Commercial Bakeries in Virginia (NAICS 311812)

NAICS 311812 and Virginia as a bakery join

This page intersects one six-digit industry and one state. $252,735,374.68 is the obligation sum where both filters are true. NAICS 311812 is commercial bakeries, not highway construction and not other accounting services. It is not a statewide spending total and not a national NAICS 311812 total. Those parent tables live on /states/va/ and /industries/311812/.

12,432 awards against $252,735,374.68 is a high-action bakery cell: many records against a nine-figure sum. 12,432 is an award-record count. Modifications can sit beside base awards. The packet does not say how many unique vendors produced the 12,432 lines. Reading 12,432 as factories, ships, or clinics in Virginia would confuse actions with establishments.

Virginia industries (/states/va/industries/) lists other NAICS codes with VA place of performance. All spending ties (/ties/) indexes other state–industry pairs. Do not sum those indexes into $252,735,374.68. The headline remains $252,735,374.68 on 12,432 awards for this pair alone.

Commercial bakeries, not highway construction

NAICS 311812 is a Census industry code assigned on the award. NAICS 311812 is commercial bakeries, not highway construction and not other accounting services. Highway-construction and accounting-services codes are different industry pages even when they share a Virginia tag. Those neighboring codes never enter $252,735,374.68 unless they also appear as 311812, which they do not. Keep the six-digit label when you cite the Virginia cell.

Commercial bakeries cover bread and related goods, not civil construction. This extract does not name SKUs, plants, or primes. Dividing $252,735,374.68 by 12,432 produces about $20,329. That quotient is arithmetic, not a typical Virginia 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.

Virginia geography on a 311812 cell

Virginia place of performance can cover Norfolk, Richmond, Arlington, or a reporting address. The packet has no city split. Inside the VA tag, Norfolk, Richmond, or a named bakery plant are not broken out. The packet has one state key. A named city can sit inside $252,735,374.68 only if its awards carry NAICS 311812 and VA — which this narrative cannot verify.

Place-of-performance geography is not the same as contractor headquarters. A firm based elsewhere can perform in Virginia, and a Virginia address can appear on work done out of state. This join reports the coded pair, not a logistics map. /states/va/ remains the statewide parent.

Obligations versus outlays for Virginia 311812

USAspending obligations are commitments, not checks that have cleared. $252,735,374.68 can include amounts that will be paid later, cancelled, or modified. The packet does not publish outlays. 12,432 is not a payment count. Quote NAICS 311812 in Virginia as obligations and leave fiscal-year folklore off the citation — years are unpublished here.

What the bakery–Virginia pair does not prove

The commercial bakeries–Virginia pair does not prove that Virginia specialized in this industry because of federal demand, or the reverse. Commercial bakeries cover bread and related goods, not civil construction. This extract does not name SKUs, plants, or primes. Campaign-finance tables are a different dataset; donations do not fund these awards. Keep both sides of the join in any headline: NAICS 311812 and Virginia.

How to cite NAICS 311812 in Virginia

Cite USAspending.gov, NAICS 311812 (Commercial Bakeries), Virginia (VA), $252,735,374.68, and 12,432 awards. Note that the figures are obligations. Point readers to /states/va/, /industries/311812/, /states/va/industries/, and /ties/ rather than collapsing those pages into this cell. Mean per award stays about $20,329 as a ratio only. Readers who reuse VA commercial bakeries (311812): $253M should keep both sides of the join in the same sentence, cite USAspending.gov as the source, and treat award rows as records rather than unique vendors. The live hubs linked from this page can refresh the snapshot; this narrative does not invent a fiscal year, a recipient list, or an outlay total that the packet omitted. Place of performance remains a geography tag, not proof that work stayed inside the named state.
