Security systems services except locksmiths in Virginia (NAICS 561621)

NAICS 561621 and Virginia as a security-systems join
This page intersects one six-digit industry and one state. $366,830,219.05 is the obligation sum where both filters are true. NAICS 561621 is security systems services except locksmiths, covering monitoring and installation, not armed guards. It is not a statewide spending total and not a national NAICS 561621 total. Those parent tables live on Virginia federal spending and NAICS 561621.
2,080 awards against $366.8 million is a busy services cell rather than a single alarm-system buy. 2,080 is an award-record count. Modifications can sit beside base awards. The packet does not say how many unique vendors produced the 2,080 lines. Reading 2,080 as factories, ships, or clinics in Virginia would confuse actions with establishments.
Virginia industries lists other NAICS codes with VA place of performance. All spending ties indexes other state–industry pairs. Do not sum those indexes into $366,830,219.05. The headline remains $366,830,219.05 on 2,080 awards for this pair alone.
Alarm and monitoring work, not locksmiths or guards
NAICS 561621 is a Census industry code assigned on the award. NAICS 561621 is security systems services except locksmiths, covering monitoring and installation, not armed guards. Security guards and patrol services (561612) and locksmiths (561622) are different codes. Those neighboring codes never enter $366,830,219.05 unless they also appear as 561621, which they do not. Keep the six-digit label when you cite the Virginia cell.
Except-locksmiths is a Census residual, not a proof that no keys were cut. Unique vendors are unpublished. Dividing $366,830,219.05 by 2,080 produces about $176,361. That quotient is arithmetic, not a typical Virginia contract. There is no median, no top-award table, and no fiscal-year breakout on this packet. Do not treat the mean as a posted unit price.
Virginia geography on a security-systems cell
Virginia place of performance can cover Northern Virginia federal campuses, Hampton Roads sites, or a Richmond reporting address. The packet has no city split. Inside the VA tag, Arlington, Norfolk, or a named federal campus are not broken out. The packet has one state key. A named city can sit inside $366,830,219.05 only if its awards carry NAICS 561621 and VA — which this narrative cannot verify.
Place-of-performance geography is not the same as contractor headquarters. A firm based elsewhere can perform in Virginia, and a Virginia address can appear on work done out of state. This join reports the coded pair, not a logistics map. Virginia federal spending remains the statewide parent.
Obligations versus outlays for Virginia 561621
USAspending obligations are commitments, not checks that have cleared. $366,830,219.05 can include amounts that will be paid later, cancelled, or modified. The packet does not publish outlays. 2,080 is not a payment count. Quote NAICS 561621 in Virginia as obligations and leave fiscal-year folklore off the citation — years are unpublished here.
What the security-systems–Virginia pair does not prove
The security systems–Virginia pair does not prove that Virginia specialized in this industry because of federal demand, or the reverse. Except-locksmiths is a Census residual, not a proof that no keys were cut. Unique vendors are unpublished. Campaign-finance tables are a different dataset; donations do not fund these awards. Keep both sides of the join in any headline: NAICS 561621 and Virginia.
How to cite NAICS 561621 in Virginia
Cite USAspending.gov, NAICS 561621 (Security Systems Services (Except Locksmiths)), Virginia (VA), $366,830,219.05, and 2,080 awards. Note that the figures are obligations. Point readers to Virginia federal spending, NAICS 561621, Virginia industries, and All spending ties rather than collapsing those pages into this cell. Mean per award stays about $176,361 as a ratio only. Readers who reuse this state-industry snapshot should keep both sides of the join in the same sentence, cite USAspending.gov as the source, and treat award rows as records rather than unique vendors. The live hubs linked from this page can refresh the snapshot; this narrative does not invent a fiscal year, a recipient list, or an outlay total that the packet omitted. Place of performance remains a geography tag, not proof that work stayed inside the named state. Keep the obligation word on the headline dollar figure in every footnote.
