Commercial And Institutional Building Construction federal obligations in Montana

What NAICS 236220 and Montana share on one row

NAICS 236220 and place-of-performance state MT meet here. $3,156,914,235 is the obligation sum on awards that carry both tags. It is not every federal award in Montana, not the nationwide Commercial And Institutional Building Construction total, and not cash already paid. Statewide federal-campus and institutional-construction folklore may send a reader here. Those stories are not a jobsite list and not a square-footage census.

162 award actions sit behind that dollar figure — a short award list beside a multi-billion obligation total. A few large awards can dominate a dollar total even when the row count looks modest. The join does not rank Montana against other states and does not name jobsites inside the extract.

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

A short building-construction award list under one Montana filter

Dividing $3,156,914,235 by 162 yields about $19,487,125 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.

Statewide federal-campus and institutional-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 a Montana overlay is a different total

The NAICS 236220 page aggregates NAICS 236220 without requiring MT geography. The Montana federal spending page aggregates all agencies and industries with Montana place of performance. Montana industries lists other industry cells in the same state. Only this tie applies both the 236220 filter and the MT filter, which is why it cites 162 awards and $3,156,914,235.

Place of performance in Montana is a USAspending geography field. Awards can list MT while later work occurs in Idaho or Wyoming. 236220 awards coded to those states do not sit in this total even if the contractor’s mailroom is in Billings. This packet does not split Billings from Missoula or Helena.

Obligations, not outlays

An obligation is a legal commitment. An outlay is a payment. $3,156,914,235 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 Montana over-reads the field.

Award count 162 is a record count, not a payment count. Readers who need transaction-level detail should use Montana federal spending, NAICS 236220, and Montana 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 Montana does not mean builders caused Montana’s construction mix, and it does not connect these obligations to campaign contributions. Correlation between federal facilities and building awards is expected; it is not a finding about cost overruns or waste.

Keep $3,156,914,235 labeled as NAICS 236220 obligations with Montana 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 Montana–236220 pair

A clean footnote names NAICS 236220 (Commercial And Institutional Building Construction), Montana place of performance, $3,156,914,235 in obligations, and 162 awards on USAspending.gov. Keep the obligation word. Do not call $3,156,914,235 cash outlays. Mean dollars per action remain about $19,487,125 if you divide those two facts — a ratio, not a typical federal-building contract.

Montana federal spending, NAICS 236220, Montana industries, and All spending ties keep the same unit. A later ingest can restate $3,156,914,235 without changing the join definition. Rewrite only the sentence whose source moved. Billings-versus-Missoula folklore is not a metro split in this packet. A short award list is still a record count, including modifications. Keep the obligation label in every reuse. Correlation is not causation.

Do not treat a a short award list beside a multi-billion obligation total as a unique-firm census. Unique recipients are not published here. Keep NAICS 236220 and MT as the join key even if a later USAspending ingest restates $3,156,914,235. Those stories are not a jobsite list and not a square-footage census.
