Port And Harbor Operations federal obligations in South Dakota (NAICS 488310)

NAICS 488310 dollars tagged to South Dakota

This page intersects one six-digit industry and one state. $13,137,019.26 is the obligation sum where both filters are true. NAICS 488310 is port and harbor operations, not marine cargo handling and not inland water freight transportation. It is not a statewide spending total and not a national NAICS 488310 total. Those parent tables live on South Dakota federal spending and NAICS 488310.

294 awards against $13.1 million is a high-count harbor-ops book with a small implied mean. 294 is an award-record count. Modifications can sit beside base awards. The packet does not say how many unique vendors produced the 294 lines. Reading 294 as harbor operators in South Dakota would confuse actions with establishments. An inland state can still host river and reservoir operations coded as ports and harbors; the packet does not name terminals.

South Dakota industries lists other NAICS codes with SD place of performance. All spending ties indexes other state–industry pairs. Do not sum those indexes into $13,137,019.26. The headline remains $13,137,019.26 on 294 awards for this pair alone. South Dakota federal spending is larger because it includes other NAICS. NAICS 488310 is larger because it includes other states. This tie is the intersection.

Port and harbor operations, not marine cargo handling

NAICS 488310 is a Census industry code assigned on the award. NAICS 488310 is port and harbor operations, not marine cargo handling (488320) and not inland water freight transportation (483211). Those neighboring codes never enter $13,137,019.26 unless they also appear as 488310, which they do not. Keep the six-digit label when you cite the South Dakota cell. Residual or neighboring codes are easy to merge in speech and wrong to merge in this table.

Dividing $13,137,019.26 by 294 produces about $44,683.74. That quotient is arithmetic, not a typical South Dakota 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 Unique recipients are unpublished.

South Dakota geography on a 488310 cell

South Dakota place of performance can cover Sioux Falls, Pierre, a Missouri River facility, or a reporting address. The packet has no county split. Inside the SD tag, Sioux Falls, Pierre, or a named water transportation support site are not broken out. The packet has one state key. Splitting $13,137,019.26 across those names would be invention. A named city can sit inside $13,137,019.26 only if its awards carry NAICS 488310 and SD — 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 South Dakota tag. It does not audit the field. South Dakota federal spending uses the same geography convention across industries. Place-of-performance geography is not the same as contractor headquarters.

Obligations, not outlays, on South Dakota 488310

USAspending obligations are commitments, not checks that have cleared. $13,137,019.26 can include amounts that will be paid later, cancelled, or modified. The packet does not publish outlays. 294 is not a payment count. Quote NAICS 488310 in South Dakota as obligations and leave fiscal-year folklore off the citation — years are unpublished here. Do not call $13,137,019.26 “spent in South Dakota this year.”

What the harbor-ops–South Dakota pair does not prove

The harbor-ops–South Dakota pair does not prove that South Dakota specialized in this industry because of federal demand, or the reverse. Correlation is not causation. Federal awards in one NAICS do not explain South Dakota employment, and itemized campaign gifts do not pay USAspending obligations. Different statutes, different tables. This page names no contractors. Cite NAICS 488310 and South Dakota together so the join stays visible. South Dakota industries and All spending ties are the related indexes.
