Fabricated Structural Metal Manufacturing obligations, FY2024

NAICS 332312 joined with fiscal year 2024

The relationship is mechanical: NAICS 332312 crossed with fiscal year 2024 yields one obligation sum. $669,701,264.52 is that sum for Fabricated Structural Metal Manufacturing in 2024. USAspending.gov publishes the figure as a yearlyTrend obligation total. Obligations are commitments recorded on awards, not Treasury outlays. The industry-wide extract remains $828,005,393.46; the FY2024 hub remains a separate parent. This pair does not explain why agencies bought structural metal fabrication coded on awards, and it does not name contractors or award recipients.

Nothing in the facts supports reading $669,701,264.52 as a count of tons, plants, or named fabricators. Prefabricated metal building manufacturing (NAICS 332311) is a different code. Correlation between this NAICS label and FY2024 spending is the join itself, not a causal story. Campaign-finance tables do not fund these USAspending obligations. Place-of-performance and awarding-agency splits are omitted from this packet.

Structural-metal dollars inside the FY2024 book

On the industry side, NAICS 332312 is the Fabricated Structural Metal Manufacturing extract. Its published total across the extract is $828,005,393.46. $669,701,264.52 sits inside that book at 80.9%; the other fiscal-year rows for the same code sum to $158,304,128.94 in this arithmetic. The parent industry page holds the longer series without isolating 2024. Award records in the extract number 48,387; that count is not limited to FY2024.

Structural metal fabrication coded on awards is the NAICS description attached to the awards, not a proof of goods delivered. A later USAspending ingest can restate $669,701,264.52 or $828,005,393.46 without changing the join keys. Do not add the all-industries index into this cell. The 80.9% share is $669,701,264.52 divided by $828,005,393.46, not a budget score or a ranking of industries.

48,387 records are not 48,387 fabricators

48,387 award records are not 48,387 units of tons, plants, or named fabricators. The count rides with the Fabricated Structural Metal Manufacturing extract, not with a FY2024-only slice. Modifications, deobligations, and multiple lines can inflate row counts. Unique recipients stay unpublished. A per-award mean from $669,701,264.52 and 48,387 would mix a FY2024 dollar total with an extract-wide record count. This packet does not publish a FY2024-only award-record count for NAICS 332312.

What this structural-metal cell omits

What the table is: USAspending.gov NAICS yearlyTrend for Fabricated Structural Metal Manufacturing (NAICS 332312) in fiscal year 2024, totaling $669,701,264.52. What the table is not: an outlay register, a mill map, a beam catalog, a named fabricator roster, an agency split, a map, or an FEC-funded pipeline. Public records, not accusations. Prefabricated metal building manufacturing (NAICS 332311) is a different code.

Do not treat 80.9% as evidence that FY2024 dominated structural metal fabrication coded on awards in a causal sense. The share is arithmetic on two packet totals. Named contractors and award recipients are absent from the facts. Quote NAICS 332312, FY2024, and $669,701,264.52 together. The remainder of the extract after FY2024 is $158,304,128.94 in this arithmetic, still not an outlay.

Parents for NAICS 332312 and FY2024

Four hrefs ship with the packet: /industries/332312/ (NAICS 332312), /fiscal-years/2024/ (FY2024 federal spending), /industries/ (All industries), and /ties/ (All spending ties). Use them as parents, not as this cell. Original filings remain on USAspending.gov for this 332312 × FY2024 pair.

Keep Fabricated Structural Metal Manufacturing and FY2024 together when citing $669,701,264.52. NAICS 332312's extract-wide award-record count is 48,387, not a FY2024 census of tons, plants, or named fabricators. Obligations of $669,701,264.52 are not outlays. The 80.9% share uses the extract-wide $828,005,393.46 as the denominator. Agency and geography splits are omitted. A later ingest can restate $669,701,264.52 without changing NAICS 332312 or fiscal year 2024.

On the year side, fiscal year 2024 is the second join key. $669,701,264.52 is Fabricated Structural Metal Manufacturing inside FY2024, not all federal obligations recorded for that year. Other NAICS codes have their own FY2024 cells. The fiscal-year parent lists government-wide context without this industry filter. FY figures can be incomplete or later restated; the source note on this packet says so.

Keep Fabricated Structural Metal Manufacturing, NAICS 332312, FY2024, and $669,701,264.52 in one citation. Dropping the year turns the figure into the extract-wide $828,005,393.46. Dropping the NAICS turns it into a year hub that is not this join. Outlays remain unpublished here.

Questions

How much did Fabricated Structural Metal Manufacturing obligate in FY2024?

USAspending.gov records $669,701,264.52 in Fabricated Structural Metal Manufacturing obligations for fiscal year 2024 under NAICS 332312. That amount is a yearlyTrend obligation total, not an outlay and not the industry's $828,005,393.46 extract-wide sum. The join names both Fabricated Structural Metal Manufacturing and FY2024; it does not name contractors or award recipients.

Is $669,701,264.52 the entire NAICS 332312 USAspending total?

No. NAICS 332312's extract-wide total is $828,005,393.46. FY2024 is 80.9% of that book. Other fiscal-year rows for the same code are separate cells. Do not add the parent hub into this join. Obligations of $669,701,264.52 are not outlays. USAspending.gov remains the source for the 332312 × 2024 pair.

Do 48,387 awards equal 48,387 metal fabricators in FY2024?

No. 48,387 is the Fabricated Structural Metal Manufacturing award-record count in this extract, not a FY2024-only census of fabricators, tons, or named plants. The packet does not split those records by fiscal year or name contractors. USAspending.gov remains the source. Unique recipients are unpublished on this join.

Do FEC filings explain Fabricated Structural Metal Manufacturing obligations in FY2024?

No. FEC filings do not explain $669,701,264.52. The source is USAspending.gov. Obligations are not outlays, and donations do not fund NAICS 332312 in FY2024. The pair is NAICS 332312 plus fiscal year 2024. Campaign-finance tables are a different dataset from this yearlyTrend cell.
