USAspending.gov records $60,875,099.53 in NAICS 511210 (Software Publishers) obligations with Minnesota place of performance, across 121 awards. The pair is NAICS 511210 plus Minnesota geography, not Minnesota's ship-building, electronics-repair, or nonwoven-mill overlays on this slice. 121 awards against that dollar total imply about $503,100 per award, a software-publishing book rather than a repair-shop catalog. Original filings remain on USAspending.gov.

Minnesota and software publishers as a pair
NAICS 511210 and place-of-performance state MN meet on this tie. $60,875,099.53 is the obligation sum on awards that carry both tags. It is not Minnesota's statewide federal total, not the nationwide software publishers rollup, and not cash already paid. USAspending labels the industry Software Publishers; this overlay applies that code only where Minnesota is the geography field.
121 is an award-action count. Modifications, delivery orders, and repeat vehicles add rows. Unique vendors are not published in this packet. Reading 121 as plants, offices, or payrolls in Minnesota would confuse actions with establishments. The join does not rank Minnesota against other states and does not assign a fiscal year; none is in the facts.
Open Minnesota federal spending for the state rollup, NAICS 511210 for the industry hub, Minnesota industries for other NAICS in the same geography, and All spending ties for other pairs. Do not add those parent pages into $60,875,099.53.
NAICS 511210, not Minnesota ships or nonwovens
USAspending labels NAICS 511210 as Software Publishers. The packet does not name products, licenses, or primes. Electronic and precision equipment repair and maintenance (NAICS 811210) is a Minnesota overlay on this slice at $60,171,137.73 across 422 awards; repair is not publishing. Do not fold 811210 into $60,875,099.53.
Minnesota ship building and repairing (NAICS 336611) is $60,431,018.26 across 43 awards on this slice, and nonwoven fabric mills (NAICS 313230) is $55,531,699.31 across 2,009 awards. Those codes share MN geography only. Award titles on the NAICS 511210 hub are the place to see what a given line bought.
Place of performance in Minnesota
Minnesota on this join is a geography field, not a Twin Cities-only overlay. Place of performance can list MN while later work occurs in Wisconsin or Iowa; those states are not inside this total unless also coded MN. The packet does not split counties.
The state hub for Minnesota shows how 511210 sits beside other industries with MN place of performance. Awards can list Minnesota while headquarters sit elsewhere. Software-publishing folklore is ordinary speech, not extra packet dollars.
121 awards and a mid-six-figure mean
Dividing $60,875,099.53 by 121 yields about $503,100 per award on average. That mean is still only a ratio of two packet facts, not a typical license invoice. Award count 121 is a record count, not a payment count.
An obligation is a legal commitment. $60,875,099.53 is that kind of sum. This packet has no outlay total and no fiscal-year split. Citing the figure as cash already spent in Minnesota over-reads the field.
What the software-Minnesota join does not prove
A software-publishing cell is not an employment ranking and not a claim that campaign contributions funded the awards. FEC filings and USAspending awards are different datasets. Keep $60,875,099.53 labeled as NAICS 511210 obligations with Minnesota place of performance. Correlation is not causation.
A later ingest can restate $60,875,099.53 or the 121 count without changing the join key of NAICS 511210 and MN. Place of performance remains a geography tag, not proof that work stayed inside Minnesota. Keep the obligation word on $60,875,099.53 in every footnote.
How to cite software publishers in Minnesota
Cite USAspending.gov, NAICS 511210 (Software Publishers), Minnesota (MN), $60,875,099.53, and 121 awards. Note that the figures are obligations. Point readers to Minnesota federal spending, NAICS 511210, Minnesota industries, and All spending ties rather than collapsing those pages into this cell. Mean per award stays about $503,100 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. Minnesota's 511210 cell is software publishers. 121 awards and $60,875,099.53 are not other NAICS in the same state and not the same NAICS in another state unless those figures appear above.
