Architectural services federal obligations in the District of Columbia (NAICS 541310)

NAICS 541310 dollars tagged to the District

NAICS 541310 and geography DC meet in this cell. $120,320,402.46 is the USAspending.gov obligation sum on awards that carry both tags. It is not the industry’s national total, not District of Columbia’s entire federal inflow, and not an outlay. NAICS 541310 is architectural services, including building design, not engineering services and not construction of the building itself. The pair is the only object this page measures.

581 awards sit beside $120,320,402.46. 581 awards against $120.3 million is a mid-scale professional-services book: hundreds of actions rather than a handful of mega-design vehicles. The count can include contracts, orders, and modifications. Treating 581 as a roster of plants, crews, or patients would misread award records as people. Unique recipients are unpublished on this packet.

Open District of Columbia federal spending for every industry coded to the state, NAICS 541310 for the code without a state filter, District of Columbia industries for the state industry index, and All spending ties for other pairs. Do not add those parent tables into $120,320,402.46.

Architectural services, not engineering or construction

NAICS 541310 is architectural services, including building design, not engineering services and not construction of the building itself. Sibling NAICS codes stay on other industry pages: Engineering services (541330) and landscape architectural services (541320) are different codes if they appear at all. Mixing those dollars into $120,320,402.46 would invent a roll-up the packet does not publish. NAICS 541310 is the only industry key on this District of Columbia tie.

Dividing $120,320,402.46 by 581 awards yields about $207,092 per award. That mean is a ratio of two packet facts, not a typical invoice and not a median. Design fees and construction dollars often sit on different NAICS. Do not treat this cell as the District’s entire facilities budget. The packet has no fiscal-year split and no de-obligation history.

District geography on an architecture cell

District of Columbia place of performance is not Maryland or Virginia. The DC tag also does not split downtown from Anacostia or a named campus. All share one geography key. a named federal campus, a downtown studio, or a reporting address in Northwest share the DC place-of-performance tag inside $120,320,402.46. This extract does not publish a city or county split. Naming one campus as the whole District of Columbia book adds a label the facts do not carry.

Place of performance can follow a payee address, in-state work, or a reporting convention. Awards coded to another state do not enter this sum even if a vendor’s mailroom sits in District of Columbia. The join cannot re-allocate dollars along a supply chain. District of Columbia federal spending still includes every other NAICS coded to DC.

Obligations, not outlays, on District 541310

An obligation is a legal commitment. An outlay is a payment. $120,320,402.46 is the former. This packet has no outlay total, no fiscal-year split, and no de-obligation history. Citing the figure as cash already cleared in District of Columbia over-reads the field. 581 remains an award-record count, not a payment count and not a beneficiary roster. Keep the obligation word when you quote NAICS 541310 in District of Columbia.

What the architecture–District pair does not prove

A large architectural services total in District of Columbia does not mean the industry caused the state’s economy, and it does not connect these obligations to campaign contributions. Correlation is not causation. Design fees and construction dollars often sit on different NAICS. Do not treat this cell as the District’s entire facilities budget. Keep $120,320,402.46 labeled as NAICS 541310 obligations with District of Columbia place of performance. NAICS 541310 is the national industry hub; District of Columbia industries lists other codes in the state; All spending ties indexes other pairs.
