Other Heavy And Civil Engineering Construction federal obligations in Missouri
USAspending.gov records $351,481,460.99 in Other Heavy And Civil Engineering Construction (NAICS 237990) obligations with Missouri place of performance, across 140 awards. That pair is an industry code crossed with a geography filter, not a national civil-works budget. Average obligation per award is about $2,510,581.86 — a ratio of two packet facts, not a typical levee contract.
Key figures
- NAICS 237990 in Missouri: $351,481,460.99 across 140 awards.
- Average obligation per award is about $2,510,581.86.
- The total is obligations, not outlays, and not nationwide Heavy civil construction.
- MO is place of performance, not a river-only split.
What NAICS 237990 and Missouri share on one row
NAICS 237990 and place-of-performance state MO meet here. $351,481,460.99 is the obligation sum on awards that carry both tags. It is not every federal award in Missouri, not the nationwide Other Heavy And Civil Engineering Construction total, and not cash already paid. River, levee, and statewide heavy-civil folklore may send a reader here. Those stories are not a project list and not a mile census.
140 award actions sit behind that dollar figure — a relatively short award list beside a nine-figure obligation total. A relatively short row list can still mix large instruments with smaller modifications. The join does not rank Missouri against other states and does not name projects inside the extract.

140 heavy-civil actions under a Missouri geography tag
Dividing $351,481,460.99 by 140 yields about $2,510,581.86 per award on average. That average hides contracts, grants, and other instruments. It is not a typical levee contract. NAICS 237990 is other heavy and civil engineering construction, not highway-and-bridge (237310) and not water-and-sewer (237110). Those codes sit on other industry hubs. Do not collapse them because all three can appear in the same state.
River, levee, 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 Missouri overlay is a different total
The NAICS 237990 page aggregates NAICS 237990 without requiring MO geography. The Missouri federal spending page aggregates all agencies and industries with Missouri place of performance. Missouri industries lists other industry cells in the same state. Only this tie applies both the 237990 filter and the MO filter, which is why it cites 140 awards and $351,481,460.99.
Place of performance in Missouri is a USAspending geography field. Awards can list MO while work occurs in Illinois or Kansas. 237990 awards coded to those states do not sit in this total even if a contractor's mailroom is in St. Louis. This packet does not split St. Louis from Kansas City or Springfield.
Obligations, not outlays
An obligation is a legal commitment. An outlay is a payment. $351,481,460.99 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 Missouri over-reads the field.
Award count 140 is a record count, not a payment count. Readers who need transaction-level detail should use Missouri federal spending, NAICS 237990, and Missouri 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 Missouri does not mean contractors caused Missouri's infrastructure mix, and it does not connect these obligations to campaign contributions. Correlation between river geography and civil awards is expected; it is not a finding about flood control or waste.
Keep $351,481,460.99 labeled as NAICS 237990 obligations with Missouri 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 Missouri-237990 pair
A clean footnote names NAICS 237990 (Other Heavy And Civil Engineering Construction), Missouri place of performance, $351,481,460.99 in obligations, and 140 awards on USAspending.gov. Keep the obligation word. Do not call $351,481,460.99 cash outlays. Mean dollars per action remain about $2,510,581.86 if you divide those two facts — a ratio, not a typical levee contract.
Missouri federal spending, NAICS 237990, Missouri industries, and All spending ties keep the same unit. A later ingest can restate $351,481,460.99 without changing the join definition. Rewrite only the sentence whose source moved. St. Louis-versus-Kansas City folklore is not a metro split in this packet. 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.
