Guided Missile And Space Vehicle Manufacturing federal obligations in Massachusetts

What NAICS 336414 and Massachusetts share on one row

NAICS 336414 and place-of-performance state MA meet here. $378,344,453.60 is the obligation sum on awards that carry both tags. It is not every federal award in Massachusetts, not the nationwide Guided Missile And Space Vehicle Manufacturing total, and not cash already paid. Route 128 missile-plant folklore and statewide space-vehicle stories may send a reader here. Those stories are not a plant list and not a launch census.

26 award actions sit behind that dollar figure — a short award list beside a nine-figure obligation total. A few large awards can dominate a dollar total even when the row count looks tiny. The join does not rank Massachusetts against other states and does not name systems inside the extract.

Open Massachusetts federal spending for the filtered table, NAICS 336414 for the next hub, Massachusetts industries for the remaining hub, and All spending ties for other pairs.

26 missile-manufacturing actions under a Massachusetts geography tag

Dividing $378,344,453.60 by 26 yields about $14,551,709.75 per award on average. That average hides contracts, grants, and other instruments. It is not a typical missile contract. NAICS 336414 is missiles and space vehicles, not finished aircraft (336411) and not aircraft parts (336413). Those codes sit on other industry hubs. Do not collapse them because all three can appear in the same state.

Route 128 missile-plant folklore and statewide space-vehicle stories 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 Massachusetts overlay is a different total

The NAICS 336414 page aggregates NAICS 336414 without requiring MA geography. The Massachusetts federal spending page aggregates all agencies and industries with Massachusetts place of performance. Massachusetts industries lists other industry cells in the same state. Only this tie applies both the 336414 filter and the MA filter, which is why it cites 26 awards and $378,344,453.60.

Place of performance in Massachusetts is a USAspending geography field. Awards can list MA while work occurs in Connecticut or elsewhere. 336414 awards coded to those states do not sit in this total even if a plant's mailroom is in the Boston suburbs. This packet does not split Boston from Worcester or the North Shore.

Obligations, not outlays

An obligation is a legal commitment. An outlay is a payment. $378,344,453.60 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 Massachusetts over-reads the field.

Award count 26 is a record count, not a payment count. Readers who need transaction-level detail should use Massachusetts federal spending, NAICS 336414, and Massachusetts 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 Massachusetts does not mean manufacturers caused Massachusetts's industrial mix, and it does not connect these obligations to campaign contributions. Correlation between plant geography and missile awards is expected; it is not a finding about readiness or waste.

Keep $378,344,453.60 labeled as NAICS 336414 obligations with Massachusetts 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 Massachusetts-336414 pair

A clean footnote names NAICS 336414 (Guided Missile And Space Vehicle Manufacturing), Massachusetts place of performance, $378,344,453.60 in obligations, and 26 awards on USAspending.gov. Keep the obligation word. Do not call $378,344,453.60 cash outlays. Mean dollars per action remain about $14,551,709.75 if you divide those two facts — a ratio, not a typical missile contract.

Massachusetts federal spending, NAICS 336414, Massachusetts industries, and All spending ties keep the same unit. A later ingest can restate $378,344,453.60 without changing the join definition. Rewrite only the sentence whose source moved. Boston-versus-Worcester folklore is not a metro split in this packet. A short award list is still a record count, including modifications. System names belong on the overlay if they appear as recipients; they are not extra packet dollars. Keep the obligation label in every reuse. Correlation is not causation.

Questions

How much has NAICS 336414 obligated in Massachusetts?

USAspending.gov records $378,344,453.60 in obligations for NAICS 336414 with Massachusetts place of performance, covering 26 awards. That is an obligation total, not an outlay total, and not the nationwide Missile manufacturing total. Original filings remain on the source sites.

Why are there so few missile awards in Massachusetts relative to the dollars?

The extract lists 26 award actions totaling $378,344,453.60. Average obligation per award is about $14,551,709.75, a ratio of two packet facts, not a typical missile contract. Unique recipients are not published here, and the row count is not a company census. Original filings remain on the source sites.

Is this a Boston-only missile total?

No. $378,344,453.60 and 26 awards are statewide Massachusetts place of performance. This packet does not split Boston from Worcester or the North Shore. A regional cut would be a different extract, not this NAICS-state join. Original filings remain on the source sites.

Where are the live Massachusetts and NAICS 336414 tables?

Massachusetts federal spending shows statewide spending. NAICS 336414 shows NAICS 336414 without a state filter. Massachusetts industries lists other Massachusetts industry cells. All spending ties lists other pairs. This page is the join of those two filters, not a restatement of either hub. Original filings remain on the source sites.
