Perishable Prepared Food Manufacturing federal obligations in Kentucky

Kentucky x 311991 is an industry join, not a plant census

This page pairs NAICS 311991, PERISHABLE PREPARED FOOD MANUFACTURING, with Kentucky place of performance. The code covers perishable prepared food manufacturing, not frozen specialty food and not commercial bakeries. SpendingVault sums tagged obligations: $70,030,602.76 on 108,363 awards. The extract does not list plants, SKUs, or meals. Treat the pair as a catalog intersection, not a ranking of which state packs more perishable meals, and not a claim that 108,363 awards equal 108,363 plants.

Other related listings — frozen specialty food, commercial bakeries, or food merchant wholesale — sit outside $70,030,602.76 unless they also carry 311991. Mixing perishable prepared food with frozen specialty food would invent a combined prepared-foods figure the packet never computed. Correlation between this obligation sum and meal counts is not causation. Meal counts are not in the packet. Place of performance as Kentucky locates the tagged awards; it does not deposit $70,030,602.76 in a state nutrition account.

108,363 awards behind $70.0 million

Award count is a row count of tagged awards, including possible modifications, task orders, and repeat delivery vehicles. It is not a census of plants, sites, or contractors. Mean obligation is about $646 if $70,030,602.76 were divided evenly across 108,363 lines — a mechanical ratio, not a typical food delivery order, and not a published unit price. High row counts often mean many small lines, not many factories.

One hundred eight thousand three hundred sixty-three lines are far too many to narrate one by one. Sort the Kentucky 311991 overlay by amount to see whether dollars concentrate in a few large awards. This page will not invent contractor names. Open NAICS 311991 for the national listing and Kentucky industries for other codes. Do not convert 108,363 into a map of job sites. The $70,030,602.76 total remains an obligation rollup on tagged awards.

What NAICS 311991 covers in this extract

The listing title is Perishable Prepared Food Manufacturing. This extract does not split fresh-cut produce from other perishable meals, nor does it split defense food-service from civilian nutrition. Those cuts would require award documentation beyond dollars, 108,363 awards, NAICS 311991, and Kentucky. This page will not invent a product-line share.

Obligations are recorded commitments. Outlays are payments from the Treasury. The $70,030,602.76 headline is the obligation sum, not meals already packed and not a fiscal-year outlay total. No fiscal year is attached. A food-service press release dated to a particular year is not automatically this join unless it uses NAICS 311991, Kentucky geography, and the obligation metric.

What the Kentucky prepared food table omits

The extract has no employment count, no plant list, and no meal inventory. Facts remain $70,030,602.76, 108,363 awards, NAICS 311991, and Kentucky. This page will not invent a ranking against other states' 311991 joins. Defense food-service and civilian nutrition buyers can both sit in the file; the extract does not label them.

Kentucky federal spending and Kentucky industries place 311991 among other codes. NAICS 311991 is the national catalog line. All spending ties indexes other industry-by-state pairs. Mixing those shelves would invent a share of Kentucky food manufacturing the packet never computed. The $70,030,602.76 figure is the tagged pair only.

Where the 311991 x Kentucky overlay lives

Start with Kentucky federal spending for statewide context and NAICS 311991 for the nationwide industry listing. Kentucky industries lists other codes with Kentucky place of performance. All spending ties is the shelf for other NAICS x state pairs on the same obligation metric. One hundred eight thousand three hundred sixty-three awards are tagged rows, not a plants census. Names behind the rows are not in this packet.

Readers who need a different industry or a different state should leave this URL rather than adding numbers by hand. The $70,030,602.76 figure is the tagged NAICS 311991 × Kentucky pair only. USAspending.gov remains the source; SpendingVault republishes the join. Place of performance is a geography tag on awards, not proof that every dollar stayed inside Kentucky after obligation. If a later extract revises the rollup, this page's facts will be stale until the packet is rebuilt. Do not annualize $70,030,602.76 into a per-year run rate: no fiscal year is in the facts.

How to read the Kentucky × NAICS 311991 pair

A ties page exists because two tables meet. One table is the industry code (NAICS 311991). The other is place of performance as Kentucky. The headline $70,030,602.76 is the obligation sum on that intersection. It is not a forecast, not a budget request, and not an outlay. It is also not a claim that NAICS 311991 caused Kentucky's economy to grow, or that Kentucky caused NAICS 311991 awards to exist. Correlation between geography and a catalog code is the join — nothing more.

Use the internal links to step off this pair: the statewide spending shelf, the national industry listing, the state's other industry pages, and the ties index. Each of those pages uses the same obligation metric unless a page says otherwise. If you need award-level names, open the overlay or the stored table rather than treating this narrative as a recipient directory. If you need a different metric — outlays, current-year only, or a different geography — that metric is not in this packet.
