Computer Systems Design (NAICS 541512) in Arkansas 3rd District (AR-03)
Place-of-performance AR-03 crossed with Computer Systems Design Services (NAICS 541512) yields $1,053,993,556.07 in USAspending.gov obligations on 3 awards. Three Computer Systems Design-coded awards equal a visible share of the district denominator. That pair is Computer Systems Design Services and Arkansas 3rd District (AR-03) — not Arkansas's entire federal inflow, not Computer Systems Design Services nationwide, and not cash already paid. The cell is 15.5% of this district's published obligation total ($6,793,611,595.52). Implied average obligation is about $351,331,185.36 ($1,053,993,556.07 ÷ 3). Correlation is not causation.

Reading the AR-03 × NAICS 541512 pair
NAICS 541512 and congressional district AR-03 meet here. $1,053,993,556.07 is the USAspending.gov obligation sum on awards that carry both tags. It is not Computer Systems Design Services's nationwide total, not every federal dollar coded to Arkansas 3rd District (AR-03), and not an outlay register. The packet does not split systems integration, network design, or other 541512 lines, and it does not split contract versus assistance. 3 is an action count: modifications and repeat awards add rows. Unique recipients are unpublished. This cell is not a named-integrator roster, a seat-license census, or a help-desk ticket log.
Dividing $1,053,993,556.07 by 3 yields about $351,331,185.36 per award on average. That ratio is two packet facts. It is not a typical IT contract, integration task order, or design award. Three awards is a thin award file. Do not treat AR-03's 541512 cell as a synonym for every Computer Systems Design account nationwide. Open Arkansas 3rd District (/districts/AR-03/) for the district table without this industry filter, NAICS 541512 (/industries/541512/) for NAICS 541512 without the AR-03 filter, Arkansas federal spending (/states/ar/) for every industry in the Arkansas extract, and All spending ties (/ties/) for the rest of the join list. Quote those hubs as parents, not as addends to $1,053,993,556.07.
NAICS 541512 versus this district tie
USAspending labels industry 541512 as Computer Systems Design Services. That code produced $1,053,993,556.07 when crossed with Arkansas 3rd District (AR-03) place of performance. The industry-wide 541512 hub does not require AR-03 geography. The district hub does not require Computer Systems Design. Only this tie applies both filters, which is why it cites 3 awards. The packet does not split systems integration, network design, or other 541512 lines, and it does not split contract versus assistance.
Correlation is not causation: Arkansas 3rd District (AR-03) did not cause $1,053,993,556.07 by existing as a large or small place. Population, outcome scores, and named facilities are not packet facts. The join is 541512 × AR-03 only. This cell is not a named-integrator roster, a seat-license census, or a help-desk ticket log. Do not invent contractors or award recipients to fill the gap. Campaign donations on FEC tables do not fund this USAspending cell; the datasets are separate.
Congressional district AR-03 on USAspending
Arkansas federal spending shows how NAICS 541512 sits beside other industry codes in the same state extract. $1,053,993,556.07 is one district-industry column, not the state table. This packet does not split Arkansas 3rd District (AR-03) by county, city, or census tract. Awards that carry a different NAICS stay on those other ties even if the work sounds related to Computer Systems Design Services. The district-wide obligation total published here is $6,793,611,595.52; $1,053,993,556.07 is the Computer Systems Design slice of that denominator.
Deobligations, recoveries, and this snapshot
USAspending.gov records an obligation when the federal government commits funds on an award. $1,053,993,556.07 is that kind of sum for Computer Systems Design Services inside AR-03 coding. Later deobligations, recoveries, or payment schedules can change what leaves the Treasury without this join rewriting itself into a cash register. Assistance and contract awards can share the same industry rollup; this packet does not split them. Net obligations can include downward adjustments. This page reports $1,053,993,556.07 as given.
Arkansas's own budget is a separate ledger. Mixing it with the 3-row Computer Systems Design cell leaves USAspending.gov. Treat 3 as award records in the aggregate, not unique vendors. Do not annualize without a year field in the packet. Do not per-capita or per-recipient the dollar total; those denominators are unpublished. The implied mean ($351,331,185.36) is a concentration statistic, not a typical AR-03 Computer Systems Design payment.
Snapshot rows and later ingests
Cite USAspending.gov: Computer Systems Design Services (NAICS 541512) obligated $1,053,993,556.07 on 3 awards coded to Arkansas 3rd District (AR-03). Name Computer Systems Design Services and Arkansas 3rd District (AR-03) together. Keep the obligation word. If Arkansas 3rd District or NAICS 541512 has refreshed, prefer the live hub over this snapshot for current rows. The pair is not a named-integrator roster, a seat-license census, or a help-desk ticket log. 15.5% of $6,793,611,595.52 is the district share on this packet, not a performance score.
Keep Computer Systems Design Services, Arkansas 3rd District (AR-03), $1,053,993,556.07, and 3 awards together. All spending ties indexes other pairs. NAICS 541512 is the 541512 parent without a AR-03 filter. Arkansas federal spending is the Arkansas parent. Do not add those parents to this cell. Sharing a district with Computer Systems Design does not mean campaign donations funded these awards, and it does not convert obligations into outlays. This page reports one USAspending join.
FEC tables do not fund this cell
Three awards is a thin award file. Volume can hide a few large assistance lines; the packet does not identify them. Unique recipients are unpublished. A large row count makes a product split tempting; the packet still does not supply one. A small row count makes a named-facility story tempting; the packet still does not name facilities or contractors. The implied mean (about $351,331,185.36) and the district share (15.5% of $6,793,611,595.52) are ratios of packet facts. Prefer Arkansas 3rd District and NAICS 541512 if the live tables moved.
Questions
- How much Computer Systems Design spending is coded to Arkansas 3rd District (AR-03)?
- USAspending.gov lists $1,053,993,556.07 in Computer Systems Design (NAICS 541512) obligations across 3 awards coded to Arkansas 3rd District (AR-03). That pair is an obligation join, not an outlay and not Arkansas's complete federal ledger. The cell is 15.5% of the district's published total ($6,793,611,595.52). Unique recipients are unpublished.
- Does this include every IT systems contract in AR-03?
- The packet publishes one NAICS rollup. It does not split design subtypes or contract versus assistance. $1,053,993,556.07 is the combined obligation sum for NAICS 541512 inside AR-03 coding. This page will not invent a service pie or name vendors. 3 remains an action count, not a seat count.
- Is $1,053,993,556.07 cash already paid in Arkansas 3rd District (AR-03)?
- No. Obligations are commitments recorded on USAspending.gov awards. Outlays — money that actually left the Treasury — are a different concept and are not this packet's headline. Treating $1,053,993,556.07 as checks already cleared in Arkansas 3rd District (AR-03) confuses those terms. Later ingests can revise 3 awards. Prefer the live district and industry hubs if the tables moved.
- Is Arkansas 3rd District (AR-03) ranked against other Arkansas districts here?
- No. This page does not rank Arkansas 3rd District (AR-03) as a winner or loser. $1,053,993,556.07 and 3 describe one join. Neighboring districts have their own cells. Cite Computer Systems Design Services and Arkansas 3rd District (AR-03) together without a league table. Confusing this join with Arkansas statewide 541512 totals or another state's 541512 overlay would be a different overlay.
