Plumbing, Heating, And Air-Conditioning Contractors federal obligations in Kentucky

Kentucky x 238220 is an industry join, not a job census

This page pairs NAICS 238220, PLUMBING, HEATING, AND AIR-CONDITIONING CONTRACTORS, with Kentucky place of performance. The code covers plumbing, heating, and air-conditioning contractors, not HVAC equipment manufacturing and not building construction as a whole. SpendingVault sums tagged obligations: $70,576,696.70 on 137 awards. The extract does not list jobs, buildings, or tonnage. Treat the pair as a catalog intersection, not a ranking of which state installs more HVAC, and not a claim that 137 awards equal 137 jobs.

Other related listings — electrical contractors, building construction, or HVAC equipment manufacturing — sit outside $70,576,696.70 unless they also carry 238220. Mixing HVAC contractors with equipment manufacturing would invent a combined mechanical figure the packet never computed. Correlation between this obligation sum and building-permit counts is not causation. Building-permit counts are not in the packet. Place of performance as Kentucky locates the tagged awards; it does not deposit $70,576,696.70 in a state facilities account.

137 awards behind $70.6 million

Award count is a row count of tagged awards, including possible modifications and delivery orders. It is not a census of plants, sites, or contractors. Mean obligation is about $515,158 if $70,576,696.70 were divided evenly across 137 lines — a mechanical ratio, not a typical mechanical-contractor award, and not a published unit price. The packet has no plumbing-versus-HVAC split inside 238220.

One hundred thirty-seven lines are too many to narrate one by one. Sort the Kentucky 238220 overlay by amount to see concentration. This page will not invent contractor names. Open NAICS 238220 for the national listing and Kentucky industries for other codes. Do not convert 137 into a map of job sites. The $70,576,696.70 total remains an obligation rollup on tagged awards.

What NAICS 238220 covers in this extract

The listing title is Plumbing, Heating, And Air-Conditioning Contractors. This extract does not split plumbing from HVAC work, nor does it split new construction from retrofit. Those cuts would require award documentation beyond dollars, 137 awards, NAICS 238220, and Kentucky. This page will not invent a product-line share.

Obligations are recorded commitments. Outlays are payments from the Treasury. The $70,576,696.70 headline is the obligation sum, not systems already installed and not a fiscal-year outlay total. No fiscal year is attached. A facilities press release dated to a particular year is not automatically this join unless it uses NAICS 238220, Kentucky geography, and the obligation metric.

What the Kentucky HVAC contractors table omits

The extract has no employment count, no job list, and no tonnage inventory. Facts remain $70,576,696.70, 137 awards, NAICS 238220, and Kentucky. This page will not invent a ranking against other states' 238220 joins. Defense facilities and civilian public buildings can both sit in the file; the extract does not label them.

Kentucky federal spending and Kentucky industries place 238220 among other codes. NAICS 238220 is the national catalog line. All spending ties indexes other industry-by-state pairs. Mixing those shelves would invent a share of Kentucky specialty trades the packet never computed. The $70,576,696.70 figure is the tagged pair only.

Where the 238220 x Kentucky overlay lives

Start with Kentucky federal spending for statewide context and NAICS 238220 for the nationwide industry listing. Kentucky industries lists other codes with Kentucky place of performance. All spending ties is the shelf for other NAICS x state pairs on the same obligation metric. One hundred thirty-seven awards are tagged rows, not a jobs census. Names behind the rows are not in this packet.

Readers who need a different industry or a different state should leave this URL rather than adding numbers by hand. The $70,576,696.70 figure is the tagged NAICS 238220 × Kentucky pair only. USAspending.gov remains the source; SpendingVault republishes the join. Place of performance is a geography tag on awards, not proof that every dollar stayed inside Kentucky after obligation. If a later extract revises the rollup, this page's facts will be stale until the packet is rebuilt. Do not annualize $70,576,696.70 into a per-year run rate: no fiscal year is in the facts.

How to read the Kentucky × NAICS 238220 pair

A ties page exists because two tables meet. One table is the industry code (NAICS 238220). The other is place of performance as Kentucky. The headline $70,576,696.70 is the obligation sum on that intersection. It is not a forecast, not a budget request, and not an outlay. It is also not a claim that NAICS 238220 caused Kentucky's economy to grow, or that Kentucky caused NAICS 238220 awards to exist. Correlation between geography and a catalog code is the join — nothing more.

Use the internal links to step off this pair: the statewide spending shelf, the national industry listing, the state's other industry pages, and the ties index. Each of those pages uses the same obligation metric unless a page says otherwise. If you need award-level names, open the overlay or the stored table rather than treating this narrative as a recipient directory. If you need a different metric — outlays, current-year only, or a different geography — that metric is not in this packet.

Questions

How much federal money is obligated to HVAC contractors in Kentucky?

USAspending.gov shows $70,576,696.70 in obligations for NAICS 238220 with Kentucky as place of performance, across 137 awards. The sum is a commitment total, not outlays and not Kentucky's full building-mechanical economy. HVAC equipment manufacturing and general building construction sit outside this join unless they also carry 238220.

Do 137 awards mean 137 Kentucky mechanical jobs?

No. Award count is a row count of tagged awards and can include modifications and delivery orders. It is not a job or building census. The packet does not name contractors. See NAICS 238220 and Kentucky industries for the stored shelves. Open NAICS 238220 and Kentucky industries for the stored shelves on the same obligation metric.

Is this Kentucky's entire federal facilities spending?

No. The join is NAICS 238220, Plumbing, Heating, And Air-Conditioning Contractors, crossed with Kentucky place of performance. Electrical trades, general construction, and equipment manufacturing use different listings. Those dollars are not inside $70,576,696.70 unless the award also carries 238220.

Is $70.6 million already spent on Kentucky HVAC work?

Not on this metric. Obligations are recorded commitments. Outlays are payments from the Treasury. The $70,576,696.70 headline is the obligation rollup in SpendingVault's extract. Tonnage installed and remaining balances are not published in this packet. No fiscal year is attached to the join.
