Guided Missile And Space Vehicle Manufacturing federal obligations in Florida
USAspending.gov records $2,956,499,337 in Guided Missile And Space Vehicle Manufacturing (NAICS 336414) obligations with Florida place of performance, across 105 awards.

Key figures
- NAICS 336414 in Florida: $2,956,499,337 across 105 awards.
- Average obligation per award is about $28,157,137.
- The total is obligations, not outlays, and not nationwide Missile manufacturing.
- FL is place of performance, not a launch-pad split.
What NAICS 336414 and Florida share on one row
NAICS 336414 and place-of-performance state FL meet here. $2,956,499,337 is the obligation sum on awards that carry both tags. It is not every federal award in Florida, not the nationwide Guided Missile And Space Vehicle Manufacturing total, and not cash already paid. Space Coast and statewide missile-plant folklore may send a reader here. Those stories are not a launch list and not a pad census.
105 award actions sit behind that dollar figure — a short award list beside a multi-billion obligation total. A few large awards can dominate a dollar total even when the row count looks modest. The join does not rank Florida against other states and does not name vehicles inside the extract.
Open Florida federal spending for the filtered table, NAICS 336414 for the next hub, Florida industries for the remaining hub, and All spending ties for other pairs.
A short missile-manufacturing award list under one Florida filter
Dividing $2,956,499,337 by 105 yields about $28,157,137 per award on average. That average hides contracts, grants, and other instruments. It is not a typical launch contract. NAICS 336414 is missiles and space vehicles, not finished aircraft. Repeat awards still add rows; the listed count is not a unique-plant census. Pad names belong on the overlay if they appear as recipients; they are not extra packet dollars.
Space coast and statewide missile-plant folklore is a coding conversation, not a packet field. Recipient rows live on the industry and state hubs, not in this narrative’s extra columns.
NAICS 336414 without a Florida overlay is a different total
The NAICS 336414 page aggregates NAICS 336414 without requiring FL geography. The Florida federal spending page aggregates all agencies and industries with Florida place of performance. Florida industries lists other industry cells in the same state. Only this tie applies both the 336414 filter and the FL filter, which is why it cites 105 awards and $2,956,499,337.
Place of performance in Florida is a USAspending geography field. Awards can list FL while work occurs in California or Alabama. 336414 awards coded to those states do not sit in this total even if a plant’s mailroom is on the Space Coast. This packet does not split the Space Coast from Tampa or Orlando.
Obligations, not outlays
An obligation is a legal commitment. An outlay is a payment. $2,956,499,337 is the former. This packet has no outlay total, no fiscal-year split, and no de-obligation history. Citing the figure as money already spent in Florida over-reads the field.
Award count 105 is a record count, not a payment count. Readers who need transaction-level detail should use Florida federal spending, NAICS 336414, and Florida industries. All spending ties does not hide a blended statewide total under this slug.
What this pair does not prove
A large 336414 total in Florida does not mean manufacturers caused Florida’s aerospace mix, and it does not connect these obligations to campaign contributions. Correlation between launch geography and missile awards is expected; it is not a finding about readiness or waste.
Keep $2,956,499,337 labeled as NAICS 336414 obligations with Florida place of performance. FEC individual contributions are a different dataset. An industry name that appears near a donor occupation is a coincidence of labeling, not a cash pipeline into USAspending.
How to cite the Florida–336414 pair
A clean footnote names NAICS 336414 (Guided Missile And Space Vehicle Manufacturing), Florida place of performance, $2,956,499,337 in obligations, and 105 awards on USAspending.gov. Keep the obligation word. Do not call $2,956,499,337 cash outlays. Mean dollars per action remain about $28,157,137 if you divide those two facts — a ratio, not a typical launch contract.
Florida federal spending, NAICS 336414, Florida industries, and All spending ties keep the same unit. A later ingest can restate $2,956,499,337 without changing the join definition. Rewrite only the sentence whose source moved. Space Coast-versus-Tampa folklore is not a metro split in this packet. A short award list is still a record count, including modifications. Keep the obligation label in every reuse. Correlation is not causation.
Do not treat a a short award list beside a multi-billion obligation total as a unique-firm census. Unique recipients are not published here. Keep NAICS 336414 and FL as the join key even if a later USAspending ingest restates $2,956,499,337. Those stories are not a launch list and not a pad census.
