Commercial And Institutional Building Construction federal obligations in Alabama

What NAICS 236220 and Alabama share on one row

NAICS 236220 and place-of-performance state AL meet here. $5,123,375,553 is the obligation sum on awards that carry both tags. It is not every federal award in Alabama, not the nationwide Commercial And Institutional Building Construction total, and not cash already paid. Huntsville campus and statewide federal-construction folklore may send a reader here. Those stories are not a jobsite list and not a square-footage census.

958 award actions sit behind that dollar figure — hundreds of award actions behind a multi-billion obligation total. A moderate row list can still mix large campus awards with smaller instruments. The join does not rank Alabama against other states and does not name jobsites inside the extract.

Open Alabama federal spending for the filtered table, NAICS 236220 for the next hub, Alabama industries for the remaining hub, and All spending ties for other pairs.

Building-construction actions under an Alabama geography tag

Dividing $5,123,375,553 by 958 yields about $5,347,991 per award on average. That average hides contracts, grants, and other instruments. It is not a typical federal-building contract. Repeat awards and modifications still add rows; the listed count is not a unique-contractor census. Project names belong on the overlay if they appear as recipients; they are not extra packet dollars.

Huntsville campus and statewide federal-construction 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.

NAICS 236220 without an Alabama overlay is a different total

The NAICS 236220 page aggregates NAICS 236220 without requiring AL geography. The Alabama federal spending page aggregates all agencies and industries with Alabama place of performance. Alabama industries lists other industry cells in the same state. Only this tie applies both the 236220 filter and the AL filter, which is why it cites 958 awards and $5,123,375,553.

Place of performance in Alabama is a USAspending geography field. Awards can list AL while later work occurs in Georgia or Tennessee. 236220 awards coded to those states do not sit in this total even if the contractor’s mailroom is in Huntsville. This packet does not split Huntsville from Birmingham or Mobile.

Obligations, not outlays

An obligation is a legal commitment. An outlay is a payment. $5,123,375,553 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 Alabama over-reads the field.

Award count 958 is a record count, not a payment count. Readers who need transaction-level detail should use Alabama federal spending, NAICS 236220, and Alabama industries. All spending ties does not hide a blended statewide total under this slug.

What this pair does not prove

A large 236220 total in Alabama does not mean builders caused Alabama’s construction mix, and it does not connect these obligations to campaign contributions. Correlation between federal campuses and building awards is expected; it is not a finding about cost overruns or waste.

Keep $5,123,375,553 labeled as NAICS 236220 obligations with Alabama place of performance. FEC individual contributions are a different dataset. An industry name that appears near a donor occupation is a coincidence of labeling, not a cash pipeline into USAspending.

How to cite the Alabama–236220 pair

A clean footnote names NAICS 236220 (Commercial And Institutional Building Construction), Alabama place of performance, $5,123,375,553 in obligations, and 958 awards on USAspending.gov. Keep the obligation word. Do not call $5,123,375,553 cash outlays. Mean dollars per action remain about $5,347,991 if you divide those two facts — a ratio, not a typical federal-building contract.

Alabama federal spending, NAICS 236220, Alabama industries, and All spending ties keep the same unit. A later ingest can restate $5,123,375,553 without changing the join definition. Rewrite only the sentence whose source moved. Huntsville-versus-Birmingham folklore is not a metro split in this packet. Jobsite names belong on the overlay if they appear as recipients; they are not extra packet dollars. Keep the obligation label in every reuse. Correlation is not causation.
