HVAC contractors, not facilities-support services

Facilities-support services and construction-machinery manufacturing are different industry pages. NAICS 238220 is plumbing, heating, and air-conditioning contractors, not facilities-support services and not construction-machinery manufacturing. Speech often blends neighboring manufacturing or services codes. This table does not. $73,582,405.85 is 238220 only, inside North Carolina only.

Specialty-trade contractors are not the residual heavy-civil NAICS. This extract does not name jobsites, crews, or primes. About $297,904 per award comes from dividing $73,582,405.85 by 247. Use that ratio as a scale check, not as a typical North Carolina invoice. No median and no fiscal-year slice appear in the facts.

North Carolina geography on a 238220 cell

North Carolina place of performance can cover Charlotte, Raleigh, Wilmington, or a reporting address. The packet has no county split. Ordinary maps mention Charlotte, Raleigh, or a named HVAC shop. This extract has no such split. All of those places, if they appear at all, share NC inside $73,582,405.85.

A North Carolina performance tag can sit on work whose parts, crews, or ships moved through other states. The join reports the tag, not a bill of lading. /states/nc/ uses the same place-of-performance rule for every industry on the state hub.
