Nonscheduled Chartered Freight Air Transportation federal obligations in Montana

Nonscheduled Chartered Freight Air Transportation (NAICS 481212) shows $213,226,057.72 in USAspending.gov obligations coded to Montana, across 387 awards. The pair is the industry code and the place-of-performance state (MT). Three hundred eighty-seven awards against $213,226,057.72 is a mid-count aviation file. Task-order modifications add rows without each row being a new aircraft. The implied mean is about $550,972 per award — a quotient of two packet facts, not a typical contract. Amounts are obligations, not outlays. No fiscal year is published in this packet.

Charter freight tagged to Montana

Nonscheduled Chartered Freight Air Transportation as NAICS 481212, Montana as place of performance: 387 records summing to $213,226,057.72. A 481212 award coded outside MT is out. An award in Montana tagged to a different NAICS is out even if the work sounds related. Montana (MT) excludes Idaho, Wyoming, North Dakota, and South Dakota. An Idaho-coded charter award is ID.

Three hundred eighty-seven awards against $213,226,057.72 is a mid-count aviation file. Task-order modifications add rows without each row being a new aircraft. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not read 387 as 387 unique flight hours, unique aircraft, or named airfields. Montana federal spending is the all-industry state hub. NAICS 481212 is the industry book without a MT filter. Montana industries lists other Montana industry cells. All spending ties indexes other joins.

Do not assign 387 awards to a named Montana airfield. $213,226,057.72 stays statewide. Correlation is not causation: Montana did not “cause” $213,226,057.72 by existing as a large or small place. Population and outcome scores are not packet facts. The join is 481212 × MT only.

Flight hours are unpublished

$213,226,057.72 does not measure flight hours, unique aircraft, or named airfields. Those series are not USAspending fields on this aggregate. The cell sums award obligations with NAICS 481212 and a MT place-of-performance tag. Nonscheduled chartered freight air transportation is 481212. Highway construction (237310) is a different Montana cell in this slice; do not add them.

Do not treat 387 awards as a census of flight hours, unique aircraft, or named airfields. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If Montana federal spending or NAICS 481212 matched $213,226,057.72 and 387, the join would be pointless. Keep both keys on. Idaho, Wyoming, and North Dakota 481212 joins are other pairs, not addends.

Montana is not a named-airfield roster

Place of performance MT is a geography tag on the award, not a metro list and not a commuting zone. Montana (MT) excludes Idaho, Wyoming, North Dakota, and South Dakota. An Idaho-coded charter award is ID. Recipient headquarters can differ from that state tag.

Do not assign 387 awards to a named Montana airfield. $213,226,057.72 stays statewide. This packet does not split $213,226,057.72 by city, county, or named facility. 387 awards stay statewide. A county table would be a different extract.

Charter awards still record as obligations

Even a thick or thin file records obligations, not necessarily outlays. $213,226,057.72 can include amounts that pay on a later schedule. Citing it as cash already sent in Montana confuses two concepts. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total.

Montana’s own budget is a different ledger. Mixing it with the 387-award USAspending file leaves this series. No fiscal year is published in this packet, so this page does not invent one. Keep the obligation label on $213,226,057.72. Three hundred eighty-seven awards is the row count as USAspending grouped it, not a count of flight hours, unique aircraft, or named airfields.
