Alaska and temporary help services as a pair
NAICS 561320 and place-of-performance state AK meet on this tie. $58,261,989.68 is the obligation sum on awards that carry both tags. It is not Alaska's statewide federal total, not the nationwide temporary help services rollup, and not cash already paid. USAspending labels the industry Temporary Help Services; this overlay applies that code only where Alaska is the geography field.
297 is an award-action count. Modifications, delivery orders, and repeat vehicles add rows. Unique vendors are not published in this packet. Reading 297 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 561320 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 $58,261,989.68.
NAICS 561320, not janitorial or facilities support
USAspending labels NAICS 561320 as Temporary Help Services. The packet does not name job series, agencies, or vendors. Alaska janitorial services (NAICS 561720) on this slice is $50,987,648.91 across 234 awards. Cleaning is not staffing. Do not fold 561720 into $58,261,989.68.
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 environmental consulting (541620) and general warehousing (493110) share AK geography only. Award titles on the NAICS 561320 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 an Anchorage-only overlay. Place of performance can list AK while later work occurs in Washington or elsewhere; those states are not inside this total unless also coded AK. The packet does not split boroughs.
Alaska electronic computer manufacturing (334111) also uses AK place of performance on this slice at $52,145,921.46 across 48 awards. Sharing geography does not merge computers into the staffing total.
297 awards and a staffing mean
Dividing $58,261,989.68 by 297 yields about $196,168 per award on average. Catalog lines and modifications can mint hundreds of rows. Award count 297 is a record count, not a payment count and not a unique-staffing-office census.
An obligation is a legal commitment. $58,261,989.68 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 temporary-help–Alaska join does not prove
A temporary-help 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 $58,261,989.68 labeled as NAICS 561320 obligations with Alaska place of performance. Correlation is not causation.
A later ingest can restate $58,261,989.68 or the 297 count without changing the join key of NAICS 561320 and AK. Place of performance remains a geography tag, not proof that work stayed inside Alaska. Keep the obligation word on $58,261,989.68 in every footnote.
How to cite temporary help in Alaska
Cite USAspending.gov, NAICS 561320 (Temporary Help Services), Alaska (AK), $58,261,989.68, and 297 awards. Note that the figures are obligations. Point readers to Alaska federal spending, NAICS 561320, Alaska industries, and All spending ties rather than collapsing those pages into this cell. Mean per award stays about $196,168 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 561320 cell is temporary help services. 297 awards and $58,261,989.68 are not other NAICS in the same state and not the same NAICS in another state unless those figures appear above.
