Biotechnology R&D (Except Nanobiotechnology) federal obligations in Massachusetts

What NAICS 541714 and Massachusetts share on one row

NAICS 541714 and place-of-performance state MA meet here. $271,218,219.09 is the obligation sum on awards that carry both tags. It is not every federal award in Massachusetts, not the nationwide Research And Development In Biotechnology (Except Nanobiotechnology) total, and not cash already paid. Kendall Square, Route 128, and statewide biotech-lab folklore may send a reader here. Those stories are not a lab list and not a trial census.

134 award actions sit behind that dollar figure — a relatively short award list beside a nine-figure obligation total. A relatively short row list can still mix large instruments with smaller modifications. The join does not rank Massachusetts against other states and does not name laboratories inside the extract.

Open Massachusetts federal spending for the filtered table, NAICS 541714 for the next hub, Massachusetts industries for the remaining hub, and All spending ties for other pairs.

134 biotech R&D actions under a Massachusetts geography tag

Dividing $271,218,219.09 by 134 yields about $2,024,016.56 per award on average. That average hides contracts, grants, and other instruments. It is not a typical research contract. NAICS 541714 is biotechnology R&D except nanobiotechnology, not the broader physical-sciences R&D code (541715). Those codes sit on other industry hubs. Do not collapse them because both can appear in the same state.

Kendall square, route 128, and statewide biotech-lab folklore 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 541714 without a Massachusetts overlay is a different total

The NAICS 541714 page aggregates NAICS 541714 without requiring MA geography. The Massachusetts federal spending page aggregates all agencies and industries with Massachusetts place of performance. Massachusetts industries lists other industry cells in the same state. Only this tie applies both the 541714 filter and the MA filter, which is why it cites 134 awards and $271,218,219.09.

Place of performance in Massachusetts is a USAspending geography field. Awards can list MA while work occurs in New York or Maryland. 541714 awards coded to those states do not sit in this total even if a lab's mailroom is in Cambridge. This packet does not split Cambridge from Boston or Worcester.

Obligations, not outlays

An obligation is a legal commitment. An outlay is a payment. $271,218,219.09 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 Massachusetts over-reads the field.

Award count 134 is a record count, not a payment count. Readers who need transaction-level detail should use Massachusetts federal spending, NAICS 541714, and Massachusetts industries. All spending ties does not hide a blended statewide total under this slug.

What this pair does not prove

A large 541714 total in Massachusetts does not mean labs caused Massachusetts's biotech mix, and it does not connect these obligations to campaign contributions. Correlation between cluster geography and R&D awards is expected; it is not a finding about discovery quality or waste.

Keep $271,218,219.09 labeled as NAICS 541714 obligations with Massachusetts 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 Massachusetts-541714 pair

A clean footnote names NAICS 541714 (Research And Development In Biotechnology (Except Nanobiotechnology)), Massachusetts place of performance, $271,218,219.09 in obligations, and 134 awards on USAspending.gov. Keep the obligation word. Do not call $271,218,219.09 cash outlays. Mean dollars per action remain about $2,024,016.56 if you divide those two facts — a ratio, not a typical research contract.

Massachusetts federal spending, NAICS 541714, Massachusetts industries, and All spending ties keep the same unit. A later ingest can restate $271,218,219.09 without changing the join definition. Rewrite only the sentence whose source moved. Cambridge-versus-Worcester folklore is not a metro split in this packet. Lab 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.

Questions

How much has NAICS 541714 obligated in Massachusetts?

USAspending.gov records $271,218,219.09 in obligations for NAICS 541714 with Massachusetts place of performance, covering 134 awards. That is an obligation total, not an outlay total, and not the nationwide Biotech R&D total. Original filings remain on the source sites.

Does this total include every Massachusetts biotech lab?

The extract lists 134 award actions totaling $271,218,219.09. Average obligation per award is about $2,024,016.56, a ratio of two packet facts, not a typical research contract. Unique recipients are not published here, and the row count is not a company census. Original filings remain on the source sites.

Is this a Cambridge-only biotech total?

No. $271,218,219.09 and 134 awards are statewide Massachusetts place of performance. This packet does not split Cambridge from Boston or Worcester. A regional cut would be a different extract, not this NAICS-state join. Original filings remain on the source sites.

Where are the live Massachusetts and NAICS 541714 tables?

Massachusetts federal spending shows statewide spending. NAICS 541714 shows NAICS 541714 without a state filter. Massachusetts industries lists other Massachusetts industry cells. All spending ties lists other pairs. This page is the join of those two filters, not a restatement of either hub. Original filings remain on the source sites.
