Optical instrument and lens manufacturing federal obligations in Arizona (NAICS 333314)
Nineteen optical-instrument and lens manufacturing awards carry an Arizona geography stamp on a large sum. Federal obligations coded to NAICS 333314 — Optical Instrument And Lens Manufacturing — with Arizona place of performance total $74,265,441.66 on USAspending.gov, on 19 awards. 19 awards against about $74.3 million is a sparse optics cell: few rows, thick dollars, not a catalog of tiny lens orders. About $3.91 million per award is the packet ratio. The page measures that pair, not an optics-lab census, a named lens vendor, or cash already cleared.
Key figures
- NAICS 333314 in Arizona: $74,265,441.66 across 19 USAspending awards.

NAICS 333314 intersecting Arizona
NAICS 333314 is optical instrument and lens manufacturing, not residual measuring devices and not surgical-appliance manufacturing. The dollar figure $74,265,441.66 applies only where the industry code and the AZ geography are both present. Arizona federal spending is larger because it includes other NAICS. NAICS 333314 is larger because it includes other states. This tie is the intersection.
19 actions produced the Arizona book. 19 awards against about $74.3 million is a sparse optics cell: few rows, thick dollars, not a catalog of tiny lens orders. Award rows are not the same as establishments in the Economic Census. A single vendor can hold several of the 19 records. The packet does not identify vendors.
Readers comparing codes should open /states/az/industries/ rather than inferring rank from this one cell. /ties/ collects other intersections. /industries/333314/ without the Arizona filter is a different total. None of those pages should be added into $74,265,441.66.
Optical instruments, not residual measuring devices
Other measuring and controlling device manufacturing and surgical-appliance manufacturing are different industry pages. Residual or neighboring codes are easy to merge in speech and wrong to merge in this table. NAICS 333314 is optical instrument and lens manufacturing, not residual measuring devices and not surgical-appliance manufacturing. $74,265,441.66 stays inside 333314 × AZ only.
The implied mean of about $3.91 million is $74,265,441.66 / 19. A 19-line optics book can still hold tens of millions if a few vehicles dominate. This extract does not name lenses, plants, or primes. There is no distribution in the packet: no p50, no largest award, no fiscal year. A high mean can be one vehicle; a low mean can be many delivery orders. This extract cannot tell those stories apart.
Arizona geography on a 333314 cell
Arizona place of performance can cover Tucson, Phoenix, Flagstaff, or a reporting address. The packet has no metro split. Ordinary maps mention Tucson, Phoenix, or a named optics shop. This extract has no such split. All of those places, if they appear at all, share AZ inside $74,265,441.66.
USAspending place of performance is a reporting field. It can diverge from where parts were made, where patients were seen, or where a ship was docked. This page repeats the coded Arizona tag. It does not audit the field. /states/az/ uses the same geography convention across industries.
Commitments, not payments, for Arizona 333314
Obligations are not outlays. $74,265,441.66 is the commitment aggregate for this pair. Later modifications can raise or lower what is eventually paid. The packet does not report outlays or a fiscal-year series. Quote 19 as award records. Do not call $74,265,441.66 spent in Arizona this year — no year is published here.
What the optics–Arizona pair does not prove
A 19-line optics book can still hold tens of millions if a few vehicles dominate. This extract does not name lenses, plants, or primes. Federal awards in one NAICS do not explain Arizona employment, and itemized campaign gifts do not pay USAspending obligations. Different statutes, different tables. Cite NAICS 333314 and Arizona together so the join stays visible.
How to cite NAICS 333314 in Arizona
Footnote form: USAspending.gov; NAICS 333314 Optical Instrument And Lens Manufacturing; place of performance Arizona; obligations $74,265,441.66; awards 19; mean about $3.91 million (ratio only). Link /states/az/ and /industries/333314/ as parents, /states/az/industries/ as the in-state index, and /ties/ as other pairs. Leave population and years out; they are not packet facts. Readers who reuse AZ optical instruments (333314) | $74.3M 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.
