Deep sea freight federal obligations in Alabama (NAICS 483111)

Fifty-one deep-sea freight awards are coded to Alabama. 51 USAspending.gov awards coded to Deep Sea Freight Transportation (NAICS 483111) and Alabama place of performance carry $132,927,390.58 in federal obligations. 51 awards against $132.9 million is a relatively sparse, high-dollar ocean-freight cell rather than a river-barge book. Mean obligation per award is about $2,606,419. The join is NAICS 483111 plus Alabama, not a barge census, a 483113 coastal-freight total, or an outlay.

Key figures

  • NAICS 483111 in Alabama: $132,927,390.58 across 51 USAspending awards.
  • Implied mean about $2,606,419 per award, not a typical invoice.

NAICS 483111 and Alabama as a deep-sea-freight join

This page intersects one six-digit industry and one state. $132,927,390.58 is the obligation sum where both filters are true. NAICS 483111 is deep sea freight transportation, not coastal and Great Lakes freight and not inland water freight. It is not a statewide spending total and not a national NAICS 483111 total. Those parent tables live on Alabama federal spending and NAICS 483111.

51 awards against $132.9 million is a relatively sparse, high-dollar ocean-freight cell rather than a river-barge book. 51 is an award-record count. Modifications can sit beside base awards. The packet does not say how many unique vendors produced the 51 lines. Reading 51 as factories, ships, or clinics in Alabama would confuse actions with establishments.

Alabama industries lists other NAICS codes with AL place of performance. All spending ties indexes other state–industry pairs. Do not sum those indexes into $132,927,390.58. The headline remains $132,927,390.58 on 51 awards for this pair alone.

Deep sea freight, not inland waterways

NAICS 483111 is a Census industry code assigned on the award. NAICS 483111 is deep sea freight transportation, not coastal and Great Lakes freight and not inland water freight. Coastal and Great Lakes freight transportation (483113) and inland water freight transportation (483211) are different codes. Those neighboring codes never enter $132,927,390.58 unless they also appear as 483111, which they do not. Keep the six-digit label when you cite the Alabama cell.

Port folklore is ordinary speech, not extra packet dollars. Unique contractors are unpublished. Dividing $132,927,390.58 by 51 produces about $2,606,419. That quotient is arithmetic, not a typical Alabama 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.

Alabama geography on a deep-sea-freight cell

Alabama place of performance can cover Mobile, the Port of Mobile area, or a reporting address in Baldwin County. The packet has no site split. Inside the AL tag, named cities are not broken out. The packet has one state key. A named city can sit inside $132,927,390.58 only if its awards carry NAICS 483111 and AL — which this narrative cannot verify.

Place-of-performance geography is not the same as contractor headquarters. A firm based elsewhere can perform in Alabama, and a Alabama address can appear on work done out of state. This join reports the coded pair, not a logistics map. Alabama federal spending remains the statewide parent.

Obligations versus outlays for Alabama 483111

USAspending obligations are commitments, not checks that have cleared. $132,927,390.58 can include amounts that will be paid later, cancelled, or modified. The packet does not publish outlays. 51 is not a payment count. Quote NAICS 483111 in Alabama as obligations and leave fiscal-year folklore off the citation — years are unpublished here.

What the deep-sea-freight–Alabama pair does not prove

The deep-sea-freight–Alabama pair does not prove that Alabama specialized in this industry because of federal demand, or the reverse. Port folklore is ordinary speech, not extra packet dollars. Unique contractors are unpublished. Campaign-finance tables are a different dataset; donations do not fund these awards. Keep both sides of the join in any headline: NAICS 483111 and Alabama.

How to cite NAICS 483111 in Alabama

Cite USAspending.gov, NAICS 483111 (Deep Sea Freight Transportation), Alabama (AL), $132,927,390.58, and 51 awards. Note that the figures are obligations. Point readers to Alabama federal spending, NAICS 483111, Alabama industries, and All spending ties rather than collapsing those pages into this cell. Mean per award stays about $2,606,419 as a ratio only. Readers who reuse this state-industry snapshot should keep both sides of the join in the same sentence, cite USAspending.gov as the source, and treat award rows as records rather than unique vendors. The live hubs linked from this page can refresh the snapshot; this narrative does not invent a fiscal year, a recipient list, or an outlay total that the packet omitted. Place of performance remains a geography tag, not proof that work stayed inside the named state. Keep the obligation word on the headline dollar figure in every footnote.
