Plumbing, Heating, And Air-Conditioning Contractors federal obligations in FY2026
USAspending.gov records $178,336,954.64 in Plumbing, Heating, And Air-Conditioning Contractors (NAICS 238220) obligations for fiscal year 2026. About four percent of a $4.31 billion plumbing-HVAC extract is an early FY2026 slice. Plumbing-HVAC is not electrical contractors (238210). That pair is Plumbing, Heating, And Air-Conditioning Contractors (NAICS 238220) and federal fiscal year 2026 — not every federal dollar in FY2026, not Plumbing, Heating, And Air-Conditioning Contractors's $4,310,002,840.16 extract-wide book, and not cash already paid. The cell is 4.1% of this industry's published obligation total. 9,929 is the industry-extract award-record count, not a FY2026-only instrument tally. USAspending.gov is the source. Correlation is not causation.

Reading NAICS 238220 inside FY2026
NAICS 238220 and fiscal year 2026 meet here. $178,336,954.64 is the USAspending.gov obligation sum on the yearlyTrend row that carries both tags. It is not Plumbing, Heating, And Air-Conditioning Contractors's nationwide all-year total of $4,310,002,840.16, not every federal dollar coded to FY2026, and not an outlay register. The packet does not split plumbing from heating from air-conditioning. 9,929 is an industry-extract action count: modifications and repeat awards add rows across years. Unique recipients are unpublished. This cell is not a job-site census, a named-prime roster, or a unit-install log.
Open /industries/238220/ (NAICS 238220) for the industry table without this FY2026 filter, /fiscal-years/2026/ (FY2026 federal spending) for the year table without this NAICS filter, /industries/ (All industries) for every industry, and /ties/ (All spending ties) for the rest of the join list. Quote those hubs as parents, not as addends to $178,336,954.64. Keep 238220 on FY2026. Water-and-sewer construction (237110) is civil construction, not this specialty-trade join.
This page reports plumbing, heating, and air-conditioning contractors activity USAspending tagged to FY2026. The headline $178,336,954.64 sits beside an industry-wide obligation total of $4,310,002,840.16; the 4.1% share is arithmetic on those two packet facts, not a ranking of fiscal years as winners or losers. Obligations are not outlays. Named primes are unpublished. Quote plumbing, heating, and air-conditioning contractors with FY2026.
Industry 238220 without inventing a product pie
USAspending labels NAICS 238220 as Plumbing, Heating, And Air-Conditioning Contractors. That code produced $178,336,954.64 when crossed with fiscal year 2026. The industry-wide 238220 hub does not require a FY2026 filter. The year hub does not require Plumbing & HVAC Contractors. Only this tie applies both filters. The packet does not split plumbing from heating from air-conditioning. Do not forecast the rest of FY2026 from this snapshot. Plumbing, heating, and air-conditioning stay inside one NAICS; this page will not invent that trade pie.
Why this page will not divide $178,336,954.64 by 9,929
9,929 is the Plumbing, Heating, And Air-Conditioning Contractors award-record count published with the industry extract, not a count of FY2026 instruments. Dividing $178,336,954.64 by 9,929 would mix a one-year dollar total with a multi-year row count, so this page does not publish that ratio as a typical invoice. Unique recipients are unpublished. Modifications and multi-year vehicles can add lines without adding vendors. Nine thousand nine hundred twenty-nine industry-extract awards belong to 238220 across years, not to FY2026 as a job-site census. FY2026 figures can be incomplete for the current year, so even the dollar cell may still move.
A thick parent file makes a program split tempting; the packet still does not supply one. A thin parent file makes a named-facility story tempting; the packet still does not name facilities or contractors. 4.1% of $4,310,002,840.16 is the year share on this packet, not a performance score.
What the dollar figure is allowed to mean
USAspending.gov records an obligation when the federal government commits funds on an award. $178,336,954.64 is that kind of sum for Plumbing, Heating, And Air-Conditioning Contractors in FY2026. Later deobligations, recoveries, or payment schedules can change what leaves the Treasury without this join rewriting itself into a cash register. Assistance and contract awards can share the same NAICS rollup; this packet does not split them. Net obligations can include downward adjustments. This page reports $178,336,954.64 as given.
Treat 9,929 as award records on the industry extract, not unique vendors and not a FY2026 headcount. Do not per-capita or per-recipient the dollar total; those denominators are unpublished. FEC contribution tables do not fund these awards. Named primes are unpublished. Quote plumbing, heating, and air-conditioning contractors with FY2026.
Parents of this tie: industry, year, index
Cite USAspending.gov: Plumbing, Heating, And Air-Conditioning Contractors (NAICS 238220) obligated $178,336,954.64 in FY2026. Name Plumbing, Heating, And Air-Conditioning Contractors and FY2026 together. Keep the obligation word. If /industries/238220/ or /fiscal-years/2026/ has refreshed, prefer the live hub over this snapshot for current rows. The pair is not a job-site census, a named-prime roster, or a unit-install log. 4.1% of $4,310,002,840.16 is the industry share on this packet, not a budget score. /industries/ lists other industries; /ties/ indexes other pairs.
Keep Plumbing, Heating, And Air-Conditioning Contractors, FY2026, $178,336,954.64, and the 9,929-record industry extract together without mixing clocks. Do not add those parents to this cell. Sharing a year with Plumbing & HVAC Contractors does not mean campaign donations funded these awards, and it does not convert obligations into outlays. This page reports one USAspending yearlyTrend join. Keep 238220 on FY2026. Water-and-sewer construction (237110) is civil construction, not this specialty-trade join.
Reading a thick Plumbing & HVAC Contractors parent beside FY2026
Nine thousand nine hundred twenty-nine industry-extract awards belong to 238220 across years, not to FY2026 as a job-site census. Keep 238220 on FY2026. Water-and-sewer construction (237110) is civil construction, not this specialty-trade join. A reader who quotes 9,929 as unique companies in FY2026 has left the packet. A reader who treats 4.1% as a hardship or success ranking has added a score the table does not carry. Prefer /industries/238220/ and /fiscal-years/2026/ if the live tables moved. Named primes are unpublished. Quote plumbing, heating, and air-conditioning contractors with FY2026.
This snapshot holds $178,336,954.64 on the yearlyTrend row and 9,929 on the industry extract. /ties/ is the index, not an addend. Obligations are not outlays. Correlation is not causation. A reader who only quotes $178,336,954.64 without FY2026 and NAICS 238220 has dropped a join side.
Questions
- How much Plumbing & HVAC Contractors spending is obligated in FY2026?
- USAspending.gov lists $178,336,954.64 in Plumbing, Heating, And Air-Conditioning Contractors (NAICS 238220) obligations for FY2026. That yearlyTrend amount is 4.1% of the industry's $4,310,002,840.16 extract-wide total. It is an obligation join, not an outlay and not every federal dollar in FY2026. Unique recipients are unpublished.
- Is $178,336,954.64 the entire Plumbing & HVAC Contractors USAspending total?
- No. NAICS 238220's extract-wide total is $4,310,002,840.16. FY2026 is 4.1% of that book. Other fiscal-year rows for the same industry are separate cells. Do not add /industries/238220/ into this join. 9,929 award records stay on the industry extract, not on this yearlyTrend row.
- Is $178,336,954.64 cash already paid in FY2026?
- No. Obligations are commitments recorded on USAspending.gov awards. Outlays — money that actually left the Treasury — are a different concept and are not this packet's headline. Treating $178,336,954.64 as checks already cleared in FY2026 confuses those terms. Prefer the live industry and year hubs if the tables moved.
- Do FEC donations fund these Plumbing & HVAC Contractors awards in FY2026?
- No. FEC receipts and USAspending obligations are different datasets. Sharing a calendar year does not mean donations funded $178,336,954.64 in FY2026. This page reports USAspending.gov NAICS 238220 crossed with fiscal year 2026. It does not report campaign finance. USAspending.gov remains the source for NAICS 238220 in FY2026.
USAspending.gov NAICS yearlyTrend by fiscal year. Obligations are not outlays. FY figures can be incomplete for the current year.
