NAICS 488190 and Kansas as a air-support join
This page intersects one six-digit industry and one state. $128,057,651.05 is the obligation sum where both filters are true. NAICS 488190 is other support activities for air transportation, not scheduled air transportation and not airport operations. It is not a statewide spending total and not a national NAICS 488190 total. Those parent tables live on Kansas federal spending and NAICS 488190.
512 awards against $128.1 million is a busy residual air-support cell rather than a carrier or airport-ops book. 512 is an award-record count. Modifications can sit beside base awards. The packet does not say how many unique vendors produced the 512 lines. Reading 512 as factories, ships, or clinics in Kansas would confuse actions with establishments.
Kansas industries lists other NAICS codes with KS place of performance. All spending ties indexes other state–industry pairs. Do not sum those indexes into $128,057,651.05. The headline remains $128,057,651.05 on 512 awards for this pair alone.
Residual air support, not airlines or airport ops
NAICS 488190 is a Census industry code assigned on the award. NAICS 488190 is other support activities for air transportation, not scheduled air transportation and not airport operations. Scheduled passenger air transportation (481111) and airport operations (488119) are different codes. Those neighboring codes never enter $128,057,651.05 unless they also appear as 488190, which they do not. Keep the six-digit label when you cite the Kansas cell.
Depot folklore is ordinary speech, not extra packet dollars. Do not treat 488190 as every Kansas aviation NAICS. Unique contractors are unpublished. Dividing $128,057,651.05 by 512 produces about $250,113. That quotient is arithmetic, not a typical Kansas contract. There is no median, no top-award table, and no fiscal-year breakout on this packet. Do not treat the mean as a posted unit price.
Kansas geography on a air-support cell
Kansas place of performance can cover Wichita, Kansas City-area Kansas addresses, or a reporting address near McConnell. The packet has no site split. Inside the KS tag, named cities are not broken out. The packet has one state key. A named city can sit inside $128,057,651.05 only if its awards carry NAICS 488190 and KS — which this narrative cannot verify.
Place-of-performance geography is not the same as contractor headquarters. A firm based elsewhere can perform in Kansas, and a Kansas address can appear on work done out of state. This join reports the coded pair, not a logistics map. Kansas federal spending remains the statewide parent.
Obligations versus outlays for Kansas 488190
USAspending obligations are commitments, not checks that have cleared. $128,057,651.05 can include amounts that will be paid later, cancelled, or modified. The packet does not publish outlays. 512 is not a payment count. Quote NAICS 488190 in Kansas as obligations and leave fiscal-year folklore off the citation — years are unpublished here.
What the air-support–Kansas pair does not prove
The air-support–Kansas pair does not prove that Kansas specialized in this industry because of federal demand, or the reverse. Depot folklore is ordinary speech, not extra packet dollars. Do not treat 488190 as every Kansas aviation NAICS. Unique contractors are unpublished. Campaign-finance tables are a different dataset; donations do not fund these awards. Keep both sides of the join in any headline: NAICS 488190 and Kansas.
How to cite NAICS 488190 in Kansas
Cite USAspending.gov, NAICS 488190 (Other Support Activities For Air Transportation), Kansas (KS), $128,057,651.05, and 512 awards. Note that the figures are obligations. Point readers to Kansas federal spending, NAICS 488190, Kansas industries, and All spending ties rather than collapsing those pages into this cell. Mean per award stays about $250,113 as a ratio only. Readers who reuse this state-industry snapshot should keep both sides of the join in the same sentence, cite USAspending.gov as the source, and treat award rows as records rather than unique vendors. The live hubs linked from this page can refresh the snapshot; this narrative does not invent a fiscal year, a recipient list, or an outlay total that the packet omitted. Place of performance remains a geography tag, not proof that work stayed inside the named state. Keep the obligation word on the headline dollar figure in every footnote.

- How much has NAICS 488190 obligated in Kansas?
- The pair totals $128,057,651.05 across 512 awards, per USAspending.gov NAICS industry aggregates by place of performance state.

- How many air-support awards sit in Kansas?
- 512 award records produced $128,057,651.05. Concentration or dispersion is visible only as that count against that sum. About $250,113 per award is $128,057,651.05 divided by 512, not a typical Kansas purchase. The packet does not list unique recipients or a median award.

- Where are the parent Kansas and NAICS 488190 tables?
- Use Kansas federal spending for the statewide industry mix, NAICS 488190 for the national industry page, Kansas industries for the state NAICS index, and All spending ties for other joins. This page quotes only the 488190 × KS cell. Original filings remain on USAspending.gov.
