All Other Professional, Scientific, And Technical Services federal obligations in Arkansas (NAICS 541990)

NAICS 541990 and Arkansas as a residual-PST join

This page intersects one six-digit industry and one state. $17,547,781.70 is the obligation sum where both filters are true. NAICS 541990 is all other professional, scientific, and technical services, not other scientific consulting and not engineering services. It is not a statewide spending total and not a national NAICS 541990 total. Those parent tables live on /states/ar/ and /industries/541990/.

26 awards against about $17.5 million is a thin-row residual professional-services cell: few actions relative to the sum. 26 is an award-record count. Modifications can sit beside base awards. The packet does not say how many unique vendors produced the 26 lines. Reading 26 as factories, ships, or clinics in Arkansas would confuse actions with establishments.

Arkansas industries (/states/ar/industries/) lists other NAICS codes with AR place of performance. All spending ties (/ties/) indexes other state–industry pairs. Do not sum those indexes into $17,547,781.70. The headline remains $17,547,781.70 on 26 awards for this pair alone.

Residual professional services, not scientific consulting

NAICS 541990 is a Census industry code assigned on the award. NAICS 541990 is all other professional, scientific, and technical services, not other scientific consulting and not engineering services. Other scientific and technical consulting (541690) and engineering services (541330) are different industry pages even when they share an Arkansas tag. Those neighboring codes never enter $17,547,781.70 unless they also appear as 541990, which they do not. Keep the six-digit label when you cite the Arkansas cell.

Residual professional-services codes gather leftover lines. This extract does not name disciplines, firms, or primes. Dividing $17,547,781.70 by 26 produces about $674,915. 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.

Arkansas geography on a 541990 cell

Arkansas place of performance can cover Little Rock, Fayetteville, Fort Smith, or a reporting address. The packet has no metro split. Inside the AR tag, Little Rock, Fayetteville, or a named professional office are not broken out. The packet has one state key. A named city can sit inside $17,547,781.70 only if its awards carry NAICS 541990 and AR — which this narrative cannot verify.

Place-of-performance geography is not the same as contractor headquarters. A firm based elsewhere can perform in Arkansas, and a Arkansas address can appear on work done out of state. This join reports the coded pair, not a logistics map. /states/ar/ remains the statewide parent.

Obligations versus outlays for Arkansas 541990

USAspending obligations are commitments, not checks that have cleared. $17,547,781.70 can include amounts that will be paid later, cancelled, or modified. The packet does not publish outlays. 26 is not a payment count. Quote NAICS 541990 in Arkansas as obligations and leave fiscal-year folklore off the citation — years are unpublished here.

What the professional-services–Arkansas pair does not prove

The other professional services–Arkansas pair does not prove that Arkansas specialized in this industry because of federal demand, or the reverse. Residual professional-services codes gather leftover lines. This extract does not name disciplines, firms, 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 541990 and Arkansas.

How to cite NAICS 541990 in Arkansas

Cite USAspending.gov, NAICS 541990 (All Other Professional, Scientific, And Technical Services), Arkansas (AR), $17,547,781.70, and 26 awards. Note that the figures are obligations. Point readers to /states/ar/, /industries/541990/, /states/ar/industries/, and /ties/ rather than collapsing those pages into this cell. Mean per award stays about $674,915 as a ratio only. Readers who reuse AR other PST services (541990) | $17.5M 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.
