Department of Transportation obligations in Highway, Street, and Bridge Construction (NAICS 237310)

DOT × 237310 is a highway-construction join, not a project census

Agency 069 and NAICS 237310 meet in this cell. $4,507,754,929.15 is the USAspending.gov obligation sum on awards that carry both tags. It is not Department of Transportation’s entire $415,288,372,621.56 book, not the national NAICS 237310 total, and not an outlay. The join is awarding-agency 069 crossed with NAICS 237310, not a lane-mile census and not DOT’s entire $415,288,372,621.56 book. The pair is the only object this page measures. The extract does not list project names, mileposts, or bridge IDs.

526 award records sit beside $4,507,754,929.15. Treating 526 as equal 526 projects or 526 bridges would misread award rows as people, plants, or hulls. Unique recipients are unpublished. Engineering services (541330) and other heavy construction codes sit outside this total unless they also carry 237310. Those neighboring codes never enter $4,507,754,929.15 unless they also appear as 237310.

526 awards behind $4.5 billion

Dividing $4,507,754,929.15 by 526 yields about $8.57 million. That quotient is arithmetic, not a typical construction contract and not a cost per mile. 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 projects, miles, or bridges.

Five hundred twenty-six lines belong on the DOT table. This page will not list projects. Open Department of Transportation rather than inventing a contractor roster. Do not convert 526 into a map of highway projects. Interstate-versus-local-bridge folklore is not a project list here. Correlation with a published lane-mile inventory is not in this join. About 1.1% of the $415,288,372,621.56 agency book sits in this NAICS cell — a ratio of two packet facts, not a policy ranking.

Construction obligations are not miles already paved

NAICS 237310 is a highway, street, and bridge construction label on the award file. $4,507,754,929.15 is the commitment aggregate, not a punch-list of miles already paved. No year field is published. A Federal-aid highway construction table is a different file unless it uses agency 069, NAICS 237310, and obligations.

This extract does not split highways from streets from bridges inside 237310. DOT’s 541330 engineering join on this slice is design-coded work, not this construction code. This page will not invent a sub-NAICS share. The industry label stays Highway, Street, And Bridge Construction. The awarding-agency label stays Department of Transportation.

What the DOT 237310 table omits

Facts remain $4,507,754,929.15, 526 awards, agency 069, NAICS 237310, and parent $415,288,372,621.56. Missing fields include project names, mileposts, or bridge IDs. Mileposts and bridge IDs are not packet facts. Do not rank this pair against other agencies’ 237310 cells as a winner or loser.

NAICS 237310 shows NAICS 237310 without the agency 069 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 $4,507,754,929.15 as the tagged pair only.

Where the DOT × NAICS 237310 hubs live

Department of Transportation is the agency 069 hub behind the $415,288,372,621.56 parent. NAICS 237310 is the industry hub. All agencies lists awarding agencies. All spending ties indexes other ties. 526 awards totaling $4,507,754,929.15 remain a construction-coded administrative file, not a project census. Project names and lane-miles are not in this packet. USAspending.gov is the source. Do not annualize $4,507,754,929.15: no fiscal year is in the facts. Those four links are parents and indexes, not addends for this cell.

How to read the DOT × 237310 pair

Two tables meet: awarding agency 069 and NAICS 237310. $4,507,754,929.15 is the obligation intersection, not a forecast and not an outlay. The join does not prove Department of Transportation caused Highway, Street, And Bridge Construction work, or the reverse. Open Department of Transportation, NAICS 237310, All agencies, and All spending ties for parent totals. This narrative is not a vendor directory. Campaign-finance filings do not fund these USAspending obligations.

Questions

How much DOT spending is coded to highway, street, and bridge construction?

USAspending.gov shows $4,507,754,929.15 in obligations for Department of Transportation (agency 069) coded to NAICS 237310, across 526 awards. The sum is a commitment total, not outlays and not the agency’s full $415,288,372,621.56 book. Other industries are outside this join unless they also carry 237310.

Do 526 awards mean 526 highway projects?

No. Award count is a row count of 526 actions and can include continuations. It is not a count of projects, miles, or bridges. The packet does not name recipients. See Department of Transportation for named lines as USAspending stored them.

Is this the same as DOT engineering services?

No. Engineering services are NAICS 541330, a separate DOT join. This page is construction 237310 only. Mixing design and construction invents a combined infrastructure figure. Original filings remain on USAspending.gov. Keep both sides of the join in the citation.

Has $4.5 billion already been paid to construction firms?

Not on this metric. Obligations are recorded commitments on awards. Outlays are payments from the Treasury. The $4,507,754,929.15 headline is the obligation rollup in SpendingVault’s extract. Remaining balances are not published in this packet. Original filings remain on USAspending.gov.
