Other heavy and civil engineering construction federal obligations in Iowa (NAICS 237990)

NAICS 237990 and Iowa as a civil join

This page intersects one six-digit industry and one state. $87,974,744.50 is the obligation sum where both filters are true. NAICS 237990 is other heavy and civil engineering construction, not highway-street-and-bridge construction and not plumbing contractors. It is not a statewide spending total and not a national NAICS 237990 total. Those parent tables live on /states/ia/ and /industries/237990/.

67 awards against about $88.0 million is a sparse-row, thick-dollar civil cell, not a flood of small work orders. 67 is an award-record count. Modifications can sit beside base awards. The packet does not say how many unique vendors produced the 67 lines. Reading 67 as factories, ships, or clinics in Iowa would confuse actions with establishments.

Iowa industries (/states/ia/industries/) lists other NAICS codes with IA place of performance. All spending ties (/ties/) indexes other state–industry pairs. Do not sum those indexes into $87,974,744.50. The headline remains $87,974,744.50 on 67 awards for this pair alone.

Residual heavy civil, not highway construction

NAICS 237990 is a Census industry code assigned on the award. NAICS 237990 is other heavy and civil engineering construction, not highway-street-and-bridge construction and not plumbing contractors. Highway, street, and bridge construction and HVAC contractors are different industry pages. Those neighboring codes never enter $87,974,744.50 unless they also appear as 237990, which they do not. Keep the six-digit label when you cite the Iowa cell.

The residual heavy-civil label gathers projects that are not coded as highways. This extract does not name dams, waterways, or primes. Dividing $87,974,744.50 by 67 produces about $1.31 million. That quotient is arithmetic, not a typical Iowa 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.

Iowa geography on a 237990 cell

Iowa place of performance can cover Des Moines, Cedar Rapids, Davenport, or a reporting address. The packet has no county split. Inside the IA tag, Des Moines, Cedar Rapids, or a named civil jobsite are not broken out. The packet has one state key. A named city can sit inside $87,974,744.50 only if its awards carry NAICS 237990 and IA — which this narrative cannot verify.

Place-of-performance geography is not the same as contractor headquarters. A firm based elsewhere can perform in Iowa, and a Iowa address can appear on work done out of state. This join reports the coded pair, not a logistics map. /states/ia/ remains the statewide parent.

Obligations versus outlays for Iowa 237990

USAspending obligations are commitments, not checks that have cleared. $87,974,744.50 can include amounts that will be paid later, cancelled, or modified. The packet does not publish outlays. 67 is not a payment count. Quote NAICS 237990 in Iowa as obligations and leave fiscal-year folklore off the citation — years are unpublished here.

What the civil–Iowa pair does not prove

The heavy civil construction–Iowa pair does not prove that Iowa specialized in this industry because of federal demand, or the reverse. The residual heavy-civil label gathers projects that are not coded as highways. This extract does not name dams, waterways, or primes. Campaign-finance tables are a different dataset; donations do not fund these awards. Keep both sides of the join in any headline: NAICS 237990 and Iowa.

How to cite NAICS 237990 in Iowa

Cite USAspending.gov, NAICS 237990 (Other Heavy And Civil Engineering Construction), Iowa (IA), $87,974,744.50, and 67 awards. Note that the figures are obligations. Point readers to /states/ia/, /industries/237990/, /states/ia/industries/, and /ties/ rather than collapsing those pages into this cell. Mean per award stays about $1.31 million as a ratio only. Readers who reuse IA heavy civil construction (237990) | $88.0M 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 the named state.
