Engineering Services federal obligations in the District of Columbia (NAICS 541330)

NAICS 541330 dollars tagged to the District

NAICS 541330 and geography DC meet in this cell. $261,954,336.96 is the USAspending.gov obligation sum on awards that carry both tags. It is not the industry’s national total, not the District’s entire federal inflow, and not an outlay. NAICS 541330 is engineering services, not architectural services and not building construction. An Alaska 541330 join is a different state pair. The pair is the only object this page measures.

1,178 awards sit beside $261,954,336.96. That count can include contracts, orders, and modifications. Treating 1,178 as a roster of firms, crews, or patients would misread award records as people. Unique recipients are unpublished on this packet. A mid-four-figure award book at this dollar scale is consistent with professional-services actions stacked over time, not with a single District-wide engineering franchise.

Open District of Columbia federal spending for every industry coded to the District, NAICS 541330 for the code without a state filter, District of Columbia industries for the District industry index, and All spending ties for other pairs. Do not add those parent tables into $261,954,336.96.

Engineering advice, not construction or architecture

NAICS 541330 is engineering services. Architectural services and commercial building construction sit on other industry pages. Mixing those dollars into $261,954,336.96 would invent a roll-up the packet does not publish. NAICS 541330 is the only industry key on this District of Columbia tie. Speech in the capital often collapses A-E work, facilities O&M, and construction into one “engineering” story; this table does not.

Dividing $261,954,336.96 by 1,178 awards yields about $222,372 per award. That mean is a ratio of two packet facts, not a typical invoice and not a median. The packet has no fiscal-year split and no de-obligation history. It also does not name primes, task orders, or federal building projects. Keep the figure labeled as NAICS 541330 obligations with District of Columbia place of performance.

District of Columbia geography on a 541330 cell

District of Columbia place of performance can cover a downtown reporting address, work on federal property inside the District, or a convention that tags DC even when crews travel. The packet has no ward, ZIP, or campus split. Naming one federal campus as the whole District book adds a label the facts do not carry. All of those places, if they appear at all, share the DC tag inside $261,954,336.96.

Place of performance can follow a payee address, in-District work, or a reporting convention. Awards coded to Maryland or Virginia do not enter this sum even if a vendor’s mailroom sits in the District. The join cannot re-allocate dollars along a supply chain. District of Columbia federal spending still includes every other NAICS coded to DC.

Obligations, not outlays, on District 541330

An obligation is a legal commitment. An outlay is a payment. $261,954,336.96 is the former. This packet has no outlay total, no fiscal-year split, and no de-obligation history. Citing the figure as cash already cleared in the District over-reads the field. 1,178 remains an award-record count, not a payment count and not a beneficiary roster. Keep the obligation word when you quote NAICS 541330 in the District of Columbia.

What the engineering–District pair does not prove

A large engineering-services total tagged to the District of Columbia does not mean the industry caused the District’s economy, and it does not connect these obligations to campaign contributions. Correlation is not causation. FEC filings and USAspending awards are different datasets. Keep $261,954,336.96 labeled as NAICS 541330 obligations with District of Columbia place of performance. NAICS 541330 is the national industry hub; District of Columbia industries lists other codes in the District; All spending ties indexes other pairs.

How to cite NAICS 541330 in the District of Columbia

A clean footnote names NAICS 541330 (Engineering Services), District of Columbia place of performance, $261,954,336.96 in obligations, and 1,178 awards on USAspending.gov. Keep the obligation word. Mean dollars per action remain about $222,372. Quote District of Columbia federal spending if you need every industry in the District, and quote NAICS 541330 if you need the code without the DC filter.
