What NAICS 541519 and Illinois share on one row
NAICS 541519 and place-of-performance state IL meet here. $297,082,742.58 is the obligation sum on awards that carry both tags. It is not every federal award in Illinois, not the nationwide Other Computer Related Services total, and not cash already paid. Chicago IT-contractor folklore and statewide systems-integration stories may send a reader here. Those stories are not a vendor list and not a clearance census.
1,562 award actions sit behind that dollar figure — more than a thousand award actions behind a nine-figure obligation total. A long row list can mix small task orders with larger instruments. The join does not rank Illinois against other states and does not name contractors inside the extract.
Open Illinois federal spending for the filtered table, NAICS 541519 for the next hub, Illinois industries for the remaining hub, and All spending ties for other pairs.
1,562 computer-services actions under an Illinois geography tag
Dividing $297,082,742.58 by 1,562 yields about $190,193.82 per award on average. That average hides contracts, grants, and other instruments. It is not a typical IT task order. A second 541519 slice on another state uses the same NAICS code and a different dollar total. Do not treat Illinois's 541519 total as a synonym for every federal IT purchase.
Chicago it-contractor folklore and statewide systems-integration stories is a coding conversation, not a packet field. Recipient rows live on the industry and state hubs, not in this narrative's extra columns.
NAICS 541519 without an Illinois overlay is a different total
The NAICS 541519 page aggregates NAICS 541519 without requiring IL geography. The Illinois federal spending page aggregates all agencies and industries with Illinois place of performance. Illinois industries lists other industry cells in the same state. Only this tie applies both the 541519 filter and the IL filter, which is why it cites 1,562 awards and $297,082,742.58.
Place of performance in Illinois is a USAspending geography field. Awards can list IL while work occurs in Indiana or Wisconsin. 541519 awards coded to those states do not sit in this total even if a vendor's mailroom is in Chicago. This packet does not split Chicago from Springfield or Rockford.
Obligations, not outlays
An obligation is a legal commitment. An outlay is a payment. $297,082,742.58 is the former. This packet has no outlay total, no fiscal-year split, and no de-obligation history. Citing the figure as money already spent in Illinois over-reads the field.
Award count 1,562 is a record count, not a payment count. Readers who need transaction-level detail should use Illinois federal spending, NAICS 541519, and Illinois industries. All spending ties does not hide a blended statewide total under this slug.
What this pair does not prove
A large 541519 total in Illinois does not mean IT firms caused Illinois's contractor mix, and it does not connect these obligations to campaign contributions. Correlation between agency geography and IT awards is expected; it is not a finding about cybersecurity or waste.
Keep $297,082,742.58 labeled as NAICS 541519 obligations with Illinois place of performance. FEC individual contributions are a different dataset. An industry name that appears near a donor occupation is a coincidence of labeling, not a cash pipeline into USAspending.
How to cite the Illinois-541519 pair
A clean footnote names NAICS 541519 (Other Computer Related Services), Illinois place of performance, $297,082,742.58 in obligations, and 1,562 awards on USAspending.gov. Keep the obligation word. Do not call $297,082,742.58 cash outlays. Mean dollars per action remain about $190,193.82 if you divide those two facts — a ratio, not a typical IT task order.
Illinois federal spending, NAICS 541519, Illinois industries, and All spending ties keep the same unit. A later ingest can restate $297,082,742.58 without changing the join definition. Rewrite only the sentence whose source moved. Chicago-versus-Springfield folklore is not a metro split in this packet. Contractor names belong on the overlay if they appear as recipients; they are not extra packet dollars. Keep the obligation label in every reuse. Correlation is not causation.
