Computing infrastructure and data processing services in Virginia (NAICS 518210)

NAICS 518210 and Virginia as a hosting join

This page intersects one six-digit industry and one state. $386,058,970.02 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 systems design. It is not a statewide spending total and not a national NAICS 518210 total. Those parent tables live on Virginia federal spending and NAICS 518210.

1,418 awards against $386.1 million is a mid-thickness infrastructure-services book rather than a three-line concentrated cell. 1,418 is an award-record count. Modifications can sit beside base awards. The packet does not say how many unique vendors produced the 1,418 lines. Reading 1,418 as factories, ships, or clinics in Virginia would confuse actions with establishments.

Virginia industries lists other NAICS codes with VA place of performance. All spending ties indexes other state–industry pairs. Do not sum those indexes into $386,058,970.02. The headline remains $386,058,970.02 on 1,418 awards for this pair alone.

Hosting and processing, 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 systems design. Custom computer programming (541511) and other computer related services (541519) are different codes. Those neighboring codes never enter $386,058,970.02 unless they also appear as 518210, which they do not. Keep the six-digit label when you cite the Virginia cell.

Data-center folklore is easy to paste onto a Virginia 518210 tag. This packet does not name facilities or primes. Dividing $386,058,970.02 by 1,418 produces about $272,256. That quotient is arithmetic, not a typical Virginia 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.

Virginia geography on a 518210 cell

Virginia place of performance can cover Northern Virginia, Hampton Roads, or a reporting address. The packet has no campus split. Inside the VA tag, Ashburn, Arlington, or a named hosting campus are not broken out. The packet has one state key. A named city can sit inside $386,058,970.02 only if its awards carry NAICS 518210 and VA — which this narrative cannot verify.

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

Obligations versus outlays for Virginia 518210

USAspending obligations are commitments, not checks that have cleared. $386,058,970.02 can include amounts that will be paid later, cancelled, or modified. The packet does not publish outlays. 1,418 is not a payment count. Quote NAICS 518210 in Virginia as obligations and leave fiscal-year folklore off the citation — years are unpublished here.

What the data-processing–Virginia pair does not prove

The data processing–Virginia pair does not prove that Virginia specialized in this industry because of federal demand, or the reverse. Data-center folklore is easy to paste onto a Virginia 518210 tag. This packet does not name facilities 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 Virginia.

Questions

How much has NAICS 518210 obligated in Virginia?

The pair totals $386,058,970.02 across 1,418 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 Virginia coding, not outlays and not every federal dollar in Virginia. Source filings stay on USAspending.gov.

Are 1,418 awards 1,418 Virginia data centers?

1,418 award records produced $386,058,970.02. Concentration or dispersion is visible only as that count against that sum. About $272,256 per award is $386,058,970.02 divided by 1,418, not a typical Virginia purchase. The packet does not list unique recipients or a median award.

Is this Virginia’s custom-programming total?

No. $386,058,970.02 is the obligation sum for NAICS 518210 with Virginia place of performance on 1,418 awards. Custom programming uses a different code. A data-center census is unpublished. Quote computing infrastructure providers and Virginia together.

Where are the parent Virginia and NAICS 518210 tables?

Use Virginia federal spending for the statewide industry mix, NAICS 518210 for the national industry page, Virginia industries for the state NAICS index, and All spending ties for other joins. This page quotes only the 518210 × VA cell. Original filings remain on USAspending.gov.
