Computer Systems Design Services federal obligations in Alaska

Computer Systems Design Services (NAICS 541512) shows $261,493,627.31 in USAspending.gov obligations coded to Alaska, across 282 awards. The pair is the industry code and the place-of-performance state (AK). Two hundred eighty-two awards against $261,493,627.31 is a mid-count professional-services file, thinner than the 541611 Alaska consulting cell in this slice. The implied mean is about $927,282 per award — a quotient of two packet facts, not a typical contract. Amounts are obligations, not outlays. No fiscal year is published in this packet.

Systems design tagged to Alaska

Computer Systems Design Services as NAICS 541512, Alaska as place of performance: 282 records summing to $261,493,627.31. A 541512 award coded outside AK is out. An award in Alaska tagged to a different NAICS is out even if the work sounds related. Alaska (AK) is the place-of-performance key. A Washington-coded systems-design award is WA even if the user is in Alaska.

Two hundred eighty-two awards against $261,493,627.31 is a mid-count professional-services file, thinner than the 541611 Alaska consulting cell in this slice. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not read 282 as 282 unique billable hours, unique IT firms, or named networks. Alaska federal spending is the all-industry state hub. NAICS 541512 is the industry book without a AK filter. Alaska industries lists other Alaska industry cells. All spending ties indexes other joins.

Do not add 541512 and 541611 Alaska dollars. They are different NAICS keys on the same state. Correlation is not causation: Alaska did not “cause” $261,493,627.31 by existing as a large or small place. Population and outcome scores are not packet facts. The join is 541512 × AK only.

IT hours are unpublished

$261,493,627.31 does not measure billable hours, unique IT firms, or named networks. Those series are not USAspending fields on this aggregate. The cell sums award obligations with NAICS 541512 and a AK place-of-performance tag. Management consulting is 541611. This cell is computer systems design services, 541512.

Do not treat 282 awards as a census of billable hours, unique IT firms, or named networks. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If Alaska federal spending or NAICS 541512 matched $261,493,627.31 and 282, the join would be pointless. Keep both keys on. Washington, Oregon, and Hawaii 541512 joins are other pairs, not addends.

Alaska is not a Pacific systems catchment

Place of performance AK is a geography tag on the award, not a metro list and not a commuting zone. Alaska (AK) is the place-of-performance key. A Washington-coded systems-design award is WA even if the user is in Alaska. Recipient headquarters can differ from that state tag.

Do not add 541512 and 541611 Alaska dollars. They are different NAICS keys on the same state. This packet does not split $261,493,627.31 by city, county, or named facility. 282 awards stay statewide. A county table would be a different extract.

Design-services stock versus invoices paid

Even a thick or thin file records obligations, not necessarily outlays. $261,493,627.31 can include amounts that pay on a later schedule. Citing it as cash already sent in Alaska confuses two concepts. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total.

Alaska’s own budget is a different ledger. Mixing it with the 282-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 $261,493,627.31. Two hundred eighty-two awards is the row count as USAspending grouped it, not a count of billable hours, unique IT firms, or named networks.

Citing NAICS 541512 in Alaska

Cite USAspending.gov: Computer Systems Design Services (NAICS 541512) obligated $261,493,627.31 on 282 awards coded to Alaska. Name both sides. Keep “obligations.” Do not relabel the total as billable hours, unique IT firms, or named networks.

Alaska federal spending still includes every other NAICS tagged to AK. NAICS 541512 is the 541512 parent without the AK filter. Alaska industries holds other Alaska industry joins. All spending ties indexes other pairs. Do not add those parents into $261,493,627.31.

A usable footnote names NAICS 541512, Alaska, $261,493,627.31, and 282. The compact headline $261M is that same dollar total rounded. It is not a second extract. The implied mean near $927,282 is $261,493,627.31 divided by 282. Means are not medians. USAspending.gov remains the originating system.
