Who gets paid for security

High confidence — Virginia FY2026. Virginia records an official NIGP commodity code on every purchase-order line, so each dollar here is tagged with what was actually bought. 1,901,705 purchase-order lines were read for FY2026 and only the lines carrying a commodity code for this trade are counted.

Florida — trade inferred from company name
No Florida figure for security. No company name in the Florida payment file was read as this trade, which is a limit of the name-matching method, not evidence that Florida spent nothing.
Federal — prime contract obligations, FY2025
Federal prime contract obligations under NAICS 561612, security guards & patrol services, FY2025.

Separate data set — Federal FY2025. Federal figures are prime contract obligations recorded under a six-digit NAICS code in FY2025. They are a different government, a different fiscal year and a different classification system from the state figures, so they are reported in their own block and never added to them.

Questions
How much public money went to security in Virginia?
Virginia recorded $11.01M on FY2026 purchase-order lines carrying a security commodity code, across 1,020 lines.
How much did Florida pay firms in this trade?
No Florida firm name in the payment file was read as security.
Can I see one combined number for both states?
No. The two states are classified by different methods — official commodity code in Virginia, company name in Florida — so a combined number would be misleading. Each state is reported on its own.
