Custom Computer Programming Services federal obligations in District of Columbia (NAICS 541511)

What the custom computer programming–District of Columbia join is

NAICS 541511 and place-of-performance state DC meet on this tie. $175,777,772 is the obligation sum on awards that carry both tags. It is not the nationwide total for custom computer programming, not District of Columbia’s entire federal inflow, and not cash already paid. 541511 is custom computer programming services, not software publishers (511210) and not DC’s 921190 general government support join.

387 is an award-action count. Modifications, delivery orders, and repeat vehicles add rows. Unique vendors are not published in this packet. Dividing $175,777,772 by 387 yields about $454,206 per award on average. The join does not rank District of Columbia against other states and does not assign a fiscal year; none is in the facts.

NAICS 541511 as the industry side

USAspending labels NAICS 541511 as Custom Computer Programming Services. Custom Computer Programming Services is a professional-services NAICS. Packaged or licensed software can land on 511210 while custom development lands here. The extract does not split languages, defense, or civilian systems. DC’s 921190 residual public-administration join is a different code. The industry hub for NAICS 541511 does not require District of Columbia geography; only this overlay applies both filters.

A second custom computer programming join in another state uses the same NAICS and a different dollar total. Do not treat District of Columbia’s 541511 figure as a synonym for every custom computer programming award in the catalog. 541511 is custom computer programming services, not software publishers (511210) and not DC’s 921190 general government support join. Award titles on the NAICS 541511 page are the place to see what a given line bought.

Award count, mean, and obligations

An obligation is a legal commitment. $175,777,772 is that kind of sum. Outlays can lag. This packet has no outlay total and no fiscal-year split. Citing $175,777,772 as cash already spent in District of Columbia over-reads the field.

What this pair does not prove

FEC donations are a different dataset. Keep $175,777,772 labeled as NAICS 541511 obligations with District of Columbia place of performance. Campaign contributions and USAspending awards are different datasets; this page does not claim donations fund these obligations.

Open District of Columbia federal spending for the state rollup, NAICS 541511 for the industry hub, District of Columbia industries for other NAICS in the same geography, and All spending ties for other pairs.
