Plumbing, Heating, And Air-Conditioning Contractors in Arkansas (NAICS 238220)

NAICS 238220 and Arkansas as a plumbing-HVAC join

This page intersects one six-digit industry and one state. $14,560,530.05 is the obligation sum where both filters are true. NAICS 238220 is plumbing, heating, and air-conditioning contractors, not electrical contractors and other wiring installation contractors and not roofing contractors. It is not a statewide spending total and not a national NAICS 238220 total. Those parent tables live on Arkansas federal spending and NAICS 238220.

80 awards against $14.6 million is a mid-thickness trade book rather than a two-line concentrated cell. 80 is an award-record count. Modifications can sit beside base awards. The packet does not say how many unique vendors produced the 80 lines. Reading 80 as HVAC shops in Arkansas would confuse actions with establishments. Specialty-trade NAICS codes follow the work type on the award, not a census of every licensed plumber in the state.

Arkansas industries lists other NAICS codes with AR place of performance. All spending ties indexes other state–industry pairs. Do not sum those indexes into $14,560,530.05. The headline remains $14,560,530.05 on 80 awards for this pair alone. Arkansas federal spending is larger because it includes other NAICS. NAICS 238220 is larger because it includes other states. This tie is the intersection.

Plumbing and HVAC, not electrical contractors

NAICS 238220 is a Census industry code assigned on the award. NAICS 238220 is plumbing, heating, and air-conditioning contractors, not electrical contractors and other wiring installation contractors (238210) and not roofing contractors (238160). Those neighboring codes never enter $14,560,530.05 unless they also appear as 238220, which they do not. Keep the six-digit label when you cite the Arkansas cell. Residual or neighboring codes are easy to merge in speech and wrong to merge in this table.

Dividing $14,560,530.05 by 80 produces about $182,006.63. That quotient is arithmetic, not a typical Arkansas 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 Unique recipients are unpublished.

Arkansas geography on a 238220 cell

Arkansas place of performance can cover Little Rock, Fort Smith, a federal campus, or a reporting address. The packet has no county split. Inside the AR tag, Little Rock, Fort Smith, or a named specialty trades site are not broken out. The packet has one state key. Splitting $14,560,530.05 across those names would be invention. A named city can sit inside $14,560,530.05 only if its awards carry NAICS 238220 and AR — 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 Arkansas tag. It does not audit the field. Arkansas federal spending uses the same geography convention across industries. Place-of-performance geography is not the same as contractor headquarters.

Obligations versus outlays for Arkansas 238220

USAspending obligations are commitments, not checks that have cleared. $14,560,530.05 can include amounts that will be paid later, cancelled, or modified. The packet does not publish outlays. 80 is not a payment count. Quote NAICS 238220 in Arkansas as obligations and leave fiscal-year folklore off the citation — years are unpublished here. Do not call $14,560,530.05 “spent in Arkansas this year.”

What the HVAC–Arkansas pair does not prove

The HVAC–Arkansas pair does not prove that Arkansas specialized in this industry because of federal demand, or the reverse. Correlation is not causation. Federal awards in one NAICS do not explain Arkansas employment, and itemized campaign gifts do not pay USAspending obligations. Different statutes, different tables. This page names no contractors. Cite NAICS 238220 and Arkansas together so the join stays visible. Arkansas industries and All spending ties are the related indexes.

Link Arkansas federal spending and NAICS 238220 as parents. Do not convert $14,560,530.05 to per-capita figures; population is not a packet fact. Readers who reuse AR plumbing & HVAC contractors | NAICS 238220 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.
