NAICS 517312 and New Jersey as a wireless join
This page intersects one six-digit industry and one state. $75,897,878.96 is the obligation sum where both filters are true. NAICS 517312 is wireless telecommunications carriers except satellite, not apparel manufacturing and not computing-infrastructure hosting. It is not a statewide spending total and not a national NAICS 517312 total. Those parent tables live on /states/nj/ and /industries/517312/.
2,545 awards against about $75.9 million is a busy wireless-services cell: many actions, not a handful of spectrum deals. 2,545 is an award-record count. Modifications can sit beside base awards. The packet does not say how many unique vendors produced the 2,545 lines. Reading 2,545 as factories, ships, or clinics in New Jersey would confuse actions with establishments.
New Jersey industries (/states/nj/industries/) lists other NAICS codes with NJ place of performance. All spending ties (/ties/) indexes other state–industry pairs. Do not sum those indexes into $75,897,878.96. The headline remains $75,897,878.96 on 2,545 awards for this pair alone.
Wireless carriers, not satellite and not apparel
NAICS 517312 is a Census industry code assigned on the award. NAICS 517312 is wireless telecommunications carriers except satellite, not apparel manufacturing and not computing-infrastructure hosting. Apparel-accessories manufacturing and data-processing hosting are different industry pages. Those neighboring codes never enter $75,897,878.96 unless they also appear as 517312, which they do not. Keep the six-digit label when you cite the New Jersey cell.
The except-satellite parenthetical is part of the Census title. This extract does not name carriers, towers, or primes. Dividing $75,897,878.96 by 2,545 produces about $29,822. That quotient is arithmetic, not a typical New Jersey 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.
New Jersey geography on a 517312 cell
New Jersey place of performance can cover Newark, Jersey City, Trenton, or a reporting address. The packet has no county split. Inside the NJ tag, Newark, Jersey City, or a named wireless site are not broken out. The packet has one state key. A named city can sit inside $75,897,878.96 only if its awards carry NAICS 517312 and NJ — which this narrative cannot verify.
Place-of-performance geography is not the same as contractor headquarters. A firm based elsewhere can perform in New Jersey, and a New Jersey address can appear on work done out of state. This join reports the coded pair, not a logistics map. /states/nj/ remains the statewide parent.
Obligations versus outlays for New Jersey 517312
USAspending obligations are commitments, not checks that have cleared. $75,897,878.96 can include amounts that will be paid later, cancelled, or modified. The packet does not publish outlays. 2,545 is not a payment count. Quote NAICS 517312 in New Jersey as obligations and leave fiscal-year folklore off the citation — years are unpublished here.
What the wireless–New Jersey pair does not prove
The wireless carriers–New Jersey pair does not prove that New Jersey specialized in this industry because of federal demand, or the reverse. The except-satellite parenthetical is part of the Census title. This extract does not name carriers, towers, or primes. Campaign-finance tables are a different dataset; donations do not fund these awards. Keep both sides of the join in any headline: NAICS 517312 and New Jersey.
How to cite NAICS 517312 in New Jersey
Cite USAspending.gov, NAICS 517312 (Wireless Telecommunications Carriers (Except Satellite)), New Jersey (NJ), $75,897,878.96, and 2,545 awards. Note that the figures are obligations. Point readers to /states/nj/, /industries/517312/, /states/nj/industries/, and /ties/ rather than collapsing those pages into this cell. Mean per award stays about $29,822 as a ratio only. Readers who reuse NJ wireless carriers (517312) | $75.9M 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.
