Commercial And Institutional Building Construction federal obligations in New Jersey

Building construction and New Jersey as a pair

Commercial And Institutional Building Construction as the NAICS industry, New Jersey as place of performance: 1,127 records summing to $480,157,655.44. An award in this industry coded outside NJ is out. An award in New Jersey from a different NAICS is out even if the work sounds related. New Jersey (NJ) excludes New York, Pennsylvania, and Delaware. An award coded to a neighboring state is out even if the contractor sits in New Jersey. New Jersey place-of-performance is a statewide tag, not Newark, Trenton, or a named port.

1,127 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 Unique recipients are unpublished.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 1,127 as 1,127 unique firms. The overlay path for this pair is the ties page for commercial building construction in New Jersey. New Jersey federal spending is the all-industry state hub. NAICS 236220 is the industry book without a NJ filter. New Jersey industries lists other NAICS cells inside the state. All spending ties lists other joins.

The implied mean is about $426,049 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: New Jersey did not “cause” $480,157,655.44 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 × NJ only.

What NAICS 236220 is not counting

$480,157,655.44 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 NJ place-of-performance tag.

Do not treat 1,127 awards as a census of buildings delivered. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If New Jersey federal spending or the national NAICS 236220 table matched $480,157,655.44 and 1,127, 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.

New Jersey statewide, not a local map

Place of performance NJ is a geography tag on the award, not a metro list and not a commuting zone. New Jersey (NJ) excludes New York, Pennsylvania, and Delaware. An award coded to a neighboring state is out even if the contractor sits in New Jersey. Recipient headquarters can sit in another state while the place-of-performance tag remains NJ. Contractor address is not this filter.

New Jersey place-of-performance is a statewide tag, not Newark, Trenton, or a named port. This packet does not split $480,157,655.44 by city, county, installation, or named facility. 1,127 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. $480,157,655.44 can include amounts that pay on a later schedule. Citing it as cash already sent in New Jersey confuses two concepts. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total.

New Jersey’s own budget is a different ledger. Mixing it with the 1,127-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 $480,157,655.44. Campaign-finance filings are a different dataset; this page does not treat donations as funding these awards.

Citing Building construction in New Jersey

Cite USAspending.gov: Commercial And Institutional Building Construction (NAICS 236220) obligated $480,157,655.44 on 1,127 awards coded to New Jersey. 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 New Jersey if a live overlay has refreshed after an ingest. New Jersey federal spending still includes every other NAICS tagged to NJ. NAICS 236220 is the industry parent without the NJ filter. New Jersey industries is the state’s industry index. All spending ties indexes other pairs. Do not add those parents into $480,157,655.44.

A usable footnote names Commercial And Institutional Building Construction, New Jersey, NAICS 236220, $480,157,655.44, and 1,127. The compact headline $480M is that same dollar total rounded. It is not a second extract. The implied mean near $426,049 is $480,157,655.44 divided by 1,127. Means are not medians. USAspending.gov remains the originating system.
