Iowa and NAICS 488190 as an air-support join
This page intersects other support activities for air transportation and Iowa place of performance. $30,764,374.75 is the obligation sum where both filters are true. NAICS 488190 is a residual air-support code, not scheduled passenger service and not charter freight (481212). It is not Iowa’s statewide spending total and not a national 488190 total. Those parent tables live on Iowa federal spending and NAICS 488190.
49 is an award-record count. Modifications can sit beside base awards. The packet does not name airports, hangars, or primes. Reading 49 as the number of aviation-support firms in Iowa would confuse actions with establishments.
Iowa industries lists other NAICS codes with IA place of performance. All spending ties indexes other state–industry pairs. Do not sum those indexes into $30,764,374.75.
Air-support residual, not manufacturing
USAspending labels NAICS 488190 as Other Support Activities For Air Transportation. Electronic computer manufacturing and heavy-duty truck manufacturing have their own Iowa overlays on this slice; those codes are not rolled into $30,764,374.75. The industry hub for NAICS 488190 does not require Iowa.
The packet names no services beyond the NAICS title. Award titles on the NAICS 488190 page are the place to see what a given line bought. Do not treat the overlay as a statewide airport census.
Place of performance in Iowa
Iowa on this join is a geography field, not a Des Moines airport-only overlay. Place of performance can list IA while later work occurs in Illinois, Minnesota, or Nebraska; those states are not inside this total unless also coded IA. The packet does not split airports or counties.
The state hub for Iowa shows how 488190 sits beside other industries with IA place of performance. Awards can list Iowa while headquarters sit elsewhere.
49 awards and a large mean
Dividing $30,764,374.75 by 49 yields about $627,844 per award on average. That ratio is packet arithmetic, not a typical hangar invoice. Award count 49 is a record count, not a payment count. Readers who need transaction-level detail should use Iowa industries and the NAICS 488190 hub.
An obligation is a legal commitment. $30,764,374.75 is that kind of sum. This packet has no outlay total and no fiscal-year split. Citing the figure as cash already spent in Iowa over-reads the field.
What this pair does not prove
An air-support NAICS plus Iowa is not a passenger ranking or a claim that campaign contributions funded the awards. FEC filings and USAspending awards are different datasets. Keep $30,764,374.75 labeled as NAICS 488190 obligations with Iowa place of performance.
A later ingest can restate the dollars or the 49 count without changing the join key of NAICS 488190 and IA. Correlation is not causation.
