Perishable prepared food manufacturing in New Jersey (NAICS 311991)

Two hundred thirteen thousand perishable-food award lines sit under one New Jersey tag. 213,842 USAspending.gov awards coded to Perishable Prepared Food Manufacturing (NAICS 311991) and New Jersey place of performance carry $152,328,206.94 in federal obligations. 213,842 awards against $152.3 million is an extremely high-volume cell: many small actions stacking, not a handful of blockbuster contracts. Mean obligation per award is about $712. The join is NAICS 311991 plus New Jersey, not a commissary census, a residual 311999 total, or an outlay.

Key figures

  • NAICS 311991 in New Jersey: $152,328,206.94 across 213,842 USAspending awards.
  • Implied mean about $712 per award, not a typical invoice.
  • 311991 is not the residual miscellaneous food code 311999.
  • Cite obligations from USAspending.gov; keep both sides of the join.

NAICS 311991 and New Jersey as a perishable-food join

This page intersects one six-digit industry and one state. $152,328,206.94 is the obligation sum where both filters are true. NAICS 311991 is perishable prepared food manufacturing, not the residual miscellaneous food code. It is not a statewide spending total and not a national NAICS 311991 total. Those parent tables live on New Jersey federal spending and NAICS 311991.

213,842 awards against $152.3 million is an extremely high-volume cell: many small actions stacking, not a handful of blockbuster contracts. 213,842 is an award-record count. Modifications can sit beside base awards. The packet does not say how many unique vendors produced the 213,842 lines. Reading 213,842 as factories, ships, or clinics in New Jersey would confuse actions with establishments.

New Jersey industries lists other NAICS codes with NJ place of performance. All spending ties indexes other state–industry pairs. Do not sum those indexes into $152,328,206.94. The headline remains $152,328,206.94 on 213,842 awards for this pair alone.

Perishable prepared food, not residual misc food

NAICS 311991 is a Census industry code assigned on the award. NAICS 311991 is perishable prepared food manufacturing, not the residual miscellaneous food code. All other miscellaneous food manufacturing (311999) is a different food-manufacturing join. Those neighboring codes never enter $152,328,206.94 unless they also appear as 311991, which they do not. Keep the six-digit label when you cite the New Jersey cell.

A 213,842-line book often mixes delivery orders and modifications. Do not merge 311991 into 311999. Unique contractors are unpublished. Dividing $152,328,206.94 by 213,842 produces about $712. That quotient is arithmetic, not a typical New Jersey contract. There is no median, no top-award table, and no fiscal-year breakout on this packet. Do not treat the mean as a posted unit price.

New Jersey geography on a perishable-food cell

New Jersey place of performance can cover North Jersey kitchens, South Jersey plants, or a reporting address near the ports. The packet has no site split. Inside the NJ tag, named cities are not broken out. The packet has one state key. A named city can sit inside $152,328,206.94 only if its awards carry NAICS 311991 and NJ — which this narrative cannot verify.

Place-of-performance geography is not the same as contractor headquarters. A firm based elsewhere can perform in New Jersey, and a New Jersey address can appear on work done out of state. This join reports the coded pair, not a logistics map. New Jersey federal spending remains the statewide parent.

Obligations versus outlays for New Jersey 311991

USAspending obligations are commitments, not checks that have cleared. $152,328,206.94 can include amounts that will be paid later, cancelled, or modified. The packet does not publish outlays. 213,842 is not a payment count. Quote NAICS 311991 in New Jersey as obligations and leave fiscal-year folklore off the citation — years are unpublished here.

What the perishable-food–New Jersey pair does not prove

The perishable-food–New Jersey pair does not prove that New Jersey specialized in this industry because of federal demand, or the reverse. A 213,842-line book often mixes delivery orders and modifications. Do not merge 311991 into 311999. Unique contractors are unpublished. Campaign-finance tables are a different dataset; donations do not fund these awards. Keep both sides of the join in any headline: NAICS 311991 and New Jersey.

How to cite NAICS 311991 in New Jersey

Cite USAspending.gov, NAICS 311991 (Perishable Prepared Food Manufacturing), New Jersey (NJ), $152,328,206.94, and 213,842 awards. Note that the figures are obligations. Point readers to New Jersey federal spending, NAICS 311991, New Jersey industries, and All spending ties rather than collapsing those pages into this cell. Mean per award stays about $712 as a ratio only. Readers who reuse this state-industry snapshot 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. Keep the obligation word on the headline dollar figure in every footnote.
