Support Activities For Forestry federal obligations in Montana
Support Activities For Forestry (NAICS 115310) shows $80,219,323.50 in USAspending.gov obligations with Montana as place of performance. Three thousand forty-three awards sit behind that total. The join is a Census industry code crossed with a state location field, not Montana's entire timber and wildland economy and not a count of crews. The dollars are commitments, not Treasury outlays.
Key figures
- NAICS 115310 in Montana shows $80,219,323.50 in USAspending obligations on 3,043 awards.
- The code is support activities for forestry, not logging or sawmills.
- Three thousand forty-three awards are rows, not a crew or acre census.
- The total is commitments, not acres treated or a harvest ranking.
Montana x 115310 is an industry join, not a crew census
This page pairs NAICS 115310, SUPPORT ACTIVITIES FOR FORESTRY, with Montana place of performance. The code covers support activities for forestry, not logging itself and not sawmill manufacturing. SpendingVault sums tagged obligations: $80,219,323.50 on 3,043 awards. The extract does not list acres, timber sales, or crew days. Treat the pair as a catalog intersection, not a ranking of which state tends more forest, and not a claim that 3,043 awards equal 3,043 crews.
Other related listings — logging, timber tract operations, or public firefighting — sit outside $80,219,323.50 unless they also carry 115310. Mixing forestry support with mill manufacturing would invent a combined timber figure the packet never computed. Correlation between this obligation sum and board-foot harvests is not causation. Board-foot harvests are not in the packet. Place of performance as Montana locates the tagged awards; it does not deposit $80,219,323.50 in a state timber account.
3,043 awards behind $80.2 million
Award count is a row count of tagged awards, including possible modifications, task orders, and repeat delivery vehicles. It is not a census of plants, sites, or contractors. Mean obligation is about $26,362 if $80,219,323.50 were divided evenly across 3,043 lines — a mechanical ratio, not a typical forestry-support contract, and not a published unit price. High row counts often mean many small lines, not many factories.
Three thousand forty-three lines are far too many to narrate one by one. Sort the Montana 115310 overlay by amount to see whether dollars concentrate in a few large awards. This page will not invent contractor names. Open NAICS 115310 for the national listing and Montana industries for other codes. Do not convert 3,043 into a map of job sites. The $80,219,323.50 total remains an obligation rollup on tagged awards.
What NAICS 115310 covers in this extract
The listing title is Support Activities For Forestry. This extract does not split reforestation from fuels work, nor does it split wildfire support from ordinary silviculture. Those cuts would require award documentation beyond dollars, 3,043 awards, NAICS 115310, and Montana. This page will not invent a product-line share.
Obligations are recorded commitments. Outlays are payments from the Treasury. The $80,219,323.50 headline is the obligation sum, not acres already treated and not a fiscal-year outlay total. No fiscal year is attached. A forest-service press release dated to a particular year is not automatically this join unless it uses NAICS 115310, Montana geography, and the obligation metric.
What the Montana forestry support table omits
The extract has no employment count, no acreage table, and no timber-sale inventory. Facts remain $80,219,323.50, 3,043 awards, NAICS 115310, and Montana. This page will not invent a ranking against other states' 115310 joins. Forest Service and other land-management buyers can both sit in the file; the extract does not label them.
Montana federal spending and Montana industries place 115310 among other codes. NAICS 115310 is the national catalog line. All spending ties indexes other industry-by-state pairs. Mixing those shelves would invent a share of Montana forest work the packet never computed. The $80,219,323.50 figure is the tagged pair only.
Where the 115310 x Montana overlay lives
Start with Montana federal spending for statewide context and NAICS 115310 for the nationwide industry listing. Montana industries lists other codes with Montana place of performance. All spending ties is the shelf for other NAICS x state pairs on the same obligation metric. Three thousand forty-three awards are tagged rows, not a crews census. Names behind the rows are not in this packet.
Readers who need a different industry or a different state should leave this URL rather than adding numbers by hand. The $80,219,323.50 figure is the tagged NAICS 115310 × Montana pair only. USAspending.gov remains the source; SpendingVault republishes the join. Place of performance is a geography tag on awards, not proof that every dollar stayed inside Montana after obligation. If a later extract revises the rollup, this page's facts will be stale until the packet is rebuilt. Do not annualize $80,219,323.50 into a per-year run rate: no fiscal year is in the facts.
How to read the Montana × NAICS 115310 pair
A ties page exists because two tables meet. One table is the industry code (NAICS 115310). The other is place of performance as Montana. The headline $80,219,323.50 is the obligation sum on that intersection. It is not a forecast, not a budget request, and not an outlay. It is also not a claim that NAICS 115310 caused Montana's economy to grow, or that Montana caused NAICS 115310 awards to exist. Correlation between geography and a catalog code is the join — nothing more.
Use the internal links to step off this pair: the statewide spending shelf, the national industry listing, the state's other industry pages, and the ties index. Each of those pages uses the same obligation metric unless a page says otherwise. If you need award-level names, open the overlay or the stored table rather than treating this narrative as a recipient directory. If you need a different metric — outlays, current-year only, or a different geography — that metric is not in this packet.
