Machine Tool Manufacturing federal obligations in Kansas (NAICS 333517)

NAICS 333517 and Kansas as a machine-tool join

This page intersects one six-digit industry and one state. $13,970,842.20 is the obligation sum where both filters are true. NAICS 333517 is machine tool manufacturing, not special die and tool, die set, jig, and fixture manufacturing and not industrial mold manufacturing. It is not a statewide spending total and not a national NAICS 333517 total. Those parent tables live on Kansas federal spending and NAICS 333517.

29 awards against $14.0 million is a mid-count capital-equipment book rather than a high-count parts file. 29 is an award-record count. Modifications can sit beside base awards. The packet does not say how many unique vendors produced the 29 lines. Reading 29 as machine-tool plants in Kansas would confuse actions with establishments. Machine tools are production equipment, not the parts those tools later cut; the packet does not list SKUs.

Kansas industries lists other NAICS codes with KS place of performance. All spending ties indexes other state–industry pairs. Do not sum those indexes into $13,970,842.20. The headline remains $13,970,842.20 on 29 awards for this pair alone. Kansas federal spending is larger because it includes other NAICS. NAICS 333517 is larger because it includes other states. This tie is the intersection.

Machine tools, not industrial molds

NAICS 333517 is a Census industry code assigned on the award. NAICS 333517 is machine tool manufacturing, not special die and tool, die set, jig, and fixture manufacturing (333514) and not industrial mold manufacturing (333511). Those neighboring codes never enter $13,970,842.20 unless they also appear as 333517, which they do not. Keep the six-digit label when you cite the Kansas cell. Residual or neighboring codes are easy to merge in speech and wrong to merge in this table.

Dividing $13,970,842.20 by 29 produces about $481,753.18. That quotient is arithmetic, not a typical Kansas 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 Unique recipients are unpublished.

Kansas geography on a 333517 cell

Kansas place of performance can cover Wichita, Kansas City, a machine shop campus, or a reporting address. The packet has no county split. Inside the KS tag, Wichita, Kansas City, or a named machinery manufacturing site are not broken out. The packet has one state key. Splitting $13,970,842.20 across those names would be invention. A named city can sit inside $13,970,842.20 only if its awards carry NAICS 333517 and KS — 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 Kansas tag. It does not audit the field. Kansas federal spending uses the same geography convention across industries. Place-of-performance geography is not the same as contractor headquarters.

Obligations versus outlays for Kansas 333517

USAspending obligations are commitments, not checks that have cleared. $13,970,842.20 can include amounts that will be paid later, cancelled, or modified. The packet does not publish outlays. 29 is not a payment count. Quote NAICS 333517 in Kansas as obligations and leave fiscal-year folklore off the citation — years are unpublished here. Do not call $13,970,842.20 “spent in Kansas this year.”

What the machine-tool–Kansas pair does not prove

The machine-tool–Kansas pair does not prove that Kansas specialized in this industry because of federal demand, or the reverse. Correlation is not causation. Federal awards in one NAICS do not explain Kansas employment, and itemized campaign gifts do not pay USAspending obligations. Different statutes, different tables. This page names no contractors. Cite NAICS 333517 and Kansas together so the join stays visible. Kansas industries and All spending ties are the related indexes.

How to cite NAICS 333517 in Kansas

Footnote form: USAspending.gov; NAICS 333517 Machine Tool Manufacturing; place of performance Kansas; obligations $13,970,842.20; awards 29; mean about $481,753.18 (ratio only). Link Kansas federal spending and NAICS 333517 as parents. Do not convert $13,970,842.20 to per-capita figures; population is not a packet fact. Readers who reuse KS machine tool manufacturing | NAICS 333517 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.
