Computing Infrastructure Providers, Data Processing, Web Hosting, And Related Services federal obligations in District of Columbia

Data processing tagged to the District of Columbia

Computing Infrastructure Providers, Data Processing, Web Hosting, And Related Services as NAICS 518210, District of Columbia as place of performance: 257 records summing to $208,548,281.44. A 518210 award coded outside DC is out. An award in District of Columbia tagged to a different NAICS is out even if the work sounds related. District of Columbia (DC) excludes Maryland and Virginia. A Virginia-coded hosting award is VA even if the user sits in the District.

Two hundred fifty-seven awards against $208,548,281.44 is a mid-count services file, thinner in rows than many catalog NAICS and thicker than a fifteen-row credit cell. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not read 257 as 257 unique servers, unique data centers, or named cloud regions. District of Columbia federal spending is the all-industry state hub. NAICS 518210 is the industry book without a DC filter. District of Columbia industries lists other District of Columbia industry cells. All spending ties indexes other joins.

Do not treat 257 as a census of District data centers. Unique recipients are unpublished. Correlation is not causation: District of Columbia did not “cause” $208,548,281.44 by existing as a large or small place. Population and outcome scores are not packet facts. The join is 518210 × DC only.

Server counts are unpublished

$208,548,281.44 does not measure servers, unique data centers, or named cloud regions. Those series are not USAspending fields on this aggregate. The cell sums award obligations with NAICS 518210 and a DC place-of-performance tag. This 518210 District cell is not electronic computer manufacturing (334111) on the same geography. Hosting is a services class; 334111 is a factory class.

Do not treat 257 awards as a census of servers, unique data centers, or named cloud regions. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If District of Columbia federal spending or NAICS 518210 matched $208,548,281.44 and 257, the join would be pointless. Keep both keys on. Maryland and Virginia 518210 joins are other pairs, not addends.

The District is not a National Capital hosting map

Place of performance DC is a geography tag on the award, not a metro list and not a commuting zone. District of Columbia (DC) excludes Maryland and Virginia. A Virginia-coded hosting award is VA even if the user sits in the District. Recipient headquarters can differ from that state tag.

Do not treat 257 as a census of District data centers. Unique recipients are unpublished. This packet does not split $208,548,281.44 by city, county, or named facility. 257 awards stay statewide. A county table would be a different extract.

Hosting awards still mean obligations

Even a thick or thin file records obligations, not necessarily outlays. $208,548,281.44 can include amounts that pay on a later schedule. Citing it as cash already sent in District of Columbia confuses two concepts. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total.

District of Columbia’s own budget is a different ledger. Mixing it with the 257-award USAspending file leaves this series. No fiscal year is published in this packet, so this page does not invent one. Keep the obligation label on $208,548,281.44. Two hundred fifty-seven awards is the row count as USAspending grouped it, not a count of servers, unique data centers, or named cloud regions.

Citing NAICS 518210 in the District of Columbia

Name both sides. Keep “obligations.” Do not relabel the total as servers, unique data centers, or named cloud regions.

District of Columbia federal spending still includes every other NAICS tagged to DC. NAICS 518210 is the 518210 parent without the DC filter. District of Columbia industries holds other District of Columbia industry joins. All spending ties indexes other pairs. Do not add those parents into $208,548,281.44.

A usable footnote names NAICS 518210, District of Columbia, $208,548,281.44, and 257. The compact headline $209M is that same dollar total rounded. It is not a second extract. The implied mean near $811,472 is $208,548,281.44 divided by 257. Means are not medians. USAspending.gov remains the originating system.
