Power And Communication Line Construction in Montana (NAICS 237130)
Montana power-and-communication line construction clears a mid-row fourteen-million obligation total. Federal obligations coded to NAICS 237130 — Power And Communication Line And Related Structures Construction — with Montana place of performance total $14,072,093.79 on USAspending.gov, on 19 awards. 19 awards against $14.1 million is a thin heavy-civil book with a large implied mean. About $740,636.52 per award is the packet ratio. The page measures that pair, not a Montana line crews census, a named-vendor roster, or cash already paid.

NAICS 237130 dollars tagged to Montana
This page intersects one six-digit industry and one state. $14,072,093.79 is the obligation sum where both filters are true. NAICS 237130 is power and communication line and related structures construction, not water and sewer line and related structures construction and not other heavy and civil engineering construction. It is not a statewide spending total and not a national NAICS 237130 total. Those parent tables live on Montana federal spending and NAICS 237130.
19 awards against $14.1 million is a thin heavy-civil book with a large implied mean. 19 is an award-record count. Modifications can sit beside base awards. The packet does not say how many unique vendors produced the 19 lines. Reading 19 as line crews in Montana would confuse actions with establishments. Related structures can include towers and similar civil work; the packet does not inventory poles or miles of line.
Montana industries lists other NAICS codes with MT place of performance. All spending ties indexes other state–industry pairs. Do not sum those indexes into $14,072,093.79. The headline remains $14,072,093.79 on 19 awards for this pair alone. Montana federal spending is larger because it includes other NAICS. NAICS 237130 is larger because it includes other states. This tie is the intersection.
Power and communication lines, not water and sewer lines
NAICS 237130 is a Census industry code assigned on the award. NAICS 237130 is power and communication line and related structures construction, not water and sewer line and related structures construction (237110) and not other heavy and civil engineering construction (237990). Those neighboring codes never enter $14,072,093.79 unless they also appear as 237130, which they do not. Keep the six-digit label when you cite the Montana cell. Residual or neighboring codes are easy to merge in speech and wrong to merge in this table.
Dividing $14,072,093.79 by 19 produces about $740,636.52. That quotient is arithmetic, not a typical Montana 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.
Montana geography on a 237130 cell
Montana place of performance can cover Billings, Missoula, a substation, or a reporting address. The packet has no county split. Inside the MT tag, Billings, Missoula, or a named heavy construction site are not broken out. The packet has one state key. Splitting $14,072,093.79 across those names would be invention. A named city can sit inside $14,072,093.79 only if its awards carry NAICS 237130 and MT — 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 Montana tag. It does not audit the field. Montana federal spending uses the same geography convention across industries. Place-of-performance geography is not the same as contractor headquarters.
Obligations, not outlays, on Montana 237130
USAspending obligations are commitments, not checks that have cleared. $14,072,093.79 can include amounts that will be paid later, cancelled, or modified. The packet does not publish outlays. 19 is not a payment count. Quote NAICS 237130 in Montana as obligations and leave fiscal-year folklore off the citation — years are unpublished here. Do not call $14,072,093.79 “spent in Montana this year.”
What the power-line–Montana pair does not prove
The power-line–Montana pair does not prove that Montana specialized in this industry because of federal demand, or the reverse. Correlation is not causation. Federal awards in one NAICS do not explain Montana employment, and itemized campaign gifts do not pay USAspending obligations. Different statutes, different tables. This page names no contractors. Cite NAICS 237130 and Montana together so the join stays visible. Montana industries and All spending ties are the related indexes.
How to cite NAICS 237130 in Montana
Footnote form: USAspending.gov; NAICS 237130 Power And Communication Line And Related Structures Construction; place of performance Montana; obligations $14,072,093.79; awards 19; mean about $740,636.52 (ratio only). Link Montana federal spending and NAICS 237130 as parents. Do not convert $14,072,093.79 to per-capita figures; population is not a packet fact. Readers who reuse MT power & comm line work | NAICS 237130 should keep both sides of the join in the same sentence, cite USAspending.gov as the source, and treat award rows as records rather than unique vendors. The live hubs linked from this page can refresh the snapshot; 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 the named state.
