NAICS 483111 and California as a sealift join
This page intersects one six-digit industry and one state. $356,047,789.01 is the obligation sum where both filters are true. NAICS 483111 is deep sea freight transportation, not coastal freight and not port operations. It is not a statewide spending total and not a national NAICS 483111 total. Those parent tables live on California federal spending and NAICS 483111.
854 awards against $356.0 million is a mid-thick transportation cell rather than a single sealift charter. 854 is an award-record count. Modifications can sit beside base awards. The packet does not say how many unique vendors produced the 854 lines. Reading 854 as factories, ships, or clinics in California would confuse actions with establishments.
California industries lists other NAICS codes with CA place of performance. All spending ties indexes other state–industry pairs. Do not sum those indexes into $356,047,789.01. The headline remains $356,047,789.01 on 854 awards for this pair alone.
Deep-sea freight, not ports or coastal barges
NAICS 483111 is a Census industry code assigned on the award. NAICS 483111 is deep sea freight transportation, not coastal freight and not port operations. Coastal and Great Lakes freight (483113) and port and harbor operations (488310) are different codes. Those neighboring codes never enter $356,047,789.01 unless they also appear as 483111, which they do not. Keep the six-digit label when you cite the California cell.
A deep-sea tag on a California cell is a reporting fact, not a bill of lading for every TEU. Unique carriers are unpublished. Dividing $356,047,789.01 by 854 produces about $416,918. That quotient is arithmetic, not a typical California 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.
California geography on a deep-sea cell
California place of performance can cover Los Angeles–Long Beach, Oakland, San Diego, or a reporting address inland. The packet has no port split. Inside the CA tag, Los Angeles, Oakland, or a named Long Beach terminal are not broken out. The packet has one state key. A named city can sit inside $356,047,789.01 only if its awards carry NAICS 483111 and CA — which this narrative cannot verify.
Place-of-performance geography is not the same as contractor headquarters. A firm based elsewhere can perform in California, and a California address can appear on work done out of state. This join reports the coded pair, not a logistics map. California federal spending remains the statewide parent.
Obligations versus outlays for California 483111
USAspending obligations are commitments, not checks that have cleared. $356,047,789.01 can include amounts that will be paid later, cancelled, or modified. The packet does not publish outlays. 854 is not a payment count. Quote NAICS 483111 in California as obligations and leave fiscal-year folklore off the citation — years are unpublished here.
What the deep-sea–California pair does not prove
The deep-sea freight–California pair does not prove that California specialized in this industry because of federal demand, or the reverse. A deep-sea tag on a California cell is a reporting fact, not a bill of lading for every TEU. Unique carriers 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 California.
How to cite NAICS 483111 in California
Cite USAspending.gov, NAICS 483111 (Deep Sea Freight Transportation), California (CA), $356,047,789.01, and 854 awards. Note that the figures are obligations. Point readers to California federal spending, NAICS 483111, California industries, and All spending ties rather than collapsing those pages into this cell. Mean per award stays about $416,918 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.
