Petroleum Refineries federal obligations in North Carolina (NAICS 324110)

NAICS 324110 and North Carolina as a refinery join

This page intersects one six-digit industry and one state. $68,420,057.93 is the obligation sum where both filters are true. NAICS 324110 is petroleum refineries, not construction-machinery manufacturing and not surgical-appliance manufacturing. It is not a statewide spending total and not a national NAICS 324110 total. Those parent tables live on /states/nc/ and /industries/324110/.

21,818 awards against about $68.4 million is a catalog-style fuel cell: many actions, a modest implied mean. 21,818 is an award-record count. Modifications can sit beside base awards. The packet does not say how many unique vendors produced the 21,818 lines. Reading 21,818 as factories, ships, or clinics in North Carolina would confuse actions with establishments.

North Carolina industries (/states/nc/industries/) lists other NAICS codes with NC place of performance. All spending ties (/ties/) indexes other state–industry pairs. Do not sum those indexes into $68,420,057.93. The headline remains $68,420,057.93 on 21,818 awards for this pair alone.

Petroleum refineries, not construction machinery

NAICS 324110 is a Census industry code assigned on the award. NAICS 324110 is petroleum refineries, not construction-machinery manufacturing and not surgical-appliance manufacturing. Construction-machinery manufacturing and surgical-appliance manufacturing are different industry pages. Those neighboring codes never enter $68,420,057.93 unless they also appear as 324110, which they do not. Keep the six-digit label when you cite the North Carolina cell.

A 21,818-line refinery book often mixes delivery orders and modifications. This extract does not name refineries, fuels, or primes. Dividing $68,420,057.93 by 21,818 produces about $3,136. That quotient is arithmetic, not a typical North Carolina 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.

North Carolina geography on a 324110 cell

North Carolina place of performance can cover the Piedmont, coastal terminals, or a reporting address. The packet has no terminal split. Inside the NC tag, Wilmington, Charlotte, or a named terminal are not broken out. The packet has one state key. A named city can sit inside $68,420,057.93 only if its awards carry NAICS 324110 and NC — which this narrative cannot verify.

Place-of-performance geography is not the same as contractor headquarters. A firm based elsewhere can perform in North Carolina, and a North Carolina address can appear on work done out of state. This join reports the coded pair, not a logistics map. /states/nc/ remains the statewide parent.

Obligations versus outlays for North Carolina 324110

USAspending obligations are commitments, not checks that have cleared. $68,420,057.93 can include amounts that will be paid later, cancelled, or modified. The packet does not publish outlays. 21,818 is not a payment count. Quote NAICS 324110 in North Carolina as obligations and leave fiscal-year folklore off the citation — years are unpublished here.

What the refinery–North Carolina pair does not prove

The petroleum refineries–North Carolina pair does not prove that North Carolina specialized in this industry because of federal demand, or the reverse. A 21,818-line refinery book often mixes delivery orders and modifications. This extract does not name refineries, fuels, or primes. Campaign-finance tables are a different dataset; donations do not fund these awards. Keep both sides of the join in any headline: NAICS 324110 and North Carolina.

How to cite NAICS 324110 in North Carolina

Cite USAspending.gov, NAICS 324110 (Petroleum Refineries), North Carolina (NC), $68,420,057.93, and 21,818 awards. Note that the figures are obligations. Point readers to /states/nc/, /industries/324110/, /states/nc/industries/, and /ties/ rather than collapsing those pages into this cell. Mean per award stays about $3,136 as a ratio only. Readers who reuse NC petroleum refineries (324110) | $68.4M 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.
