Fats And Oils Refining And Blending in Tennessee (NAICS 311225)
A fifty-line fats-and-oils refining book carries a Tennessee geography stamp. 50 USAspending.gov awards coded to Fats And Oils Refining And Blending (NAICS 311225) and Tennessee place of performance carry $31,379,141.35 in federal obligations. 50 awards against $31.4 million is a moderately concentrated food-manufacturing cell: fewer lines than a high-volume book, still a large dollar total. Mean obligation per award is about $627,583. The join is NAICS 311225 plus Tennessee, not a Tennessee crush-plant census, a named-brand roster, or an outlay.

NAICS 311225 and Tennessee as a fats-and-oils join
This page intersects one six-digit industry and one state. $31,379,141.35 is the obligation sum where both filters are true. NAICS 311225 is fats and oils refining and blending, not soybean and other oilseed processing and not margarine and cooking oil manufacturing as a neighboring speech category. It is not a statewide spending total and not a national NAICS 311225 total. Those parent tables live on Tennessee federal spending and NAICS 311225.
50 awards against $31.4 million is a moderately concentrated food-manufacturing cell: fewer lines than a high-volume book, still a large dollar total. 50 is an award-record count. Modifications can sit beside base awards. The packet does not say how many unique vendors produced the 50 lines. Reading 50 as factories, ships, or clinics in Tennessee would confuse actions with establishments.
Tennessee industries lists other NAICS codes with TN place of performance. All spending ties indexes other state–industry pairs. Do not sum those indexes into $31,379,141.35. The headline remains $31,379,141.35 on 50 awards for this pair alone.
Refining and blending, not oilseed crushing
NAICS 311225 is a Census industry code assigned on the award. NAICS 311225 is fats and oils refining and blending, not soybean and other oilseed processing and not margarine and cooking oil manufacturing as a neighboring speech category. Soybean and other oilseed processing (311224) and other food-manufacturing codes sit on different industry pages. Those neighboring codes never enter $31,379,141.35 unless they also appear as 311225, which they do not. Keep the six-digit label when you cite the Tennessee cell.
Crushing codes are easy to blend with refining-and-blending lines in speech. This table keeps 311225 only. Unique plants are unpublished. Dividing $31,379,141.35 by 50 produces about $627,583. That quotient is arithmetic, not a typical Tennessee 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.
Tennessee geography on a 311225 cell
Tennessee place of performance can cover Memphis, Nashville, a federal campus, or a reporting address. The packet has no county split. Inside the TN tag, Memphis, Nashville, or a named refining plant are not broken out. The packet has one state key. A named city can sit inside $31,379,141.35 only if its awards carry NAICS 311225 and TN — which this narrative cannot verify.
Place-of-performance geography is not the same as contractor headquarters. A firm based elsewhere can perform in Tennessee, and a Tennessee address can appear on work done out of state. This join reports the coded pair, not a logistics map. Tennessee federal spending remains the statewide parent.
Obligations versus outlays for Tennessee 311225
USAspending obligations are commitments, not checks that have cleared. $31,379,141.35 can include amounts that will be paid later, cancelled, or modified. The packet does not publish outlays. 50 is not a payment count. Quote NAICS 311225 in Tennessee as obligations and leave fiscal-year folklore off the citation — years are unpublished here.
What the fats-and-oils–Tennessee pair does not prove
The fats and oils refining–Tennessee pair does not prove that Tennessee specialized in this industry because of federal demand, or the reverse. Crushing codes are easy to blend with refining-and-blending lines in speech. This table keeps 311225 only. Unique plants 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 311225 and Tennessee.
