Food Service Contractors in North Carolina 3rd District (NC-03)

NAICS 722310 × NC-03 is a dining-support join, not a mess roster

This page is a join: Food Service Contractors (NAICS 722310) as the industry key, and North Carolina 3rd District (NC-03) as congressional district place of performance. SpendingVault sums tagged obligations to $1,487,718,326.50 on 3 awards. The join is NAICS 722310 crossed with an NC-03 location field, not North Carolina's entire food-service book and not a named-vendor inventory. Treat the pair as a catalog intersection, not a ranking of which district received more, and not a claim that 3 awards equal 3 dining halls or 3 unique contractors.

Other North Carolina district cells sit outside this total unless they also carry NAICS 722310 and NC-03. Mixing those books into $1,487,718,326.50 would invent a combined figure the packet never computed. Correlation between this obligation sum and local contracted-food employment is not causation. Dining-hall names and meal counts are not in the packet. Place of performance as NC-03 locates the tagged awards; it does not deposit $1,487,718,326.50 in a district treasury. Jacksonville-versus-New Bern folklore is not a geography split in this packet.

3 awards behind $1.49 billion

Mean obligation is about $495,906,108.83 if $1,487,718,326.50 were divided evenly across 3 lines. That ratio is not a published meal cost and not a typical dining-contract size. Award count is a row count, including possible continuations and modifications. It is not a count of dining halls, meals, or unique vendors. Three awards against a $1.49 billion cell is a very concentrated food-service file: few rows, large implied mean.

Large dining vehicles can post as a handful of high-dollar rows. This page will not invent contractor or recipient names. Open North Carolina 3rd District for the stored district table. Do not convert 3 into a map of North Carolina 3rd District dining halls. The $1,487,718,326.50 total remains an obligation rollup on tagged awards. Inspect named lines on the overlay rather than inferring a dining-hall census.

North Carolina 3rd District, not a statewide food-service rollup

North Carolina 3rd District (NC-03) is one geography tag on USAspending awards, not a commuting zone and not a metro list. Awards tagged to NC-01, NC-07, or another North Carolina district are out even if the dining program sounds related. Recipient address can differ from that district tag. The district parent in this extract is $14,107,795,476.14 across every industry; $1,487,718,326.50 is the Food Service Contractors slice — about 10.5% of that parent by arithmetic. Subtracting is tempting; this page still does not publish the leftover NAICS list.

A statewide food-service-contractor figure on North Carolina federal spending is a different shelf. Do not rank NC-03 against neighboring districts as a winner or loser. Other North Carolina district cells are other joins. North Carolina federal spending is the statewide book without a district filter. Adding statewide Food Service Contractors dollars to $1,487,718,326.50 would double count. Campaign-finance filings are a different public-record system; this join does not claim donations funded these obligations.

NAICS 722310 obligations are not meals already served

Food-service contractor awards often obligate as multi-year dining vehicles and draw as meals are billed. The $1,487,718,326.50 headline is the obligation sum, not a punch-list of meals already served and not a Treasury outlay total. A contracted-dining dashboard dated to a particular year is not automatically this join unless it uses NAICS 722310, NC-03 geography, and the obligation metric.

NAICS 722310 is the nationwide industry book without a NC-03 filter. This extract does not split garrison from shipboard dining, and it does not invent a named-vendor list. Those cuts would require award documentation beyond dollars, 3 awards, NAICS 722310, and North Carolina 3rd District. This page will not invent a share. Unique recipients remain unpublished.

What the NC-03 food-service table omits

The extract has no vendor names, dining-hall names, or meal counts. Facts remain $1,487,718,326.50, 3 awards, NAICS 722310, Food Service Contractors, North Carolina 3rd District (NC-03), and district parent $14,107,795,476.14. Eastern North Carolina dining folklore belongs on another extract if it appears at all. Keep the obligation label. Later ingests can revise both the dollars and the 3-award count; prefer the live table when the overlay and this snapshot diverge.

Where the 722310 × NC-03 pair lives

Start with North Carolina 3rd District for the district rollup that contains this Food Service Contractors cell. NAICS 722310 is the nationwide NAICS 722310 listing. North Carolina federal spending gives North Carolina context without a NC-03 filter. All spending ties indexes other two-key joins on the same obligation metric. Three awards totaling this cell remain an administrative file, not a dining roster. Keep both Food Service Contractors and North Carolina 3rd District (NC-03) in every citation sentence. Do not recast $1,487,718,326.50 as cash already paid or as North Carolina's entire food-service appropriation. USAspending.gov remains the source; SpendingVault republishes the join. FEC contribution tables do not fund this cell.
