Wired Telecommunications Carriers in Virginia (NAICS 517111)

NAICS 517111 dollars tagged to Virginia

NAICS 517111 and geography VA meet in this cell. $254,174,697.64 is the USAspending.gov obligation sum on awards that carry both tags. It is not the industry’s national total, not Virginia’s entire federal inflow, and not an outlay. NAICS 517111 is wired telecommunications carriers under the later Census numbering, not wireless carriers and not custom computer programming. Remove either filter and the number changes. This page never claims the pair caused the other side to exist.

1,102 awards sit beside $254,174,697.64. That count can include contracts, orders, and modifications. Treating 1,102 as a roster of carriers, central offices, or subscribers would misread award records as people or plants. Unique recipients are unpublished on this packet. A four-figure award book at this dollar scale is consistent with many service actions stacked over time, not with a single statewide circuit buy.

Open Virginia federal spending for every industry coded to the state, NAICS 517111 for the code without a state filter, Virginia industries for the state industry index, and All spending ties for other pairs. Do not add those parent tables into $254,174,697.64.

Wired carriers on 517111, not a sibling telecom code

The slug suffix -2 is a disambiguator: this Virginia wired-carrier page is keyed to NAICS 517111. Wireless telecommunications and older wired-carrier numbering live on other industry pages. Mixing those dollars into $254,174,697.64 would invent a roll-up the packet does not publish. NAICS 517111 is the only industry key on this Virginia tie. Speech about “telecom in Virginia” often folds wireless, satellite, and IT services into one story; this table does not.

Dividing $254,174,697.64 by 1,102 awards yields about $230,649 per award. That mean is a ratio of two packet facts, not a typical invoice and not a median. The packet has no fiscal-year split and no de-obligation history. It does not name carriers, circuits, or Northern Virginia campuses. Keep the figure labeled as NAICS 517111 obligations with Virginia place of performance.

Virginia geography on a 517111 cell

Virginia place of performance can cover Northern Virginia, Hampton Roads, or a Richmond reporting address. The packet has no city, MSA, or ZIP split. Naming one carrier campus as the whole Virginia book adds a label the facts do not carry. All of those places, if they appear at all, share the VA tag inside $254,174,697.64.

Place of performance can follow a payee address, in-state work, or a reporting convention. Awards coded to the District of Columbia or Maryland do not enter this sum even if a vendor’s mailroom sits in Virginia. The join cannot re-allocate dollars along a network map. Virginia federal spending still includes every other NAICS coded to VA.

Obligations, not outlays, on Virginia 517111

An obligation is a legal commitment. An outlay is a payment. $254,174,697.64 is the former. This packet has no outlay total, no fiscal-year split, and no de-obligation history. Citing the figure as cash already cleared in Virginia over-reads the field. 1,102 remains an award-record count, not a payment count and not a circuit count. Keep the obligation word when you quote NAICS 517111 in Virginia.

What the 517111–Virginia pair does not prove

A large wired-carrier total tagged to Virginia does not mean the industry caused broadband coverage, and it does not connect these obligations to campaign contributions. Correlation is not causation. FEC filings and USAspending awards are different datasets. The -2 slug marks NAICS 517111, not a second copy of an older wired-carrier code. Keep $254,174,697.64 labeled as NAICS 517111 obligations with Virginia place of performance. Virginia industries lists other codes in the state; All spending ties indexes other pairs.

How to cite NAICS 517111 in Virginia

A clean footnote names NAICS 517111 (Wired Telecommunications Carriers), Virginia place of performance, $254,174,697.64 in obligations, and 1,102 awards on USAspending.gov. Keep the obligation word and the 517111 code so this -2 page is not confused with another telecom join. Mean dollars per action remain about $230,649. Quote Virginia federal spending if you need every industry in the state, and quote NAICS 517111 if you need the code without the VA filter. Do not per-capita the total; population is unpublished here.
