Other Heavy And Civil Engineering Construction federal obligations in Michigan (NAICS 237990)

USAspending.gov lists 176 Other Heavy And Civil Engineering Construction awards with Michigan place of performance totaling $149,588,394.51. NAICS 237990 is the industry key on that join.

Key figures

  • $149,588,394.51 is the heavy civil construction–Michigan obligation join.
  • 176 awards sit behind that dollar figure.
  • Not a census of projects or crews.
  • Cite both Other Heavy And Civil Engineering Construction and Michigan whenever you reuse the number.
  • Correlation is not causation.

The NAICS 237990 filter plus Michigan

NAICS 237990 and place-of-performance state MI meet here. $149,588,394.51 is the obligation sum on awards that carry both tags. It is not nationwide Other Heavy And Civil Engineering Construction, not Michigan's entire federal inflow, and not cash already paid. Michigan 237990 is other heavy civil construction, not auto-plant civil work restated as 237310 and not a Detroit crew census. 237990 is Other Heavy And Civil Engineering Construction, not highway construction (237310) or pipeline construction (237120). Dam, marine, and specialty-civil folklore and auto-corridor and Upper Peninsula folklore may send a reader here. Those stories are not extra packet dollars and not a census of projects or crews.

176 award actions sit behind that dollar figure — a modest award list beside a large obligation total. A mid-size row list can mix large instruments with smaller service awards. The join does not rank Michigan against other states and does not name heavy-civil contractors inside the extract. Unique vendors are unpublished.

Open Michigan federal spending for the statewide rollup, NAICS 237990 for the industry hub, Michigan industries for other NAICS in the same geography, and All spending ties for other pairs. Quote those hubs as parents, not as addends to $149,588,394.51.

Mean obligation of about $849,934.06

Dividing $149,588,394.51 by 176 yields about $849,934.06 per award on average. That average hides contracts, grants, and other instruments. It is not a typical heavy-civil or specialty-construction award. A second heavy civil construction join in another state uses the same NAICS and a different dollar total. Do not treat Michigan's 237990 figure as a synonym for every Other Heavy And Civil Engineering Construction award in the catalog.

Dam, marine, and specialty-civil folklore is a coding conversation, not a packet field. Industry titles on NAICS 237990 are the place to see what a given line bought. Auto-corridor and upper peninsula folklore may explain a search path. It does not add dollars or heavy-civil contractors.

Place of performance versus heavy civil construction folklore

The industry hub for NAICS 237990 aggregates Other Heavy And Civil Engineering Construction without requiring MI geography. Michigan federal spending aggregates all industries with Michigan place of performance. Michigan industries lists other NAICS in Michigan. Only this tie applies both the 237990 filter and the Michigan geography tag, which is why it cites 176 awards and $149,588,394.51.

Place of performance in Michigan is a USAspending geography field. Awards can list MI while later civil construction occurs in Ohio or Indiana. heavy civil construction awards coded to those places do not sit in this total even if a vendor's mailroom is in Detroit. This packet does not split Detroit from Grand Rapids or Lansing. Detroit, Grand Rapids, and Lansing are reader landmarks, not packet subtotals.

The obligation field

An obligation is a legal commitment. An outlay is a payment. $149,588,394.51 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 Michigan over-reads the field. USAspending.gov NAICS aggregates by place of performance state are the source.

Award count 176 is a record count, not a payment count and not a unique-contractor census. Catalog lines, delivery orders, and modifications can each mint a row. Readers who need transaction-level detail should use Michigan industries and NAICS 237990. Keep the obligation word on $149,588,394.51.

What the join is not

A large heavy civil construction total in Michigan does not mean the industry caused Michigan's fiscal mix, and it does not connect these obligations to campaign contributions. Correlation between auto-corridor and Upper Peninsula folklore and 237990 awards is expected; it is not a finding about waste or plant quality. No performance metric is in the packet. Michigan 237990 is other heavy civil construction, not auto-plant civil work restated as 237310 and not a Detroit crew census.

Keep $149,588,394.51 labeled as NAICS 237990 obligations with Michigan place of performance. FEC individual contributions are a different dataset. Do not claim that donations paid for $149,588,394.51 in Michigan. No contractor or award-recipient names are in the packet, and none are invented.

Citing $149,588,394.51 without over-reading it

A clean footnote names NAICS 237990 (Other Heavy And Civil Engineering Construction), Michigan place of performance, $149,588,394.51 in obligations, and 176 awards on USAspending.gov. Keep the obligation word. Do not call $149,588,394.51 cash outlays. Mean dollars per action remain about $849,934.06 if you divide those two facts — a ratio, not a typical heavy-civil or specialty-construction award.

Michigan federal spending, NAICS 237990, Michigan industries, and All spending ties keep the same unit. A later ingest can restate $149,588,394.51 without changing the join definition. Rewrite only the sentence whose source moved. Detroit-versus-Grand Rapids folklore is not a metro split in this packet. Heavy-civil contractors names belong on the overlay if they appear as recipients; they are not extra packet dollars. Correlation is not causation.
