Federal obligations in support activities for forestry (NAICS 115310)

Forestry support services, not a timber-grower NAICS

NAICS 115310 covers establishments that provide support activities for forestry. Cruising, thinning support, and related forest services can land here when the award is tagged 115310. Growing timber and public-admin fire crews sit on other codes. The $3,327,053,461.97 total is the support-activities tag, not a board-foot census.

A timber-sale assistance grant without NAICS will not raise this contract row. A forestry-support vehicle tagged 115310 will. SpendingVault reports the USAspending award tag, not an FIA plot inventory and not an FEC employer string such as “logger.”

34,887 awards on a $3.33 billion obligation stock

Thirty-four thousand eight hundred eighty-seven awards produced $3,327,053,461.97 in obligations. That action count is thick: many task orders against wildland or thinning vehicles can stack. The packet does not split fire-adjacent support from silviculture services. The table shows tagged dollars and the 34,887-award count.

Obligations move with new awards, options, and modifications, including deobligations. Outlays are payments and are not this $3,327,053,461.97 rollup. A multi-year vehicle can show a large commitment while invoices follow performance. The industry page does not convert obligations into a cash calendar.

How USAspending attaches this NAICS

USAspending.gov stores NAICS on contract actions. state forestry grants and many wildfire-assistance awards often have no NAICS field. Those dollars will not add to the 34,887 awards. Open program pages for grant-funded activity in this industry.

The label is a Census NAICS classification. It is not a timber-sale tract census and not campaign-finance text. Cite USAspending.gov via SpendingVault for $3,327,053,461.97 and the 34,887-award count.

What the 115310 table is and is not

The hub lists recipients and awards that share this NAICS tag. A large obligation is a disclosed commitment. It is not a finding that a stand failed, that a fire escaped, or that a small business was excluded. SpendingVault does not score outcomes from the dollar total.

Use award IDs, not the $3,327,053,461.97 headline, to separate two companies. Subcontractors may be missing if the prime coded 115310. UEI and name changes are ordinary in the file.

Neighboring agriculture and public-admin codes

Logging and public-administration fire protection are separate NAICS families. Adding them to $3,327,053,461.97 would mix grower classes and public-admin crews with forestry support. That recode is not this page.

Assistance without NAICS remains outside the 34,887-award count. For a recipient that also holds grants, open the recipient record. This guide stays on contract NAICS 115310 from USAspending.gov. Keep obligations distinct from outlays.

Support services versus grants and public crews

A wildfire-assistance grant without NAICS will not raise the 34,887-award count. A thinning-support vehicle tagged 115310 sits in $3,327,053,461.97 even if the same prime also holds a construction vehicle. SpendingVault does not merge those rows.

Searchers who want “all federal forestry” must add logging, public-admin fire, and assistance and will still miss in-house Forest Service crews. This page does not perform that recode. Cite contract NAICS 115310 only. Do not treat the row as an FEC occupation called logger. The $3,327,053,461.97 figure remains an obligation stock on USAspending.gov. Modifications that cut a task order will lower the running total without publishing an acreage statistic on this hub. Open award rows for work-type descriptions. Neighboring 115 lines stay on their own pages unless those awards were tagged 115310.

A thinning task tagged 115310 still sits in $3,327,053,461.97; a grant without NAICS does not. The 34,887 awards remain an action count, not a crew census. Keep public-admin fire NAICS on their own pages. Cite USAspending.gov contract NAICS 115310 only. The headline is still obligations, not outlays. In-house agency crews never appear in this contract tag. Do not add public-admin fire codes into $3,327,053,461.97 without documenting a recode. The 34,887 awards stay an action file, not an acreage roster. Open award rows for CLIN-level descriptions the NAICS hub does not publish. Neighboring codes stay on their own SpendingVault industry pages unless those awards were tagged 115310. Keep obligations distinct from outlays on this rollup. Assistance awards without NAICS remain outside the contract tag. The packet reports only this NAICS tag from USAspending.gov contract actions, not outlays and not assistance without a NAICS field. Do not treat this industry total as an FEC employer string or as a cash-outlay extract from Treasury.

Federal employees are not this contract NAICS rollup. NAICS 115310 totals contractor actions tagged support activities for forestry. The $3,327,053,461.97 figure and 34,887 awards are USAspending.gov contract aggregates on SpendingVault, not an OPM headcount. Assistance without NAICS is omitted on SpendingVault.

Are wildfire grants in this total?
