Power and communication line construction in Colorado (NAICS 237130)

What the 237130–Colorado join is

NAICS 237130 and place-of-performance state CO meet on this tie. $104,853,665.72 is the obligation sum on awards that carry both tags. It is not the nationwide total for power and communication line construction, not Colorado’s statewide spending rollup, and not cash already paid. USAspending labels the industry Power And Communication Line And Related Structures Construction; this overlay applies that code only where Colorado is the geography field.

20 is an award-action count. A handful of large vehicles can dominate the dollar sum. Unique vendors are not published in this packet. Reading 20 as substations, towers, or contractors in Colorado would confuse actions with establishments. The join does not rank Colorado against other states and does not assign a fiscal year; none is in the facts.

Open Colorado federal spending for the state rollup, NAICS 237130 for the industry hub, Colorado industries for other NAICS in the same geography, and All spending ties for other pairs. Do not add those parent pages into $104,853,665.72.

NAICS 237130 as the construction side

USAspending labels NAICS 237130 as Power And Communication Line And Related Structures Construction. The packet does not name utilities, fiber routes, or primes. Sharing a state with other heavy-construction codes does not merge this cell with highway or pipeline construction. The industry hub for NAICS 237130 does not require Colorado geography; only this overlay applies both filters.

A second 237130 join in another state uses the same NAICS and a different dollar total. Do not treat Colorado’s figure as a synonym for every power-and-communication-line award in the catalog. Twenty actions against $104,853,665.72 is a concentrated construction file. Award titles on the NAICS 237130 page are the place to see what a given line bought.

Place of performance in Colorado

Colorado on this join is a USAspending geography field, not a claim that every dollar was disbursed to Colorado residents. Colorado POP is statewide, not a Denver-only or Front Range-only overlay. Place of performance can list CO while later work occurs in Wyoming or New Mexico; those states are not inside this total unless also coded CO.

The state hub for Colorado shows how NAICS 237130 sits beside other industries in the same geography. This packet does not split metros, counties, or congressional districts. Contractor headquarters can differ from the place-of-performance tag.

Award count, mean, and obligations

20 awards against $104,853,665.72 produces a high mean of about $5,242,683. A small action count can hide a few large vehicles. That mean is still only a ratio of two packet facts, not a typical invoice. Award count 20 is a record count, not a payment count and not a unique-contractor census.

An obligation is a legal commitment. $104,853,665.72 is that kind of sum. Outlays can lag. This packet has no outlay total and no fiscal-year split. Citing $104,853,665.72 as cash already spent in Colorado over-reads the field.

What this pair does not prove

A high mean is not proof of a single prime and not proof that Colorado specialized in line construction because of federal demand. Keep $104,853,665.72 labeled as NAICS 237130 obligations with Colorado place of performance. Campaign contributions and USAspending awards are different datasets; this page does not claim donations fund these obligations. Correlation is not causation.

How to cite line construction in Colorado

Cite USAspending.gov, NAICS 237130 (Power And Communication Line And Related Structures Construction), Colorado (CO), $104,853,665.72, and 20 awards. Note that the figures are obligations. Point readers to Colorado federal spending, NAICS 237130, Colorado industries, and All spending ties rather than collapsing those pages into this cell. Mean per award stays about $5,242,683 as a ratio only.

A twenty-award cell can still carry a nine-figure obligation sum. Readers who reuse this snapshot should keep both sides of the join in the same sentence and treat award rows as records rather than unique vendors. This narrative does not invent a fiscal year, a recipient list, or an outlay total that the packet omitted. Place of performance remains a geography tag, not proof that work stayed inside Colorado. Keep the obligation word on $104,853,665.72 in every footnote.
