Other heavy and civil engineering construction federal obligations in Pennsylvania

What the 237990–Pennsylvania join is

NAICS 237990 and geography PA meet here. $819,662,338.64 is the USAspending.gov obligation sum on awards that carry both tags. It is not the nationwide residual heavy civil book, not Pennsylvania’s entire federal inflow, and not an outlay. Highway and street (237310) and water-and-sewer (237110) construction sit on other codes.

58 awards is a very short civil list beside $819,662,338.64. A handful of rows can still hold a large commitment if a few heavy-construction vehicles dominate. The packet does not name a dam, lock, dredge, or Corps district inside the 58 records. Treating 58 as a count of Pennsylvania dams would misread award records. Those labels are ordinary speech, not extra packet dollars.

Open Pennsylvania federal spending for every industry tagged to the state, NAICS 237990 for 237990 without a Pennsylvania filter, Pennsylvania industries for other Pennsylvania NAICS pairs, and All spending ties for joins outside this residual heavy civil cell. Do not add those parents into $819,662,338.64.

A thin award list next to a large civil total

Dividing $819,662,338.64 by 58 awards yields about $14.13 million per award. That mean is a ratio of two packet facts, not a typical Pittsburgh lock job and not a typical Philadelphia marine-construction line. Unique recipients are unpublished. 58 is not a count of projects or miles.

Pennsylvania geography invites a river-versus-mountain civil story. This extract does not split the Ohio, Susquehanna, or Delaware basins. All share PA inside $819,662,338.64. Louisiana, Washington, Texas, and North Carolina also have 237990 cells; those dollars are not this total.

Nationwide 237990 without a Pennsylvania overlay is a different total

The national industry hub aggregates 237990 across every state. Pennsylvania’s statewide hub aggregates every NAICS with an PA tag. Only awards that carry both 237990 and Pennsylvania place of performance belong here, which is why this page cites 58 awards and $819,662,338.64.

Place of performance can follow a payee address, in-state work, or a reporting convention. 237990 awards coded to Ohio, New Jersey, or New York do not enter this sum even if a contractor’s mailroom sits in Harrisburg. The join cannot re-allocate dollars along a Mid-Atlantic civil chain.

Obligations, not outlays, on the Pennsylvania 237990 cell

An obligation is a legal commitment. An outlay is a payment. $819,662,338.64 is the former. This packet has no outlay total, no fiscal-year split, and no de-obligation history. Citing the figure as concrete already placed in Pennsylvania over-reads the field. 58 remains an award-record count, not a payment count.

What the Pennsylvania–237990 pair does not prove

A large residual heavy civil total in Pennsylvania does not mean the code caused Pennsylvania’s industry mix, and it does not connect these obligations to campaign contributions. Correlation is not causation. Flood maps and lock schedules are not USAspending columns here.

Keep $819,662,338.64 labeled as NAICS 237990 obligations with Pennsylvania place of performance. Pennsylvania federal spending still includes other industries that must not be folded into this residual heavy civil cell. NAICS 237990 is 237990 without the Pennsylvania filter. Pennsylvania industries lists sibling Pennsylvania codes.

How to cite heavy civil construction in Pennsylvania

A clean footnote names NAICS 237990 (residual heavy civil), Pennsylvania place of performance, $819,662,338.64 in obligations, and 58 awards on USAspending.gov. Keep the obligation word. Mean dollars per action remain about $14.13 million. Do not merge 237310 into this residual bucket. All spending ties indexes other pairs.

A later ingest can restate $819,662,338.64 without changing the join of 237990 and PA. Pennsylvania federal spending still mixes every Pennsylvania industry; do not quote that parent as 237990. NAICS 237990 is the national residual heavy civil code without the Pennsylvania tag. Pennsylvania industries keeps sibling Pennsylvania codes unmerged. 58 is a record count, including modifications, not a unique-vendor census. Keep the obligation label on $819,662,338.64. Correlation is not causation. Fifty-eight rows remain a record count, not a unique-project census.

How much has NAICS 237990 obligated in Pennsylvania?

USAspending.gov records $819,662,338.64 in obligations for NAICS 237990 with Pennsylvania place of performance, covering 58 awards. That is an obligation aggregate for the residual heavy civil–Pennsylvania pair, not an outlay figure and not the nationwide 237990 total. Original filings remain on USAspending.gov.

Why so few 237990 awards relative to $820M in Pennsylvania?

The extract lists 58 award actions totaling $819,662,338.64. A short row list can still hold a large dollar total if a few awards dominate. Average obligation per award is about $14.13 million, a ratio, not a typical civil job. Unique recipients are not published on this packet.

Is this Pennsylvania highway construction?

No. Highway and street construction is a different NAICS. This cell is 237990 only, totaling $819,662,338.64 across 58 awards. Water-and-sewer construction is also separate. Quote residual heavy civil and Pennsylvania together without merging those books.

Where are the live Pennsylvania and 237990 tables?

Pennsylvania federal spending shows all industries in the state. NAICS 237990 shows NAICS 237990 without a state filter. Pennsylvania industries lists other Pennsylvania industry pairs. All spending ties lists joins outside this cell. Prefer those hubs after later USAspending ingests.
