Computer Systems Design Services federal obligations in Illinois (NAICS 541512)

The NAICS 541512 filter plus Illinois

NAICS 541512 and place-of-performance state IL meet here. $249,204,784.95 is the obligation sum on awards that carry both tags. It is not nationwide Computer Systems Design Services, not Illinois's entire federal inflow, and not cash already paid. Illinois 541512 is systems design, not custom programming (541511) and not a Chicago IT-headcount. 541512 is Computer Systems Design Services, not custom programming (541511) or other computer services (541519). It-integration and systems-design folklore and lakefront and downstate-manufacturing folklore may send a reader here. Those stories are not extra packet dollars and not a census of programmers.

990 award actions sit behind that dollar figure — more than a few hundred rows can mix large instruments with smaller service awards. A long row list can mix small support payments with larger instruments. The join does not rank Illinois against other states and does not name integrators inside the extract. Unique vendors are unpublished.

Open Illinois federal spending for the statewide rollup, NAICS 541512 for the industry hub, Illinois industries for other NAICS in the same geography, and All spending ties for other pairs. Quote those hubs as parents, not as addends to $249,204,784.95.

Mean obligation of about $251,722

Dividing $249,204,784.95 by 990 yields about $251,722 per award on average. That average hides contracts, grants, and other instruments. It is not a typical systems-integration award. A second systems design join in another state uses the same NAICS and a different dollar total. Do not treat Illinois's 541512 figure as a synonym for every Computer Systems Design Services award in the catalog.

It-integration and systems-design folklore is a coding conversation, not a packet field. Industry titles on NAICS 541512 are the place to see what a given line bought. Lakefront and downstate-manufacturing folklore may explain a search path. It does not add dollars or integrators.

Place of performance versus systems design folklore

The industry hub for NAICS 541512 aggregates Computer Systems Design Services without requiring IL geography. Illinois federal spending aggregates all industries with Illinois place of performance. Illinois industries lists other NAICS in Illinois. Only this tie applies both the 541512 filter and the Illinois geography tag, which is why it cites 990 awards and $249,204,784.95.

Place of performance in Illinois is a USAspending geography field. Awards can list IL while later systems work occurs in Indiana or Wisconsin. systems design awards coded to those places do not sit in this total even if a vendor's mailroom is in Chicago. This packet does not split Chicago from Springfield or Rockford. Chicago, Springfield, and Rockford are reader landmarks, not packet subtotals.

The obligation field

An obligation is a legal commitment. An outlay is a payment. $249,204,784.95 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 Illinois over-reads the field. USAspending.gov NAICS aggregates by place of performance state are the source.

Award count 990 is a record count, not a payment count and not a unique-contractor census. Catalog lines, delivery orders, and modifications can each mint a row. Readers who need transaction-level detail should use Illinois industries and NAICS 541512. Keep the obligation word on $249,204,784.95.

What the join is not

A large systems design total in Illinois does not mean the industry caused Illinois's fiscal mix, and it does not connect these obligations to campaign contributions. Correlation between lakefront and downstate-manufacturing folklore and 541512 awards is expected; it is not a finding about waste or plant quality. No performance metric is in the packet. Illinois 541512 is systems design, not custom programming (541511) and not a Chicago IT-headcount.

Keep $249,204,784.95 labeled as NAICS 541512 obligations with Illinois place of performance. FEC individual contributions are a different dataset. Do not claim that donations paid for $249,204,784.95 in Illinois. No contractor or award-recipient names are in the packet, and none are invented.

Citing $249,204,784.95 without over-reading it

A clean footnote names NAICS 541512 (Computer Systems Design Services), Illinois place of performance, $249,204,784.95 in obligations, and 990 awards on USAspending.gov. Keep the obligation word. Do not call $249,204,784.95 cash outlays. Mean dollars per action remain about $251,722 if you divide those two facts — a ratio, not a typical systems-integration award.

Illinois federal spending, NAICS 541512, Illinois industries, and All spending ties keep the same unit. A later ingest can restate $249,204,784.95 without changing the join definition. Rewrite only the sentence whose source moved. Chicago-versus-Springfield folklore is not a metro split in this packet. Integrators names belong on the overlay if they appear as recipients; they are not extra packet dollars. Correlation is not causation.
