Nonferrous metal rolling (except copper and aluminum) federal obligations in Utah
USAspending.gov records $962,197,478.42 in NAICS 331491 obligations — Nonferrous Metal (Except Copper And Aluminum) Rolling, Drawing, And Extruding — with Utah place of performance, across 336 awards. Three hundred thirty-six actions against a $962.2 million book lift the mean to about $2.86 million per award. The pair is this mill code plus Utah, not a copper-sheet total and not cash already paid.
Key figures
- NAICS 331491 in Utah: $962,197,478.42 across 336 USAspending awards.
- Implied mean about $2.86 million per award, not a typical mill order.
- The code excludes copper and aluminum rolling by definition.
- Cite obligations from USAspending.gov; keep both sides of the join.
What the 331491–Utah join is
NAICS 331491 and geography UT meet in this cell. $962,197,478.42 is the USAspending.gov obligation sum on awards that carry both tags. It is not the nationwide 331491 book, not Utah’s entire federal inflow, and not an outlay. Copper and aluminum rolling sit on other NAICS codes; this extract excludes them by definition.
336 awards is a short mill list beside $962,197,478.42. A modest row count can still hold a large commitment if a few rolling or drawing vehicles dominate. The packet does not name titanium, nickel, zinc, or precious-metal lines inside the 336 records. Those metal names are ordinary speech, not extra packet dollars.
Open Utah federal spending for every awarding industry in the state, NAICS 331491 for this code without a Utah filter, Utah industries for other Utah NAICS pairs, and All spending ties for joins outside this mill cell. Do not add those parents into $962,197,478.42.
A short mill book on a mountain-west tag
Dividing $962,197,478.42 by 336 awards yields about $2.86 million per award. That mean is a ratio of two packet facts, not a typical Tooele mill order and not a typical Salt Lake drawing line. Unique recipients are unpublished. 336 is not a count of rolling stands or extrusion presses.
Utah geography invites a single-plant story. This extract does not split Magna, Tooele, or a Wasatch Front industrial park. All share UT inside $962,197,478.42. Treating the cell as one named mill’s budget adds a label the facts do not carry.
Nationwide 331491 without a Utah overlay is a different total
The national industry hub aggregates 331491 across every state. Utah’s statewide hub aggregates every NAICS with a UT tag. Only awards that carry both 331491 and Utah place of performance belong here, which is why this page cites 336 awards and $962,197,478.42.
Place of performance can follow a payee address, in-state work, or a reporting convention. Awards coded to Nevada, Colorado, or Idaho do not enter this sum even if a mill’s mailroom sits in Salt Lake City. The join cannot re-allocate dollars along a western metals chain.
Obligations, not outlays, on the Utah mill cell
An obligation is a legal commitment. An outlay is a payment. $962,197,478.42 is the former. This packet has no outlay total, no fiscal-year split, and no de-obligation history. Citing the figure as metal already shipped from Utah over-reads the field. 336 remains an award-record count, not a shipment count and not a mill-employment roster.
What the Utah–331491 pair does not prove
A large nonferrous-rolling total in Utah does not mean the code caused Utah’s metals mix, and it does not connect these obligations to campaign contributions. Correlation is not causation. Capacity, tariffs, and plant ownership are not USAspending columns on this packet.
Keep $962,197,478.42 labeled as NAICS 331491 obligations with Utah place of performance. Utah federal spending still includes other industries that must not be folded into this cell. NAICS 331491 is 331491 without the Utah filter. Utah industries lists sibling Utah codes without merging copper or aluminum rolling here.
How to cite nonferrous rolling in Utah
A clean footnote names NAICS 331491 (nonferrous metal rolling, drawing, and extruding except copper and aluminum), Utah place of performance, $962,197,478.42 in obligations, and 336 awards on USAspending.gov. Keep the obligation word. Mean dollars per action remain about $2.86 million. Do not per-mill the total; a plant census is unpublished. All spending ties indexes other pairs. A later ingest can restate $962,197,478.42 without changing the join of 331491 and UT.
Copper-sheet and aluminum-extrusion folklore belongs on other NAICS pages, not this except-copper-and-aluminum cell. Utah federal spending still mixes every Utah industry; do not quote that parent as 331491. NAICS 331491 is the national mill code without the Utah tag. Utah industries keeps sibling Utah factory codes unmerged. Repeat awards and modifications still add rows, so 336 is not a unique-mill census. Keep the obligation label on $962,197,478.42 in every reuse. Correlation is not causation.

- USAspending.gov records $962,197,478.42 in obligations for NAICS 331491 with Utah place of performance, covering 336 awards. That is an obligation aggregate for the mill-code–Utah pair, not an outlay figure and not the nationwide 331491 total. Original filings remain on USAspending.gov.
- Why so few 331491 awards relative to $962M in Utah?
- The extract lists 336 award actions totaling $962,197,478.42. A short row list can still hold a large dollar total if a few awards dominate. Average obligation per award is about $2.86 million, a ratio, not a typical mill order. Unique recipients are not published on this packet.
- Does this include copper or aluminum rolling in Utah?
- No. NAICS 331491 is the except-copper-and-aluminum rolling, drawing, and extruding code. $962,197,478.42 does not absorb copper or aluminum rolling books. Those sit on other NAICS pages. Quote 331491 and Utah together and keep the obligation label.
- Where are the live Utah and 331491 tables?
- Utah federal spending shows all industries in the state. NAICS 331491 shows NAICS 331491 without a state filter. Utah industries lists other Utah industry pairs. All spending ties lists joins outside this cell. Prefer those hubs after later USAspending ingests.
