All Other Professional, Scientific, And Technical Services federal obligations in Virginia

Residual professional services tagged to Virginia

All Other Professional, Scientific, And Technical Services as NAICS 541990, Virginia as place of performance: 5,448 records summing to $1,738,704,428.76. A 541990 award coded outside VA is out. An award in Virginia tagged to a different NAICS is out even if the work sounds related. Virginia (VA) excludes Maryland, the District of Columbia, North Carolina, West Virginia, Kentucky, and Tennessee. A District-coded residual-services award is DC.

Five thousand four hundred forty-eight awards against $1,738,704,428.76 is a thick residual-services file at billion-dollar scale. Officers used 541990 when a tighter professional code did not fit. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not read 5,448 as 5,448 unique unique labs, named programs, or a catch-all of every 54 NAICS. Virginia federal spending is the all-industry state hub. NAICS 541990 is the industry book without a VA filter. Virginia industries lists other Virginia industry cells. All spending ties indexes other joins.

Do not assign 5,448 awards to Northern Virginia alone. Place of performance is VA, not a commuting zone. Correlation is not causation: Virginia did not “cause” $1,738,704,428.76 by existing as a large or small place. Population and outcome scores are not packet facts. The join is 541990 × VA only.

“All other” is leftover, not a program name

$1,738,704,428.76 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 VA place-of-performance tag. R&D except nanotechnology and biotechnology is 541715. Software publishers are 511210. This residual professional tag is 541990. Do not add the Virginia cells.

Do not treat 5,448 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 Virginia federal spending or NAICS 541990 matched $1,738,704,428.76 and 5,448, the join would be pointless. Keep both keys on. Maryland, District of Columbia, and North Carolina 541990 joins are other pairs, not addends.

Virginia statewide, not a National Capital lab map

Place of performance VA is a geography tag on the award, not a metro list and not a commuting zone. Virginia (VA) excludes Maryland, the District of Columbia, North Carolina, West Virginia, Kentucky, and Tennessee. A District-coded residual-services award is DC. Recipient headquarters can differ from that state tag.

Do not assign 5,448 awards to Northern Virginia alone. Place of performance is VA, not a commuting zone. This packet does not split $1,738,704,428.76 by city, county, or named facility. 5,448 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. $1,738,704,428.76 can include amounts that pay on a later schedule. Citing it as cash already sent in Virginia confuses two concepts. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total.

Virginia’s own budget is a different ledger. Mixing it with the 5,448-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 $1,738,704,428.76. Five thousand four hundred forty-eight 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.
