Computer Systems Design Services federal obligations in Alabama

What NAICS 541512 and Alabama share on one row

NAICS 541512 and place-of-performance state AL meet here. $326,469,454.32 is the obligation sum on awards that carry both tags. It is not every federal award in Alabama, not the nationwide Computer Systems Design Services total, and not cash already paid. Alabama systems-integrator folklore and statewide computer systems design services stories may send a reader here. Those stories are not a plant list and not a systems-design actions census. NAICS 541512 is computer systems design services, not custom programming (541511) and not other computer related services (541519).

331 award actions sit behind that dollar figure — hundreds of rows beside $326,469,454.32. Hundreds of rows can mix modifications with larger instruments. The join does not rank Alabama against other states and does not name vendors, facilities, or systems-design actions inside the extract. Unique recipients are unpublished on this page.

Open Alabama federal spending for the statewide table, NAICS 541512 for the industry hub without a Alabama filter, Alabama industries for other Alabama industry cells, and All spending ties for other pairs. Do not add those parent pages into $326,469,454.32.

Systems-design awards under an Alabama geography tag

Dividing $326,469,454.32 by 331 yields about $986,313 per award on average. That average hides contracts, grants, and other instruments. It is not a typical systems-design invoice. A second 541512 slice on another state uses the same NAICS code and a different dollar total. Do not treat Alabama's 541512 total as a synonym for every federal computer systems design purchase. Alabama systems-integrator folklore is a coding conversation, not a packet field.

Recipient rows live on the industry and state hubs, not in this narrative's extra columns. 331 is an award-record count, including modifications, not a count of systems-design actions and not a unique-firm census. Keep 541512 and AL as the join key even when a later USAspending ingest restates $326,469,454.32.

NAICS 541512 without a Alabama overlay is a different total

The NAICS 541512 page aggregates NAICS 541512 without requiring AL geography. The Alabama federal spending page aggregates all agencies and industries with Alabama place of performance. Alabama industries lists other industry cells in the same state. Only this tie applies both the 541512 filter and the AL filter, which is why it cites 331 awards and $326,469,454.32.

Place of performance in Alabama is a USAspending geography field. Awards can list AL while work occurs in Georgia or Tennessee. 541512 awards coded to those states do not sit in this total even if a vendor's mailroom is in Huntsville. This packet does not split Huntsville, Birmingham, or Montgomery. Place of performance is a tag, not proof that every systems-design action stayed inside Alabama.

Obligations, not outlays

An obligation is a legal commitment. An outlay is a payment. $326,469,454.32 is the former. This packet has no outlay total, no fiscal-year split, and no de-obligation history. Citing the figure as money already spent in Alabama over-reads the field. Award count 331 is a record count, not a payment count.

Readers who need transaction-level detail should use Alabama federal spending, NAICS 541512, and Alabama industries. All spending ties does not hide a blended statewide total under this slug. Keep the obligation label on $326,469,454.32 in every reuse.

What this Alabama–541512 pair does not prove

A computer systems design services total in Alabama does not mean the industry caused Alabama's industrial mix, and it does not connect these obligations to campaign contributions. Correlation between plant geography and computer systems design awards is expected; it is not a finding about readiness, waste, or local employment. FEC individual contributions are a different dataset.

Keep $326,469,454.32 labeled as NAICS 541512 obligations with Alabama place of performance. An industry name that appears near a donor occupation is a coincidence of labeling, not a cash pipeline into USAspending. Alabama federal spending still includes other NAICS codes that must not be folded into this cell.

How to cite the Alabama–541512 pair

A clean footnote names NAICS 541512 (Computer Systems Design Services), Alabama place of performance, $326,469,454.32 in obligations, and 331 awards on USAspending.gov. Keep the obligation word. Do not call $326,469,454.32 cash outlays. Mean dollars per action remain about $986,313 if you divide those two facts — a ratio, not a typical systems-design invoice. Alabama federal spending, NAICS 541512, Alabama industries, and All spending ties keep the same unit.

A later ingest can restate $326,469,454.32 without changing the join of 541512 and AL. Rewrite only the sentence whose source moved. Huntsville-versus-Birmingham folklore is not a metro split in this packet. Do not treat 331 as a unique-firm census. Unique recipients are not published here. Keep NAICS 541512 and AL as the join key. Those stories are not a plant list and not a systems-design actions census. Correlation is not causation.

Readers who reuse AL computer systems design | USAspending $326.5M should keep both sides of the join in the same sentence, cite USAspending.gov as the source, and treat award rows as records rather than unique vendors. The live hubs linked from this page can refresh the snapshot; this narrative does not invent a fiscal year, a recipient list, or an outlay total that the packet omitted. Place of performance remains a geography tag, not proof that work stayed inside Alabama. NAICS 541512 without the AL filter is a different total on NAICS 541512. Statewide spending without the 541512 filter is a different total on Alabama federal spending. Alabama industries keeps sibling Alabama codes unmerged. All spending ties indexes other pairs. Quote 331 awards and $326,469,454.32 together whenever the computer systems design cell in Alabama is cited.
