Oil and gas pipeline construction in Washington (NAICS 237120)
Ten pipeline-construction awards are coded to Washington. USAspending.gov lists $68,911,841.67 in NAICS 237120 (Oil And Gas Pipeline And Related Structures Construction) obligations with Washington place of performance. The pair is a small-count, high-mean construction cell, not Washington’s full federal total and not every 237120 award nationwide. Mean obligation per award is about $6,891,184, arithmetic from two packet facts rather than a typical mile invoice. Original filings remain on USAspending.gov. This page is a join of one NAICS industry and one place-of-performance state; it is not a ranking, not a recipient roster, and not a claim that campaign donations fund these awards.

NAICS 237120 and Washington as a pipeline-construction join
This page intersects one six-digit industry and one state. $68,911,841.67 is the obligation sum where both filters are true. NAICS 237120 is oil and gas pipeline and related structures construction, not a statewide spending total and not a national 237120 rollup. Those parent tables live on Washington federal spending and NAICS 237120.
10 awards against $68.9 million is a concentrated construction cell. 10 is an award-record count. A handful of large vehicles can dominate the dollar sum. The packet does not say how many unique vendors produced the 10 lines. Reading 10 as pipelines, yards, or clinics in Washington would confuse actions with establishments.
Washington industries lists other NAICS codes with WA place of performance. All spending ties indexes other state–industry pairs. Do not sum those indexes into $68,911,841.67. The headline remains $68,911,841.67 on 10 awards for this pair alone.
The overlay exists because two filters are true at once. Quote the industry code and the state together whenever you reuse the headline dollar figure. The packet publishes an obligation sum and an award-action count; it does not publish unique vendors, a median, outlays, or a fiscal year. Parent hubs remain the place to see the statewide mix and the national industry page without the other filter.
Pipeline structures, not a refining or shipping residual
USAspending labels NAICS 237120 as Oil And Gas Pipeline And Related Structures Construction. The packet does not name routes, products, or primes. Power-line and highway codes never enter $68,911,841.67 unless they also appear as 237120, which they do not. Keep the six-digit label when you cite the Washington cell.
Energy-corridor folklore is ordinary speech, not extra packet dollars. Unique contractors are unpublished. Dividing $68,911,841.67 by 10 produces about $6,891,184. That quotient is arithmetic, not a typical Washington contract. There is no median, no top-award table, and no fiscal-year breakout on this packet. Do not treat the mean as a posted unit price.
Washington geography on a 237120 cell
Washington place of performance can cover Puget Sound, the Columbia, or a reporting address near a federal installation. The packet has no site split. Inside the WA tag, named cities are not broken out. A named city can sit inside $68,911,841.67 only if its awards carry NAICS 237120 and WA — which this narrative cannot verify.
Place-of-performance geography is not the same as contractor headquarters. A firm based elsewhere can perform in Washington, and a Washington address can appear on work done out of state. This join reports the coded pair, not a corridor map. Washington federal spending remains the statewide parent.
Obligations versus outlays for Washington 237120
USAspending obligations are commitments, not checks that have cleared. $68,911,841.67 can include amounts that will be paid later, cancelled, or modified. The packet does not publish outlays. 10 is not a payment count. Quote NAICS 237120 in Washington as obligations and leave fiscal-year folklore off the citation — years are unpublished here.
What the pipeline–Washington pair does not prove
A high mean on ten awards is not proof of a single prime and not proof that Washington specialized in pipeline construction because of federal demand. Unique contractors are unpublished. Campaign-finance tables are a different dataset; donations do not fund these awards. Keep both sides of the join in any headline: NAICS 237120 and Washington.
How to cite pipeline construction in Washington
Cite USAspending.gov, NAICS 237120 (Oil And Gas Pipeline And Related Structures Construction), Washington (WA), $68,911,841.67, and 10 awards. Note that the figures are obligations. Point readers to Washington federal spending, NAICS 237120, Washington industries, and All spending ties rather than collapsing those pages into this cell. Mean per award stays about $6,891,184 as a ratio only.
A ten-award cell can still carry a mid-eight-figure obligation sum. Readers who reuse this snapshot should keep both sides of the join in the same sentence and treat award rows as records rather than unique vendors. This narrative does not invent a fiscal year, a recipient list, or an outlay total that the packet omitted. Place of performance remains a geography tag, not proof that work stayed inside Washington. Keep the obligation word on $68,911,841.67 in every footnote.

- 10 award records produced $68,911,841.67. A small action count can still carry a large obligation sum. About $6,891,184 per award is $68,911,841.67 divided by 10, not a typical Washington purchase. The packet does not list unique recipients or a median award.
- Is this a specific Washington pipeline project?
- The packet does not break 10 awards by route. $68,911,841.67 is NAICS 237120 obligations with Washington place of performance. Route folklore is not a packet field. Quote oil and gas pipeline construction and Washington together. Those figures are obligations, not outlays.
