Commercial bakeries in Washington (NAICS 311812)

NAICS 311812 and Washington as a bakery join

This page intersects one six-digit industry and one state. $83,574,182 is the obligation sum where both filters are true. NAICS 311812 is commercial bakeries, not a statewide spending total and not a national 311812 rollup. Those parent tables live on Washington federal spending and NAICS 311812.

31,552 awards against $83.6 million is an outlier action count, not a plant census. 31,552 is an award-record count. Modifications and catalog vehicles can sit beside base awards. The packet does not say how many unique vendors produced the 31,552 lines. Reading 31,552 as bakeries, ovens, or clinics in Washington would confuse actions with establishments.

Washington industries lists other NAICS codes with WA place of performance. All spending ties indexes other state–industry pairs. Do not sum those indexes into $83,574,182. The headline remains $83,574,182 on 31,552 awards for this pair alone.

The overlay exists because two filters are true at once. Quote the industry code and the state together whenever you reuse the headline dollar figure. The packet publishes an obligation sum and an award-action count; it does not publish unique vendors, a median, outlays, or a fiscal year. Parent hubs remain the place to see the statewide mix and the national industry page without the other filter.

Commercial bakeries as a high-row food cell

USAspending labels NAICS 311812 as Commercial Bakeries. The packet does not name bread lines, snack plants, or primes. Confectionery and meat-processing codes never enter $83,574,182 unless they also appear as 311812, which they do not. Keep the six-digit label when you cite the Washington cell.

Commissary folklore is ordinary speech, not extra packet dollars. Unique contractors are unpublished. Dividing $83,574,182 by 31,552 produces about $2,648. That quotient is arithmetic, not a typical Washington 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.

Washington geography on a 311812 cell

Washington place of performance can cover Seattle, Spokane, or a reporting address near a federal installation. The packet has no site split. Inside the WA tag, named cities are not broken out. A named city can sit inside $83,574,182 only if its awards carry NAICS 311812 and WA — which this narrative cannot verify.

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

Obligations versus outlays for Washington 311812

USAspending obligations are commitments, not checks that have cleared. $83,574,182 can include amounts that will be paid later, cancelled, or modified. The packet does not publish outlays. 31,552 is not a payment count. Quote NAICS 311812 in Washington as obligations and leave fiscal-year folklore off the citation — years are unpublished here.

What the bakeries–Washington pair does not prove

A huge row count is not proof of waste and not proof of a single prime. Unique contractors are unpublished. 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 Washington. Place of performance remains a geography tag, not proof that work stayed inside the named state.

How to cite commercial bakeries in Washington

Cite USAspending.gov, NAICS 311812 (Commercial Bakeries), Washington (WA), $83,574,182, and 31,552 awards. Note that the figures are obligations. Point readers to Washington federal spending, NAICS 311812, Washington industries, and All spending ties rather than collapsing those pages into this cell. Mean per award stays about $2,648 as a ratio only.

A catalog-scale row count is how this bakery NAICS was recorded in Washington, not a plant census. 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. Keep the obligation word on $83,574,182 in every footnote.
