NAICS 221122 electric power distribution contract obligations
USAspending.gov records $6.6 billion in federal contract obligations under NAICS 221122, Electric Power Distribution. SpendingVault’s aggregate is $6,636,429,225.14 across 2,707 awards, about $2.5 million per award. The code measures electric power distribution as tagged on contracts, not power-plant construction and not a household utility bill census. Dollars are obligations, not outlays; assistance without NAICS is excluded.
Key figures
- NAICS 221122 electric power distribution shows $6.6 billion obligated.
- 2,707 awards average about $2.5 million in the USAspending extract.
- The code is distribution service, not plant construction or boiler manufacturing.
- Figures are contract obligations, not outlays or kilowatt-hours.
Distribution service, not generation construction
NAICS 221122 is electric power distribution. Contracting officers assign it when the principal purpose is distributing electric power. Building a generating plant, stringing a new transmission line as construction, or manufacturing boilers uses other codes. Power boiler manufacturing (332410) is a manufacturing hub; this $6,636,429,225.14 is the distribution-utility tag.
Two thousand seven hundred seven awards produced a mean of about $2.5 million. Federal sites buy power, pay distribution charges, and sometimes contract for distribution-system work. The packet does not count kilowatt-hours, meters, or substations. Those operational measures are outside the industry aggregate.
Water and sewer line construction (237110) is a construction code for pipes, not this electric-distribution class. The two infrastructure-sounding hubs are not interchangeable.
Energy NAICS codes split distribution service, construction, and equipment manufacturing. Electric power distribution (221122) is the distribution-utility tag at $6,636,429,225.14 on 2,707 awards, about $2.5 million per award. Power boiler manufacturing (332410) is a goods tag. Water and sewer construction (237110) is a civil-construction tag. This $6.6 billion is electric distribution tagged 221122.
Utility-style obligations versus cash paid
Power-distribution contracts can obligate estimated service and pay on monthly invoices, or they can obligate construction-like distribution work and pay on milestones. This packet does not split those types. The $6.6 billion is the obligation total, not kilowatt-hours already consumed.
The 2,707-award count is not a meter count. Multiple facilities can sit inside one award. Dividing dollars by awards is not a residential rate.
Federal sites buy power, pay distribution charges, and sometimes contract for distribution-system work. Utility tariffs paid without a NAICS-tagged contract will not appear here. This hub is the tagged 221122 slice, not every federal electricity payment.
What the distribution tag leaves out
Rural-utility assistance and other energy grants often lack NAICS and do not enter $6,636,429,225.14. Generation, transmission-construction, and boiler-manufacturing NAICS are separate pages.
A mixed energy contract will carry one principal NAICS. Only 221122-tagged actions sit in this total.
How to use the 221122 hub
Read $6.6 billion and 2,707 awards as the electric-distribution contract tag, then open the electric power distribution industry page for award-level fields. Rank utility NAICS on the all-industries index without converting them into a national electricity bill.
This guide does not add kWh because kilowatt-hours are not in the facts object.
Classification limits
Utility tariffs paid without a NAICS-tagged contract will not appear here. SpendingVault reports the tagged 221122 sum, not every federal electricity payment.
Extract updates will move $6,636,429,225.14 and 2,707 with USAspending.
How to keep kWh and plant builds out of the distribution total
No kilowatt-hour field appears in the packet facts, so $2.5 million is not a residential rate and not a cost per kWh. Building a generating plant uses construction or manufacturing NAICS when that is the principal purpose. Those dollars are not automatically in 221122.
Open the electric power distribution industry page for award-level fields. Rank utility NAICS codes on the all-industries index. Cite USAspending.gov. Assistance without NAICS — including many rural-energy grants — stays outside. Obligations remain distinct from outlays on monthly service vehicles.
Electric power distribution at $6,636,429,225.14 on 2,707 awards is a utility-service tag. The mean of about $2.5 million is not a residential rate and not a cost per kilowatt-hour. kWh are not in the packet facts.
Boiler manufacturing and water-and-sewer construction are different classes. Utility tariffs paid without a NAICS-tagged contract will not appear here. Open the electric power distribution industry page for award-level fields. Cite USAspending.gov. Rural-energy grants often lack NAICS and stay outside the $6.6 billion.
Two thousand seven hundred seven distribution awards at $6,636,429,225.14 are tagged utility-service contracts, not a national electricity bill. Kilowatt-hours are not in the facts. Plant construction and boiler manufacturing are other classes. Tariffs paid without a NAICS-tagged contract never appear here. Open the electric power distribution industry page. Cite USAspending.gov. Rural-energy assistance often omits NAICS.
The 2,707-award count is the thickness of this distribution book; $6,636,429,225.14 is the scale. Neither figure is a household utility rate. Keep manufacturing and civil-construction NAICS on their own hubs when the question leaves 221122. Those two packet facts — 2,707 awards and $6.6 billion obligated — are the whole quantitative claim this guide is allowed to make.
Questions
- How much is obligated under NAICS 221122?
- Electric power distribution contracts in USAspending show $6,636,429,225.14 in obligations across 2,707 awards. That is a distribution-service tag, not power-plant construction and not boiler manufacturing. The figure is obligations, not outlays. Assistance without NAICS is excluded. Open the industry page for award rows behind $6,636,429,225.14 and the count of 2,707.
- What is the average 221122 award?
- Dividing $6,636,429,225.14 by 2,707 awards yields about $2.5 million. That mean is not a residential electricity rate and not a cost per kilowatt-hour. Service vehicles and distribution-system work share the average. The packet does not publish kWh or a median.
- Does this include building power plants?
- Only if the officer tagged plant construction as 221122, which would be an unusual principal-purpose choice. Construction and manufacturing NAICS codes measure those buys. This $6.6 billion is the electric power distribution tag. Use construction and manufacturing hubs for those totals.
- Are rural energy grants in this total?
- Usually no. Assistance awards often omit NAICS and therefore do not enter $6.6 billion. This aggregate is built from contract awards tagged 221122. Program pages are the better surface for grant-funded energy work. Program pages remain the better surface for grant-funded energy work that never received NAICS 221122.
