Petroleum Refineries federal obligations in Louisiana

What NAICS 324110 and Louisiana share on one row

NAICS 324110 and place-of-performance state LA meet here. $358,185,279.77 is the obligation sum on awards that carry both tags. It is not every federal award in Louisiana, not the nationwide Petroleum Refineries total, and not cash already paid. Louisiana refining-corridor folklore and statewide petroleum refineries stories may send a reader here. Those stories are not a plant list and not a refinery actions census. NAICS 324110 is petroleum refineries, not petroleum wholesale, pipelines, or retail gasoline.

10,921 award actions sit behind that dollar figure — tens of thousands of rows beside $358,185,279.77. A thick book is a record count, not a unique-vendor census. The join does not rank Louisiana against other states and does not name vendors, facilities, or refinery actions inside the extract. Unique recipients are unpublished on this page.

Open Louisiana federal spending for the statewide table, NAICS 324110 for the industry hub without a Louisiana filter, Louisiana industries for other Louisiana industry cells, and All spending ties for other pairs. Do not add those parent pages into $358,185,279.77.

A thick refining book under a Louisiana tag

Dividing $358,185,279.77 by 10,921 yields about $32,798 per award on average. That average hides contracts, grants, and other instruments. It is not a typical product order. A second 324110 slice on another state uses the same NAICS code and a different dollar total. Do not treat Louisiana's 324110 total as a synonym for every federal petroleum refineries purchase. Louisiana refining-corridor folklore is a coding conversation, not a packet field.

Recipient rows live on the industry and state hubs, not in this narrative's extra columns. 10,921 is an award-record count, including modifications, not a count of refinery actions and not a unique-firm census. Keep 324110 and LA as the join key even when a later USAspending ingest restates $358,185,279.77.

NAICS 324110 without a Louisiana overlay is a different total

The NAICS 324110 page aggregates NAICS 324110 without requiring LA geography. The Louisiana federal spending page aggregates all agencies and industries with Louisiana place of performance. Louisiana industries lists other industry cells in the same state. Only this tie applies both the 324110 filter and the LA filter, which is why it cites 10,921 awards and $358,185,279.77.

Place of performance in Louisiana is a USAspending geography field. Awards can list LA while work occurs in Texas or Mississippi. 324110 awards coded to those states do not sit in this total even if a vendor's mailroom is in Baton Rouge. This packet does not split Baton Rouge, Lake Charles, or New Orleans. Place of performance is a tag, not proof that every refinery action stayed inside Louisiana.

Obligations, not outlays

An obligation is a legal commitment. An outlay is a payment. $358,185,279.77 is the former. This packet has no outlay total, no fiscal-year split, and no de-obligation history. Citing the figure as money already spent in Louisiana over-reads the field. Award count 10,921 is a record count, not a payment count.

Readers who need transaction-level detail should use Louisiana federal spending, NAICS 324110, and Louisiana industries. All spending ties does not hide a blended statewide total under this slug. Keep the obligation label on $358,185,279.77 in every reuse.

What this Louisiana–324110 pair does not prove

A petroleum refineries total in Louisiana does not mean the industry caused Louisiana's industrial mix, and it does not connect these obligations to campaign contributions. Correlation between plant geography and petroleum refineries awards is expected; it is not a finding about readiness, waste, or local employment. FEC individual contributions are a different dataset.

Keep $358,185,279.77 labeled as NAICS 324110 obligations with Louisiana place of performance. An industry name that appears near a donor occupation is a coincidence of labeling, not a cash pipeline into USAspending. Louisiana federal spending still includes other NAICS codes that must not be folded into this cell.

How to cite the Louisiana–324110 pair

A clean footnote names NAICS 324110 (Petroleum Refineries), Louisiana place of performance, $358,185,279.77 in obligations, and 10,921 awards on USAspending.gov. Keep the obligation word. Do not call $358,185,279.77 cash outlays. Mean dollars per action remain about $32,798 if you divide those two facts — a ratio, not a typical product order. Louisiana federal spending, NAICS 324110, Louisiana industries, and All spending ties keep the same unit.

A later ingest can restate $358,185,279.77 without changing the join of 324110 and LA. Rewrite only the sentence whose source moved. Baton Rouge-versus-Lake Charles folklore is not a metro split in this packet. Do not treat 10,921 as a unique-firm census. Unique recipients are not published here. Keep NAICS 324110 and LA as the join key. Those stories are not a plant list and not a refinery actions census. Correlation is not causation.

Readers who reuse LA petroleum refineries | USAspending $358.2M 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 Louisiana. NAICS 324110 without the LA filter is a different total on NAICS 324110. Statewide spending without the 324110 filter is a different total on Louisiana federal spending. Louisiana industries keeps sibling Louisiana codes unmerged. All spending ties indexes other pairs. Quote 10,921 awards and $358,185,279.77 together whenever the petroleum refineries cell in Louisiana is cited.
