Electronic Computer Manufacturing federal obligations in California

Computer manufacturing and California as a pair

Electronic Computer Manufacturing as the NAICS industry, California as place of performance: 23,713 records summing to $597,346,074.38. An award in this industry coded outside CA is out. An award in California from a different NAICS is out even if the work sounds related. California (CA) excludes Oregon, Nevada, and Arizona. An award coded to a neighboring state is out even if the contractor sits in California. California place-of-performance is a statewide tag, not Los Angeles, San Diego, the Bay Area, or a named facility.

23,713 awards is a very high-count industry cell. Volume like this often accumulates on supply schedules, delivery orders, and modifications without each row being a new plant or a new program. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not read 23,713 as 23,713 unique establishments. The overlay path for this pair is the ties page for electronic computer manufacturing in California. California federal spending is the all-industry state hub. NAICS 334111 is the industry book without a CA filter. California industries lists other NAICS cells inside the state. All spending ties lists other joins.

The implied mean is about $25,191 per award — a quotient of two packet facts, not a typical invoice. On a very thick file the mean is pulled down by many small or modifying rows. Dollars and row counts tell different stories on the same join. Correlation is not causation: California did not “cause” $597,346,074.38 by existing as a large or small place, and NAICS 334111 did not “cause” the geography tag. Population, employment, and outcome scores are not packet facts. The join is 334111 × CA only.

Hardware manufacturing, not a unit census

$597,346,074.38 does not measure computers shipped, servers racked, or laptops issued. Those series are not USAspending fields on this aggregate. NAICS 334111 covers electronic computer manufacturing: computers and similar hardware as coded on the award. It is not software services, not cloud subscriptions, and not a unit-shipment census. The cell sums award obligations with NAICS 334111 and a CA place-of-performance tag.

Do not treat 23,713 awards as a census of computers shipped. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If California federal spending or the national NAICS 334111 table matched $597,346,074.38 and 23,713, the join would be pointless. Use the ties page when both keys must stay on. Neighboring-state cells for the same NAICS are other pairs, not addends.

California statewide, not a local map

Place of performance CA is a geography tag on the award, not a metro list and not a commuting zone. California (CA) excludes Oregon, Nevada, and Arizona. An award coded to a neighboring state is out even if the contractor sits in California. Recipient headquarters can sit in another state while the place-of-performance tag remains CA. Contractor address is not this filter.

California place-of-performance is a statewide tag, not Los Angeles, San Diego, the Bay Area, or a named facility. This packet does not split $597,346,074.38 by city, county, installation, or named facility. 23,713 awards stay statewide. A county table would be a different extract. Do not infer a regional ranking from a single state×industry cell.

Obligations still are not outlays

Even a thick or thin file records obligations, not necessarily outlays. $597,346,074.38 can include amounts that pay on a later schedule. Citing it as cash already sent in California confuses two concepts. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total.

California’s own budget is a different ledger. Mixing it with the 23,713-award USAspending file leaves this series. No fiscal year is published in this packet, so this page does not invent one. Keep the obligation label on $597,346,074.38. Campaign-finance filings are a different dataset; this page does not treat donations as funding these awards.

Citing Computer manufacturing in California

Cite USAspending.gov: Electronic Computer Manufacturing (NAICS 334111) obligated $597,346,074.38 on 23,713 awards coded to California. Name both sides. Keep “obligations.” Do not relabel the total as computers shipped, servers racked, or laptops issued.

Prefer the ties page for electronic computer manufacturing in California if a live overlay has refreshed after an ingest. California federal spending still includes every other NAICS tagged to CA. NAICS 334111 is the industry parent without the CA filter. California industries is the state’s industry index. All spending ties indexes other pairs. Do not add those parents into $597,346,074.38.

A usable footnote names Electronic Computer Manufacturing, California, NAICS 334111, $597,346,074.38, and 23,713. The compact headline $597M is that same dollar total rounded. It is not a second extract. The implied mean near $25,191 is $597,346,074.38 divided by 23,713. Means are not medians. USAspending.gov remains the originating system.

Questions

How much has the federal government obligated for electronic computer manufacturing in California?

USAspending.gov records $597,346,074.38 across 23,713 awards with NAICS 334111 and a California place-of-performance tag. That is an obligation join, not an outlay and not a count of computers shipped. Keep both keys when quoting $597,346,074.38.

Does this total count computers manufactured?

No. The packet publishes $597,346,074.38 and 23,713 awards for NAICS 334111 inside CA coding. Computers shipped, servers racked, or laptops issued are unpublished here. Unique recipients are unpublished. Quote the dollar total and the award count together. Obligations are not outlays.

Why does this California file have 23,713 awards?

That is the award-record count for 334111 × CA. Combined with $597,346,074.38, the average is about $25,191. Modifications and repeat instruments add rows. 23,713 is not unique computers shipped. Later ingests can revise the count.

Where is the live table?

California federal spending and NAICS 334111 are the parents, not addends. California industries lists other NAICS cells in the state. All spending ties lists other pairs. Keep both sides of the join when citing $597,346,074.38. USAspending.gov is the source. Obligations are not outlays.
