New York place of performance for Custom Computer Programming Services
NAICS 541511 and place-of-performance state NY meet here. $130,202,931.88 is the obligation sum on awards that carry both tags. It is not nationwide Custom Computer Programming Services, not New York's entire federal inflow, and not cash already paid. New York 541511 is custom programming, not systems design (541512) and not an Albany code-shop census. 541511 is Custom Computer Programming Services, not systems design (541512) or other computer services (541519). Bespoke-code and custom-software folklore and finance-hub and upstate-corridor folklore may send a reader here. Those stories are not extra packet dollars and not a census of programmers.
361 award actions sit behind that dollar figure — a mid-size award list beside a large obligation total. A mid-size row list can mix large instruments with smaller service awards. The join does not rank New York against other states and does not name software vendors inside the extract. Unique vendors are unpublished.
Open New York federal spending for the statewide rollup, NAICS 541511 for the industry hub, New York industries for other NAICS in the same geography, and All spending ties for other pairs. Quote those hubs as parents, not as addends to $130,202,931.88.
Award count 361 is a record count
Dividing $130,202,931.88 by 361 yields about $360,672.94 per award on average. That average hides contracts, grants, and other instruments. It is not a typical custom-software award. A second custom programming join in another state uses the same NAICS and a different dollar total. Do not treat New York's 541511 figure as a synonym for every Custom Computer Programming Services award in the catalog.
Bespoke-code and custom-software folklore is a coding conversation, not a packet field. Industry titles on NAICS 541511 are the place to see what a given line bought. Finance-hub and upstate-corridor folklore may explain a search path. It does not add dollars or software vendors.
Industry-wide custom programming versus this overlay
The industry hub for NAICS 541511 aggregates Custom Computer Programming Services without requiring NY geography. New York federal spending aggregates all industries with New York place of performance. New York industries lists other NAICS in New York. Only this tie applies both the 541511 filter and the New York geography tag, which is why it cites 361 awards and $130,202,931.88.
Place of performance in New York is a USAspending geography field. Awards can list NY while later software work occurs in New Jersey or Pennsylvania. custom programming awards coded to those places do not sit in this total even if a vendor's mailroom is in New York City. This packet does not split New York City from Buffalo or Albany. New York City, Buffalo, and Albany are reader landmarks, not packet subtotals.
Outlays are a different column
An obligation is a legal commitment. An outlay is a payment. $130,202,931.88 is the former. This packet has no outlay total, no fiscal-year split, and no de-obligation history. Citing the figure as money already spent in New York over-reads the field. USAspending.gov NAICS aggregates by place of performance state are the source.
Award count 361 is a record count, not a payment count and not a unique-contractor census. Catalog lines, delivery orders, and modifications can each mint a row. Readers who need transaction-level detail should use New York industries and NAICS 541511. Keep the obligation word on $130,202,931.88.
Do not treat finance-hub and upstate-corridor folklore as a second NAICS
A large custom programming total in New York does not mean the industry caused New York's fiscal mix, and it does not connect these obligations to campaign contributions. Correlation between finance-hub and upstate-corridor folklore and 541511 awards is expected; it is not a finding about waste or plant quality. No performance metric is in the packet. New York 541511 is custom programming, not systems design (541512) and not an Albany code-shop census.
Keep $130,202,931.88 labeled as NAICS 541511 obligations with New York place of performance. FEC individual contributions are a different dataset. Do not claim that donations paid for $130,202,931.88 in New York. No contractor or award-recipient names are in the packet, and none are invented.
Keep $130,202,931.88 labeled as a join
A clean footnote names NAICS 541511 (Custom Computer Programming Services), New York place of performance, $130,202,931.88 in obligations, and 361 awards on USAspending.gov. Keep the obligation word. Do not call $130,202,931.88 cash outlays. Mean dollars per action remain about $360,672.94 if you divide those two facts — a ratio, not a typical custom-software award.
New York federal spending, NAICS 541511, New York industries, and All spending ties keep the same unit. A later ingest can restate $130,202,931.88 without changing the join definition. Rewrite only the sentence whose source moved. New York City-versus-Buffalo folklore is not a metro split in this packet. Software vendors names belong on the overlay if they appear as recipients; they are not extra packet dollars. Correlation is not causation.
