Cheese Manufacturing in Wisconsin (NAICS 311513)
USAspending.gov records $48,067,631.74 in NAICS 311513 (Cheese Manufacturing) obligations with Wisconsin place of performance, across 225 awards. The pair is NAICS 311513 plus Wisconsin geography, not Wisconsin ship repair, communications equipment, small arms, or building finishing. 225 awards against that dollar total imply about $213,634 per award, a cheese-manufacturing book rather than Washington's residual-food catalog. Original filings remain on USAspending.gov.

Wisconsin and cheese manufacturing as a pair
NAICS 311513 and place-of-performance state WI meet on this tie. $48,067,631.74 is the obligation sum on awards that carry both tags. It is not Wisconsin's statewide federal total, not the nationwide cheese manufacturing rollup, and not cash already paid. USAspending labels the industry Cheese Manufacturing; this overlay applies that code only where Wisconsin is the geography field.
225 is an award-action count. Modifications, delivery orders, and repeat vehicles add rows. Unique vendors are not published in this packet. Reading 225 as plants, offices, or payrolls in Wisconsin would confuse actions with establishments. The join does not rank Wisconsin against other states and does not assign a fiscal year; none is in the facts.
Open Wisconsin federal spending for the state rollup, NAICS 311513 for the industry hub, Wisconsin industries for other NAICS in the same geography, and All spending ties for other pairs. Do not add those parent pages into $48,067,631.74.
NAICS 311513, not Washington food residuals
USAspending labels NAICS 311513 as Cheese Manufacturing. The packet does not name plants, brands, or primes. Washington all other miscellaneous food manufacturing (NAICS 311999) on this slice is $51,539,969.84 across 3,608 awards, and perishable prepared food (311991) is $61,356,698.98 across 62,698 awards. Those food codes are not cheese manufacturing and not Wisconsin.
Wisconsin ship building (336611), communications equipment (334290), small arms (332994), and building finishing (238390) share WI geography and never enter $48,067,631.74. Award titles on the NAICS 311513 hub are the place to see what a given line bought.
Place of performance in Wisconsin
Wisconsin on this join is a geography field, not a dairy-county overlay. Place of performance can list WI while later work occurs in Minnesota or Illinois; those states are not inside this total unless also coded WI. The packet does not split counties.
Cheese folklore is ordinary speech, not extra packet dollars. The state hub for Wisconsin shows how 311513 sits beside other industries with WI place of performance.
225 awards and a mid-six-figure mean
Dividing $48,067,631.74 by 225 yields about $213,634 per award on average. That mean is still only a ratio of two packet facts, not a typical dairy invoice. Award count 225 is a record count, not a payment count.
An obligation is a legal commitment. $48,067,631.74 is that kind of sum. This packet has no outlay total and no fiscal-year split. Citing the figure as cash already spent in Wisconsin over-reads the field.
What the cheese-Wisconsin join does not prove
A cheese-manufacturing cell is not a ranking of dairy states and not a claim that campaign contributions funded the awards. FEC filings and USAspending awards are different datasets. Keep $48,067,631.74 labeled as NAICS 311513 obligations with Wisconsin place of performance. Correlation is not causation.
A later ingest can restate $48,067,631.74 or the 225 count without changing the join key of NAICS 311513 and WI. Place of performance remains a geography tag, not proof that work stayed inside Wisconsin. Keep the obligation word on $48,067,631.74 in every footnote.
How to cite cheese manufacturing in Wisconsin
Cite USAspending.gov, NAICS 311513 (Cheese Manufacturing), Wisconsin (WI), $48,067,631.74, and 225 awards. Note that the figures are obligations. Point readers to Wisconsin federal spending, NAICS 311513, Wisconsin industries, and All spending ties rather than collapsing those pages into this cell. Mean per award stays about $213,634 as a ratio only.
Readers who reuse this snapshot should keep both sides of the join in the same sentence and treat award rows as records rather than unique vendors. This narrative does not invent a fiscal year, a recipient list, or an outlay total that the packet omitted. Wisconsin's 311513 cell is cheese manufacturing. 225 awards and $48,067,631.74 are not other NAICS in the same state and not the same NAICS in another state unless those figures appear above.
