NAICS 311991 dollars tagged to Iowa
NAICS 311991 and geography IA meet in this cell. $18,434,431.76 is the USAspending.gov obligation sum on awards that carry both tags. It is not the industry’s national total, not Iowa’s entire federal inflow, and not an outlay. NAICS 311991 is perishable prepared food manufacturing, not residual miscellaneous food manufacturing and not fats-and-oils refining. The pair is the only object this page measures.
33,338 awards sit beside $18,434,431.76. 33,338 awards against $18,434,431.76 is a high-action food cell: many records, modest dollars per line.

Open Iowa federal spending (/states/ia/) for every industry coded to the state, NAICS 311991 (/industries/311991/) for the code without a state filter, Iowa industries (/states/ia/industries/) for the state industry index, and All spending ties (/ties/) for other pairs. Do not add those parent tables into $18,434,431.76.
Perishable prepared food, not residual food manufacturing
NAICS 311991 is perishable prepared food manufacturing, not residual miscellaneous food manufacturing and not fats-and-oils refining. Sibling NAICS codes stay on other industry pages: Miscellaneous food manufacturing (311999) and fats-and-oils refining (311225) stay on other industry pages even when they share an Iowa tag. Mixing those dollars into $18,434,431.76 would invent a roll-up the packet does not publish. NAICS 311991 is the only industry key on this Iowa tie.
Dividing $18,434,431.76 by 33,338 awards yields about $553 per award. That mean is a ratio of two packet facts, not a typical invoice and not a median. Perishable prepared food covers ready-to-eat lines. This extract does not name SKUs, kitchens, or primes. The packet has no fiscal-year split and no de-obligation history.
Iowa geography on a 311991 cell
Iowa place of performance can cover Des Moines, Cedar Rapids, Sioux City, or a reporting address. The packet has no plant split. Des Moines, Cedar Rapids, or a named prepared-food plant share the IA place-of-performance tag inside $18,434,431.76. This extract does not publish a city or county split. Naming one campus as the whole Iowa book adds a label the facts do not carry.
Place of performance can follow a payee address, in-state work, or a reporting convention. Awards coded to another state do not enter this sum even if a vendor’s mailroom sits in Iowa. The join cannot re-allocate dollars along a supply chain. Iowa federal spending still includes every other NAICS coded to IA.
Obligations, not outlays, on Iowa 311991
An obligation is a legal commitment. An outlay is a payment. $18,434,431.76 is the former. This packet has no outlay total, no fiscal-year split, and no de-obligation history. Citing the figure as cash already cleared in Iowa over-reads the field. 33,338 remains an award-record count, not a payment count and not a beneficiary roster. Keep the obligation word when you quote NAICS 311991 in Iowa.
What the prepared-food–Iowa pair does not prove
A large perishable prepared food total in Iowa does not mean the industry caused the state’s economy, and it does not connect these obligations to campaign contributions. Correlation is not causation. Perishable prepared food covers ready-to-eat lines. This extract does not name SKUs, kitchens, or primes. Keep $18,434,431.76 labeled as NAICS 311991 obligations with Iowa place of performance. FEC donation tables do not fund these USAspending awards.
