NAICS 541712 intersecting Virginia

NAICS 541712 is research and development in the physical, engineering, and life sciences except biotechnology, not communications-equipment manufacturing and not CPA offices. The dollar figure $230,393,438.71 applies only where the industry code and the VA geography are both present. Virginia federal spending is larger because it includes other NAICS. NAICS 541712 is larger because it includes other states. This tie is the intersection.

1,145 actions produced the Virginia book. 1,145 awards against $230,393,438.71 is a nine-figure R&D cell: many records against a large obligation sum. Award rows are not the same as establishments in the Economic Census. A single vendor can hold several of the 1,145 records. The packet does not identify vendors.

Readers comparing codes should open /states/va/industries/ rather than inferring rank from this one cell. /ties/ collects other intersections. /industries/541712/ without the Virginia filter is a different total. None of those pages should be added into $230,393,438.71.

Physical and life R&D, not comms equipment

Communications-equipment and CPA-office codes stay on other Virginia industry pages. Residual or neighboring codes are easy to merge in speech and wrong to merge in this table. NAICS 541712 is research and development in the physical, engineering, and life sciences except biotechnology, not communications-equipment manufacturing and not CPA offices. $230,393,438.71 stays inside 541712 × VA only.

The implied mean of about $201,217 is $230,393,438.71 / 1,145. Physical/life-sciences R&D except biotechnology is a services label, not a hardware NAICS. This extract does not name labs, investigators, or primes. There is no distribution in the packet: no p50, no largest award, no fiscal year. A high mean can be one vehicle; a low mean can be many delivery orders. This extract cannot tell those stories apart.
