1,174 actions produced the Alabama book. 1,174 awards against $392.8 million is a mid-thickness professional-services book rather than a three-line concentrated cell. Award rows are not the same as establishments in the Economic Census. A single vendor can hold several of the 1,174 records. The packet does not identify vendors.
Readers comparing codes should open Alabama industries rather than inferring rank from this one cell. All spending ties collects other intersections. NAICS 541330 without the Alabama filter is a different total. None of those pages should be added into $392,816,592.85.
Engineering advice, not missile manufacturing
Guided missile and space vehicle manufacturing (336414) and architectural services are different pages. Residual or neighboring codes are easy to merge in speech and wrong to merge in this table. NAICS 541330 is engineering services, not missile manufacturing and not computer systems design. Hawaii, Alaska, and Oklahoma 541330 are different state joins. $392,816,592.85 stays inside 541330 × AL only.
The implied mean of about $334,597 is $392,816,592.85 / 1,174. Redstone folklore is easy to paste onto an Alabama engineering code. This packet does not name projects or primes. There is no distribution in the packet: no p50, no largest award, no fiscal year. A high mean can be one vehicle; a low mean can be many delivery orders. This extract cannot tell those stories apart.
Alabama geography on a 541330 cell
Alabama place of performance can cover Huntsville, Birmingham, the Gulf, or a reporting address. The packet has no city split. Huntsville, Mobile, or a named A-E campus are ordinary place names, not columns. The only geography key is AL. Splitting $392,816,592.85 across those names would be invention.
USAspending place of performance is a reporting field. It can diverge from where parts were made, where patients were seen, or where a ship was docked. This page repeats the coded Alabama tag. It does not audit the field. Alabama federal spending uses the same geography convention across industries.
Obligations, not outlays, on Alabama 541330
Obligations are not outlays. $392,816,592.85 is the commitment aggregate for this pair. Later modifications can raise or lower what is eventually paid. The packet does not report outlays or a fiscal-year series. Quote 1,174 as award records. Do not call $392,816,592.85 ‘spent in Alabama this year’ — no year is published here.
What the engineering–Alabama pair does not prove
Redstone folklore is easy to paste onto an Alabama engineering code. This packet does not name projects or primes. Federal awards in one NAICS do not explain Alabama employment, and itemized campaign gifts do not pay USAspending obligations. Different statutes, different tables. Cite NAICS 541330 and Alabama together so the join stays visible. Alabama industries and All spending ties are the related indexes.
