Other heavy and civil engineering construction federal obligations in Texas

What the 237990–Texas join is

NAICS 237990 and geography TX meet here. $768,186,736.14 is the USAspending.gov obligation sum on awards that carry both tags. It is not the nationwide residual heavy civil book, not Texas’s entire federal inflow, and not an outlay. Highway and water-sewer construction sit on other NAICS codes; 237990 is the residual heavy-civil bucket.

177 awards is a short-to-moderate civil list beside $768,186,736.14. A modest row count can still hold a large commitment if a few marine or industrial-civil vehicles dominate. The packet does not name a ship channel, a lock, or a Corps district inside the extract. Treating 177 as a count of Texas ports would misread award records. Those labels are ordinary speech, not extra packet dollars.

Open Texas federal spending for every industry tagged to the state, NAICS 237990 for 237990 without a Texas filter, Texas industries for other Texas NAICS pairs, and All spending ties for joins outside this residual heavy civil cell. Do not add those parents into $768,186,736.14.

A Gulf and inland civil book, not a metro census

Dividing $768,186,736.14 by 177 awards yields about $4.34 million per award. That mean is a ratio of two packet facts, not a typical Houston ship-channel job and not a typical Dallas inland-civil line. Unique recipients are unpublished. 177 is not a count of projects or channel miles.

Texas geography invites a Gulf Coast versus inland civil story. This extract does not split Houston, Beaumont, or Dallas–Fort Worth. All share TX inside $768,186,736.14. Louisiana’s 237990 cell is a separate join; do not add it here.

Nationwide 237990 without a Texas overlay is a different total

The national industry hub aggregates 237990 across every state. Texas’s statewide hub aggregates every NAICS with an TX tag. Only awards that carry both 237990 and Texas place of performance belong here, which is why this page cites 177 awards and $768,186,736.14.

Place of performance can follow a payee address, in-state work, or a reporting convention. 237990 awards coded to Louisiana, Oklahoma, or New Mexico do not enter this sum even if a contractor’s mailroom sits in Houston. The join cannot re-allocate dollars along a Gulf civil chain.

Obligations, not outlays, on the Texas 237990 cell

An obligation is a legal commitment. An outlay is a payment. $768,186,736.14 is the former. This packet has no outlay total, no fiscal-year split, and no de-obligation history. Citing the figure as fill already placed in Texas over-reads the field. 177 remains an award-record count, not a payment count.

What the Texas–237990 pair does not prove

A large residual heavy civil total in Texas does not mean the code caused Texas’s industry mix, and it does not connect these obligations to campaign contributions. Correlation is not causation. Channel depths and hurricane folklore are not USAspending columns here.

Keep $768,186,736.14 labeled as NAICS 237990 obligations with Texas place of performance. Texas federal spending still includes other industries that must not be folded into this residual heavy civil cell. NAICS 237990 is 237990 without the Texas filter. Texas industries lists sibling Texas codes.

How to cite heavy civil construction in Texas

A clean footnote names NAICS 237990 (residual heavy civil), Texas place of performance, $768,186,736.14 in obligations, and 177 awards on USAspending.gov. Keep the obligation word. Mean dollars per action remain about $4.34 million. Do not merge 237310 into this residual bucket. All spending ties indexes other pairs.

A later ingest can restate $768,186,736.14 without changing the join of 237990 and TX. Texas federal spending still mixes every Texas industry; do not quote that parent as 237990. NAICS 237990 is the national residual heavy civil code without the Texas tag. Texas industries keeps sibling Texas codes unmerged. 177 is a record count, including modifications, not a unique-vendor census. Keep the obligation label on $768,186,736.14. Correlation is not causation. Houston-versus-Dallas folklore is not a metro split in this packet.
