Electronic Computer Manufacturing federal obligations in Virginia

Computer manufacturing and Virginia as a pair

Electronic Computer Manufacturing as the NAICS industry, Virginia as place of performance: 4,968 records summing to $1,056,027,733.23. An award in this industry coded outside VA is out. An award in Virginia from a different NAICS is out even if the work sounds related. Virginia (VA) excludes Maryland, North Carolina, West Virginia, and the District of Columbia. An award coded to a neighboring state is out even if the contractor sits in Virginia. Virginia place-of-performance is a statewide tag, not Norfolk, Arlington, Richmond, or a Pentagon-adjacent ZIP.

4,968 awards is a high-count industry cell. Volume can rise on task orders and modifications without each row being a new facility. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not read 4,968 as 4,968 unique establishments. The overlay path for this pair is the ties page for electronic computer manufacturing in Virginia. Virginia federal spending is the all-industry state hub. NAICS 334111 is the industry book without a VA filter. Virginia industries lists other NAICS cells inside the state. All spending ties lists other joins.

The implied mean is about $212,566 per award — a quotient of two packet facts, not a typical project. Dollars and row counts tell different stories on the same join. Correlation is not causation: Virginia did not “cause” $1,056,027,733.23 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 × VA only.

Hardware manufacturing, not a unit census

$1,056,027,733.23 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 VA place-of-performance tag.

Do not treat 4,968 awards as a census of computers shipped. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If Virginia federal spending or the national NAICS 334111 table matched $1,056,027,733.23 and 4,968, 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.

Virginia statewide, not a local map

Place of performance VA is a geography tag on the award, not a metro list and not a commuting zone. Virginia (VA) excludes Maryland, North Carolina, West Virginia, and the District of Columbia. An award coded to a neighboring state is out even if the contractor sits in Virginia. Recipient headquarters can sit in another state while the place-of-performance tag remains VA. Contractor address is not this filter.

Virginia place-of-performance is a statewide tag, not Norfolk, Arlington, Richmond, or a Pentagon-adjacent ZIP. This packet does not split $1,056,027,733.23 by city, county, installation, or named facility. 4,968 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. $1,056,027,733.23 can include amounts that pay on a later schedule. Citing it as cash already sent in Virginia confuses two concepts. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total.

Virginia’s own budget is a different ledger. Mixing it with the 4,968-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 $1,056,027,733.23. Campaign-finance filings are a different dataset; this page does not treat donations as funding these awards.

Citing Computer manufacturing in Virginia

Cite USAspending.gov: Electronic Computer Manufacturing (NAICS 334111) obligated $1,056,027,733.23 on 4,968 awards coded to Virginia. 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 Virginia if a live overlay has refreshed after an ingest. Virginia federal spending still includes every other NAICS tagged to VA. NAICS 334111 is the industry parent without the VA filter. Virginia industries is the state’s industry index. All spending ties indexes other pairs. Do not add those parents into $1,056,027,733.23.

A usable footnote names Electronic Computer Manufacturing, Virginia, NAICS 334111, $1,056,027,733.23, and 4,968. The compact headline $1.06B is that same dollar total rounded. It is not a second extract. The implied mean near $212,566 is $1,056,027,733.23 divided by 4,968. Means are not medians. USAspending.gov remains the originating system.

Questions

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

USAspending.gov records $1,056,027,733.23 across 4,968 awards with NAICS 334111 and a Virginia place-of-performance tag. That is an obligation join, not an outlay and not a count of computers shipped. Keep both keys when quoting $1,056,027,733.23.

Does this total count computers manufactured?

No. The packet publishes $1,056,027,733.23 and 4,968 awards for NAICS 334111 inside VA 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 Virginia file have 4,968 awards?

Where is the live table?

Virginia federal spending and NAICS 334111 are the parents, not addends. Virginia industries lists other NAICS cells in the state. All spending ties lists other pairs. Keep both sides of the join when citing $1,056,027,733.23. USAspending.gov is the source. Obligations are not outlays.
