Custom Computer Programming Services federal obligations in Virginia

What NAICS 541511 and Virginia share on one row

NAICS 541511 and place-of-performance state VA meet here. $2,737,625,269 is the obligation sum on awards that carry both tags. It is not every federal award in Virginia, not the nationwide Custom Computer Programming Services total, and not cash already paid. Northern-Virginia custom-software folklore may send a reader here. Those stories are not a vendor list and not a repo census.

5,512 award actions sit behind that dollar figure — thousands of award actions behind a multi-billion obligation total. Thousands of rows can mix small task orders with larger instruments. The join does not rank Virginia against other states and does not name vendors inside the extract.

Open Virginia federal spending for the filtered table, NAICS 541511 for the next hub, Virginia industries for the remaining hub, and All spending ties for other pairs.

Custom-programming actions under a Virginia geography tag

Dividing $2,737,625,269 by 5,512 yields about $496,666 per award on average. That average hides contracts, grants, and other instruments. It is not a typical software task order. NAICS 541511 is custom programming, not systems design (541512) and not other computer-related services (541519). Those codes sit on other industry hubs. Do not collapse them because all three appear in Virginia.

Northern-virginia custom-software folklore is a coding conversation, not a packet field. Recipient rows live on the industry and state hubs, not in this narrative’s extra columns.

NAICS 541511 without a Virginia overlay is a different total

The NAICS 541511 page aggregates NAICS 541511 without requiring VA geography. The Virginia federal spending page aggregates all agencies and industries with Virginia place of performance. Virginia industries lists other industry cells in the same state. Only this tie applies both the 541511 filter and the VA filter, which is why it cites 5,512 awards and $2,737,625,269.

Place of performance in Virginia is a USAspending geography field. Awards can list VA while work occurs in Maryland or D.C. 541511 awards coded to those jurisdictions do not sit in this total even if the vendor’s mailroom is in Tysons. This packet does not split Northern Virginia from Hampton Roads or Richmond.

Obligations, not outlays

An obligation is a legal commitment. An outlay is a payment. $2,737,625,269 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 Virginia over-reads the field.

Award count 5,512 is a record count, not a payment count. Readers who need transaction-level detail should use Virginia federal spending, NAICS 541511, and Virginia industries. All spending ties does not hide a blended statewide total under this slug.

What this pair does not prove

A large 541511 total in Virginia does not mean programmers caused Virginia’s contractor mix, and it does not connect these obligations to campaign contributions. Correlation between Beltway geography and software awards is expected; it is not a finding about code quality or waste.

Keep $2,737,625,269 labeled as NAICS 541511 obligations with Virginia place of performance. FEC individual contributions are a different dataset. An industry name that appears near a donor occupation is a coincidence of labeling, not a cash pipeline into USAspending.

How to cite the Virginia–541511 pair

A clean footnote names NAICS 541511 (Custom Computer Programming Services), Virginia place of performance, $2,737,625,269 in obligations, and 5,512 awards on USAspending.gov. Keep the obligation word. Do not call $2,737,625,269 cash outlays. Mean dollars per action remain about $496,666 if you divide those two facts — a ratio, not a typical software task order.

Virginia federal spending, NAICS 541511, Virginia industries, and All spending ties keep the same unit. A later ingest can restate $2,737,625,269 without changing the join definition. Rewrite only the sentence whose source moved. Northern Virginia-versus-Richmond folklore is not a metro split in this packet. Do not merge 541511 with 541512 or 541519. Keep the obligation label in every reuse. Correlation is not causation.

Do not treat a thousands of award actions behind a multi-billion obligation total as a unique-firm census. Unique recipients are not published here. Keep NAICS 541511 and VA as the join key even if a later USAspending ingest restates $2,737,625,269. Those stories are not a vendor list and not a repo census.
