Architectural Services federal obligations in Kansas (NAICS 541310)

NAICS 541310 and Kansas as a design join

This page intersects one six-digit industry and one state. $15,243,773.10 is the obligation sum where both filters are true. NAICS 541310 is architectural services, not landscape architectural services and not engineering services. It is not a statewide spending total and not a national NAICS 541310 total. Those parent tables live on Kansas federal spending and NAICS 541310.

41 awards against $15.2 million is a mid-count design book with a higher implied mean than a 100-plus-line file. 41 is an award-record count. Modifications can sit beside base awards. The packet does not say how many unique vendors produced the 41 lines. Reading 41 as architecture studios in Kansas would confuse actions with establishments. Kansas and Nebraska can share the same NAICS without sharing award-count shape; do not paste one state’s mean onto the other.

Kansas industries lists other NAICS codes with KS place of performance. All spending ties indexes other state–industry pairs. Do not sum those indexes into $15,243,773.10. The headline remains $15,243,773.10 on 41 awards for this pair alone. Kansas federal spending is larger because it includes other NAICS. NAICS 541310 is larger because it includes other states. This tie is the intersection.

Kansas architecture, not engineering services

NAICS 541310 is a Census industry code assigned on the award. NAICS 541310 is architectural services, not landscape architectural services (541320) and not engineering services (541330). Those neighboring codes never enter $15,243,773.10 unless they also appear as 541310, which they do not. Keep the six-digit label when you cite the Kansas cell. Residual or neighboring codes are easy to merge in speech and wrong to merge in this table.

Dividing $15,243,773.10 by 41 produces about $371,799.34. That quotient is arithmetic, not a typical Kansas 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. A high mean can be one vehicle; a low mean can be many delivery orders. This extract cannot tell those stories apart. Unique recipients are unpublished.

Kansas geography on a 541310 cell

Kansas place of performance can cover Wichita, Topeka, a federal campus, or a reporting address. The packet has no county split. Inside the KS tag, Wichita, Topeka, or a named professional services site are not broken out. The packet has one state key. Splitting $15,243,773.10 across those names would be invention. A named city can sit inside $15,243,773.10 only if its awards carry NAICS 541310 and KS — which this narrative cannot verify.

USAspending place of performance is a reporting field. It can diverge from headquarters, from where parts were made, or from where staff sat. This page repeats the coded Kansas tag. It does not audit the field. Kansas federal spending uses the same geography convention across industries. Place-of-performance geography is not the same as contractor headquarters.

Obligations versus outlays for Kansas 541310

USAspending obligations are commitments, not checks that have cleared. $15,243,773.10 can include amounts that will be paid later, cancelled, or modified. The packet does not publish outlays. 41 is not a payment count. Quote NAICS 541310 in Kansas as obligations and leave fiscal-year folklore off the citation — years are unpublished here. Do not call $15,243,773.10 “spent in Kansas this year.”

What the architecture–Kansas pair does not prove

The architecture–Kansas pair does not prove that Kansas specialized in this industry because of federal demand, or the reverse. Correlation is not causation. Federal awards in one NAICS do not explain Kansas employment, and itemized campaign gifts do not pay USAspending obligations. Different statutes, different tables. This page names no contractors. Cite NAICS 541310 and Kansas together so the join stays visible. Kansas industries and All spending ties are the related indexes.
