Building Construction (NAICS 236220) in Virginia 3rd District (VA-03)
Place-of-performance VA-03 crossed with Commercial And Institutional Building Construction (NAICS 236220) yields $1,770,503,428.53 in USAspending.gov obligations on 289 awards. Two hundred eighty-nine commercial-and-institutional building awards equal about two percent of Virginia 3rd District's huge district book — a moderate 236220 file against a very large parent. That pair is Commercial And Institutional Building Construction and Virginia 3rd District (VA-03) — not Virginia's entire federal inflow, not Commercial And Institutional Building Construction nationwide, and not cash already paid. The cell is 1.9% of this district's published obligation total ($91,489,301,996.56). Implied average obligation is about $6,126,309.44 ($1,770,503,428.53 ÷ 289). Correlation is not causation.

The Virginia 3rd District (VA-03) filter on Building Construction
NAICS 236220 and congressional district VA-03 meet here. $1,770,503,428.53 is the USAspending.gov obligation sum on awards that carry both tags. It is not Commercial And Institutional Building Construction's nationwide total, not every federal dollar coded to Virginia 3rd District (VA-03), and not an outlay register. The packet does not split commercial from institutional 236220 work, and it does not split contract versus assistance. 289 is an action count: modifications and repeat awards add rows. Unique recipients are unpublished. This cell is not a building-permit census, a named-project roster, or a square-foot ledger.
Dividing $1,770,503,428.53 by 289 yields about $6,126,309.44 per award on average. That ratio is two packet facts. It is not a typical contract, grant, or benefit line. 289 awards is a moderate construction file, close to Hawaii 1st's 297 and thicker than Florida 2nd's 120. Matching counts are not a shared project list. Do not treat VA-03's 236220 cell as a synonym for every Building Construction account nationwide. Open Virginia 3rd District for the district table without this industry filter, NAICS 236220 for NAICS 236220 without a VA-03 filter, Virginia federal spending for every industry in the Virginia extract, and All spending ties for the rest of the join list. Quote those hubs as parents, not as addends to $1,770,503,428.53.
The Commercial And Institutional Building Construction industry rollup
USAspending labels industry 236220 as Commercial And Institutional Building Construction. That code produced $1,770,503,428.53 when crossed with Virginia 3rd District (VA-03) place of performance. The industry-wide 236220 hub does not require VA-03 geography. The district hub does not require Building Construction. Only this tie applies both filters, which is why it cites 289 awards. The packet does not split commercial from institutional 236220 work, and it does not split contract versus assistance.
Correlation is not causation: Virginia 3rd District (VA-03) did not cause $1,770,503,428.53 by existing as a large or small place. Population, outcome scores, and named facilities are not packet facts. The join is 236220 × VA-03 only. This cell is not a building-permit census, a named-project roster, or a square-foot ledger. Do not invent contractors or award recipients to fill the gap. Campaign donations on FEC tables do not fund this USAspending cell; the datasets are separate.
Reading the VA-03 stamp
Virginia 3rd District (VA-03) on this join is a USAspending geography field, not a claim that every dollar was disbursed to residents of that district. Awards can list VA-03 while later work occurs elsewhere. Awards tagged to other Virginia districts belong on those ties even when the industry is also 236220. Virginia 3rd District (VA-03) is a numbered congressional place-of-performance code inside Virginia. Other Virginia districts are separate joins even when they reuse NAICS 236220. Virginia 3rd District (VA-03) is not Virginia 2nd or Virginia 10th. Those districts host miscellaneous manufacturing, computer services, or wired telecom in this harvest, not 236220.
Virginia federal spending shows how NAICS 236220 sits beside other industry codes in the same state extract. $1,770,503,428.53 is one district-industry column, not the state table. This packet does not split Virginia 3rd District (VA-03) by county, city, or census tract. Awards that carry a different NAICS stay on those other ties even if the work sounds related to Commercial And Institutional Building Construction. The district-wide obligation total published here is $91,489,301,996.56; $1,770,503,428.53 is the Building Construction slice of that denominator.
USAspending obligations on this pair
USAspending.gov records an obligation when the federal government commits funds on an award. $1,770,503,428.53 is that kind of sum for Commercial And Institutional Building Construction inside VA-03 coding. Later deobligations, recoveries, or payment schedules can change what leaves the Treasury without this join rewriting itself into a cash register. Assistance and contract awards can share the same industry rollup; this packet does not split them. Net obligations can include downward adjustments. This page reports $1,770,503,428.53 as given.
Virginia's own budget is a separate ledger. Mixing it with the 289-row Building Construction cell leaves USAspending.gov. Treat 289 as award records in the aggregate, not unique vendors. Do not annualize without a year field in the packet. Do not per-capita or per-recipient the dollar total; those denominators are unpublished. The implied mean ($6,126,309.44) is a concentration statistic, not a typical VA-03 Building Construction payment.

Row count versus dollar concentration
289 awards is a moderate construction file, close to Hawaii 1st's 297 and thicker than Florida 2nd's 120. Matching counts are not a shared project list. A small share of a huge district parent is arithmetic, not a ranking of Virginia districts. Hawaii 1st and Florida 2nd also use 236220. Do not add those dollars here. A large row count makes a product split tempting; the packet still does not supply one. A small row count makes a named-facility story tempting; the packet still does not name facilities or contractors. The implied mean (about $6,126,309.44) and the district share (1.9% of $91,489,301,996.56) are ratios of packet facts. Prefer Virginia 3rd District and NAICS 236220 if the live tables moved.
Questions
- How much Building Construction spending is coded to Virginia 3rd District (VA-03)?
- USAspending.gov lists $1,770,503,428.53 in Commercial And Institutional Building Construction obligations across 289 awards with place of performance in Virginia 3rd District (VA-03). NAICS 236220 × VA-03 is an obligation join, not an outlay and not Virginia's complete federal ledger. The cell is 1.9% of the district's published total ($91,489,301,996.56). Unique recipients are unpublished. Average obligation is about $6,126,309.44, a ratio of those two facts only.
- Does $1,770,503,428.53 include every Building Construction product line in VA-03?
- The packet publishes one NAICS rollup. The packet does not split commercial from institutional 236220 work, and it does not split contract versus assistance. $1,770,503,428.53 is the combined obligation sum for NAICS 236220 inside VA-03 coding. This page will not invent a product pie or name contractors. Open NAICS 236220 and Virginia 3rd District to inspect parent tables. 289 remains an action count, not a product count.
- Is $1,770,503,428.53 cash already paid in Virginia 3rd District (VA-03)?
- No. Obligations are commitments recorded on USAspending.gov awards. Outlays — money that actually left the Treasury — are a different concept and are not this packet's headline. Treating $1,770,503,428.53 as checks already cleared in Virginia 3rd District (VA-03) confuses those terms. Later ingests can revise 289 awards. Prefer the live district and industry hubs if the tables moved.
- Why is the implied average $6,126,309.44 not a typical award?
- The average is $1,770,503,428.53 divided by 289 awards, about $6,126,309.44. Thick files pull the mean down; thin files pull it up. Neither case publishes a typical instrument. Modifications add rows. Recipients are unpublished. Use the ratio only as a concentration statistic.
