Petroleum Refineries federal obligations in Alaska (NAICS 324110)

What the petroleum refineries–Alaska join is

NAICS 324110 and place-of-performance state AK meet on this tie. $205,472,193 is the obligation sum on awards that carry both tags. It is not the nationwide total for petroleum refineries, not Alaska’s entire federal inflow, and not cash already paid. 324110 is petroleum refineries, not crude extraction and not petroleum merchant wholesalers.

2,486 is an award-action count. Modifications, delivery orders, and repeat vehicles add rows. Unique vendors are not published in this packet. Dividing $205,472,193 by 2,486 yields about $82,652 per award on average. The join does not rank Alaska against other states and does not assign a fiscal year; none is in the facts.

Open Alaska federal spending for the state rollup, NAICS 324110 for the industry hub, Alaska industries for other NAICS in the same geography, and All spending ties for other pairs.

NAICS 324110 as the industry side

USAspending labels NAICS 324110 as Petroleum Refineries. Petroleum Refineries is a manufacturing code for refining as USAspending coded the NAICS. Upstream extraction and downstream wholesale sit elsewhere. The packet does not name facilities, products, or military versus civilian fuel. The industry hub for NAICS 324110 does not require Alaska geography; only this overlay applies both filters.

A second petroleum refineries join in another state uses the same NAICS and a different dollar total. Do not treat Alaska’s 324110 figure as a synonym for every petroleum refineries award in the catalog. 324110 is petroleum refineries, not crude extraction and not petroleum merchant wholesalers. Award titles on the NAICS 324110 page are the place to see what a given line bought.

Place of performance in Alaska

Alaska on this join is a USAspending geography field, not a claim that every dollar was disbursed to Alaska residents. Alaska POP is statewide, not a North Pole-versus-Kenai split. Indiana and Washington also have 324110 joins on this slice; those are different pairs. An Alaska tag does not pull Lower 48 refining into this sum. Awards can list AK while later performance occurs elsewhere.

The state hub for Alaska shows how NAICS 324110 sits beside other industries in the same geography. This packet does not split metros, counties, or congressional districts. Open Alaska federal spending for the state rollup, NAICS 324110 for the industry hub, Alaska industries for other NAICS in the same geography, and All spending ties for other pairs.

Award count, mean, and obligations

2,486 awards is a high-action fuel file. Delivery orders and modifications can multiply rows without minting new refineries. The mean is not a barrel price. Award count 2,486 is a record count, not a payment count and not a unique-contractor census. Readers who need transaction-level detail should use the Alaska industries list and the NAICS 324110 hub.

An obligation is a legal commitment. $205,472,193 is that kind of sum. Outlays can lag. This packet has no outlay total and no fiscal-year split. Citing $205,472,193 as cash already spent in Alaska over-reads the field.

What this pair does not prove

A large refinery total in Alaska does not prove the code caused the state’s energy mix, and it does not connect these obligations to campaign contributions. Correlation with fuel logistics is expected; it is not a finding about waste. Keep $205,472,193 labeled as NAICS 324110 obligations with Alaska place of performance. Campaign contributions and USAspending awards are different datasets; this page does not claim donations fund these obligations.

A later ingest can restate $205,472,193 without changing the join key of NAICS 324110 and AK. Rewrite only the sentence whose source moved. Open Alaska federal spending for the state rollup, NAICS 324110 for the industry hub, Alaska industries for other NAICS in the same geography, and All spending ties for other pairs. Correlation is not causation.

A clean footnote names the NAICS, the place-of-performance state, the obligation dollar total, and the award-action count on USAspending.gov. Keep the obligation word. Do not call the headline cash outlays. Metro folklore is not a packet split; awards stay statewide unless a different join says otherwise. A high award-action count is still a record count, including modifications. Original filings remain on the source site.
