What NAICS 237310 and North Carolina share on one row
NAICS 237310 and place-of-performance state NC meet here. $341,583,252.45 is the obligation sum on awards that carry both tags. It is not every federal award in North Carolina, not the nationwide Highway, Street, And Bridge Construction total, and not cash already paid. North carolina highway-program folklore and statewide highway, street, and bridge construction stories may send a reader here. Those stories are not a plant list and not a highway actions census. NAICS 237310 is highway, street, and bridge construction, not other heavy civil (237990) and not building construction.
245 award actions sit behind that dollar figure — hundreds of rows beside $341,583,252.45. Hundreds of rows can mix modifications with larger instruments. The join does not rank North Carolina against other states and does not name vendors, facilities, or highway actions inside the extract. Unique recipients are unpublished on this page.
Open North Carolina federal spending for the statewide table, NAICS 237310 for the industry hub without a North Carolina filter, North Carolina industries for other North Carolina industry cells, and All spending ties for other pairs. Do not add those parent pages into $341,583,252.45.
Highway and bridge awards under a North Carolina tag
Dividing $341,583,252.45 by 245 yields about $1,394,217 per award on average. That average hides contracts, grants, and other instruments. It is not a typical paving job. A second 237310 slice on another state uses the same NAICS code and a different dollar total. Do not treat North Carolina's 237310 total as a synonym for every federal highway and bridge construction purchase. North carolina highway-program folklore is a coding conversation, not a packet field.
Recipient rows live on the industry and state hubs, not in this narrative's extra columns. 245 is an award-record count, including modifications, not a count of highway actions and not a unique-firm census. Keep 237310 and NC as the join key even when a later USAspending ingest restates $341,583,252.45.
NAICS 237310 without a North Carolina overlay is a different total
The NAICS 237310 page aggregates NAICS 237310 without requiring NC geography. The North Carolina federal spending page aggregates all agencies and industries with North Carolina place of performance. North Carolina industries lists other industry cells in the same state. Only this tie applies both the 237310 filter and the NC filter, which is why it cites 245 awards and $341,583,252.45.
Place of performance in North Carolina is a USAspending geography field. Awards can list NC while work occurs in South Carolina or Virginia. 237310 awards coded to those states do not sit in this total even if a vendor's mailroom is in Charlotte. This packet does not split Charlotte, Raleigh, or Wilmington. Place of performance is a tag, not proof that every highway action stayed inside North Carolina.
Obligations, not outlays
An obligation is a legal commitment. An outlay is a payment. $341,583,252.45 is the former. This packet has no outlay total, no fiscal-year split, and no de-obligation history. Citing the figure as money already spent in North Carolina over-reads the field. Award count 245 is a record count, not a payment count.
Readers who need transaction-level detail should use North Carolina federal spending, NAICS 237310, and North Carolina industries. All spending ties does not hide a blended statewide total under this slug. Keep the obligation label on $341,583,252.45 in every reuse.
What this North Carolina–237310 pair does not prove
A highway, street, and bridge construction total in North Carolina does not mean the industry caused North Carolina's industrial mix, and it does not connect these obligations to campaign contributions. Correlation between plant geography and highway and bridge construction awards is expected; it is not a finding about readiness, waste, or local employment. FEC individual contributions are a different dataset.
Keep $341,583,252.45 labeled as NAICS 237310 obligations with North Carolina place of performance. An industry name that appears near a donor occupation is a coincidence of labeling, not a cash pipeline into USAspending. North Carolina federal spending still includes other NAICS codes that must not be folded into this cell.
How to cite the North Carolina–237310 pair
A clean footnote names NAICS 237310 (Highway, Street, And Bridge Construction), North Carolina place of performance, $341,583,252.45 in obligations, and 245 awards on USAspending.gov.

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.
