All Other Professional, Scientific, And Technical Services federal obligations in Colorado
All Other Professional, Scientific, And Technical Services (NAICS 541990) shows $242,549,679.69 in USAspending.gov obligations coded to Colorado, across 591 awards. The pair is the industry code and the place-of-performance state (CO). Five hundred ninety-one awards against $242,549,679.69 is a mid-count residual-services file. Officers used 541990 when a tighter professional code did not fit. The implied mean is about $410,406 per award — a quotient of two packet facts, not a typical contract. Amounts are obligations, not outlays. No fiscal year is published in this packet.

Residual professional services tagged to Colorado
All Other Professional, Scientific, And Technical Services as NAICS 541990, Colorado as place of performance: 591 records summing to $242,549,679.69. A 541990 award coded outside CO is out. An award in Colorado tagged to a different NAICS is out even if the work sounds related. Colorado (CO) excludes Wyoming, Utah, New Mexico, Kansas, Nebraska, Oklahoma, and Arizona. A New Mexico-coded residual-services award is NM.
Five hundred ninety-one awards against $242,549,679.69 is a mid-count residual-services file. Officers used 541990 when a tighter professional code did not fit. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not read 591 as 591 unique unique labs, named programs, or a catch-all of every 54 NAICS. Colorado federal spending is the all-industry state hub. NAICS 541990 is the industry book without a CO filter. Colorado industries lists other Colorado industry cells. All spending ties indexes other joins.
Boulder-versus-Colorado Springs folklore is unpublished. $242,549,679.69 stays statewide. Correlation is not causation: Colorado did not “cause” $242,549,679.69 by existing as a large or small place. Population and outcome scores are not packet facts. The join is 541990 × CO only.
“All other” is leftover, not a lab name
$242,549,679.69 does not measure unique labs, named programs, or a catch-all of every 54 NAICS. Those series are not USAspending fields on this aggregate. The cell sums award obligations with NAICS 541990 and a CO place-of-performance tag. Computer systems design is 541512; R&D in the physical, engineering, and life sciences (except nanotechnology and biotechnology) is 541715. This residual tag is 541990.
Do not treat 591 awards as a census of unique labs, named programs, or a catch-all of every 54 NAICS. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If Colorado federal spending or NAICS 541990 matched $242,549,679.69 and 591, the join would be pointless. Keep both keys on. Utah, New Mexico, and Wyoming 541990 joins are other pairs, not addends.
Colorado statewide, not a Front Range lab map
Place of performance CO is a geography tag on the award, not a metro list and not a commuting zone. Colorado (CO) excludes Wyoming, Utah, New Mexico, Kansas, Nebraska, Oklahoma, and Arizona. A New Mexico-coded residual-services award is NM. Recipient headquarters can differ from that state tag.
Boulder-versus-Colorado Springs folklore is unpublished. $242,549,679.69 stays statewide. This packet does not split $242,549,679.69 by city, county, or named facility. 591 awards stay statewide. A county table would be a different extract.
Professional-services stock versus cash paid
Even a thick or thin file records obligations, not necessarily outlays. $242,549,679.69 can include amounts that pay on a later schedule. Citing it as cash already sent in Colorado confuses two concepts. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total.
Colorado’s own budget is a different ledger. Mixing it with the 591-award USAspending file leaves this series. No fiscal year is published in this packet, so this page does not invent one. Keep the obligation label on $242,549,679.69. Five hundred ninety-one awards is the row count as USAspending grouped it, not a count of unique labs, named programs, or a catch-all of every 54 NAICS.
