Radio And Television Broadcasting And Wireless Communications Equipment Manufacturing in Iowa 2nd District (IA-02)

$1,679,049,417.95 in USAspending.gov obligations pairs NAICS 334220 (Radio And Television Broadcasting And Wireless Communications Equipment Manufacturing) with Iowa 2nd District (IA-02) across 331 awards. The join is NAICS 334220 crossed with an IA-02 location field, not Iowa's entire communications-equipment book and not a named-plant inventory. The dollars are commitments, not Treasury outlays. No fiscal year is published in this packet, so this page does not invent one.

Key figures

  • Radio And Television Broadcasting And Wireless Communications Equipment Manufacturing (NAICS 334220) × IA-02: $1,679,049,417.95 across 331 awards.
  • About 12.4% of the IA-02 district parent $13,515,948,904.06 by arithmetic.
  • 331 awards are a row count, not a radio or plant census.
  • Obligations are not outlays; no fiscal year is in the packet.
  • FEC donations do not fund this USAspending cell; source is USAspending.gov.

NAICS 334220 × IA-02 is a comms-equipment join, not a radio roster

This page is a join: Radio And Television Broadcasting And Wireless Communications Equipment Manufacturing (NAICS 334220) as the industry key, and Iowa 2nd District (IA-02) as congressional district place of performance. SpendingVault sums tagged obligations to $1,679,049,417.95 on 331 awards. The join is NAICS 334220 crossed with an IA-02 location field, not Iowa's entire communications-equipment book and not a named-plant inventory. Treat the pair as a catalog intersection, not a ranking of which district received more, and not a claim that 331 awards equal 331 radios or 331 unique primes.

The IA-01 except-small-arms ammunition cell (332993) sits outside this total unless those awards also carry NAICS 334220 and IA-02. Mixing those books into $1,679,049,417.95 would invent a combined figure the packet never computed. Correlation between this obligation sum and local communications-equipment employment is not causation. Plant names and radio serials are not in the packet. Place of performance as IA-02 locates the tagged awards; it does not deposit $1,679,049,417.95 in a district treasury. Cedar Rapids-versus-Iowa City folklore is not a geography split in this packet.

331 awards behind $1.68 billion

Mean obligation is about $5,072,656.85 if $1,679,049,417.95 were divided evenly across 331 lines. That ratio is not a published unit cost and not a typical radio invoice. Award count is a row count, including possible continuations and modifications. It is not a count of radios, plants, or unique vendors. Three hundred thirty-one awards against a $1.68 billion cell is a thick communications-equipment file, not a single-lot dump.

Delivery orders and modifications can multiply rows without multiplying unique vendors. This page will not invent contractor or recipient names. Open Iowa 2nd District for the stored district table. Do not convert 331 into a map of Iowa 2nd District radio plants. The $1,679,049,417.95 total remains an obligation rollup on tagged awards. Inspect named lines on the overlay rather than inferring a radio census.

Iowa 2nd District, not a statewide wireless rollup

Iowa 2nd District (IA-02) is one geography tag on USAspending awards, not a commuting zone and not a metro list. Awards tagged to IA-01, IA-03, or another Iowa district are out even if the radio program sounds related. Recipient address can differ from that district tag. The district parent in this extract is $13,515,948,904.06 across every industry; $1,679,049,417.95 is the Radio And Television Broadcasting And Wireless Communications Equipment Manufacturing slice — about 12.4% of that parent by arithmetic. Subtracting is tempting; this page still does not publish the leftover NAICS list.

A statewide broadcast-and-wireless figure on Iowa federal spending is a different shelf. Do not rank IA-02 against neighboring districts as a winner or loser. Other Iowa district cells are other joins. Iowa federal spending is the statewide book without a district filter. Adding statewide Radio And Television Broadcasting And Wireless Communications Equipment Manufacturing dollars to $1,679,049,417.95 would double count. Campaign-finance filings are a different public-record system; this join does not claim donations funded these obligations.

NAICS 334220 obligations are not radios already fielded

Broadcasting and wireless communications equipment awards often obligate as production lots and draw as hardware is accepted. The $1,679,049,417.95 headline is the obligation sum, not a punch-list of radios already fielded and not a Treasury outlay total. A communications-equipment dashboard dated to a particular year is not automatically this join unless it uses NAICS 334220, IA-02 geography, and the obligation metric.

NAICS 334220 is the nationwide industry book without a IA-02 filter. This extract does not split radio from television from wireless, and it does not merge other communications equipment (334290) into this 334220 code. Those cuts would require award documentation beyond dollars, 331 awards, NAICS 334220, and Iowa 2nd District. This page will not invent a share. Unique recipients remain unpublished.

What the IA-02 broadcast/wireless table omits

The extract has no plant names, primes, or radio types. Facts remain $1,679,049,417.95, 331 awards, NAICS 334220, Radio And Television Broadcasting And Wireless Communications Equipment Manufacturing, Iowa 2nd District (IA-02), and district parent $13,515,948,904.06. Eastern Iowa radio folklore belongs on another extract if it appears at all. Keep the obligation label. Later ingests can revise both the dollars and the 331-award count; prefer the live table when the overlay and this snapshot diverge.

Where the 334220 × IA-02 pair lives

Start with Iowa 2nd District for the district rollup that contains this Radio And Television Broadcasting And Wireless Communications Equipment Manufacturing cell. NAICS 334220 is the nationwide NAICS 334220 listing. Iowa federal spending gives Iowa context without a IA-02 filter. All spending ties indexes other two-key joins on the same obligation metric. Three hundred thirty-one awards totaling this cell remain an administrative file, not a radio roster. Keep both Radio And Television Broadcasting And Wireless Communications Equipment Manufacturing and Iowa 2nd District (IA-02) in every citation sentence. Do not recast $1,679,049,417.95 as cash already paid or as Iowa's entire communications-equipment appropriation. USAspending.gov remains the source; SpendingVault republishes the join. FEC contribution tables do not fund this cell.

USAspending.gov shows $1,679,049,417.95 in Radio And Television Broadcasting And Wireless Communications Equipment Manufacturing (NAICS 334220) obligations with Iowa 2nd District (IA-02) as place of performance, across 331 awards. The sum is a commitment total, not outlays and not the district's full $13,515,948,904.06 parent. Other NAICS codes sit outside this join unless they also carry 334220.
Do 331 awards mean 331 radios in IA-02?
No. Award count is a row count of NAICS 334220 actions tagged to IA-02. It is not a radio or vendor census. Unique recipients are unpublished. Mean obligation of about $5,072,656.85 is a quotient of $1,679,049,417.95 and 331, not a unit cost.
Does the IA-02 cell include IA-01 ammunition dollars?
No. NAICS 332993 in IA-01 is a different join. $1,679,049,417.95 is about 12.4% of the Iowa 2nd District parent $13,515,948,904.06 by arithmetic. Cite USAspending.gov as the source. Obligations remain commitments, not Treasury outlays.
Is the IA-02 broadcast/wireless total already paid as outlays?
