Nonscheduled Chartered Freight Air Transportation federal obligations in Michigan (NAICS 481212)

What the chartered freight air–Michigan join is

NAICS 481212 and place-of-performance state MI meet on this tie. $178,783,391 is the obligation sum on awards that carry both tags. It is not the nationwide total for chartered freight air, not Michigan’s entire federal inflow, and not cash already paid. 481212 is nonscheduled chartered freight air transportation, not scheduled freight (481112) and not passenger charter (481211).

412 is an award-action count. Modifications, delivery orders, and repeat vehicles add rows. Unique vendors are not published in this packet. Dividing $178,783,391 by 412 yields about $433,940 per award on average. The join does not rank Michigan against other states and does not assign a fiscal year; none is in the facts.

Open Michigan federal spending for the state rollup, NAICS 481212 for the industry hub, Michigan industries for other NAICS in the same geography, and All spending ties for other pairs.

NAICS 481212 as the industry side

USAspending labels NAICS 481212 as Nonscheduled Chartered Freight Air Transportation. Nonscheduled chartered freight means cargo flights that are not on a published schedule as the NAICS is defined. The extract does not name carriers, routes, or aircraft types. Scheduled cargo and passenger charters are other codes. Tennessee’s 481211 passenger-charter join on this slice is a different NAICS. The industry hub for NAICS 481212 does not require Michigan geography; only this overlay applies both filters.

A second chartered freight air join in another state uses the same NAICS and a different dollar total. Do not treat Michigan’s 481212 figure as a synonym for every chartered freight air award in the catalog. 481212 is nonscheduled chartered freight air transportation, not scheduled freight (481112) and not passenger charter (481211). Award titles on the NAICS 481212 page are the place to see what a given line bought.

Place of performance in Michigan

Michigan on this join is a USAspending geography field, not a claim that every dollar was disbursed to Michigan residents. Michigan POP can reflect origin, destination, or contractor location as USAspending stored it; this packet does not say which. Statewide MI is not a Detroit Metro-only overlay. Do not add Michigan freight charter to Tennessee passenger charter. Awards can list MI while later performance occurs elsewhere.

The state hub for Michigan shows how NAICS 481212 sits beside other industries in the same geography. This packet does not split metros, counties, or congressional districts.

Award count, mean, and obligations

412 awards is a mid-volume transportation file. Charter task orders can repeat. The mean is not a price per pound of cargo. Award count 412 is a record count, not a payment count and not a unique-contractor census. Readers who need transaction-level detail should use the Michigan industries list and the NAICS 481212 hub.

An obligation is a legal commitment. $178,783,391 is that kind of sum. Outlays can lag. This packet has no outlay total and no fiscal-year split. Citing $178,783,391 as cash already spent in Michigan over-reads the field.

What this pair does not prove

Charter-freight obligations are not a judgment about airport congestion or safety. They are commitments on one NAICS in one state. Outlays and flight hours are not in this packet. Keep $178,783,391 labeled as NAICS 481212 obligations with Michigan place of performance. Campaign contributions and USAspending awards are different datasets; this page does not claim donations fund these obligations.

A later ingest can restate $178,783,391 without changing the join key of NAICS 481212 and MI. Rewrite only the sentence whose source moved. Open Michigan federal spending for the state rollup, NAICS 481212 for the industry hub, Michigan industries for other NAICS in the same geography, and All spending ties for other pairs. Correlation is not causation.

A clean footnote names the NAICS, the place-of-performance state, the obligation dollar total, and the award-action count on USAspending.gov. Keep the obligation word. Do not call the headline cash outlays. Metro folklore is not a packet split; awards stay statewide unless a different join says otherwise. A high award-action count is still a record count, including modifications. Original filings remain on the source site.
