Department of State (019) obligations in Commercial and Institutional Building Construction

State 019 × 236220 is a building-code join, not a compound census

The relationship is mechanical: awarding agency 019 and industry 236220 on the same award roll into $16,394,075,266.55. The join is awarding-agency 019 crossed with NAICS 236220, not an embassy-compound census and not State’s $117,759,659,797.09 book. Remove either filter and the number changes. This page never claims the pair caused the other side to exist. The extract does not list compound names, square footage, or host-city labels.

723 award lines can look sparse or crowded. Either way, 723 is not equal 723 compounds or 723 construction sites. USAspending counts award records. Unique recipients remain off this packet. Facilities support (561210) and heavy civil codes sit outside this total unless they also carry 236220. Neighboring codes stay outside $16,394,075,266.55.

723 awards behind $16.4 billion

About $22.68 million per award comes from dividing $16,394,075,266.55 by 723. Use that ratio as a scale check, not as a typical embassy construction contract and not a cost per square foot. Count is not a count of compounds, annexes, or construction sites. The agency parent remains $117,759,659,797.09; this slice is about 13.9% of that book.

Seven hundred twenty-three lines belong on the agency 019 table, not in a narrative roster. Open Department of State for the agency hub. This page will not invent a map of overseas compounds or an embassy-building census. Baghdad-versus-Beijing compound folklore is not a project list here. Correlation with a published overseas-building inventory is not a packet finding.

Building obligations are not compounds already occupied

NAICS 236220 labels commercial and institutional building construction on the award file. Quote $16,394,075,266.55 as obligations, not a punch-list of compounds already occupied. A overseas-buildings construction plan with a year stamp is not this file. No fiscal year is attached here.

This extract does not split new embassy construction from renovations or from domestic facilities. Agency 019 also shows facilities-support, guards, and IT joins on this slice; those are other NAICS keys. Those splits are not in the facts.

What the State 019 × 236220 table omits

Omitted: compound names, square footage, or host-city labels. Cited: $16,394,075,266.55, 723 awards, agency 019, NAICS 236220, parent $117,759,659,797.09. Host-country names are not a geography field in this packet.

NAICS 236220 holds NAICS 236220 nationwide. All agencies lists agencies. All spending ties lists ties. Campaign contributions do not pay these obligations. Keep the pair intact when you quote $16,394,075,266.55.

Where the State 019 × NAICS 236220 hubs live

Department of State, NAICS 236220, All agencies, and All spending ties are the four related tables. 723 awards totaling $16,394,075,266.55 remain a building-coded administrative file, not a compound census. Compound names and square footage are not in this packet. USAspending.gov is the source. Do not annualize $16,394,075,266.55.

How to read the State 019 × 236220 pair

Cite agency 019 (Department of State), NAICS 236220 (Commercial And Institutional Building Construction), $16,394,075,266.55, and 723 awards together. Keep the obligation word. The join is the intersection, not a story about why the agency buys this industry. Leave this page for named lines. Compound names and square footage are not in this packet. Readers who reuse this agency-industry snapshot should keep both keys in the same sentence, cite USAspending.gov, and treat award rows as records rather than unique vendors. This narrative does not invent a fiscal year, a recipient list, or an outlay total the packet omitted. Keep the obligation word on the headline dollar figure in every footnote. A later ingest can restate the headline dollars without changing the join itself. Do not add parent hubs into this cell. Unique recipients remain unpublished. Mean dollars per award stay a ratio of two packet facts, not a typical invoice. Campaign-finance tables are a different dataset and do not fund these USAspending obligations. Quote the source, both keys, the obligation total, and the award count in one citation sentence so the pair cannot be mistaken for the agency’s full book.

Questions

How much State agency 019 spending is coded to NAICS 236220?

USAspending.gov shows $16,394,075,266.55 in obligations for Department of State (agency 019) coded to NAICS 236220, across 723 awards. The sum is a commitment total, not outlays and not the agency’s full $117,759,659,797.09 book. Other industries are outside this join unless they also carry 236220.

Do 723 awards mean 723 embassy compounds?

No. Award count is a row count of 723 actions and can include continuations. It is not a count of compounds, annexes, or construction sites. The packet does not name recipients. See Department of State for named lines as USAspending stored them.

Is this the same as DHS building construction?

No. DHS building construction is agency 070 × NAICS 236220, a different awarding-agency key. This page is State 019 × 236220 only. Adding the two invents a combined construction total. Original filings remain on USAspending.gov. Keep both sides of the join in the citation.

Has $16.4 billion already been paid for overseas buildings?

Not on this metric. Obligations are recorded commitments on awards. Outlays are payments from the Treasury. The $16,394,075,266.55 headline is the obligation rollup in SpendingVault’s extract. Remaining balances are not published in this packet. Original filings remain on USAspending.gov.
