No fiscal year is published in this packet, so this page does not invent one.

NAICS 483111 × VA-03 is a Hampton Roads freight join, not a hull roster
This page is a join: Deep Sea Freight Transportation (NAICS 483111) as the industry key, and Virginia 3rd District (VA-03) as congressional district place of performance. SpendingVault sums tagged obligations to $1,490,580,585.94 on 174 awards. The join is NAICS 483111 crossed with a VA-03 location field, not Virginia's entire freight book and not a named-vessel inventory. Treat the pair as a catalog intersection, not a ranking of which district received more, and not a claim that 174 awards equal 174 ships or 174 unique carriers.
The FL-05 483111 join sits outside this total unless those awards also carry NAICS 483111 and VA-03. Mixing those books into $1,490,580,585.94 would invent a combined figure the packet never computed. Correlation between this obligation sum and local maritime employment is not causation. Vessel names and voyage logs are not in the packet. Place of performance as VA-03 locates the tagged awards; it does not deposit $1,490,580,585.94 in a district treasury. Norfolk-versus-Newport News folklore is not a geography split in this packet.
174 awards behind $1.49 billion
Mean obligation is about $8,566,555.09 if $1,490,580,585.94 were divided evenly across 174 lines. That ratio is not a published voyage cost and not a typical charter invoice. Award count is a row count, including possible continuations and modifications. It is not a count of ships, voyages, or unique vendors. One hundred seventy-four awards against a $1.49 billion cell is a thicker sealift file than FL-05's forty-one-award 483111 join, still a slice of the $91.49 billion district parent.
Charter modifications can multiply rows without multiplying unique carriers. This page will not invent contractor or recipient names. Open Virginia 3rd District for the stored district table. Do not convert 174 into a map of Virginia 3rd District piers. The $1,490,580,585.94 total remains an obligation rollup on tagged awards. Inspect named lines on the overlay rather than inferring a vessel census.
Virginia 3rd District, not a statewide sealift rollup
Virginia 3rd District (VA-03) is one geography tag on USAspending awards, not a commuting zone and not a metro list. Awards tagged to VA-02, VA-04, or another Virginia district are out even if the port sounds related. Recipient address can differ from that district tag. The district parent in this extract is $91,489,301,996.56 across every industry; $1,490,580,585.94 is the Deep Sea Freight Transportation slice — about 1.6% of that parent by arithmetic. Subtracting is tempting; this page still does not publish the leftover NAICS list.
A statewide deep-sea freight figure on Virginia federal spending is a different shelf. Do not rank VA-03 against neighboring districts as a winner or loser. Other Virginia district cells are other joins. Virginia federal spending is the statewide book without a district filter. Adding statewide Deep Sea Freight Transportation dollars to $1,490,580,585.94 would double count. Campaign-finance filings are a different public-record system; this join does not claim donations funded these obligations.
NAICS 483111 obligations are not voyages already billed
Deep-sea freight transportation awards often obligate as charter and cargo vehicles and draw as voyages post. The $1,490,580,585.94 headline is the obligation sum, not a punch-list of voyages already completed and not a Treasury outlay total. A sealift dashboard dated to a particular year is not automatically this join unless it uses NAICS 483111, VA-03 geography, and the obligation metric.
NAICS 483111 is the nationwide industry book without a VA-03 filter. This extract does not split military from commercial cargo, and it does not merge FL-05's 483111 dollars into this VA-03 cell. Those cuts would require award documentation beyond dollars, 174 awards, NAICS 483111, and Virginia 3rd District. This page will not invent a share. Unique recipients remain unpublished.
What the VA-03 deep-sea freight table omits
The extract has no vessel names, primes, or voyage counts. Facts remain $1,490,580,585.94, 174 awards, NAICS 483111, Deep Sea Freight Transportation, Virginia 3rd District (VA-03), and district parent $91,489,301,996.56. Hampton Roads maritime folklore belongs on another extract if it appears at all. Keep the obligation label. Later ingests can revise both the dollars and the 174-award count; prefer the live table when the overlay and this snapshot diverge.
Where the 483111 × VA-03 pair lives
Start with Virginia 3rd District for the district rollup that contains this Deep Sea Freight Transportation cell. NAICS 483111 is the nationwide NAICS 483111 listing. Virginia federal spending gives Virginia context without a VA-03 filter. All spending ties indexes other two-key joins on the same obligation metric. One hundred seventy-four awards totaling this cell remain an administrative file, not a vessel roster. Keep both Deep Sea Freight Transportation and Virginia 3rd District (VA-03) in every citation sentence. Do not recast $1,490,580,585.94 as cash already paid or as Virginia's entire sealift appropriation. USAspending.gov remains the source; SpendingVault republishes the join. FEC contribution tables do not fund this cell.
