NAICS 332994 and Arizona as an ordnance join
This page intersects one six-digit industry and one state. $71,494,890.66 is the obligation sum where both filters are true. NAICS 332994 is small arms, ordnance, and ordnance accessories manufacturing, not optical instruments and not commercial bakeries. It is not a statewide spending total and not a national NAICS 332994 total. Those parent tables live on /states/az/ and /industries/332994/.
358 awards against about $71.5 million is a mid-size ordnance cell, not a catalog of tiny hardware lines. 358 is an award-record count. Modifications can sit beside base awards. The packet does not say how many unique vendors produced the 358 lines. Reading 358 as factories, ships, or clinics in Arizona would confuse actions with establishments.
Arizona industries (/states/az/industries/) lists other NAICS codes with AZ place of performance. All spending ties (/ties/) indexes other state–industry pairs. Do not sum those indexes into $71,494,890.66. The headline remains $71,494,890.66 on 358 awards for this pair alone.
Small arms and ordnance, not optical instruments
NAICS 332994 is a Census industry code assigned on the award. NAICS 332994 is small arms, ordnance, and ordnance accessories manufacturing, not optical instruments and not commercial bakeries. Optical-instrument manufacturing and commercial bakeries are different industry pages. Those neighboring codes never enter $71,494,890.66 unless they also appear as 332994, which they do not. Keep the six-digit label when you cite the Arizona cell.
Small-arms manufacturing is not residual management consulting. This extract does not name weapons, plants, or primes. Dividing $71,494,890.66 by 358 produces about $199,706. That quotient is arithmetic, not a typical Arizona 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.
Arizona geography on a 332994 cell
Arizona place of performance can cover Phoenix, Tucson, Yuma, or a reporting address. The packet has no installation split. Inside the AZ tag, Phoenix, Tucson, or a named ordnance plant are not broken out. The packet has one state key. A named city can sit inside $71,494,890.66 only if its awards carry NAICS 332994 and AZ — which this narrative cannot verify.
Place-of-performance geography is not the same as contractor headquarters. A firm based elsewhere can perform in Arizona, and a Arizona address can appear on work done out of state. This join reports the coded pair, not a logistics map. /states/az/ remains the statewide parent.
Obligations versus outlays for Arizona 332994
USAspending obligations are commitments, not checks that have cleared. $71,494,890.66 can include amounts that will be paid later, cancelled, or modified. The packet does not publish outlays. 358 is not a payment count. Quote NAICS 332994 in Arizona as obligations and leave fiscal-year folklore off the citation — years are unpublished here.
What the ordnance–Arizona pair does not prove
The small arms and ordnance–Arizona pair does not prove that Arizona specialized in this industry because of federal demand, or the reverse. Small-arms manufacturing is not residual management consulting. This extract does not name weapons, plants, or primes. Campaign-finance tables are a different dataset; donations do not fund these awards. Keep both sides of the join in any headline: NAICS 332994 and Arizona.
How to cite NAICS 332994 in Arizona
Cite USAspending.gov, NAICS 332994 (Small Arms, Ordnance, And Ordnance Accessories Manufacturing), Arizona (AZ), $71,494,890.66, and 358 awards. Note that the figures are obligations. Point readers to /states/az/, /industries/332994/, /states/az/industries/, and /ties/ rather than collapsing those pages into this cell. Mean per award stays about $199,706 as a ratio only. Readers who reuse AZ small arms & ordnance (332994) | $71.5M 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.
