NAICS 236220 and Kentucky as a building join
This page intersects one six-digit industry and one state. $395,398,785.84 is the obligation sum where both filters are true. NAICS 236220 is commercial and institutional building construction, not highway construction and not residential builders. Minnesota 236220 is a different state join. It is not a statewide spending total and not a national NAICS 236220 total. Those parent tables live on Kentucky federal spending and NAICS 236220.
515 awards against $395.4 million is a moderate construction book rather than a high-volume wholesale flood. 515 is an award-record count. Modifications can sit beside base awards. The packet does not say how many unique vendors produced the 515 lines. Reading 515 as factories, ships, or clinics in Kentucky would confuse actions with establishments.
Kentucky industries lists other NAICS codes with KY place of performance. All spending ties indexes other state–industry pairs. Do not sum those indexes into $395,398,785.84. The headline remains $395,398,785.84 on 515 awards for this pair alone.
Buildings, not highways
NAICS 236220 is a Census industry code assigned on the award. NAICS 236220 is commercial and institutional building construction, not highway construction and not residential builders. Minnesota 236220 is a different state join. Highway construction (237310) and other building equipment contractors (238290) are different codes. Those neighboring codes never enter $395,398,785.84 unless they also appear as 236220, which they do not. Keep the six-digit label when you cite the Kentucky cell.
Installation folklore is easy to paste onto a Kentucky building code. This packet does not name projects or primes. Dividing $395,398,785.84 by 515 produces about $767,765. That quotient is arithmetic, not a typical Kentucky 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.
Kentucky geography on a 236220 cell
Kentucky place of performance can cover Louisville, Lexington, or a reporting address. The packet has no project list. Inside the KY tag, Louisville, Lexington, or a named federal campus are not broken out. The packet has one state key. A named city can sit inside $395,398,785.84 only if its awards carry NAICS 236220 and KY — which this narrative cannot verify.
Place-of-performance geography is not the same as contractor headquarters. A firm based elsewhere can perform in Kentucky, and a Kentucky address can appear on work done out of state. This join reports the coded pair, not a logistics map. Kentucky federal spending remains the statewide parent.
Obligations versus outlays for Kentucky 236220
USAspending obligations are commitments, not checks that have cleared. $395,398,785.84 can include amounts that will be paid later, cancelled, or modified. The packet does not publish outlays. 515 is not a payment count. Quote NAICS 236220 in Kentucky as obligations and leave fiscal-year folklore off the citation — years are unpublished here.
What the building–Kentucky pair does not prove
The building construction–Kentucky pair does not prove that Kentucky specialized in this industry because of federal demand, or the reverse. Installation folklore is easy to paste onto a Kentucky building code. This packet does not name projects or primes. Campaign-finance tables are a different dataset; donations do not fund these awards. Keep both sides of the join in any headline: NAICS 236220 and Kentucky.
