USAspending's Petroleum Refineries × Tennessee aggregate
NAICS 324110 and place-of-performance state TN meet here. $167,125,109.16 is the obligation sum on awards that carry both tags. It is not nationwide Petroleum Refineries, not Tennessee's entire federal inflow, and not cash already paid. Tennessee 324110 is petroleum refineries, not pipeline construction and not a Memphis barrel census. 324110 is Petroleum Refineries, not pipeline construction (237120) or extraction. Refinery-run and fuel-supply folklore and river-city and auto-corridor folklore may send a reader here. Those stories are not extra packet dollars and not a census of barrels or plants.
808 award actions sit behind that dollar figure — more than a few hundred rows can mix large instruments with smaller service awards. A long row list can mix small support payments with larger instruments. The join does not rank Tennessee against other states and does not name refiners inside the extract. Unique vendors are unpublished.

Average versus typical refined-product or refinery award
Dividing $167,125,109.16 by 808 yields about $206,838.01 per award on average. That average hides contracts, grants, and other instruments. It is not a typical refined-product or refinery award. A second petroleum refineries join in another state uses the same NAICS and a different dollar total. Do not treat Tennessee's 324110 figure as a synonym for every Petroleum Refineries award in the catalog.
Refinery-run and fuel-supply folklore is a coding conversation, not a packet field. Industry titles on NAICS 324110 are the place to see what a given line bought. River-city and auto-corridor folklore may explain a search path. It does not add dollars or refiners.
Tennessee is a geography tag, not a metro split
The industry hub for NAICS 324110 aggregates Petroleum Refineries without requiring TN geography. Tennessee federal spending aggregates all industries with Tennessee place of performance. Tennessee industries lists other NAICS in Tennessee. Only this tie applies both the 324110 filter and the Tennessee geography tag, which is why it cites 808 awards and $167,125,109.16.
Place of performance in Tennessee is a USAspending geography field. Awards can list TN while later refining occurs in Kentucky or Alabama. petroleum refineries awards coded to those places do not sit in this total even if a vendor's mailroom is in Nashville. This packet does not split Nashville from Memphis or Knoxville. Nashville, Memphis, and Knoxville are reader landmarks, not packet subtotals.
De-obligations are not in this packet
An obligation is a legal commitment. An outlay is a payment. $167,125,109.16 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 Tennessee over-reads the field. USAspending.gov NAICS aggregates by place of performance state are the source.
Award count 808 is a record count, not a payment count and not a unique-contractor census. Catalog lines, delivery orders, and modifications can each mint a row. Readers who need transaction-level detail should use Tennessee industries and NAICS 324110. Keep the obligation word on $167,125,109.16.
FEC filings are a different dataset
A large petroleum refineries total in Tennessee does not mean the industry caused Tennessee's fiscal mix, and it does not connect these obligations to campaign contributions. Correlation between river-city and auto-corridor folklore and 324110 awards is expected; it is not a finding about waste or plant quality. No performance metric is in the packet. Tennessee 324110 is petroleum refineries, not pipeline construction and not a Memphis barrel census.
Keep $167,125,109.16 labeled as NAICS 324110 obligations with Tennessee place of performance. FEC individual contributions are a different dataset. Do not claim that donations paid for $167,125,109.16 in Tennessee. No contractor or award-recipient names are in the packet, and none are invented.
Repeating $167,125,109.16 with both filters named
A clean footnote names NAICS 324110 (Petroleum Refineries), Tennessee place of performance, $167,125,109.16 in obligations, and 808 awards on USAspending.gov. Keep the obligation word. Do not call $167,125,109.16 cash outlays. Mean dollars per action remain about $206,838.01 if you divide those two facts — a ratio, not a typical refined-product or refinery award.
Tennessee federal spending, NAICS 324110, Tennessee industries, and All spending ties keep the same unit. A later ingest can restate $167,125,109.16 without changing the join definition. Rewrite only the sentence whose source moved. Nashville-versus-Memphis folklore is not a metro split in this packet. Refiners names belong on the overlay if they appear as recipients; they are not extra packet dollars. Correlation is not causation.
