The join is awarding-agency 070 crossed with NAICS 236220, not a ports-of-entry construction census and not DHS’s entire $391,393,534,450.98 book. About $22.50 million per award is the packet ratio. The dollars are commitments, not Treasury outlays.

DHS × 236220 is a building-code join, not a facilities census
Agency 070 and NAICS 236220 meet in this cell. $25,948,256,125.90 is the USAspending.gov obligation sum on awards that carry both tags. It is not Department of Homeland Security’s entire $391,393,534,450.98 book, not the national NAICS 236220 total, and not an outlay. The join is awarding-agency 070 crossed with NAICS 236220, not a ports-of-entry construction census and not DHS’s entire $391,393,534,450.98 book. The pair is the only object this page measures. The extract does not list facility names, square footage, or project addresses.
1,153 award records sit beside $25,948,256,125.90. Treating 1,153 as equal 1,153 buildings or 1,153 construction sites would misread award rows as people, plants, or hulls. Unique recipients are unpublished. Heavy civil, highway, or residential construction codes sit outside this total unless they also carry 236220. Those neighboring codes never enter $25,948,256,125.90 unless they also appear as 236220.
1,153 awards behind $25.9 billion
Dividing $25,948,256,125.90 by 1,153 yields about $22.50 million. That quotient is arithmetic, not a typical building contract and not a cost per square foot. There is no median, no top-award table, and no fiscal-year breakout on this packet. Award count can include continuations. It is not a count of buildings, ports, or campuses.
One thousand one hundred fifty-three lines are too many to narrate one by one. Sort the DHS table by amount to see concentration. Open Department of Homeland Security rather than inventing a contractor roster. Do not convert 1,153 into a map of DHS construction sites. Border-wall or courthouse folklore is not a project list in this packet. Correlation with a facilities inventory or a GSA building count is not in this join. About 6.6% of the $391,393,534,450.98 agency book sits in this NAICS cell — a ratio of two packet facts, not a policy ranking.
Construction obligations are not buildings already opened
NAICS 236220 is a commercial-and-institutional building construction label on the award file, not a named capital plan. $25,948,256,125.90 is the commitment aggregate, not a punch-list of buildings completed. No year field is published. A DHS facilities construction plan is a different file unless it uses agency 070, NAICS 236220, and obligations.
This extract does not split new construction from alterations, and it does not split headquarters from field sites. DHS shipbuilding, guards, and IT cells on this slice are other NAICS joins with the same agency key. This page will not invent a sub-NAICS share. The industry label stays Commercial And Institutional Building Construction. The awarding-agency label stays Department of Homeland Security.
What the DHS 236220 table omits
Facts remain $25,948,256,125.90, 1,153 awards, agency 070, NAICS 236220, and parent $391,393,534,450.98. Missing fields include facility names, square footage, or project addresses. Square-foot totals belong on project files if they exist; they are not packet facts. Do not rank this pair against other agencies’ 236220 cells as a winner or loser.
NAICS 236220 shows NAICS 236220 without the agency 070 filter. All agencies and All spending ties are indexes, not addends. FEC donation tables do not fund USAspending obligations; the two systems do not share a payment rail. Quote $25,948,256,125.90 as the tagged pair only.
Where the DHS × NAICS 236220 hubs live
Department of Homeland Security is the agency 070 hub. NAICS 236220 is the industry hub. All agencies lists awarding agencies. All spending ties indexes other ties. 1,153 awards totaling $25,948,256,125.90 remain a construction-coded administrative file, not a building census. Project names and square footage are not in this packet. USAspending.gov is the source. Do not annualize $25,948,256,125.90.
How to read the DHS × 236220 pair
Two tables meet: awarding agency 070 and NAICS 236220. $25,948,256,125.90 is the obligation intersection, not a forecast and not an outlay. The join does not prove Department of Homeland Security caused Commercial And Institutional Building Construction work, or the reverse. Open the linked hubs for parent totals. This narrative is not a vendor directory.
Questions
- How much DHS spending is coded to building construction?
- USAspending.gov shows $25,948,256,125.90 in obligations for Department of Homeland Security (agency 070) coded to NAICS 236220, across 1,153 awards. The sum is a commitment total, not outlays and not the agency’s full $391,393,534,450.98 book. Other industries are outside this join unless they also carry 236220.
- Do 1,153 awards mean 1,153 DHS buildings?
- No. Award count is a row count of 1,153 actions and can include continuations. It is not a count of buildings, ports, or campuses. The packet does not name recipients. See Department of Homeland Security for named lines as USAspending stored them.
- Is this DHS’s entire facilities budget?
- No. The join is agency 070 plus NAICS 236220. Other DHS construction-like codes are outside $25,948,256,125.90 unless they also carry 236220. The parent DHS book is $391,393,534,450.98. Original filings remain on USAspending.gov.
- Has $25.9 billion already been paid to builders?
- Not on this metric. Obligations are recorded commitments on awards. Outlays are payments from the Treasury. The $25,948,256,125.90 headline is the obligation rollup in SpendingVault’s extract. Remaining balances are not published in this packet. Original filings remain on USAspending.gov.
