Leftover heavy civil, not highway decks
Highway-and-bridge and bakery codes are different industry pages even when they share a Virginia tag. NAICS 237990 is other heavy and civil engineering construction, not highway construction and not commercial bakeries. Speech often blends neighboring manufacturing or services codes. This table does not. $248,959,577.72 is 237990 only, inside Virginia only.
Other heavy civil engineering is a residual construction label, not a highway NAICS. This extract does not name projects, yards, or primes. About $1.40 million per award comes from dividing $248,959,577.72 by 178. Use that ratio as a scale check, not as a typical Virginia invoice. No median and no fiscal-year slice appear in the facts.
Virginia geography on a 237990 cell
Virginia place of performance can cover Norfolk, Hampton Roads, Arlington, or a reporting address. The packet has no project split. Ordinary maps mention Norfolk, Newport News, or a named civil job. This extract has no such split. All of those places, if they appear at all, share VA inside $248,959,577.72.
A Virginia performance tag can sit on work whose parts, crews, or ships moved through other states. The join reports the tag, not a bill of lading. /states/va/ uses the same place-of-performance rule for every industry on the state hub.
