Other Communications Equipment Manufacturing federal obligations in Iowa

What NAICS 334290 and Iowa share on one row

NAICS 334290 and place-of-performance state IA meet here. $521,171,179.18 is the obligation sum on awards that carry both tags. It is not every federal award in Iowa, not the nationwide Other Communications Equipment Manufacturing total, and not cash already paid. Iowa comms-hardware folklore and statewide other communications equipment manufacturing stories may send a reader here. Those stories are not a plant list and not a equipment actions census. NAICS 334290 is other communications equipment manufacturing, not NAICS 334220 wireless/broadcast gear and not telecom carriers.

161 award actions sit behind that dollar figure — hundreds of rows beside $521,171,179.18. Hundreds of rows can mix modifications with larger instruments. The join does not rank Iowa against other states and does not name vendors, facilities, or equipment actions inside the extract. Unique recipients are unpublished on this page.

Open Iowa federal spending for the statewide table, NAICS 334290 for the industry hub without a Iowa filter, Iowa industries for other Iowa industry cells, and All spending ties for other pairs. Do not add those parent pages into $521,171,179.18.

Other comms-equipment awards under an Iowa tag

Dividing $521,171,179.18 by 161 yields about $3,237,088 per award on average. That average hides contracts, grants, and other instruments. It is not a typical radio rack. A second 334290 slice on another state uses the same NAICS code and a different dollar total. Do not treat Iowa's 334290 total as a synonym for every federal other communications equipment purchase. Iowa comms-hardware folklore is a coding conversation, not a packet field.

Recipient rows live on the industry and state hubs, not in this narrative's extra columns. 161 is an award-record count, including modifications, not a count of equipment actions and not a unique-firm census. Keep 334290 and IA as the join key even when a later USAspending ingest restates $521,171,179.18.

NAICS 334290 without a Iowa overlay is a different total

The NAICS 334290 page aggregates NAICS 334290 without requiring IA geography. The Iowa federal spending page aggregates all agencies and industries with Iowa place of performance. Iowa industries lists other industry cells in the same state. Only this tie applies both the 334290 filter and the IA filter, which is why it cites 161 awards and $521,171,179.18.

Place of performance in Iowa is a USAspending geography field. Awards can list IA while work occurs in Minnesota or Illinois. 334290 awards coded to those states do not sit in this total even if a vendor's mailroom is in Cedar Rapids. This packet does not split Cedar Rapids, Ames, or Davenport. Place of performance is a tag, not proof that every equipment action stayed inside Iowa.

Obligations, not outlays

An obligation is a legal commitment. An outlay is a payment. $521,171,179.18 is the former. This packet has no outlay total, no fiscal-year split, and no de-obligation history. Citing the figure as money already spent in Iowa over-reads the field. Award count 161 is a record count, not a payment count.

Readers who need transaction-level detail should use Iowa federal spending, NAICS 334290, and Iowa industries. All spending ties does not hide a blended statewide total under this slug. Keep the obligation label on $521,171,179.18 in every reuse.

What this Iowa–334290 pair does not prove

A other communications equipment manufacturing total in Iowa does not mean the industry caused Iowa's industrial mix, and it does not connect these obligations to campaign contributions. Correlation between plant geography and other communications equipment awards is expected; it is not a finding about readiness, waste, or local employment. FEC individual contributions are a different dataset.

Keep $521,171,179.18 labeled as NAICS 334290 obligations with Iowa place of performance. An industry name that appears near a donor occupation is a coincidence of labeling, not a cash pipeline into USAspending. Iowa federal spending still includes other NAICS codes that must not be folded into this cell.

How to cite the Iowa–334290 pair

A clean footnote names NAICS 334290 (Other Communications Equipment Manufacturing), Iowa place of performance, $521,171,179.18 in obligations, and 161 awards on USAspending.gov. Keep the obligation word. Do not call $521,171,179.18 cash outlays. Mean dollars per action remain about $3,237,088 if you divide those two facts — a ratio, not a typical radio rack. Iowa federal spending, NAICS 334290, Iowa industries, and All spending ties keep the same unit.

A later ingest can restate $521,171,179.18 without changing the join of 334290 and IA. Rewrite only the sentence whose source moved. Cedar Rapids-versus-Ames folklore is not a metro split in this packet. Do not treat 161 as a unique-firm census. Unique recipients are not published here. Keep NAICS 334290 and IA as the join key. Those stories are not a plant list and not a equipment actions census. Correlation is not causation.

Readers who reuse Iowa comms equipment | USAspending $521.2M should keep both sides of the join in the same sentence, cite USAspending.gov as the source, and treat award rows as records rather than unique vendors. The live hubs linked from this page can refresh the snapshot; 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 Iowa. NAICS 334290 without the IA filter is a different total on NAICS 334290. Statewide spending without the 334290 filter is a different total on Iowa federal spending. Iowa industries keeps sibling Iowa codes unmerged. All spending ties indexes other pairs. Quote 161 awards and $521,171,179.18 together whenever the other communications equipment cell in Iowa is cited.
