Computing infrastructure and data processing in Alaska (NAICS 518210)
One hundred four computing-infrastructure awards are coded to Alaska. USAspending.gov lists $82,331,667.04 in NAICS 518210 (Computing Infrastructure Providers, Data Processing, Web Hosting, And Related Services) obligations with Alaska place of performance. The pair is a hosting-and-processing cell, not Alaska’s full federal total and not every 518210 award nationwide. Mean obligation per award is about $791,651, arithmetic from two packet facts rather than a typical cloud invoice. Original filings remain on USAspending.gov. This page is a join of one NAICS industry and one place-of-performance state; it is not a ranking, not a recipient roster, and not a claim that campaign donations fund these awards.
Key figures
- NAICS 518210 in Alaska: $82,331,667.04 across 104 USAspending awards.
- Implied mean about $791,651 per award, not a typical invoice.
- The total is obligations, not outlays, and not systems-design spending.
- Cite USAspending.gov; keep both sides of the join.
NAICS 518210 and Alaska as a computing-infrastructure join
This page intersects one six-digit industry and one state. $82,331,667.04 is the obligation sum where both filters are true. NAICS 518210 is computing infrastructure providers, data processing, web hosting, and related services, not a statewide spending total and not a national 518210 rollup. Those parent tables live on Alaska federal spending and NAICS 518210.
104 awards against $82.3 million is a concentrated IT-infrastructure cell. 104 is an award-record count. Modifications can sit beside base awards. The packet does not say how many unique vendors produced the 104 lines. Reading 104 as data centers, racks, or clinics in Alaska would confuse actions with establishments.
Alaska industries lists other NAICS codes with AK place of performance. All spending ties indexes other state–industry pairs. Do not sum those indexes into $82,331,667.04. The headline remains $82,331,667.04 on 104 awards for this pair alone.
The overlay exists because two filters are true at once. Quote the industry code and the state together whenever you reuse the headline dollar figure. The packet publishes an obligation sum and an award-action count; it does not publish unique vendors, a median, outlays, or a fiscal year. Parent hubs remain the place to see the statewide mix and the national industry page without the other filter.
Hosting and processing, not systems design
USAspending labels NAICS 518210 as Computing Infrastructure Providers, Data Processing, Web Hosting, And Related Services. The packet does not name clouds, agencies, or primes. Systems-design and facilities-management codes never enter $82,331,667.04 unless they also appear as 518210, which they do not. Keep the six-digit label when you cite the Alaska cell.
Arctic-cloud folklore is ordinary speech, not extra packet dollars. Unique contractors are unpublished. Dividing $82,331,667.04 by 104 produces about $791,651. That quotient is arithmetic, not a typical Alaska contract. There is no median, no top-award table, and no fiscal-year breakout on this packet. Do not treat the mean as a posted unit price.
Alaska geography on a 518210 cell
Alaska place of performance can cover Anchorage, Fairbanks, or a reporting address near a federal installation. The packet has no site split. Inside the AK tag, named cities are not broken out. A named city can sit inside $82,331,667.04 only if its awards carry NAICS 518210 and AK — which this narrative cannot verify.
Place-of-performance geography is not the same as contractor headquarters. A firm based elsewhere can perform in Alaska, and an Alaska address can appear on work done out of state. This join reports the coded pair, not a hosting map. Alaska federal spending remains the statewide parent.
Obligations versus outlays for Alaska 518210
USAspending obligations are commitments, not checks that have cleared. $82,331,667.04 can include amounts that will be paid later, cancelled, or modified. The packet does not publish outlays. 104 is not a payment count. Quote NAICS 518210 in Alaska as obligations and leave fiscal-year folklore off the citation — years are unpublished here.
What the computing-infrastructure–Alaska pair does not prove
The pair does not prove that Alaska specialized in data processing because of federal demand, or the reverse. Unique contractors are unpublished. Campaign-finance tables are a different dataset; donations do not fund these awards. Keep both sides of the join in any headline: NAICS 518210 and Alaska. Place of performance remains a geography tag, not proof that work stayed inside the named state.
How to cite computing infrastructure in Alaska
Cite USAspending.gov, NAICS 518210 (Computing Infrastructure Providers, Data Processing, Web Hosting, And Related Services), Alaska (AK), $82,331,667.04, and 104 awards. Note that the figures are obligations. Point readers to Alaska federal spending, NAICS 518210, Alaska industries, and All spending ties rather than collapsing those pages into this cell. Mean per award stays about $791,651 as a ratio only.
Readers who reuse this snapshot should keep both sides of the join in the same sentence and treat award rows as records rather than unique vendors. 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 Alaska. Keep the obligation word on $82,331,667.04 in every footnote.
Questions
- How much has NAICS 518210 obligated in Alaska?
- The pair totals $82,331,667.04 across 104 awards, per USAspending.gov NAICS industry aggregates by place of performance state. Those are obligations for computing infrastructure, data processing, and web hosting inside Alaska coding, not outlays and not every federal dollar in Alaska. Source filings stay on USAspending.gov.
- How many computing-infrastructure awards sit in Alaska?
- 104 award records produced $82,331,667.04. Concentration or dispersion is visible only as that count against that sum. About $791,651 per award is $82,331,667.04 divided by 104, not a typical Alaska purchase. The packet does not list unique recipients or a median award.
- Is this Alaska cloud hosting?
- The packet labels NAICS 518210 as computing infrastructure providers, data processing, web hosting, and related services. $82,331,667.04 is that code with Alaska place of performance. Cloud folklore is not a packet field. Quote computing infrastructure and Alaska together. Those figures are obligations, not outlays.
- Where are the parent Alaska and NAICS 518210 tables?
- Use Alaska federal spending for the statewide industry mix, NAICS 518210 for the national industry page, Alaska industries for the state NAICS index, and All spending ties for other joins. This page quotes only the 518210 × AK cell. Original filings remain on USAspending.gov.
