Engineering services federal obligations in Massachusetts (NAICS 541330)

What the 541330–Massachusetts join is

NAICS 541330 and geography MA meet here. $708,751,202.33 is the USAspending.gov obligation sum on awards that carry both tags. It is not the nationwide engineering services book, not Massachusetts’s entire federal inflow, and not an outlay. Architectural services and computer-systems design sit on other NAICS codes. Colorado and Florida also have 541330 cells.

1,257 awards is a thick professional-services list beside $708,751,202.33. Thick professional books often mix small task orders with larger design vehicles. The packet does not name a lab, a shipyard, or a Route 128 shop inside the extract. Treating 1,257 as a headcount of Massachusetts engineers would misread award records. Those labels are ordinary speech, not extra packet dollars.

Open Massachusetts federal spending for every industry tagged to the state, NAICS 541330 for 541330 without a Massachusetts filter, Massachusetts industries for other Massachusetts NAICS pairs, and All spending ties for joins outside this engineering services cell. Do not add those parents into $708,751,202.33.

A New England design book, not a badge roster

Dividing $708,751,202.33 by 1,257 awards yields about $563,843 per award. That mean is a ratio of two packet facts, not a typical Boston civil-design order and not a typical Worcester systems line. Unique recipients are unpublished. 1,257 is not a count of licensed engineers or PE stamps.

Massachusetts geography invites a Boston-versus-western-Mass engineering story. This extract does not split those metros. All share MA inside $708,751,202.33. Colorado’s 541330 cell is a separate join; do not add it here.

Nationwide 541330 without a Massachusetts overlay is a different total

The national industry hub aggregates 541330 across every state. Massachusetts’s statewide hub aggregates every NAICS with an MA tag. Only awards that carry both 541330 and Massachusetts place of performance belong here, which is why this page cites 1,257 awards and $708,751,202.33.

Place of performance can follow a payee address, in-state work, or a reporting convention. 541330 awards coded to New Hampshire, Rhode Island, or Connecticut do not enter this sum even if a vendor’s mailroom sits in Cambridge. The join cannot re-allocate dollars along a New England engineering chain.

Obligations, not outlays, on the Massachusetts 541330 cell

An obligation is a legal commitment. An outlay is a payment. $708,751,202.33 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 Massachusetts over-reads the field. 1,257 remains an award-record count, not a payment count.

What the Massachusetts–541330 pair does not prove

A large engineering services total in Massachusetts does not mean the code caused Massachusetts’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 $708,751,202.33 labeled as NAICS 541330 obligations with Massachusetts place of performance. Massachusetts federal spending still includes other industries that must not be folded into this engineering services cell. NAICS 541330 is 541330 without the Massachusetts filter. Massachusetts industries lists sibling Massachusetts codes.

How to cite engineering services in Massachusetts

A clean footnote names NAICS 541330 (engineering services), Massachusetts place of performance, $708,751,202.33 in obligations, and 1,257 awards on USAspending.gov. Keep the obligation word. Mean dollars per action remain about $563,843. Do not merge construction NAICS into this services bucket. All spending ties indexes other pairs.

A later ingest can restate $708,751,202.33 without changing the join of 541330 and MA. Massachusetts federal spending still mixes every Massachusetts industry; do not quote that parent as 541330. NAICS 541330 is the national engineering services code without the Massachusetts tag. Massachusetts industries keeps sibling Massachusetts codes unmerged. 1,257 is a record count, including modifications, not a unique-vendor census. Keep the obligation label on $708,751,202.33. Correlation is not causation. Colorado and Florida 541330 books are separate joins.

Questions

How much has NAICS 541330 obligated in Massachusetts?

USAspending.gov records $708,751,202.33 in obligations for NAICS 541330 with Massachusetts place of performance, covering 1,257 awards. That is an obligation aggregate for the engineering services–Massachusetts pair, not an outlay figure and not the nationwide 541330 total. Original filings remain on USAspending.gov.

Is this Massachusetts construction spending?

No. NAICS 541330 is engineering services, not heavy construction. $708,751,202.33 covers 1,257 awards with Massachusetts place of performance under that professional-services code. Quote 541330 and Massachusetts together. Original filings remain on USAspending.gov. Keep both sides of the join in the citation.

Does this include Colorado or Florida engineering awards?

No. Those states have separate 541330 joins. $708,751,202.33 and 1,257 describe Massachusetts place of performance only. Do not add sibling-state engineering books into this total. Keep the Massachusetts geography tag on the citation. Original filings remain on USAspending.gov.

Where are the live Massachusetts and 541330 tables?

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