Other Communications Equipment Manufacturing in Iowa 2nd District (IA-02)
NAICS 334290 and Iowa 2nd District (IA-02) meet at $1,352,097,443.33 in USAspending.gov obligations, spread across 102 awards. One hundred two residual-communications-equipment rows cover about ten percent of IA-02. Colorado 5th's communication-equipment repair join (811213) is a services code, not this manufacturing key. That pair is Other Communications Equipment Manufacturing (NAICS 334290) and Iowa 2nd District (IA-02) — not Iowa's entire federal inflow, not NAICS 334290 nationwide, and not cash already paid. The cell is 10.0% of this district's published obligation total ($13,515,948,904.06). Implied average obligation is about $13,255,857.29 ($1,352,097,443.33 ÷ 102). The packet does not publish a fiscal year on this join. Correlation is not causation.

What the Communications Equipment–IA-02 join is
Congressional district IA-02 and NAICS 334290 meet here. $1,352,097,443.33 is the USAspending.gov obligation sum on awards that carry both tags. It is not Other Communications Equipment Manufacturing's nationwide total, not every federal dollar coded to Iowa 2nd District (IA-02), and not an outlay register. The packet does not split residual communications-equipment lines, or contract versus assistance. 102 is an action count: modifications and repeat awards add rows. Unique recipients are unpublished. This cell is not a radio serial list, a named-OEM roster, or a plant census.
Dividing $1,352,097,443.33 by 102 yields about $13,255,857.29 per award on average. That ratio is two packet facts. It is not a typical contract, grant, or benefit line. 102 awards is a moderate manufacturing file, thicker than most one- and two-row cells in this slice. Do not treat IA-02's 334290 cell as a synonym for every Communications Equipment account nationwide. Open /districts/IA-02/ (Iowa 2nd District) for the district table without this NAICS filter, /industries/334290/ (NAICS 334290) for NAICS 334290 without a IA-02 filter, /states/ia/ (Iowa federal spending) for every industry in the Iowa extract, and /ties/ (All spending ties) for the rest of the join list. Quote those hubs as parents, not as addends to $1,352,097,443.33.
NAICS 334290 as the Communications Equipment side
USAspending labels NAICS 334290 as Other Communications Equipment Manufacturing. That code produced $1,352,097,443.33 when crossed with Iowa 2nd District (IA-02) place of performance. The industry-wide 334290 hub does not require IA-02 geography. The district hub does not require Communications Equipment. Only this tie applies both filters, which is why it cites 102 awards. The packet does not split residual communications-equipment lines, or contract versus assistance.
Correlation is not causation: Iowa 2nd District (IA-02) did not cause $1,352,097,443.33 by existing as a large or small place. Population, outcome scores, and named facilities are not packet facts. The join is 334290 × IA-02 only. This cell is not a radio serial list, a named-OEM roster, or a plant census. 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.
Iowa 2nd District (IA-02) as place of performance
Iowa 2nd District (IA-02) on this join is a USAspending geography field, not a claim that every dollar was disbursed to residents of that district. Awards can list IA-02 while later work occurs elsewhere. Awards tagged to other Iowa districts belong on those ties even when the industry is also NAICS 334290. Iowa 2nd District (IA-02) is a numbered place-of-performance stamp inside Iowa. Other Iowa districts are not this join.
/states/ia/ shows how NAICS 334290 sits beside other industries in the same state extract. $1,352,097,443.33 is one district-industry column, not the state table. This packet does not split Iowa 2nd District (IA-02) by county, city, or census tract. Awards that carry a different NAICS stay on those other ties even if the work sounds related to Other Communications Equipment Manufacturing. The district-wide obligation total published here is $13,515,948,904.06; $1,352,097,443.33 is the Communications Equipment slice of that denominator.
Obligations, not outlays
USAspending.gov records an obligation when the federal government commits funds on an award. $1,352,097,443.33 is that kind of sum for Other Communications Equipment Manufacturing inside IA-02 coding. 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 $1,352,097,443.33 as given.
Iowa's own budget is a separate ledger. Mixing it with the 102-row Communications Equipment cell leaves USAspending.gov. Treat 102 as award records in the aggregate, not unique vendors. Do not annualize without a year field in the packet. Do not per-capita or per-recipient the dollar total; those denominators are unpublished. The implied mean ($13,255,857.29) is a concentration statistic, not a typical IA-02 Communications Equipment payment.
How to cite Communications Equipment in IA-02
Cite USAspending.gov: Other Communications Equipment Manufacturing (NAICS 334290) obligated $1,352,097,443.33 on 102 awards coded to Iowa 2nd District (IA-02). Name Other Communications Equipment Manufacturing and Iowa 2nd District (IA-02) together. Keep the obligation word. If /districts/IA-02/ or /industries/334290/ has refreshed, prefer the live hub over this snapshot for current rows. The pair is not a radio serial list, a named-OEM roster, or a plant census. 10.0% of $13,515,948,904.06 is the district share on this packet, not a performance score.
Reading a moderate Communications Equipment file in IA-02
102 awards is a moderate manufacturing file, thicker than most one- and two-row cells in this slice. Do not roll 334290 manufacturing into 811213 repair. Making equipment and repairing equipment are different NAICS. A large row count makes a program split tempting; the packet still does not supply one. A small row count makes a named-facility story tempting; the packet still does not name facilities or contractors. The implied mean (about $13,255,857.29) and the district share (10.0% of $13,515,948,904.06) are ratios of packet facts. Prefer /districts/IA-02/ and /industries/334290/ if the live tables moved. Other communications equipment is a residual Census bucket. This page will not invent a radio-versus-alarm pie.
Questions
- How much Communications Equipment spending is coded to Iowa 2nd District (IA-02)?
- USAspending.gov lists $1,352,097,443.33 in Other Communications Equipment Manufacturing obligations across 102 awards with place of performance in Iowa 2nd District (IA-02). NAICS 334290 × IA-02 is an obligation join, not an outlay and not Iowa's complete federal ledger. The cell is 10.0% of the district's published total ($13,515,948,904.06). Unique recipients are unpublished. Average obligation is about $13,255,857.29, a ratio of those two facts only.
- Does $1,352,097,443.33 include every Communications Equipment program in IA-02?
- The packet publishes one NAICS rollup. The packet does not split residual communications-equipment lines, or contract versus assistance. $1,352,097,443.33 is the combined obligation sum for NAICS 334290 inside IA-02 coding. This page will not invent a program pie or name contractors. Open NAICS 334290 and Iowa 2nd District to inspect parent tables. 102 remains an action count, not a program count.
- Is $1,352,097,443.33 cash already paid in Iowa 2nd District (IA-02)?
- 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 $1,352,097,443.33 as checks already cleared in Iowa 2nd District (IA-02) confuses those terms. Later ingests can revise 102 awards. Prefer the live district and industry hubs if the tables moved.
- Where is the live Communications Equipment–IA-02 table?
- Iowa 2nd District is the district parent and NAICS 334290 is the industry parent. Iowa federal spending covers Iowa without the district×industry intersection as the headline. All spending ties lists other pairs. Those hubs are not addends. Keep both sides of the join when citing $1,352,097,443.33. Place of performance is IA-02. Obligations are not outlays.
