Engineering services federal obligations in Colorado (NAICS 541330)

What the 541330–Colorado join is

NAICS 541330 and geography CO meet here. $793,054,589.95 is the USAspending.gov obligation sum on awards that carry both tags. It is not the nationwide engineering services book, not Colorado’s entire federal inflow, and not an outlay. Architectural services and computer-systems design sit on other NAICS codes.

2,480 awards is a thick professional-services list beside $793,054,589.95. Thick professional books often mix small task orders with larger design vehicles. The packet does not name a dam, a lab, or a space-systems shop inside the extract. Treating 2,480 as a headcount of Colorado engineers would misread award records. Those labels are ordinary speech, not extra packet dollars.

Open Colorado federal spending for every industry tagged to the state, NAICS 541330 for 541330 without a Colorado filter, Colorado industries for other Colorado NAICS pairs, and All spending ties for joins outside this engineering services cell. Do not add those parents into $793,054,589.95.

A Front Range design book, not a badge roster

Dividing $793,054,589.95 by 2,480 awards yields about $319,780 per award. That mean is a ratio of two packet facts, not a typical Denver civil-design order and not a typical Colorado Springs systems line. Unique recipients are unpublished. 2,480 is not a count of licensed engineers or PE stamps.

Colorado geography invites a Denver-versus-Springs engineering story. This extract does not split those metros, nor Boulder or a mountain installation. All share CO inside $793,054,589.95. Massachusetts and Florida also have 541330 cells; those dollars are not this total.

Nationwide 541330 without a Colorado overlay is a different total

The national industry hub aggregates 541330 across every state. Colorado’s statewide hub aggregates every NAICS with an CO tag. Only awards that carry both 541330 and Colorado place of performance belong here, which is why this page cites 2,480 awards and $793,054,589.95.

Place of performance can follow a payee address, in-state work, or a reporting convention. 541330 awards coded to Utah, New Mexico, or Maryland do not enter this sum even if a vendor’s mailroom sits in Denver. The join cannot re-allocate dollars along a western engineering chain.

Obligations, not outlays, on the Colorado 541330 cell

An obligation is a legal commitment. An outlay is a payment. $793,054,589.95 is the former. This packet has no outlay total, no fiscal-year split, and no de-obligation history. Citing the figure as drawings already stamped in Colorado over-reads the field. 2,480 remains an award-record count, not a payment count.

What the Colorado–541330 pair does not prove

A large engineering services total in Colorado does not mean the code caused Colorado’s industry mix, and it does not connect these obligations to campaign contributions. Correlation is not causation. Licensure counts and program names are not USAspending columns here.

Keep $793,054,589.95 labeled as NAICS 541330 obligations with Colorado place of performance. Colorado federal spending still includes other industries that must not be folded into this engineering services cell. NAICS 541330 is 541330 without the Colorado filter. Colorado industries lists sibling Colorado codes.

How to cite engineering services in Colorado

A clean footnote names NAICS 541330 (engineering services), Colorado place of performance, $793,054,589.95 in obligations, and 2,480 awards on USAspending.gov. Keep the obligation word. Mean dollars per action remain about $319,780. Do not merge construction NAICS into this services bucket. All spending ties indexes other pairs.

A later ingest can restate $793,054,589.95 without changing the join of 541330 and CO. Colorado federal spending still mixes every Colorado industry; do not quote that parent as 541330. NAICS 541330 is the national engineering services code without the Colorado tag. Colorado industries keeps sibling Colorado codes unmerged. 2,480 is a record count, including modifications, not a unique-vendor census. Keep the obligation label on $793,054,589.95. Correlation is not causation. Massachusetts and Florida 541330 books are separate joins.

Questions

How much has NAICS 541330 obligated in Colorado?

USAspending.gov records $793,054,589.95 in obligations for NAICS 541330 with Colorado place of performance, covering 2,480 awards. That is an obligation aggregate for the engineering services–Colorado pair, not an outlay figure and not the nationwide 541330 total. Original filings remain on USAspending.gov.

Is this Colorado construction spending?

No. NAICS 541330 is engineering services, not heavy construction. $793,054,589.95 covers 2,480 awards with Colorado place of performance under that professional-services code. Construction books have their own NAICS pages. Quote 541330 and Colorado together. Original filings remain on USAspending.gov.

Does this include Massachusetts or Florida engineering awards?

No. Those states have separate 541330 joins. $793,054,589.95 and 2,480 describe Colorado place of performance only. Do not add sibling-state engineering books into this total. Keep the Colorado geography tag on the citation. Original filings remain on USAspending.gov.

Where are the live Colorado and 541330 tables?

Colorado federal spending shows all industries in the state. NAICS 541330 shows NAICS 541330 without a state filter. Colorado industries lists other Colorado industry pairs. All spending ties lists joins outside this cell. Prefer those hubs after later USAspending ingests.
