Other Heavy And Civil Engineering Construction federal obligations in Hawaii

USAspending.gov records $339,968,722.60 in Other Heavy And Civil Engineering Construction (NAICS 237990) obligations with Hawaii place of performance, across 27 awards. That is a high dollar total on a short row list. Average obligation per award is about $12,591,434.17 — a ratio of two packet facts, not a typical harbor contract.

Key figures

  • NAICS 237990 in Hawaii: $339,968,722.60 across 27 awards.
  • Average obligation per award is about $12,591,434.17.
  • The total is obligations, not outlays, and not nationwide Heavy civil construction.
  • HI is place of performance, not an Oahu-only split.

What NAICS 237990 and Hawaii share on one row

NAICS 237990 and place-of-performance state HI meet here. $339,968,722.60 is the obligation sum on awards that carry both tags. It is not every federal award in Hawaii, not the nationwide Other Heavy And Civil Engineering Construction total, and not cash already paid. Harbor, coastal, and statewide heavy-civil folklore may send a reader here. Those stories are not a project list and not an island census.

27 award actions sit behind that dollar figure — a short award list beside a nine-figure obligation total. A few large awards can dominate a dollar total even when the row count looks tiny. The join does not rank Hawaii against other states and does not name harbors inside the extract.

Open Hawaii federal spending for the filtered table, NAICS 237990 for the next hub, Hawaii industries for the remaining hub, and All spending ties for other pairs.

27 heavy-civil actions under a Hawaii geography tag

Dividing $339,968,722.60 by 27 yields about $12,591,434.17 per award on average. That average hides contracts, grants, and other instruments. It is not a typical harbor contract. NAICS 237990 is other heavy and civil engineering construction, not highway-and-bridge (237310). Those codes sit on other industry hubs. Do not collapse them because both can appear in the same state.

Harbor, coastal, and statewide heavy-civil 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.

NAICS 237990 without a Hawaii overlay is a different total

The NAICS 237990 page aggregates NAICS 237990 without requiring HI geography. The Hawaii federal spending page aggregates all agencies and industries with Hawaii place of performance. Hawaii industries lists other industry cells in the same state. Only this tie applies both the 237990 filter and the HI filter, which is why it cites 27 awards and $339,968,722.60.

Place of performance in Hawaii is a USAspending geography field. Awards can list HI while work occurs on the mainland. 237990 awards coded to other states do not sit in this total even if a contractor's mailroom is in Honolulu. This packet does not split Honolulu from Hilo or Kauai.

Obligations, not outlays

An obligation is a legal commitment. An outlay is a payment. $339,968,722.60 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 Hawaii over-reads the field.

Award count 27 is a record count, not a payment count. Readers who need transaction-level detail should use Hawaii federal spending, NAICS 237990, and Hawaii industries. All spending ties does not hide a blended statewide total under this slug.

What this pair does not prove

A large 237990 total in Hawaii does not mean contractors caused Hawaii's infrastructure mix, and it does not connect these obligations to campaign contributions. Correlation between island geography and civil awards is expected; it is not a finding about harbor quality or waste.

Keep $339,968,722.60 labeled as NAICS 237990 obligations with Hawaii place of performance. FEC individual contributions are a different dataset. An industry name that appears near a donor occupation is a coincidence of labeling, not a cash pipeline into USAspending.

How to cite the Hawaii-237990 pair

A clean footnote names NAICS 237990 (Other Heavy And Civil Engineering Construction), Hawaii place of performance, $339,968,722.60 in obligations, and 27 awards on USAspending.gov. Keep the obligation word. Do not call $339,968,722.60 cash outlays. Mean dollars per action remain about $12,591,434.17 if you divide those two facts — a ratio, not a typical harbor contract.

Hawaii federal spending, NAICS 237990, Hawaii industries, and All spending ties keep the same unit. A later ingest can restate $339,968,722.60 without changing the join definition. Rewrite only the sentence whose source moved. Honolulu-versus-neighbor-island folklore is not a county split in this packet. A short award list is still a record count, including modifications. Project names belong on the overlay if they appear as recipients; they are not extra packet dollars. Keep the obligation label in every reuse. Correlation is not causation.
