Small Arms Ammunition Manufacturing federal obligations in Missouri

What NAICS 332992 and Missouri share on one row

NAICS 332992 and place-of-performance state MO meet here. $516,806,940.30 is the obligation sum on awards that carry both tags. It is not every federal award in Missouri, not the nationwide Small Arms Ammunition Manufacturing total, and not cash already paid. Missouri cartridge-plant folklore and statewide small-arms ammunition manufacturing stories may send a reader here. Those stories are not a plant list and not a ammunition actions census. NAICS 332992 is small-arms ammunition manufacturing, not ammunition except small arms (332993) and not small-arms manufacturing (332994).

29 award actions sit behind that dollar figure — a short list beside $516,806,940.30. A shorter row list can still hold a large dollar total if a few awards dominate. The join does not rank Missouri against other states and does not name vendors, facilities, or ammunition actions inside the extract. Unique recipients are unpublished on this page.

Open Missouri federal spending for the statewide table, NAICS 332992 for the industry hub without a Missouri filter, Missouri industries for other Missouri industry cells, and All spending ties for other pairs. Do not add those parent pages into $516,806,940.30.

A short small-arms-ammo list under a Missouri tag

Dividing $516,806,940.30 by 29 yields about $17,820,929 per award on average. That average hides contracts, grants, and other instruments. It is not a typical ammo lot. A second 332992 slice on another state uses the same NAICS code and a different dollar total. Do not treat Missouri's 332992 total as a synonym for every federal small-arms ammunition purchase. Missouri cartridge-plant folklore is a coding conversation, not a packet field.

Recipient rows live on the industry and state hubs, not in this narrative's extra columns. 29 is an award-record count, including modifications, not a count of ammunition actions and not a unique-firm census. Keep 332992 and MO as the join key even when a later USAspending ingest restates $516,806,940.30.

NAICS 332992 without a Missouri overlay is a different total

The NAICS 332992 page aggregates NAICS 332992 without requiring MO geography. The Missouri federal spending page aggregates all agencies and industries with Missouri place of performance. Missouri industries lists other industry cells in the same state. Only this tie applies both the 332992 filter and the MO filter, which is why it cites 29 awards and $516,806,940.30.

Place of performance in Missouri is a USAspending geography field. Awards can list MO while work occurs in Kansas or Illinois. 332992 awards coded to those states do not sit in this total even if a vendor's mailroom is in St. Louis. This packet does not split St. Louis, Independence, or Springfield. Place of performance is a tag, not proof that every ammunition action stayed inside Missouri.

Obligations, not outlays

An obligation is a legal commitment. An outlay is a payment. $516,806,940.30 is the former. This packet has no outlay total, no fiscal-year split, and no de-obligation history. Citing the figure as money already spent in Missouri over-reads the field. Award count 29 is a record count, not a payment count.

Readers who need transaction-level detail should use Missouri federal spending, NAICS 332992, and Missouri industries. All spending ties does not hide a blended statewide total under this slug. Keep the obligation label on $516,806,940.30 in every reuse.

What this Missouri–332992 pair does not prove

A small-arms ammunition manufacturing total in Missouri does not mean the industry caused Missouri's industrial mix, and it does not connect these obligations to campaign contributions. Correlation between plant geography and small-arms ammunition awards is expected; it is not a finding about readiness, waste, or local employment. FEC individual contributions are a different dataset.

Keep $516,806,940.30 labeled as NAICS 332992 obligations with Missouri place of performance. An industry name that appears near a donor occupation is a coincidence of labeling, not a cash pipeline into USAspending. Missouri federal spending still includes other NAICS codes that must not be folded into this cell.

A later ingest can restate $516,806,940.30 without changing the join of 332992 and MO. Rewrite only the sentence whose source moved. St. Louis-versus-Independence folklore is not a metro split in this packet. Do not treat 29 as a unique-firm census. Unique recipients are not published here.
