Commercial And Institutional Building Construction federal obligations in Virginia

What NAICS 236220 and Virginia share on one row

NAICS 236220 and place-of-performance state VA meet here. $3,060,997,838 is the obligation sum on awards that carry both tags. It is not every federal award in Virginia, not the nationwide Commercial And Institutional Building Construction total, and not cash already paid. Northern-Virginia campus and statewide federal-construction folklore may send a reader here. Those stories are not a jobsite list and not a square-footage census.

3,540 award actions sit behind that dollar figure — thousands of award actions behind a multi-billion obligation total. Thousands of rows can mix large campus awards with smaller instruments. The join does not rank Virginia against other states and does not name jobsites inside the extract.

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

Building-construction actions under a Virginia geography tag

Dividing $3,060,997,838 by 3,540 yields about $864,689 per award on average. That average hides contracts, grants, and other instruments. It is not a typical federal-building contract. A second 236220 slice on another state uses the same NAICS code and a different dollar total. Do not treat Virginia’s 236220 total as a synonym for every federal building award.

Northern-virginia campus and statewide federal-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 Virginia overlay is a different total

The NAICS 236220 page aggregates NAICS 236220 without requiring VA geography. The Virginia federal spending page aggregates all agencies and industries with Virginia place of performance. Virginia industries lists other industry cells in the same state. Only this tie applies both the 236220 filter and the VA filter, which is why it cites 3,540 awards and $3,060,997,838.

Place of performance in Virginia is a USAspending geography field. Awards can list VA while later work occurs in Maryland or D.C. 236220 awards coded to those jurisdictions do not sit in this total even if the contractor’s mailroom is in Arlington. This packet does not split Northern Virginia from Hampton Roads or Richmond.

Obligations, not outlays

An obligation is a legal commitment. An outlay is a payment. $3,060,997,838 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 Virginia over-reads the field.

Award count 3,540 is a record count, not a payment count. Readers who need transaction-level detail should use Virginia federal spending, NAICS 236220, and Virginia 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 Virginia does not mean builders caused Virginia’s construction mix, and it does not connect these obligations to campaign contributions. Correlation between federal campuses and building awards is expected; it is not a finding about cost overruns or waste.

Keep $3,060,997,838 labeled as NAICS 236220 obligations with Virginia 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 Virginia–236220 pair

A clean footnote names NAICS 236220 (Commercial And Institutional Building Construction), Virginia place of performance, $3,060,997,838 in obligations, and 3,540 awards on USAspending.gov. Keep the obligation word. Do not call $3,060,997,838 cash outlays. Mean dollars per action remain about $864,689 if you divide those two facts — a ratio, not a typical federal-building contract.

Virginia federal spending, NAICS 236220, Virginia industries, and All spending ties keep the same unit. A later ingest can restate $3,060,997,838 without changing the join definition. Rewrite only the sentence whose source moved. Northern Virginia-versus-Hampton Roads folklore is not a metro split in this packet. Jobsite names belong on the overlay if they appear as recipients; they are not extra packet dollars. Keep the obligation label in every reuse. Correlation is not causation.

Do not treat a thousands of award actions behind a multi-billion obligation total as a unique-firm census. Unique recipients are not published here. Keep NAICS 236220 and VA as the join key even if a later USAspending ingest restates $3,060,997,838. Those stories are not a jobsite list and not a square-footage census.
