Natural Gas Distribution federal obligations in FY2026

How 221210 meets fiscal year 2026 in the award file

NAICS 221210 and fiscal year 2026 meet here. $101,461,029.40 is the USAspending.gov obligation sum on the yearlyTrend row that carries both tags. It is not Natural Gas Distribution's nationwide all-year total of $1,272,018,514.35, not every federal dollar coded to FY2026, and not an outlay register. The packet does not split distribution from transmission; this code is distribution. 2,077 is an industry-extract action count: modifications and repeat awards add rows across years. Unique recipients are unpublished. This cell is not a utility roster, a therm ledger, or a named-pipeline map.

Open /industries/221210/ (NAICS 221210) for the industry table without this FY2026 filter, /fiscal-years/2026/ (FY2026 federal spending) for the year table without this NAICS filter, /industries/ (All industries) for every industry, and /ties/ (All spending ties) for the rest of the join list. Quote those hubs as parents, not as addends to $101,461,029.40. Natural-gas distribution is not power-and-communication-line construction (237130). Operations versus construction stay separate.

Keeping 221210 from collapsing into a nearby NAICS

USAspending labels NAICS 221210 as Natural Gas Distribution. That code produced $101,461,029.40 when crossed with fiscal year 2026. The industry-wide 221210 hub does not require a FY2026 filter. The year hub does not require Natural Gas Distribution. Only this tie applies both filters. The packet does not split distribution from transmission; this code is distribution. The NAICS is distribution, not transmission or generation. This page will not invent those other utility codes.

Correlation is not causation: FY2026 did not cause $101,461,029.40 by existing as a large or small budget year. The join is 221210 × FY2026 only. This cell is not a utility roster, a therm ledger, or a named-pipeline map. Do not invent contractors or award recipients to fill the gap. Campaign donations on FEC tables do not fund this USAspending cell; the datasets are separate. 2,077 industry-extract awards belong to 221210 across years, not to FY2026 as a utility census.

2,077 is not a FY2026 vendor list

2,077 is the Natural Gas Distribution award-record count published with the industry extract, not a count of FY2026 instruments. Dividing $101,461,029.40 by 2,077 would mix a one-year dollar total with a multi-year row count, so this page does not publish that ratio as a typical invoice. Unique recipients are unpublished. Modifications and multi-year vehicles can add lines without adding vendors. 2,077 industry-extract awards belong to 221210 across years, not to FY2026 as a utility census. FY2026 figures can be incomplete for the current year, so even the dollar cell may still move.

A moderate parent file makes a program split tempting; the packet still does not supply one. A thin parent file makes a named-facility story tempting; the packet still does not name facilities or contractors. 8.0% of $1,272,018,514.35 is the year share on this packet, not a performance score.

$101,461,029.40 is a commitment sum

USAspending.gov records an obligation when the federal government commits funds on an award. $101,461,029.40 is that kind of sum for Natural Gas Distribution in FY2026. Later deobligations, recoveries, or payment schedules can change what leaves the Treasury without this join rewriting itself into a cash register. Assistance and contract awards can share the same NAICS rollup; this packet does not split them. Net obligations can include downward adjustments. This page reports $101,461,029.40 as given.

Treat 2,077 as award records on the industry extract, not unique vendors and not a FY2026 headcount. Do not per-capita or per-recipient the dollar total; those denominators are unpublished. FEC contribution tables do not fund these awards. Named utilities and pipeline maps are unpublished. Obligations are not outlays.

Using /industries/221210/ and /fiscal-years/2026/ as overlays

Cite USAspending.gov: Natural Gas Distribution (NAICS 221210) obligated $101,461,029.40 in FY2026. Name Natural Gas Distribution and FY2026 together. Keep the obligation word. If /industries/221210/ or /fiscal-years/2026/ has refreshed, prefer the live hub over this snapshot for current rows. The pair is not a utility roster, a therm ledger, or a named-pipeline map. 8.0% of $1,272,018,514.35 is the industry share on this packet, not a budget score. /industries/ lists other industries; /ties/ indexes other pairs.

Keep Natural Gas Distribution, FY2026, $101,461,029.40, and the 2,077-record industry extract together without mixing clocks. Do not add those parents to this cell. Sharing a year with Natural Gas Distribution does not mean campaign donations funded these awards, and it does not convert obligations into outlays. This page reports one USAspending yearlyTrend join. Natural-gas distribution is not power-and-communication-line construction (237130). Operations versus construction stay separate.

How not to reuse $101,461,029.40

2,077 industry-extract awards belong to 221210 across years, not to FY2026 as a utility census. Natural-gas distribution is not power-and-communication-line construction (237130). Operations versus construction stay separate. A reader who quotes 2,077 as unique companies in FY2026 has left the packet. A reader who treats 8.0% as a hardship or success ranking has added a score the table does not carry. Prefer /industries/221210/ and /fiscal-years/2026/ if the live tables moved. Named utilities and pipeline maps are unpublished. Obligations are not outlays.

This snapshot holds $101,461,029.40 on the yearlyTrend row and 2,077 on the industry extract. /ties/ is the index, not an addend. Obligations are not outlays. Correlation is not causation. A reader who only quotes $101,461,029.40 without FY2026 and NAICS 221210 has dropped a join side.

Questions

How much Natural Gas Distribution spending is obligated in FY2026?

USAspending.gov lists $101,461,029.40 in Natural Gas Distribution (NAICS 221210) obligations for FY2026. That yearlyTrend amount is 8.0% of the industry's $1,272,018,514.35 extract-wide total. It is an obligation join, not an outlay and not every federal dollar in FY2026. Unique recipients are unpublished.

Is $101,461,029.40 the entire Natural Gas Distribution USAspending total?

No. NAICS 221210's extract-wide total is $1,272,018,514.35. FY2026 is 8.0% of that book. Other fiscal-year rows for the same industry are separate cells. Do not add /industries/221210/ into this join. 2,077 award records stay on the industry extract, not on this yearlyTrend row.

Is $101,461,029.40 cash already paid in FY2026?

No. Obligations are commitments recorded on USAspending.gov awards. Outlays — money that actually left the Treasury — are a different concept and are not this packet's headline. Treating $101,461,029.40 as checks already cleared in FY2026 confuses those terms. Prefer the live industry and year hubs if the tables moved.

Does 2,077 awards mean 2,077 unique companies in FY2026?

No. 2,077 is the industry-extract award-record count for Natural Gas Distribution, not unique vendors and not a FY2026 headcount. Modifications add rows. This packet names no contractors. Keep the extract count off the yearlyTrend clock. USAspending.gov remains the source for NAICS 221210 in FY2026.
