NAICS 511210 dollars tagged to California
NAICS 511210 is software publishers under the older Census numbering, not custom computer programming. The dollar figure $330,032,197.73 applies only where the industry code and the CA geography are both present. California federal spending is larger because it includes other NAICS. NAICS 511210 is larger because it includes other states. This tie is the intersection.
1,821 actions produced the California book. 1,821 awards against $330.0 million is a busy publishing cell rather than a single enterprise-license vehicle. Award rows are not the same as establishments in the Economic Census. A single vendor can hold several of the 1,821 records. The packet does not identify vendors.
Readers comparing codes should open California industries rather than inferring rank from this one cell. All spending ties collects other intersections. NAICS 511210 without the California filter is a different total. None of those pages should be added into $330,032,197.73.
Publishers, not custom programmers
Custom computer programming (541511) and the Virginia 513210 software-publishers join are different pages. Residual or neighboring codes are easy to merge in speech and wrong to merge in this table. NAICS 511210 is software publishers under the older Census numbering, not custom computer programming. $330,032,197.73 stays inside 511210 × CA only.
The implied mean of about $181,237 is $330,032,197.73 / 1,821. 511210 and 513210 are different six-digit keys. Do not merge this California cell into a Virginia 513210 book. There is no distribution in the packet: no p50, no largest award, no fiscal year. A high mean can be one vehicle; a low mean can be many delivery orders. This extract cannot tell those stories apart.
California geography on a software-publisher cell
California place of performance can cover Silicon Valley, Los Angeles, San Diego, or a reporting address. The packet has no metro split. San Jose, Los Angeles, or a named publisher campus are ordinary place names, not columns. The only geography key is CA. Splitting $330,032,197.73 across those names would be invention.
USAspending place of performance is a reporting field. It can diverge from where parts were made, where patients were seen, or where a ship was docked. This page repeats the coded California tag. It does not audit the field. California federal spending uses the same geography convention across industries.
Obligations, not outlays, on California 511210
Obligations are not outlays. $330,032,197.73 is the commitment aggregate for this pair. Later modifications can raise or lower what is eventually paid. The packet does not report outlays or a fiscal-year series. Quote 1,821 as award records. Do not call $330,032,197.73 ‘spent in California this year’ — no year is published here.
What the publisher–California pair does not prove
511210 and 513210 are different six-digit keys. Do not merge this California cell into a Virginia 513210 book. Federal awards in one NAICS do not explain California employment, and itemized campaign gifts do not pay USAspending obligations. Different statutes, different tables. Cite NAICS 511210 and California together so the join stays visible. California industries and All spending ties are the related indexes.
How to cite NAICS 511210 in California
Footnote form: USAspending.gov; NAICS 511210 Software Publishers; place of performance California; obligations $330,032,197.73; awards 1,821; mean about $181,237 (ratio only). Link California federal spending and NAICS 511210 as parents. Do not convert $330,032,197.73 to per-capita figures; population is not a packet fact. 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.
