Explosives Manufacturing federal obligations in Tennessee
Explosives Manufacturing (NAICS 325920) shows $64,599,051.06 in USAspending.gov obligations with Tennessee as place of performance. Fifty-two awards sit behind that total. The join is a Census industry code crossed with a state location field, not Tennessee's entire energetics economy and not a count of plants. The dollars are commitments, not Treasury outlays.

Tennessee x 325920 is an industry join, not a plant census
This page pairs NAICS 325920, EXPLOSIVES MANUFACTURING, with Tennessee place of performance. The code covers explosives manufacturing, not ammunition and not mining services. SpendingVault sums tagged obligations: $64,599,051.06 on 52 awards. The extract does not list plants, magazines, or pounds. Treat the pair as a catalog intersection, not a ranking of which state makes more explosives, and not a claim that 52 awards equal 52 plants.
Other related listings — ammunition manufacturing, chemical manufacturing, or mining support — sit outside $64,599,051.06 unless they also carry 325920. Mixing explosives manufacturing with ammunition would invent a combined energetics figure the packet never computed. Correlation between this obligation sum and blasting-permit counts is not causation. Blasting-permit counts are not in the packet. Place of performance as Tennessee locates the tagged awards; it does not deposit $64,599,051.06 in a state munitions account.
52 awards behind $64.6 million
Award count is a row count of tagged awards, including possible modifications and delivery orders. It is not a census of plants, sites, or contractors. Mean obligation is about $1,242,289 if $64,599,051.06 were divided evenly across 52 lines — a mechanical ratio, not a typical energetics contract, and not a published unit price. The packet has no commercial-versus-military split inside 325920.
Fifty-two lines are too many to narrate one by one. Sort the Tennessee 325920 overlay by amount to see concentration. This page will not invent contractor names. Open NAICS 325920 for the national listing and Tennessee industries for other codes. Do not convert 52 into a map of job sites. The $64,599,051.06 total remains an obligation rollup on tagged awards.
What NAICS 325920 covers in this extract
The listing title is Explosives Manufacturing. This extract does not split industrial blasting agents from military explosives, nor does it split bulk from packaged product. Those cuts would require award documentation beyond dollars, 52 awards, NAICS 325920, and Tennessee. This page will not invent a product-line share.
Obligations are recorded commitments. Outlays are payments from the Treasury. The $64,599,051.06 headline is the obligation sum, not product already shipped and not a fiscal-year outlay total. No fiscal year is attached. A munitions press release dated to a particular year is not automatically this join unless it uses NAICS 325920, Tennessee geography, and the obligation metric.
What the Tennessee explosives manufacturing table omits
The extract has no employment count, no plant list, and no magazine inventory. Facts remain $64,599,051.06, 52 awards, NAICS 325920, and Tennessee. This page will not invent a ranking against other states' 325920 joins. Defense and civilian blasting buyers can both sit in the file; the extract does not label them.
Tennessee federal spending and Tennessee industries place 325920 among other codes. NAICS 325920 is the national catalog line. All spending ties indexes other industry-by-state pairs. Mixing those shelves would invent a share of Tennessee chemical manufacturing the packet never computed. The $64,599,051.06 figure is the tagged pair only.
Where the 325920 x Tennessee overlay lives
Start with Tennessee federal spending for statewide context and NAICS 325920 for the nationwide industry listing. Tennessee industries lists other codes with Tennessee place of performance. All spending ties is the shelf for other NAICS x state pairs on the same obligation metric. Fifty-two awards are tagged rows, not a plants census. Names behind the rows are not in this packet.
Readers who need a different industry or a different state should leave this URL rather than adding numbers by hand. The $64,599,051.06 figure is the tagged NAICS 325920 × Tennessee pair only. USAspending.gov remains the source; SpendingVault republishes the join. Place of performance is a geography tag on awards, not proof that every dollar stayed inside Tennessee after obligation. If a later extract revises the rollup, this page's facts will be stale until the packet is rebuilt. Do not annualize $64,599,051.06 into a per-year run rate: no fiscal year is in the facts.
How to read the Tennessee × NAICS 325920 pair
A ties page exists because two tables meet. One table is the industry code (NAICS 325920). The other is place of performance as Tennessee. The headline $64,599,051.06 is the obligation sum on that intersection. It is not a forecast, not a budget request, and not an outlay. It is also not a claim that NAICS 325920 caused Tennessee's economy to grow, or that Tennessee caused NAICS 325920 awards to exist. Correlation between geography and a catalog code is the join — nothing more.
Use the internal links to step off this pair: the statewide spending shelf, the national industry listing, the state's other industry pages, and the ties index. Each of those pages uses the same obligation metric unless a page says otherwise. If you need award-level names, open the overlay or the stored table rather than treating this narrative as a recipient directory. If you need a different metric — outlays, current-year only, or a different geography — that metric is not in this packet.
