries and NAICS 332722. Keep the obligation word on $227,105,003.46.

aerospace-fastener and catalog-hardware folklore is not a finding

A large fastener manufacturing total in Massachusetts does not mean the industry caused Massachusetts's fiscal mix, and it does not connect these obligations to campaign contributions. Correlation between Boston campus and defense-corridor folklore and 332722 awards is expected; it is not a finding about waste or plant quality. No performance metric is in the packet. Massachusetts 332722 is fastener manufacturing with an extremely thick action file, not a unique-vendor census and not a bolt-count.

Keep $227,105,003.46 labeled as NAICS 332722 obligations with Massachusetts place of performance. FEC individual contributions are a different dataset. Do not claim that donations paid for $227,105,003.46 in Massachusetts. No contractor or award-recipient names are in the packet, and none are invented.

Internal links that keep the same unit

A clean footnote names NAICS 332722 (Bolt, Nut, Screw, Rivet, And Washer Manufacturing), Massachusetts place of performance, $227,105,003.46 in obligations, and 162,323 awards on USAspending.gov. Keep the obligation word. Do not call $227,105,003.46 cash outlays. Mean dollars per action remain about $1,399.09 if you divide those two facts — a ratio, not a typical bolt, nut, or rivet award.

Massachusetts federal spending, NAICS 332722, Massachusetts industries, and All spending ties keep the same unit. A later ingest can restate $227,105,003.46 without changing the join definition. Rewrite only the sentence whose source moved. Boston-versus-Worcester folklore is not a metro split in this packet. Fastener manufacturers names belong on the overlay if they appear as recipients; they are not extra packet dollars. Correlation is not causation.
