NAICS 238220 dollars tagged to Nebraska
This page intersects one six-digit industry and one state. $13,918,577.28 is the obligation sum where both filters are true. NAICS 238220 is plumbing, heating, and air-conditioning contractors, not electrical contractors and other wiring installation contractors and not roofing contractors. It is not a statewide spending total and not a national NAICS 238220 total. Those parent tables live on Nebraska federal spending and NAICS 238220.
105 awards against $13.9 million is a high-count specialty-trade book with a modest implied mean. 105 is an award-record count. Modifications can sit beside base awards. The packet does not say how many unique vendors produced the 105 lines. Reading 105 as HVAC shops in Nebraska would confuse actions with establishments. Nebraska and Arkansas share NAICS 238220 without sharing award-count shape; keep each state’s mean on its own page.
Nebraska industries lists other NAICS codes with NE place of performance. All spending ties indexes other state–industry pairs. Do not sum those indexes into $13,918,577.28. The headline remains $13,918,577.28 on 105 awards for this pair alone. Nebraska federal spending is larger because it includes other NAICS. NAICS 238220 is larger because it includes other states. This tie is the intersection.
Nebraska HVAC trades, not roofing contractors
NAICS 238220 is a Census industry code assigned on the award. NAICS 238220 is plumbing, heating, and air-conditioning contractors, not electrical contractors and other wiring installation contractors (238210) and not roofing contractors (238160). Those neighboring codes never enter $13,918,577.28 unless they also appear as 238220, which they do not. Keep the six-digit label when you cite the Nebraska cell. Residual or neighboring codes are easy to merge in speech and wrong to merge in this table.
Dividing $13,918,577.28 by 105 produces about $132,557.88. That quotient is arithmetic, not a typical Nebraska 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. A high mean can be one vehicle; a low mean can be many delivery orders. This extract cannot tell those stories apart. Unique recipients are unpublished.
Nebraska geography on a 238220 cell
Nebraska place of performance can cover Omaha, Lincoln, a federal campus, or a reporting address. The packet has no county split. Inside the NE tag, Omaha, Lincoln, or a named specialty trades site are not broken out. The packet has one state key. Splitting $13,918,577.28 across those names would be invention. A named city can sit inside $13,918,577.28 only if its awards carry NAICS 238220 and NE — which this narrative cannot verify.
USAspending place of performance is a reporting field. It can diverge from headquarters, from where parts were made, or from where staff sat. This page repeats the coded Nebraska tag. It does not audit the field. Nebraska federal spending uses the same geography convention across industries. Place-of-performance geography is not the same as contractor headquarters.
Obligations, not outlays, on Nebraska 238220
USAspending obligations are commitments, not checks that have cleared. $13,918,577.28 can include amounts that will be paid later, cancelled, or modified. The packet does not publish outlays. 105 is not a payment count. Quote NAICS 238220 in Nebraska as obligations and leave fiscal-year folklore off the citation — years are unpublished here. Do not call $13,918,577.28 “spent in Nebraska this year.”
What the HVAC–Nebraska pair does not prove
The HVAC–Nebraska pair does not prove that Nebraska specialized in this industry because of federal demand, or the reverse. Correlation is not causation. Federal awards in one NAICS do not explain Nebraska employment, and itemized campaign gifts do not pay USAspending obligations. Different statutes, different tables. This page names no contractors. Cite NAICS 238220 and Nebraska together so the join stays visible. Nebraska industries and All spending ties are the related indexes.
