Alaska and janitorial services as a pair
NAICS 561720 and place-of-performance state AK meet on this tie. $50,987,648.91 is the obligation sum on awards that carry both tags. It is not Alaska's statewide federal total, not the nationwide janitorial services rollup, and not cash already paid. USAspending labels the industry Janitorial Services; this overlay applies that code only where Alaska is the geography field.
234 is an award-action count. Modifications, delivery orders, and repeat vehicles add rows. Unique vendors are not published in this packet. Reading 234 as plants, offices, or payrolls in Alaska would confuse actions with establishments. The join does not rank Alaska against other states and does not assign a fiscal year; none is in the facts.
Open Alaska federal spending for the state rollup, NAICS 561720 for the industry hub, Alaska industries for other NAICS in the same geography, and All spending ties for other pairs. Do not add those parent pages into $50,987,648.91.
NAICS 561720, not temporary help
USAspending labels NAICS 561720 as Janitorial Services. The packet does not name buildings, crews, or primes. Alaska temporary help (NAICS 561320) on this slice is $58,261,989.68 across 297 awards. Staffing is not cleaning. Do not fold 561320 into $50,987,648.91.
Alabama facilities support (NAICS 561210) is $60,153,126.86 across 599 awards. That 561xxx cousin is a different six-digit code and a different state. Alaska warehousing (493110) and environmental consulting (541620) share AK geography only. Award titles on the NAICS 561720 hub are the place to see what a given line bought.
Place of performance in Alaska
Alaska on this join is a geography field, not a Juneau-only overlay. Place of performance can list AK while later work occurs elsewhere; those states are not inside this total unless also coded AK. The packet does not split boroughs.
The state hub for Alaska shows how 561720 sits beside other industries with AK place of performance. Awards can list Alaska while headquarters sit elsewhere.
234 awards and a mid-six-figure mean
Dividing $50,987,648.91 by 234 yields about $217,896 per award on average. Catalog lines and modifications can mint hundreds of rows. Award count 234 is a record count, not a payment count and not a unique-crew census.
An obligation is a legal commitment. $50,987,648.91 is that kind of sum. This packet has no outlay total and no fiscal-year split. Citing the figure as cash already spent in Alaska over-reads the field.
What the janitorial-Alaska join does not prove
A janitorial cell is not an employment ranking for Alaska and not a claim that campaign contributions funded the awards. FEC filings and USAspending awards are different datasets. Keep $50,987,648.91 labeled as NAICS 561720 obligations with Alaska place of performance. Correlation is not causation.
A later ingest can restate $50,987,648.91 or the 234 count without changing the join key of NAICS 561720 and AK. Place of performance remains a geography tag, not proof that work stayed inside Alaska. Keep the obligation word on $50,987,648.91 in every footnote.
How to cite janitorial services in Alaska
Cite USAspending.gov, NAICS 561720 (Janitorial Services), Alaska (AK), $50,987,648.91, and 234 awards. Note that the figures are obligations. Point readers to Alaska federal spending, NAICS 561720, Alaska industries, and All spending ties rather than collapsing those pages into this cell. Mean per award stays about $217,896 as a ratio only.
Readers who reuse this snapshot should keep both sides of the join in the same sentence and treat award rows as records rather than unique vendors. This narrative does not invent a fiscal year, a recipient list, or an outlay total that the packet omitted. Alaska's 561720 cell is janitorial services. 234 awards and $50,987,648.91 are not other NAICS in the same state and not the same NAICS in another state unless those figures appear above.
