Custom Computer Programming Services federal obligations in Colorado (NAICS 541511)
A few hundred custom-programming awards sit under a Colorado place-of-performance stamp. USAspending.gov records $88,570,014.93 in Custom Computer Programming Services (NAICS 541511) obligations with Colorado place of performance, across 329 awards. 329 awards against about $88.6 million is a mid-size software-services cell, denser in dollars than in rows. Implied mean obligation per award is about $269,210. This page is the NAICS-and-state join, not a developer headcount, a named software vendor, or cash already paid.

NAICS 541511 dollars tagged to Colorado
NAICS 541511 and geography CO meet in this cell. $88,570,014.93 is the USAspending.gov obligation sum on awards that carry both tags. It is not the industry’s national total, not Colorado’s entire federal inflow, and not an outlay. NAICS 541511 is custom computer programming services, not computing-infrastructure hosting and not computer-systems design. The pair is the only object this page measures.
329 awards sit beside $88,570,014.93. 329 awards against about $88.6 million is a mid-size software-services cell, denser in dollars than in rows. The count can include contracts, orders, and modifications. Treating 329 as a roster of plants, crews, or patients would misread award records as people. Unique recipients are unpublished on this packet.
Open Colorado federal spending (/states/co/) for every industry coded to the state, NAICS 541511 (/industries/541511/) for the code without a state filter, Colorado industries (/states/co/industries/) for the state industry index, and All spending ties (/ties/) for other pairs. Do not add those parent tables into $88,570,014.93.
Custom programming, not hosting infrastructure
NAICS 541511 is custom computer programming services, not computing-infrastructure hosting and not computer-systems design. Sibling NAICS codes stay on other industry pages: Colorado’s hosting/data-processing join and systems-design pages stay separate even when the geography matches. Mixing those dollars into $88,570,014.93 would invent a roll-up the packet does not publish. NAICS 541511 is the only industry key on this Colorado tie.
Dividing $88,570,014.93 by 329 awards yields about $269,210 per award. That mean is a ratio of two packet facts, not a typical invoice and not a median. Custom programming is a services code, not a hardware NAICS. This extract does not name applications, repos, or primes. The packet has no fiscal-year split and no de-obligation history.
Colorado geography on a 541511 cell
Colorado place of performance can cover Denver, Colorado Springs, Boulder, or a reporting address. The packet has no city split. Denver, Boulder, or a named programming shop share the CO place-of-performance tag inside $88,570,014.93. This extract does not publish a city or county split. Naming one campus as the whole Colorado book adds a label the facts do not carry.
Place of performance can follow a payee address, in-state work, or a reporting convention. Awards coded to another state do not enter this sum even if a vendor’s mailroom sits in Colorado. The join cannot re-allocate dollars along a supply chain. Colorado federal spending still includes every other NAICS coded to CO.
Obligations, not outlays, on Colorado 541511
An obligation is a legal commitment. An outlay is a payment. $88,570,014.93 is the former. This packet has no outlay total, no fiscal-year split, and no de-obligation history. Citing the figure as cash already cleared in Colorado over-reads the field. 329 remains an award-record count, not a payment count and not a beneficiary roster. Keep the obligation word when you quote NAICS 541511 in Colorado.
What the programming–Colorado pair does not prove
A large custom programming total in Colorado does not mean the industry caused the state’s economy, and it does not connect these obligations to campaign contributions. Correlation is not causation. Custom programming is a services code, not a hardware NAICS. This extract does not name applications, repos, or primes. Keep $88,570,014.93 labeled as NAICS 541511 obligations with Colorado place of performance. FEC donation tables do not fund these USAspending awards.
How to cite NAICS 541511 in Colorado
A clean footnote names NAICS 541511 (Custom Computer Programming Services), Colorado place of performance, $88,570,014.93 in obligations, and 329 awards on USAspending.gov. Keep the obligation word.

Quote /states/co/ if you need every industry in the state, /industries/541511/ if you need the code without the CO filter, /states/co/industries/ for the in-state NAICS index, and /ties/ for other joins.
