Other computer related services federal obligations in Colorado (NAICS 541519)

What the 541519–Colorado join is

NAICS 541519 and geography CO meet here. $941,938,783.12 is the USAspending.gov obligation sum on awards that carry both tags. It is not the nationwide 541519 book, not Colorado’s entire federal inflow, and not an outlay. Custom programming (541511) and systems design (541512) are sibling codes, not this residual bucket.

2,454 awards is a thick IT row set beside $941,938,783.12. Thick books often mix small task orders with larger vehicles. The count can include contracts, orders, and modifications. Treating 2,454 as “2,454 Colorado programmers” would misread award records as people.

Open Colorado federal spending for every industry tagged to the state, NAICS 541519 for 541519 without a Colorado filter, Colorado industries for other Colorado NAICS pairs, and All spending ties for joins outside this residual IT cell. Do not add those parents into $941,938,783.12.

A Front Range IT book that is not 541511 or 541512

Dividing $941,938,783.12 by 2,454 awards yields about $383,838 per award. That mean is a ratio, not a typical Denver help-desk order and not a typical Colorado Springs integration line. Unique recipients are unpublished. 2,454 is not a headcount of contractors on the Front Range.

Colorado geography invites a Denver-versus-Springs split. This extract does not separate those metros, nor Boulder or a mountain installation. All share CO inside $941,938,783.12. A named integrator can enter the total only if its awards carry 541519 and CO — which this narrative cannot verify.

Nationwide 541519 without a Colorado overlay is a different total

The national industry hub aggregates 541519 across every state. Colorado’s statewide hub aggregates every NAICS with a CO tag. Only awards that carry both 541519 and Colorado place of performance belong here, which is why this page cites 2,454 awards and $941,938,783.12.

Place of performance can follow a payee address, in-state work, or a reporting convention. 541519 awards coded to Maryland, Virginia, or Utah do not enter this sum even if a vendor’s mailroom sits in Denver. The join cannot re-allocate dollars along a federal IT chain.

Obligations, not outlays, on the Colorado 541519 cell

An obligation is a legal commitment. An outlay is a payment. $941,938,783.12 is the former. This packet has no outlay total and no fiscal-year split. Citing the figure as IT invoices already cleared in Colorado over-reads the field. 2,454 remains an award-record count, not a payment count and not a badge roster.

What the Colorado–541519 pair does not prove

A large residual-computer total in Colorado does not mean the code caused the state’s contractor mix, and it does not connect these obligations to campaign contributions. Correlation is not causation. Clearance levels and cloud programs are not USAspending columns on this packet.

Keep $941,938,783.12 labeled as NAICS 541519 obligations with Colorado place of performance. Colorado federal spending still includes 541511 and 541512 rows that must not be folded into this cell. NAICS 541519 is 541519 without the Colorado filter. Colorado industries lists sibling Colorado codes.

How to cite other computer services in Colorado

A clean footnote names NAICS 541519 (other computer related services), Colorado place of performance, $941,938,783.12 in obligations, and 2,454 awards on USAspending.gov. Keep the obligation word. Mean dollars per action remain about $383,838. Do not merge 541511 or 541512 into this residual bucket. All spending ties indexes other pairs. A later ingest can restate $941,938,783.12 without changing the join of 541519 and CO.

Denver-versus-Colorado-Springs folklore is not a metro split in this packet. Colorado federal spending still mixes every Colorado industry; do not quote that parent as 541519. NAICS 541519 is the national residual-IT code without the Colorado tag. Colorado industries keeps 541511 and 541512 as sibling Colorado pages. 2,454 is a record count, including modifications, not a unique-vendor census. Keep the obligation label on $941,938,783.12 in every reuse. Correlation is not causation.
