Nonferrous Metal (Except Aluminum) Smelting And Refining federal obligations in FY2026

The FY2026 filter on Nonferrous Smelting (ex Al)

NAICS 331410 and fiscal year 2026 meet here. $555,571,273.27 is the USAspending.gov obligation sum on the yearlyTrend row that carries both tags. It is not Nonferrous Metal (Except Aluminum) Smelting And Refining's nationwide all-year total of $3,158,134,361.94, not every federal dollar coded to FY2026, and not an outlay register. The packet does not split smelting from refining, or add aluminum back into the excepted code. 810 is an industry-extract action count: modifications and repeat awards add rows across years. Unique recipients are unpublished. This cell is not a smelter census, a tonnage ledger, or a named-plant roster.

Open /industries/331410/ (NAICS 331410) for the industry table without this FY2026 filter, /fiscal-years/2026/ (FY2026 federal spending) for the year table without this NAICS filter, /industries/ (All industries) for every industry, and /ties/ (All spending ties) for the rest of the join list. Quote those hubs as parents, not as addends to $555,571,273.27. 331410 is not rolling-drawing-extruding except copper and aluminum (331491) on FY2025. Different processes, different years.

The nonferrous metal (except aluminum) smelting and refining rollup versus one fiscal year

USAspending labels NAICS 331410 as Nonferrous Metal (Except Aluminum) Smelting And Refining. That code produced $555,571,273.27 when crossed with fiscal year 2026. The industry-wide 331410 hub does not require a FY2026 filter. The year hub does not require Nonferrous Smelting (ex Al). Only this tie applies both filters. The packet does not split smelting from refining, or add aluminum back into the excepted code. Smelting versus refining stays inside one NAICS. This page will not invent that process pie.

Correlation is not causation: FY2026 did not cause $555,571,273.27 by existing as a large or small budget year. The join is 331410 × FY2026 only. This cell is not a smelter census, a tonnage ledger, or a named-plant roster. Do not invent contractors or award recipients to fill the gap. Campaign donations on FEC tables do not fund this USAspending cell; the datasets are separate. Eight hundred ten industry-extract awards belong to 331410 across years, not to FY2026 as a smelter census.

Reading the compact Nonferrous Smelting (ex Al) parent file

810 is the Nonferrous Metal (Except Aluminum) Smelting And Refining award-record count published with the industry extract, not a count of FY2026 instruments. Dividing $555,571,273.27 by 810 would mix a one-year dollar total with a multi-year row count, so this page does not publish that ratio as a typical invoice. Unique recipients are unpublished. Modifications and multi-year vehicles can add lines without adding vendors. Eight hundred ten industry-extract awards belong to 331410 across years, not to FY2026 as a smelter census. FY2026 figures can be incomplete for the current year, so even the dollar cell may still move.

A compact parent file makes a program split tempting; the packet still does not supply one. A thin parent file makes a named-facility story tempting; the packet still does not name facilities or contractors. 17.6% of $3,158,134,361.94 is the year share on this packet, not a performance score.

USAspending obligations on this pair

USAspending.gov records an obligation when the federal government commits funds on an award. $555,571,273.27 is that kind of sum for Nonferrous Metal (Except Aluminum) Smelting And Refining in FY2026. Later deobligations, recoveries, or payment schedules can change what leaves the Treasury without this join rewriting itself into a cash register. Assistance and contract awards can share the same NAICS rollup; this packet does not split them. Net obligations can include downward adjustments. This page reports $555,571,273.27 as given.

Treat 810 as award records on the industry extract, not unique vendors and not a FY2026 headcount. Do not per-capita or per-recipient the dollar total; those denominators are unpublished. FEC contribution tables do not fund these awards. Tonnage and plant names are unpublished. Do not forecast a full FY2026 book from this snapshot.

Citing $555,571,273.27 without dropping a join side

Cite USAspending.gov: Nonferrous Metal (Except Aluminum) Smelting And Refining (NAICS 331410) obligated $555,571,273.27 in FY2026. Name Nonferrous Metal (Except Aluminum) Smelting And Refining and FY2026 together. Keep the obligation word. If /industries/331410/ or /fiscal-years/2026/ has refreshed, prefer the live hub over this snapshot for current rows. The pair is not a smelter census, a tonnage ledger, or a named-plant roster. 17.6% of $3,158,134,361.94 is the industry share on this packet, not a budget score. /industries/ lists other industries; /ties/ indexes other pairs.

What this packet refuses to infer

Eight hundred ten industry-extract awards belong to 331410 across years, not to FY2026 as a smelter census. 331410 is not rolling-drawing-extruding except copper and aluminum (331491) on FY2025. Different processes, different years. A reader who quotes 810 as unique companies in FY2026 has left the packet. A reader who treats 17.6% as a hardship or success ranking has added a score the table does not carry. Prefer /industries/331410/ and /fiscal-years/2026/ if the live tables moved. Tonnage and plant names are unpublished. Do not forecast a full FY2026 book from this snapshot.

Questions

How much Nonferrous Smelting (ex Al) spending is obligated in FY2026?

USAspending.gov lists $555,571,273.27 in Nonferrous Metal (Except Aluminum) Smelting And Refining (NAICS 331410) obligations for FY2026. That yearlyTrend amount is 17.6% of the industry's $3,158,134,361.94 extract-wide total. It is an obligation join, not an outlay and not every federal dollar in FY2026. Unique recipients are unpublished.

Is $555,571,273.27 the entire Nonferrous Smelting (ex Al) USAspending total?

No. NAICS 331410's extract-wide total is $3,158,134,361.94. FY2026 is 17.6% of that book. Other fiscal-year rows for the same industry are separate cells. Do not add /industries/331410/ into this join. 810 award records stay on the industry extract, not on this yearlyTrend row.

Is $555,571,273.27 cash already paid in FY2026?

No. Obligations are commitments recorded on USAspending.gov awards. Outlays — money that actually left the Treasury — are a different concept and are not this packet's headline. Treating $555,571,273.27 as checks already cleared in FY2026 confuses those terms. Prefer the live industry and year hubs if the tables moved.

Why not divide $555,571,273.27 by 810 awards?

Because 810 is the industry-extract award-record count across years, not a FY2026-only census. Mixing that denominator with a one-year dollar total invents a typical invoice the packet does not publish. Recipients remain unpublished. USAspending.gov remains the source for NAICS 331410 in FY2026.
