Collection Agencies federal obligations in Iowa (NAICS 561440)

NAICS 561440 dollars tagged to Iowa

This page intersects one six-digit industry and one state. $13,500,000 is the obligation sum where both filters are true. NAICS 561440 is collection agencies, not credit bureaus and not financial transactions processing, reserve, and clearinghouse activities. It is not a statewide spending total and not a national NAICS 561440 total. Those parent tables live on Iowa federal spending and NAICS 561440.

5 awards against $13,500,000 is a concentrated collections book, not a thick call-center file. 5 is an award-record count. Modifications can sit beside base awards. The packet does not say how many unique vendors produced the 5 lines. Reading 5 as collection agencies in Iowa would confuse actions with establishments. A five-line book with a multi-million mean usually means large vehicles; the packet still does not name vendors.

Iowa industries lists other NAICS codes with IA place of performance. All spending ties indexes other state–industry pairs. Do not sum those indexes into $13,500,000. The headline remains $13,500,000 on 5 awards for this pair alone. Iowa federal spending is larger because it includes other NAICS. NAICS 561440 is larger because it includes other states. This tie is the intersection.

Collection agencies, not credit bureaus

NAICS 561440 is a Census industry code assigned on the award. NAICS 561440 is collection agencies, not credit bureaus (561450) and not financial transactions processing, reserve, and clearinghouse activities (522320). Those neighboring codes never enter $13,500,000 unless they also appear as 561440, which they do not. Keep the six-digit label when you cite the Iowa cell. Residual or neighboring codes are easy to merge in speech and wrong to merge in this table.

Dividing $13,500,000 by 5 produces about $2,700,000. That quotient is arithmetic, not a typical Iowa 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 Unique recipients are unpublished.

Iowa geography on a 561440 cell

Iowa place of performance can cover Des Moines, Cedar Rapids, a processing campus, or a reporting address. The packet has no county split. Inside the IA tag, Des Moines, Cedar Rapids, or a named business support site are not broken out. The packet has one state key. Splitting $13,500,000 across those names would be invention. A named city can sit inside $13,500,000 only if its awards carry NAICS 561440 and IA — 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 Iowa tag. It does not audit the field. Iowa federal spending uses the same geography convention across industries. Place-of-performance geography is not the same as contractor headquarters.

Obligations, not outlays, on Iowa 561440

USAspending obligations are commitments, not checks that have cleared. $13,500,000 can include amounts that will be paid later, cancelled, or modified. The packet does not publish outlays. 5 is not a payment count. Quote NAICS 561440 in Iowa as obligations and leave fiscal-year folklore off the citation — years are unpublished here. Do not call $13,500,000 “spent in Iowa this year.”

What the collections–Iowa pair does not prove

The collections–Iowa pair does not prove that Iowa specialized in this industry because of federal demand, or the reverse. Correlation is not causation. Federal awards in one NAICS do not explain Iowa employment, and itemized campaign gifts do not pay USAspending obligations. Different statutes, different tables. This page names no contractors. Cite NAICS 561440 and Iowa together so the join stays visible. Iowa industries and All spending ties are the related indexes.
