Custom Computer Programming Services federal obligations in Alaska (NAICS 541511)

NAICS 541511 and Alaska as a programming join

This page intersects one six-digit industry and one state. $80,016,522.61 is the obligation sum where both filters are true. NAICS 541511 is custom computer programming services, not computer-systems design and not facilities-support services. It is not a statewide spending total and not a national NAICS 541511 total. Those parent tables live on /states/ak/ and /industries/541511/.

145 awards against about $80.0 million is a thicker-dollar Alaska software cell than a tiny task-order file, still far from a catalog NAICS. 145 is an award-record count. Modifications can sit beside base awards. The packet does not say how many unique vendors produced the 145 lines. Reading 145 as factories, ships, or clinics in Alaska would confuse actions with establishments.

Alaska industries (/states/ak/industries/) lists other NAICS codes with AK place of performance. All spending ties (/ties/) indexes other state–industry pairs. Do not sum those indexes into $80,016,522.61. The headline remains $80,016,522.61 on 145 awards for this pair alone.

Custom programming, not systems-design services

NAICS 541511 is a Census industry code assigned on the award. NAICS 541511 is custom computer programming services, not computer-systems design and not facilities-support services. Computer-systems design and facilities-support services are different industry pages. Those neighboring codes never enter $80,016,522.61 unless they also appear as 541511, which they do not. Keep the six-digit label when you cite the Alaska cell.

Alaska’s 541511 cell is not Colorado’s 541511 cell. Same code, different state, different award count. This extract does not name applications or primes. Dividing $80,016,522.61 by 145 produces about $551,838. 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 541511 cell

Alaska place of performance can cover Anchorage, Fairbanks, Juneau, or a reporting address. The packet has no borough split. Inside the AK tag, Anchorage, Fairbanks, or a named programming shop are not broken out. The packet has one state key. A named city can sit inside $80,016,522.61 only if its awards carry NAICS 541511 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 a Alaska address can appear on work done out of state. This join reports the coded pair, not a logistics map. /states/ak/ remains the statewide parent.

Obligations versus outlays for Alaska 541511

USAspending obligations are commitments, not checks that have cleared. $80,016,522.61 can include amounts that will be paid later, cancelled, or modified. The packet does not publish outlays. 145 is not a payment count. Quote NAICS 541511 in Alaska as obligations and leave fiscal-year folklore off the citation — years are unpublished here.

What the programming–Alaska pair does not prove

The custom programming–Alaska pair does not prove that Alaska specialized in this industry because of federal demand, or the reverse. Alaska’s 541511 cell is not Colorado’s 541511 cell. Same code, different state, different award count. This extract does not name applications 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 541511 and Alaska.

How to cite NAICS 541511 in Alaska

Cite USAspending.gov, NAICS 541511 (Custom Computer Programming Services), Alaska (AK), $80,016,522.61, and 145 awards. Note that the figures are obligations. Point readers to /states/ak/, /industries/541511/, /states/ak/industries/, and /ties/ rather than collapsing those pages into this cell. Mean per award stays about $551,838 as a ratio only. Readers who reuse AK custom programming (541511) | $80.0M 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 541511 obligated in Alaska?

The pair totals $80,016,522.61 across 145 awards, per USAspending.gov NAICS industry aggregates by place of performance state. Those are obligations for Custom Computer Programming Services inside Alaska coding, not outlays and not every federal dollar in Alaska.

Are 145 awards an Alaska software-shop count?

145 award records produced $80,016,522.61. Concentration or dispersion is visible only as that count against that sum. About $551,838 per award is $80,016,522.61 divided by 145, not a typical Alaska purchase. The packet does not list unique recipients or a median award.

Is this the same as Colorado’s NAICS 541511 join?

No. $80,016,522.61 is NAICS 541511 with Alaska place of performance on 145 awards. A Colorado 541511 join uses a different state key. Quote 541511 and Alaska together and keep the obligation label. Original filings remain on USAspending.gov.

Where are the parent Alaska and NAICS 541511 tables?

Use /states/ak/ for the statewide industry mix, /industries/541511/ for the national industry page, /states/ak/industries/ for the state NAICS index, and /ties/ for other joins. This page quotes only the 541511 × AK cell. Original filings remain on USAspending.gov.
