Power and communication line construction federal obligations in Alaska (NAICS 237130)
Seventy-four power-and-communication-line awards in Alaska carry $112.2 million. USAspending.gov records $112,197,036 in Power And Communication Line And Related Structures Construction (NAICS 237130) obligations with Alaska place of performance, across 74 awards. 74 awards against $112.2 million is a mid-thin civil book: more lines than a handful of mega-projects, fewer than a task-order swarm. Implied mean obligation per award is about $1.52 million. This page is the NAICS-and-state join, not a highway total, a generation-plant census, or cash already paid.
Key figures

NAICS 237130 dollars tagged to Alaska
NAICS 237130 and geography AK meet in this cell. $112,197,036 is the USAspending.gov obligation sum on awards that carry both tags. It is not the industry’s national total, not Alaska’s entire federal inflow, and not an outlay. NAICS 237130 is power and communication line and related structures construction, not electric power generation and not highway construction. The pair is the only object this page measures.
74 awards sit beside $112,197,036. 74 awards against $112.2 million is a mid-thin civil book: more lines than a handful of mega-projects, fewer than a task-order swarm. The count can include contracts, orders, and modifications. Treating 74 as a roster of plants, crews, or patients would misread award records as people. Unique recipients are unpublished on this packet.
Open Alaska federal spending for every industry coded to the state, NAICS 237130 for the code without a state filter, Alaska industries for the state industry index, and All spending ties for other pairs. Do not add those parent tables into $112,197,036.
Line construction, not generation or highways
NAICS 237130 is power and communication line and related structures construction, not electric power generation and not highway construction. Sibling NAICS codes stay on other industry pages: Other electric power generation (221118) and highway construction (237310) are different codes. Other heavy civil (237990) is another residual civil page. Mixing those dollars into $112,197,036 would invent a roll-up the packet does not publish. NAICS 237130 is the only industry key on this Alaska tie.
Dividing $112,197,036 by 74 awards yields about $1.52 million per award. That mean is a ratio of two packet facts, not a typical invoice and not a median. Line construction is not generation. Do not treat this cell as Alaska’s entire energy budget. The packet has no fiscal-year split and no de-obligation history.
Alaska geography on a 237130 cell
Alaska place of performance does not split the Railbelt from rural grids or a named right-of-way. The AK tag is statewide. Anchorage, Fairbanks, or a named transmission corridor share the AK place-of-performance tag inside $112,197,036. This extract does not publish a city or county split. Naming one campus as the whole Alaska book adds a label the facts do not carry.
Place of performance can follow a payee address, in-state work, or a reporting convention. Awards coded to another state do not enter this sum even if a vendor’s mailroom sits in Alaska. The join cannot re-allocate dollars along a supply chain. Alaska federal spending still includes every other NAICS coded to AK.
Obligations, not outlays, on Alaska 237130
An obligation is a legal commitment. An outlay is a payment. $112,197,036 is the former. This packet has no outlay total, no fiscal-year split, and no de-obligation history. Citing the figure as cash already cleared in Alaska over-reads the field. 74 remains an award-record count, not a payment count and not a beneficiary roster. Keep the obligation word when you quote NAICS 237130 in Alaska.
What the line-construction–Alaska pair does not prove
A large power line construction total in Alaska does not mean the industry caused the state’s economy, and it does not connect these obligations to campaign contributions. Correlation is not causation. Line construction is not generation. Do not treat this cell as Alaska’s entire energy budget. Keep $112,197,036 labeled as NAICS 237130 obligations with Alaska place of performance. NAICS 237130 is the national industry hub; Alaska industries lists other codes in the state; All spending ties indexes other pairs.
How to cite NAICS 237130 in Alaska
A clean footnote names NAICS 237130 (Power And Communication Line And Related Structures Construction), Alaska place of performance, $112,197,036 in obligations, and 74 awards on USAspending.gov. Keep the obligation word. Mean dollars per action remain about $1.52 million. Quote Alaska federal spending if you need every industry in the state, and quote NAICS 237130 if you need the code without the AK filter. Do not per-capita the total; population is unpublished here.
Questions
- How much has NAICS 237130 obligated in Alaska?
- USAspending.gov records $112,197,036 in obligations for NAICS 237130 with Alaska place of performance, covering 74 awards. That is an obligation aggregate for the industry–state pair, not an outlay figure and not the industry’s national total. Original filings remain on USAspending.gov.
- Is this Alaska electric power generation?
- The extract lists 74 award actions totaling $112,197,036. A short or long row list can still hold a large dollar total if a few awards dominate, or many small actions can stack. Average obligation per award is about $1.52 million, a ratio, not a typical invoice. Unique recipients are not published on this packet.
- Does 237130 include highway construction?
- Highway, street, and bridge construction sits on another NAICS. $112,197,036 is power and communication line construction in Alaska on 74 awards. Generation is a utility code, not this civil code. Quote 237130 and Alaska together and keep the obligation label. Unique recipients are unpublished.
- Where are the parent Alaska and NAICS 237130 tables?
- Alaska federal spending shows every industry coded to the state. NAICS 237130 shows the code without a state filter. Alaska industries is the state industry index. All spending ties lists other pairs. Prefer those tables after later USAspending ingests. Original filings remain on USAspending.gov.
USAspending.gov NAICS industry aggregates by place of performance state. Obligations are not outlays.
