Hardware Manufacturing federal obligations in Mississippi (NAICS 332510)

NAICS 332510 dollars tagged to Mississippi

This page intersects one six-digit industry and one state. $13,077,057.86 is the obligation sum where both filters are true. NAICS 332510 is hardware manufacturing, not machine shops and not bolt, nut, screw, rivet, and washer manufacturing. It is not a statewide spending total and not a national NAICS 332510 total. Those parent tables live on Mississippi federal spending and NAICS 332510.

437 awards against $13.1 million is a high-count hardware book with a small implied mean. 437 is an award-record count. Modifications can sit beside base awards. The packet does not say how many unique vendors produced the 437 lines. Reading 437 as hardware plants in Mississippi would confuse actions with establishments. Hardware here is the Census fabricated-metal industry, not computer hardware. SKUs are unpublished.

Mississippi industries lists other NAICS codes with MS place of performance. All spending ties indexes other state–industry pairs. Do not sum those indexes into $13,077,057.86. The headline remains $13,077,057.86 on 437 awards for this pair alone. Mississippi federal spending is larger because it includes other NAICS. NAICS 332510 is larger because it includes other states. This tie is the intersection.

Hardware manufacturing, not machine shops

NAICS 332510 is a Census industry code assigned on the award. NAICS 332510 is hardware manufacturing, not machine shops (332710) and not bolt, nut, screw, rivet, and washer manufacturing (332722). Those neighboring codes never enter $13,077,057.86 unless they also appear as 332510, which they do not. Keep the six-digit label when you cite the Mississippi cell. Residual or neighboring codes are easy to merge in speech and wrong to merge in this table.

Dividing $13,077,057.86 by 437 produces about $29,924.62. That quotient is arithmetic, not a typical Mississippi 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. A high mean can be one vehicle; a low mean can be many delivery orders. This extract cannot tell those stories apart. Unique recipients are unpublished.

Mississippi geography on a 332510 cell

Mississippi place of performance can cover Jackson, Gulfport, a plant campus, or a reporting address. The packet has no county split. Inside the MS tag, Jackson, Gulfport, or a named fabricated metal manufacturing site are not broken out. The packet has one state key. Splitting $13,077,057.86 across those names would be invention. A named city can sit inside $13,077,057.86 only if its awards carry NAICS 332510 and MS — which this narrative cannot verify.

USAspending place of performance is a reporting field. It can diverge from headquarters, from where parts were made, or from where staff sat. This page repeats the coded Mississippi tag. It does not audit the field. Mississippi federal spending uses the same geography convention across industries. Place-of-performance geography is not the same as contractor headquarters.

Obligations, not outlays, on Mississippi 332510

USAspending obligations are commitments, not checks that have cleared. $13,077,057.86 can include amounts that will be paid later, cancelled, or modified. The packet does not publish outlays. 437 is not a payment count. Quote NAICS 332510 in Mississippi as obligations and leave fiscal-year folklore off the citation — years are unpublished here. Do not call $13,077,057.86 “spent in Mississippi this year.”

What the hardware–Mississippi pair does not prove

The hardware–Mississippi pair does not prove that Mississippi specialized in this industry because of federal demand, or the reverse. Correlation is not causation. Federal awards in one NAICS do not explain Mississippi employment, and itemized campaign gifts do not pay USAspending obligations. Different statutes, different tables. This page names no contractors. Cite NAICS 332510 and Mississippi together so the join stays visible. Mississippi industries and All spending ties are the related indexes.

How to cite NAICS 332510 in Mississippi

Footnote form: USAspending.gov; NAICS 332510 Hardware Manufacturing; place of performance Mississippi; obligations $13,077,057.86; awards 437; mean about $29,924.62 (ratio only). Link Mississippi federal spending and NAICS 332510 as parents. Do not convert $13,077,057.86 to per-capita figures; population is not a packet fact. Readers who reuse MS hardware manufacturing | NAICS 332510 should keep both sides of the join in the same sentence, cite USAspending.gov as the source, and treat award rows as records rather than unique vendors. The live hubs linked from this page can refresh the snapshot; this narrative does not invent a fiscal year, a recipient list, or an outlay total that the packet omitted. Place of performance remains a geography tag, not proof that work stayed inside the named state.
