Computing infrastructure and data-processing federal obligations in Colorado (NAICS 518210)

NAICS 518210 and Colorado as a hosting join

This page intersects one six-digit industry and one state. $92,085,463.72 is the obligation sum where both filters are true. NAICS 518210 is computing infrastructure providers, data processing, web hosting, and related services, not custom programming and not computer-systems design. It is not a statewide spending total and not a national NAICS 518210 total. Those parent tables live on /states/co/ and /industries/518210/.

124 awards against about $92.1 million is a thick-dollar, thin-row hosting cell: few actions relative to the sum. 124 is an award-record count. Modifications can sit beside base awards. The packet does not say how many unique vendors produced the 124 lines. Reading 124 as factories, ships, or clinics in Colorado would confuse actions with establishments.

Colorado industries (/states/co/industries/) lists other NAICS codes with CO place of performance. All spending ties (/ties/) indexes other state–industry pairs. Do not sum those indexes into $92,085,463.72. The headline remains $92,085,463.72 on 124 awards for this pair alone.

Infrastructure hosting, not custom programming

NAICS 518210 is a Census industry code assigned on the award. NAICS 518210 is computing infrastructure providers, data processing, web hosting, and related services, not custom programming and not computer-systems design. Custom computer programming and systems-design services are different industry pages even when they share a Colorado tag. Those neighboring codes never enter $92,085,463.72 unless they also appear as 518210, which they do not. Keep the six-digit label when you cite the Colorado cell.

Hosting and data-processing labels gather infrastructure services. This extract does not name clouds, racks, or primes. Dividing $92,085,463.72 by 124 produces about $742,625. That quotient is arithmetic, not a typical Colorado 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.

Colorado geography on a 518210 cell

Colorado place of performance can cover Denver, Colorado Springs, Boulder, or a reporting address. The packet has no metro split. Inside the CO tag, Denver, Boulder, or a named hosting site are not broken out. The packet has one state key. A named city can sit inside $92,085,463.72 only if its awards carry NAICS 518210 and CO — which this narrative cannot verify.

Place-of-performance geography is not the same as contractor headquarters. A firm based elsewhere can perform in Colorado, and a Colorado address can appear on work done out of state. This join reports the coded pair, not a logistics map. /states/co/ remains the statewide parent.

Obligations versus outlays for Colorado 518210

USAspending obligations are commitments, not checks that have cleared. $92,085,463.72 can include amounts that will be paid later, cancelled, or modified. The packet does not publish outlays. 124 is not a payment count. Quote NAICS 518210 in Colorado as obligations and leave fiscal-year folklore off the citation — years are unpublished here.

What the hosting–Colorado pair does not prove

The computing infrastructure–Colorado pair does not prove that Colorado specialized in this industry because of federal demand, or the reverse. Hosting and data-processing labels gather infrastructure services. This extract does not name clouds, racks, or primes. 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 Colorado.

How to cite NAICS 518210 in Colorado

Cite USAspending.gov, NAICS 518210 (Computing Infrastructure Providers, Data Processing, Web Hosting, And Related Services), Colorado (CO), $92,085,463.72, and 124 awards. Note that the figures are obligations. Point readers to /states/co/, /industries/518210/, /states/co/industries/, and /ties/ rather than collapsing those pages into this cell. Mean per award stays about $742,625 as a ratio only. Readers who reuse CO computing infrastructure (518210) | $92.1M 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 the named state.

Questions

How much has NAICS 518210 obligated in Colorado?

The pair totals $92,085,463.72 across 124 awards, per USAspending.gov NAICS industry aggregates by place of performance state. Those are obligations for Computing Infrastructure Providers, Data Processing, Web Hosting, And Related Services inside Colorado coding, not outlays and not every federal dollar in Colorado.

Are 124 awards a Colorado data-center count?

124 award records produced $92,085,463.72. Concentration or dispersion is visible only as that count against that sum. About $742,625 per award is $92,085,463.72 divided by 124, not a typical Colorado purchase. The packet does not list unique recipients or a median award.

Is this Colorado custom programming spending?

No. $92,085,463.72 is NAICS 518210 — computing infrastructure providers, data processing, web hosting, and related services — with Colorado place of performance on 124 awards. Programming codes sit elsewhere. Quote 518210 and Colorado together. Original filings remain on USAspending.gov.

Where are the parent Colorado and NAICS 518210 tables?

Use /states/co/ for the statewide industry mix, /industries/518210/ for the national industry page, /states/co/industries/ for the state NAICS index, and /ties/ for other joins. This page quotes only the 518210 × CO cell. Original filings remain on USAspending.gov.
