What NAICS 541512 and District of Columbia share on one row

NAICS 541512 and place-of-performance state DC meet here. $364,572,129 is the obligation sum on awards that carry both tags. It is not every federal award in District of Columbia, not the nationwide Computer Systems Design Services total, and not cash already paid. District 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).

4,463 award actions sit behind that dollar figure — thousands of rows beside $364,572,129. Thick books often mix small orders with larger vehicles. The join does not rank District of Columbia against other states and does not name vendors, facilities, or systems-design actions inside the extract. Unique recipients are unpublished on this page.

Open District of Columbia federal spending for the statewide table, NAICS 541512 for the industry hub without a District of Columbia filter, District of Columbia industries for other District of Columbia industry cells, and All spending ties for other pairs. Do not add those parent pages into $364,572,129.

A thick systems-design book in the District

Dividing $364,572,129 by 4,463 yields about $81,688 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 District of Columbia's 541512 total as a synonym for every federal computer systems design purchase. District 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. 4,463 is an award-record count, including modifications, not a count of systems-design actions and not a unique-firm census. Keep 541512 and DC as the join key even when a later USAspending ingest restates $364,572,129.

NAICS 541512 without a District of Columbia overlay is a different total

The NAICS 541512 page aggregates NAICS 541512 without requiring DC geography. The District of Columbia federal spending page aggregates all agencies and industries with District of Columbia place of performance. District of Columbia industries lists other industry cells in the same state. Only this tie applies both the 541512 filter and the DC filter, which is why it cites 4,463 awards and $364,572,129.

Place of performance in District of Columbia is a USAspending geography field. Awards can list DC while work occurs in Maryland or Virginia. 541512 awards coded to those states do not sit in this total even if a vendor's mailroom is in Downtown. This packet does not split Downtown, NoMa, or Southwest. Place of performance is a tag, not proof that every systems-design action stayed inside District of Columbia.

Obligations, not outlays

An obligation is a legal commitment. An outlay is a payment. $364,572,129 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 District of Columbia over-reads the field. Award count 4,463 is a record count, not a payment count.

Readers who need transaction-level detail should use District of Columbia federal spending, NAICS 541512, and District of Columbia industries. All spending ties does not hide a blended statewide total under this slug. Keep the obligation label on $364,572,129 in every reuse.

What this District of Columbia–541512 pair does not prove

A computer systems design services total in District of Columbia does not mean the industry caused District of Columbia'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 $364,572,129 labeled as NAICS 541512 obligations with District of Columbia place of performance. An industry name that appears near a donor occupation is a coincidence of labeling, not a cash pipeline into USAspending. District of Columbia federal spending still includes other NAICS codes that must not be folded into this cell.

How to cite the District of Columbia–541512 pair

A clean footnote names NAICS 541512 (Computer Systems Design Services), District of Columbia place of performance, $364,572,129 in obligations, and 4,463 awards on USAspending.gov. Keep the obligation word. Do not call $364,572,129 cash outlays. Mean dollars per action remain about $81,688 if you divide those two facts — a ratio, not a typical systems-design invoice.

A later ingest can restate $364,572,129 without changing the join of 541512 and DC. Rewrite only the sentence whose source moved. Downtown-versus-NoMa folklore is not a metro split in this packet. Do not treat 4,463 as a unique-firm census. Unique recipients are not published here. Keep NAICS 541512 and DC 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 DC computer systems design | USAspending $364.6M 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 District of Columbia. NAICS 541512 without the DC filter is a different total on NAICS 541512.
