A place-of-performance join: Heavy Civil Construction × VA-03
NAICS 237990 and congressional district VA-03 meet here. $1,078,918,799.34 is the USAspending.gov obligation sum on awards that carry both tags. It is not Other Heavy And Civil Engineering Construction's nationwide total, not every federal dollar coded to Virginia 3rd District (VA-03), and not an outlay register. The packet does not split marine, dam, or other heavy-civil subtypes inside 237990, and it does not split contract versus assistance. 27 is an action count: modifications and repeat awards add rows. Unique recipients are unpublished. This cell is not a named-project roster, a cubic-yard ledger, or a dredge-permit file.
Dividing $1,078,918,799.34 by 27 yields about $39,959,955.53 per award on average. That ratio is two packet facts. It is not a typical civil contract, dredge line, or heavy-construction award. Twenty-seven awards is a modest award file. Do not treat VA-03's 237990 cell as a synonym for every Heavy Civil Construction account nationwide. Open Virginia 3rd District (/districts/VA-03/) for the district table without this industry filter, NAICS 237990 (/industries/237990/) for NAICS 237990 without the VA-03 filter, Virginia federal spending (/states/va/) for every industry in the Virginia extract, and All spending ties (/ties/) for the rest of the join list. Quote those hubs as parents, not as addends to $1,078,918,799.34.
Other Heavy And Civil Engineering Construction as a NAICS rollup, not a named-vendor list
USAspending labels industry 237990 as Other Heavy And Civil Engineering Construction. That code produced $1,078,918,799.34 when crossed with Virginia 3rd District (VA-03) place of performance. The industry-wide 237990 hub does not require VA-03 geography. The district hub does not require Heavy Civil Construction. Only this tie applies both filters, which is why it cites 27 awards. The packet does not split marine, dam, or other heavy-civil subtypes inside 237990, and it does not split contract versus assistance.
Correlation is not causation: Virginia 3rd District (VA-03) did not cause $1,078,918,799.34 by existing as a large or small place. Population, outcome scores, and named facilities are not packet facts. The join is 237990 × VA-03 only. This cell is not a named-project roster, a cubic-yard ledger, or a dredge-permit file. Do not invent contractors or award recipients to fill the gap. Campaign donations on FEC tables do not fund this USAspending cell; the datasets are separate.
Place of performance for Virginia 3rd District (VA-03)
Virginia 3rd District (VA-03) on this join is a USAspending geography field, not a claim that every dollar was disbursed to residents of that district. Awards can list VA-03 while later work occurs elsewhere. Awards tagged to other Virginia districts belong on those ties even when the industry is also 237990. Virginia 3rd District (VA-03) is a numbered congressional place-of-performance code inside Virginia. Other Virginia districts are separate joins even when they reuse NAICS 237990. Confusing this join with Virginia statewide 237990 totals or Virginia 3rd's building-construction (236220) cell would be a different overlay.
Obligation math for this join
USAspending.gov records an obligation when the federal government commits funds on an award. $1,078,918,799.34 is that kind of sum for Other Heavy And Civil Engineering Construction inside VA-03 coding. Later deobligations, recoveries, or payment schedules can change what leaves the Treasury without this join rewriting itself into a cash register. Assistance and contract awards can share the same industry rollup; this packet does not split them. Net obligations can include downward adjustments. This page reports $1,078,918,799.34 as given.
Virginia's own budget is a separate ledger. Mixing it with the 27-row Heavy Civil Construction cell leaves USAspending.gov. Treat 27 as award records in the aggregate, not unique vendors. Do not annualize without a year field in the packet. Do not per-capita or per-recipient the dollar total; those denominators are unpublished. The implied mean ($39,959,955.53) is a concentration statistic, not a typical VA-03 Heavy Civil Construction payment.

If Virginia 3rd District or NAICS 237990 has refreshed, prefer the live hub over this snapshot for current rows. The pair is not a named-project roster, a cubic-yard ledger, or a dredge-permit file. 1.2% of $91,489,301,996.56 is the district share on this packet, not a performance score.
What this packet refuses to infer
Twenty-seven awards is a modest award file. Volume can hide a few large assistance lines; the packet does not identify them. Unique recipients are unpublished. A large row count makes a product split tempting; the packet still does not supply one. A small row count makes a named-facility story tempting; the packet still does not name facilities or contractors. The implied mean (about $39,959,955.53) and the district share (1.2% of $91,489,301,996.56) are ratios of packet facts. Prefer Virginia 3rd District and NAICS 237990 if the live tables moved.
Do not rank Virginia 3rd District (VA-03) as more Heavy Civil Construction-dependent than neighboring districts on the strength of this cell alone. Neighboring geographies have their own 237990 ties with different dollar totals, or no published 237990 cell in this harvest. This snapshot holds $1,078,918,799.34 and 27 only. All spending ties is the index, not an addend. Obligations are not outlays. Correlation is not causation. Virginia 3rd District (VA-03) carries a large all-industry district book; this 237990 slice is one NAICS column inside that denominator. Commercial building construction is a different code. Do not rank VA-03 as a civil-works winner.
