Commercial And Institutional Building Construction federal obligations in Colorado

Building construction and Colorado as a pair

Commercial And Institutional Building Construction as the NAICS industry, Colorado as place of performance: 854 records summing to $830,499,640.85. An award in this industry coded outside CO is out. An award in Colorado from a different NAICS is out even if the work sounds related. Colorado (CO) excludes Wyoming, Utah, New Mexico, Kansas, Nebraska, and Oklahoma. An award coded to a neighboring state is out even if the contractor sits in Colorado. Colorado place-of-performance is a statewide tag, not Denver, Colorado Springs, or a named installation.

854 awards is a mid-count industry cell. Modifications and repeat instruments add rows without each one being a new establishment. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not read 854 as 854 unique firms. The overlay path for this pair is the ties page for commercial building construction in Colorado. Colorado federal spending is the all-industry state hub. NAICS 236220 is the industry book without a CO filter. Colorado industries lists other NAICS cells inside the state. All spending ties lists other joins.

The implied mean is about $972,482 per award — a quotient of two packet facts, not a typical project. Dollars and row counts tell different stories on the same join. Correlation is not causation: Colorado did not “cause” $830,499,640.85 by existing as a large or small place, and NAICS 236220 did not “cause” the geography tag. Population, employment, and outcome scores are not packet facts. The join is 236220 × CO only.

What NAICS 236220 is not counting

$830,499,640.85 does not measure completed buildings, school campuses, or hospital wings placed in service. Those series are not USAspending fields on this aggregate. NAICS 236220 covers commercial and institutional building construction: nonresidential structures such as offices, schools, hospitals, warehouses, and other institutional buildings as coded on the award. It is not residential homebuilding, not highway work, and not a census of buildings opened. The cell sums award obligations with NAICS 236220 and a CO place-of-performance tag.

Do not treat 854 awards as a census of buildings delivered. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If Colorado federal spending or the national NAICS 236220 table matched $830,499,640.85 and 854, the join would be pointless. Use the ties page when both keys must stay on. Neighboring-state cells for the same NAICS are other pairs, not addends.

Colorado statewide, not a local map

Place of performance CO is a geography tag on the award, not a metro list and not a commuting zone. Colorado (CO) excludes Wyoming, Utah, New Mexico, Kansas, Nebraska, and Oklahoma. An award coded to a neighboring state is out even if the contractor sits in Colorado. Recipient headquarters can sit in another state while the place-of-performance tag remains CO. Contractor address is not this filter.

Colorado place-of-performance is a statewide tag, not Denver, Colorado Springs, or a named installation. This packet does not split $830,499,640.85 by city, county, installation, or named facility. 854 awards stay statewide. A county table would be a different extract. Do not infer a regional ranking from a single state×industry cell.

Obligations still are not outlays

Even a thick or thin file records obligations, not necessarily outlays. $830,499,640.85 can include amounts that pay on a later schedule. Citing it as cash already sent in Colorado confuses two concepts. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total.

Colorado’s own budget is a different ledger. Mixing it with the 854-award USAspending file leaves this series. No fiscal year is published in this packet, so this page does not invent one. Keep the obligation label on $830,499,640.85. Campaign-finance filings are a different dataset; this page does not treat donations as funding these awards.

Citing Building construction in Colorado

Cite USAspending.gov: Commercial And Institutional Building Construction (NAICS 236220) obligated $830,499,640.85 on 854 awards coded to Colorado. Name both sides. Keep “obligations.” Do not relabel the total as completed buildings, school campuses, or hospital wings placed in service.

Prefer the ties page for commercial building construction in Colorado if a live overlay has refreshed after an ingest. Colorado federal spending still includes every other NAICS tagged to CO. NAICS 236220 is the industry parent without the CO filter. Colorado industries is the state’s industry index. All spending ties indexes other pairs. Do not add those parents into $830,499,640.85.

A usable footnote names Commercial And Institutional Building Construction, Colorado, NAICS 236220, $830,499,640.85, and 854. The compact headline $830M is that same dollar total rounded. It is not a second extract. The implied mean near $972,482 is $830,499,640.85 divided by 854. Means are not medians. USAspending.gov remains the originating system.
