NAICS 541690 dollars tagged to Arkansas
This page intersects Other Scientific And Technical Consulting Services and Arkansas. $21,564,814.42 is the obligation sum where both filters are true. It is not Arkansas's entire federal inflow, not every other scientific and technical consulting services dollar in the country, and not an outlay. 11 is the award-record count on that pair.
Open Arkansas federal spending (/states/ar/) for the state rollup, NAICS 541690 (/industries/541690/) for the industry hub, Arkansas industries (/states/ar/industries/) for other NAICS in Arkansas, and All spending ties (/ties/) for other pairs. Neither parent is this intersection.
Campaign-finance tables are a different dataset; FEC donations do not fund these USAspending obligations. Unique contractors are unpublished and will not be invented here.
Other scientific and technical consulting services, not environmental consulting (541620) and not ammunition except small arms
On the industry side, USAspending stores Other Scientific And Technical Consulting Services as NAICS 541690. On the state side, the key is AR. Packet facts stop at that title, that geography, $21,564,814.42, and 11 awards. The industry is not environmental consulting (541620) and not ammunition except small arms. Inventing 11 Arkansas scientific consultancies from the award-record count would over-read the field.
Louisiana's same-code scientific-consulting overlay on this extract is a different state key. Do not add a neighboring code into $21,564,814.42. The NAICS 541690 hub does not require Arkansas.
Arkansas as a geography field, not a city overlay
Arkansas is a USAspending geography field, not a Little Rock or Fayetteville-only overlay. Awards can list AR while later performance occurs in another state; those states are not inside this total unless also coded AR. The packet does not split counties.
The state hub at /states/ar/ shows how 541690 sits beside other industries with AR place of performance. Headquarters can differ from the place-of-performance tag.
Mean obligation and the 11-row file
11 awards against $21,564,814.42 imply about $1,960,438 per record. That quotient is not a typical award, not a median, and not 11 Arkansas scientific consultancies. Modifications add rows. Places of performance below the state tag are unpublished. Do not read 11 as 11 finished projects.
An obligation is a recorded commitment. $21,564,814.42 is that kind of sum. This packet has no outlay total. Citing the figure as cash already cleared in Arkansas over-reads the field.
Correlation is not causation on this join
Industry presence in Arkansas and federal obligations in that industry can move together or not; this packet cannot say which. Louisiana's same-code scientific-consulting overlay on this extract is a different state key. Do not fold FEC donations into USAspending. Cite both sides: Other Scientific And Technical Consulting Services and Arkansas. a named Arkansas laboratory is not what this cell reports.
