What NAICS 237990 and New Jersey share on one row
NAICS 237990 and place-of-performance state NJ meet here. $365,325,135.49 is the obligation sum on awards that carry both tags. It is not every federal award in New Jersey, not the nationwide Other Heavy And Civil Engineering Construction total, and not cash already paid. New jersey marine-and-civil folklore and statewide other heavy and civil engineering construction stories may send a reader here. Those stories are not a plant list and not a civil-construction actions census. NAICS 237990 is other heavy and civil engineering construction, not highway, street, and bridge construction (237310) and not building construction.
72 award actions sit behind that dollar figure — hundreds of rows beside $365,325,135.49. Hundreds of rows can mix modifications with larger instruments. The join does not rank New Jersey against other states and does not name vendors, facilities, or civil-construction actions inside the extract. Unique recipients are unpublished on this page.
Open New Jersey federal spending for the statewide table, NAICS 237990 for the industry hub without a New Jersey filter, New Jersey industries for other New Jersey industry cells, and All spending ties for other pairs. Do not add those parent pages into $365,325,135.49.
A short heavy-civil list under a New Jersey tag
Dividing $365,325,135.49 by 72 yields about $5,073,960 per award on average. That average hides contracts, grants, and other instruments. It is not a typical civil job. A second 237990 slice on another state uses the same NAICS code and a different dollar total. Do not treat New Jersey's 237990 total as a synonym for every federal heavy civil construction purchase. New jersey marine-and-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. 72 is an award-record count, including modifications, not a count of civil-construction actions and not a unique-firm census. Keep 237990 and NJ as the join key even when a later USAspending ingest restates $365,325,135.49.
NAICS 237990 without a New Jersey overlay is a different total
The NAICS 237990 page aggregates NAICS 237990 without requiring NJ geography. The New Jersey federal spending page aggregates all agencies and industries with New Jersey place of performance. New Jersey industries lists other industry cells in the same state. Only this tie applies both the 237990 filter and the NJ filter, which is why it cites 72 awards and $365,325,135.49.
Place of performance in New Jersey is a USAspending geography field. Awards can list NJ while work occurs in New York or Pennsylvania. 237990 awards coded to those states do not sit in this total even if a vendor's mailroom is in Newark. This packet does not split Newark, Camden, or Trenton. Place of performance is a tag, not proof that every civil-construction action stayed inside New Jersey.
Obligations, not outlays
An obligation is a legal commitment. An outlay is a payment. $365,325,135.49 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 New Jersey over-reads the field. Award count 72 is a record count, not a payment count.
Readers who need transaction-level detail should use New Jersey federal spending, NAICS 237990, and New Jersey industries. All spending ties does not hide a blended statewide total under this slug. Keep the obligation label on $365,325,135.49 in every reuse.
What this New Jersey–237990 pair does not prove
A other heavy and civil engineering construction total in New Jersey does not mean the industry caused New Jersey's industrial mix, and it does not connect these obligations to campaign contributions. Correlation between plant geography and heavy civil construction awards is expected; it is not a finding about readiness, waste, or local employment. FEC individual contributions are a different dataset.
Keep $365,325,135.49 labeled as NAICS 237990 obligations with New Jersey place of performance. An industry name that appears near a donor occupation is a coincidence of labeling, not a cash pipeline into USAspending. New Jersey federal spending still includes other NAICS codes that must not be folded into this cell.
