Stationery product manufacturing federal obligations in Montana (NAICS 322230)

NAICS 322230 dollars tagged to Montana

NAICS 322230 is stationery product manufacturing, not paper mills and not office supplies merchant wholesale. The dollar figure $40,021,724.18 applies only where the industry code and the MT geography are both present. Montana federal spending is larger because it includes other NAICS. NAICS 322230 is larger because it includes other states. This tie is the intersection.

71,611 actions produced the Montana book. 71,611 awards against $40.0 million is a high-volume paper cell: many actions, not a handful of blockbuster mill contracts. Award rows are not the same as establishments in the Economic Census. A single vendor can hold several of the 71,611 records. The packet does not identify vendors.

Readers comparing codes should open Montana industries rather than inferring rank from this one cell. All spending ties collects other intersections. NAICS 322230 without the Montana filter is a different total. None of those pages should be added into $40,021,724.18.

Stationery products, not paper mills

Paper mills (322120) and office supplies merchant wholesalers (424120) are different industry pages. Residual or neighboring codes are easy to merge in speech and wrong to merge in this table. NAICS 322230 is stationery product manufacturing, not paper mills and not office supplies merchant wholesale. $40,021,724.18 stays inside 322230 × MT only.

The implied mean of about $559 is $40,021,724.18 / 71,611. A 71,611-line book often mixes delivery orders. This extract does not name SKUs, primes, or plants. There is no distribution in the packet: no p50, no largest award, no fiscal year. A high mean can be one vehicle; a low mean can be many delivery orders. This extract cannot tell those stories apart.

Montana geography on a 322230 cell

Montana place of performance can cover Billings, Missoula, Great Falls, or a reporting address. The packet has no plant split. Billings, Missoula, or a named mill are ordinary place names, not columns. The only geography key is MT. Splitting $40,021,724.18 across those names would be invention.

USAspending place of performance is a reporting field. It can diverge from where parts were made, where patients were seen, or where a ship was docked. This page repeats the coded Montana tag. It does not audit the field. Montana federal spending uses the same geography convention across industries.

Obligations, not outlays, on Montana 322230

Obligations are not outlays. $40,021,724.18 is the commitment aggregate for this pair. Later modifications can raise or lower what is eventually paid. The packet does not report outlays or a fiscal-year series. Quote 71,611 as award records. Do not call $40,021,724.18 ‘spent in Montana this year’ — no year is published here.

What the stationery–Montana pair does not prove

A 71,611-line book often mixes delivery orders. This extract does not name SKUs, primes, or plants. Federal awards in one NAICS do not explain Montana employment, and itemized campaign gifts do not pay USAspending obligations. Different statutes, different tables. Cite NAICS 322230 and Montana together so the join stays visible. Montana industries and All spending ties are the related indexes.
