Perishable Prepared Food Manufacturing in Washington (NAICS 311991)

Washington and perishable prepared food as a pair

NAICS 311991 and place-of-performance state WA meet on this tie. $61,356,698.98 is the obligation sum on awards that carry both tags. It is not Washington's statewide federal total, not the nationwide perishable prepared food manufacturing rollup, and not cash already paid. USAspending labels the industry Perishable Prepared Food Manufacturing; this overlay applies that code only where Washington is the geography field.

62,698 is an award-action count. Modifications, delivery orders, and repeat vehicles add rows. Unique vendors are not published in this packet. Reading 62,698 as plants, offices, or payrolls in Washington would confuse actions with establishments. The join does not rank Washington against other states and does not assign a fiscal year; none is in the facts.

Open Washington federal spending for the state rollup, NAICS 311991 for the industry hub, Washington industries for other NAICS in the same geography, and All spending ties for other pairs. Do not add those parent pages into $61,356,698.98.

NAICS 311991 versus Washington's 311999 food residual

USAspending labels NAICS 311991 as Perishable Prepared Food Manufacturing. The packet does not name menus, kitchens, or primes. Washington's other food overlay on this slice is NAICS 311999 (All Other Miscellaneous Food Manufacturing) at $51,539,969.84 across 3,608 awards. Sharing a food prefix does not merge 311999 into $61,356,698.98.

Deep-sea freight transportation (NAICS 483111) also appears with Washington on this slice at $51,601,112.44 across 180 awards. That is a transportation code, not a food code. Keep 311991 on the perishable-prepared-food cell. Award titles on the NAICS 311991 hub are the place to see what a given line bought.

Place of performance in Washington

Washington on this join is a geography field, not a Seattle-only overlay. Place of performance can list WA while later work occurs in Oregon or Idaho; those states are not inside this total unless also coded WA. The packet does not split counties.

A 62,698-row extract can look like a statewide cafeteria census. It is not. The state hub for Washington shows how 311991 sits beside other industries with WA place of performance. Awards can list Washington while headquarters sit elsewhere.

62,698 awards and a small mean

Dividing $61,356,698.98 by 62,698 yields about $979 per award on average. Catalog lines and modifications can mint tens of thousands of rows. Award count 62,698 is a record count, not a payment count and not a unique-vendor census.

An obligation is a legal commitment. $61,356,698.98 is that kind of sum. This packet has no outlay total and no fiscal-year split. Citing the figure as cash already spent in Washington over-reads the field.

What the perishable-food–Washington join does not prove

A high-row perishable-food cell is not proof of a single Washington kitchen operator and not a ranking of states as food-manufacturing specialists. FEC filings and USAspending awards are different datasets. Keep $61,356,698.98 labeled as NAICS 311991 obligations with Washington place of performance. Correlation is not causation.

A later ingest can restate $61,356,698.98 or the 62,698 count without changing the join key of NAICS 311991 and WA. Place of performance remains a geography tag, not proof that work stayed inside Washington. Keep the obligation word on $61,356,698.98 in every footnote.
