NAICS 238990 and New Mexico as a specialty-trades join
This page intersects one six-digit industry and one state. $140,223,358.53 is the obligation sum where both filters are true. NAICS 238990 is the residual specialty trade contractor code, not plumbing, electrical, or highway construction. It is not a statewide spending total and not a national NAICS 238990 total. Those parent tables live on New Mexico federal spending and NAICS 238990.
410 awards against $140.2 million is a mid-thick residual trades cell rather than a named craft book. 410 is an award-record count. Modifications can sit beside base awards. The packet does not say how many unique vendors produced the 410 lines. Reading 410 as factories, ships, or clinics in New Mexico would confuse actions with establishments.
New Mexico industries lists other NAICS codes with NM place of performance. All spending ties indexes other state–industry pairs. Do not sum those indexes into $140,223,358.53. The headline remains $140,223,358.53 on 410 awards for this pair alone.
Residual specialty trades, not electrical or highway
NAICS 238990 is a Census industry code assigned on the award. NAICS 238990 is the residual specialty trade contractor code, not plumbing, electrical, or highway construction. Electrical contractors (238210) and highway construction (237310) are different codes. Those neighboring codes never enter $140,223,358.53 unless they also appear as 238990, which they do not. Keep the six-digit label when you cite the New Mexico cell.
Lab-construction folklore is ordinary speech, not extra packet dollars. Do not treat 238990 as every New Mexico construction NAICS. Unique contractors are unpublished. Dividing $140,223,358.53 by 410 produces about $342,008. That quotient is arithmetic, not a typical New Mexico 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.
New Mexico geography on a specialty-trades cell
New Mexico place of performance can cover Albuquerque, Las Cruces, or a reporting address near Los Alamos or White Sands. The packet has no site split. Inside the NM tag, named cities are not broken out. The packet has one state key. A named city can sit inside $140,223,358.53 only if its awards carry NAICS 238990 and NM — which this narrative cannot verify.
Place-of-performance geography is not the same as contractor headquarters. A firm based elsewhere can perform in New Mexico, and a New Mexico address can appear on work done out of state. This join reports the coded pair, not a logistics map. New Mexico federal spending remains the statewide parent.
Obligations versus outlays for New Mexico 238990
USAspending obligations are commitments, not checks that have cleared. $140,223,358.53 can include amounts that will be paid later, cancelled, or modified. The packet does not publish outlays. 410 is not a payment count. Quote NAICS 238990 in New Mexico as obligations and leave fiscal-year folklore off the citation — years are unpublished here.
What the specialty-trades–New Mexico pair does not prove
The specialty-trades–New Mexico pair does not prove that New Mexico specialized in this industry because of federal demand, or the reverse. Lab-construction folklore is ordinary speech, not extra packet dollars. Do not treat 238990 as every New Mexico construction NAICS. Unique contractors are unpublished. Campaign-finance tables are a different dataset; donations do not fund these awards. Keep both sides of the join in any headline: NAICS 238990 and New Mexico.
How to cite NAICS 238990 in New Mexico
Cite USAspending.gov, NAICS 238990 (All Other Specialty Trade Contractors), New Mexico (NM), $140,223,358.53, and 410 awards. Note that the figures are obligations. Point readers to New Mexico federal spending, NAICS 238990, New Mexico industries, and All spending ties rather than collapsing those pages into this cell. Mean per award stays about $342,008 as a ratio only. Readers who reuse this state-industry snapshot 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. Keep the obligation word on the headline dollar figure in every footnote.
