The natural gas distribution × North Dakota intersection
Natural Gas Distribution (NAICS 221210) and North Dakota (ND) share one cell because awards carry both tags. $22,695,540.80 is that intersection. NAICS 221210 is natural gas distribution, a utility-distribution code, not extraction and not industrial-gas manufacturing. It is not an electric-utility rollup. /states/nd/ is the state parent. /industries/221210/ is the industry parent. Use both names when quoting the cell.
73 is an award-action count, not 73 North Dakota gas utilities. Task orders and modifications can add rows without adding vendors. The join does not rank North Dakota as a winner or loser.
All North Dakota industries at /states/nd/industries/ lists other codes in the same geography. All spending ties at /ties/ lists other pairs. Adding either parent into this join would double-count.
Industry side: NAICS 221210
USAspending labels NAICS 221210 as Natural Gas Distribution. That title is a catalog label. It is not a proof of outcomes described in ordinary speech. The industry is not industrial gas manufacturing (325120) and not a drilling census. Packet facts on this side are the name, the number, $22,695,540.80, and 73 awards. No contractor names appear.
North Dakota's management-consulting overlay on this extract shares ND geography only. Mixing this cell with pipeline construction, industrial gas manufacturing, or electric power leaves the packet. Award titles on /industries/221210/ show what a given line bought; this overlay does not reprint them.
State side: North Dakota place of performance
Place of performance ND is not a Fargo, Bismarck, or Minot filter. Ordinary maps mention Fargo, Bismarck, or Minot; the extract does not. Awards can list North Dakota while later work occurs elsewhere. The packet does not split counties or congressional districts.
The state hub at /states/nd/ still includes every other NAICS in North Dakota; quoting $22,695,540.80 as all of North Dakota federal spending would be wrong.
73 is not 73 North Dakota gas utilities
73 is the award-record count for natural gas distribution in North Dakota. About $310,898 is $22,695,540.80 ÷ 73, a quotient of packet facts, not a typical invoice. Unique recipients are unpublished. 73 is not 73 North Dakota gas utilities.
An obligation is a legal commitment. $22,695,540.80 is that kind of sum. Outlays are unpublished. Keep the obligation word on every citation of this cell.
Keep FEC tables off this USAspending cell
Lobbying and contribution files do not pay natural gas distribution awards. A later ingest can restate $22,695,540.80 without renaming NAICS 221210 or ND. Confusing this join with pipeline construction, industrial gas manufacturing, or electric power would be a different overlay. Correlation is not causation.
