NAICS 334111 electronic computer manufacturing obligations

Fifty-two thousand awards at a modest mean

Fifty-two thousand four hundred twenty-eight awards against $10,886,585,561.67 produces a mean of about $207,648. That is a high-volume manufacturing-and-supply pattern: many discrete actions rather than a handful of supercomputer factory contracts, though large systems can still sit inside the average. The packet does not count CPUs, laptops, or servers.

Electronic computer manufacturing is a six-digit Census class. Contracting officers pick it when making computers is the principal purpose. Buying computers through a reseller, writing custom software, or hosting those computers in a data center uses other NAICS codes. Those neighboring totals are not inside this $10.9 billion.

A computer that is a line item on a broader IT services contract may never receive 334111. The industry total follows the tag on the action, not a physical inventory of machines on federal desks.

Finished computers, components, hosting, and software sit in different NAICS families. Electronic computer manufacturing (334111) is the finished-computer manufacturing tag at $10,886,585,561.67 on 52,428 awards. Component manufacturing (334419), hosting (518210), and residual communications equipment (334290) are separate hubs. This $10.9 billion is 334111 only.

Obligation timing on hardware buys

Hardware supply contracts often obligate and pay on similar schedules when delivery is short. Supercomputer or configured-system contracts can obligate early and pay across installation milestones. This packet does not split those types. The $10.9 billion remains an obligation sum, not a cash-paid total.

The 52,428-award count can include small delivery orders. It is not a unit count of computers. Modifications that add memory or extend warranty still sit inside the award tally as USAspending grouped them.

High award volume at a ~$207,648 mean looks like many configured-system and supply actions rather than a handful of supercomputer factory contracts, though large systems can still sit inside the average. The packet still has no unit count, so the mean is not a laptop price.

Manufacturing versus hosting and components

NAICS 518210 covers computing infrastructure providers and data processing. NAICS 334419 covers other electronic component manufacturing. Neither total is a subset of 334111. A reader summing “federal computers” from several codes would mix manufacturing, parts, and services the source keeps apart.

Assistance awards that buy computers for schools or clinics often lack NAICS and do not enter $10,886,585,561.67.

How to use the 334111 hub

Treat 52,428 awards as the distinctive coordinate next to $10.9 billion. Rank the code on the all-industries index against other electronics manufacturing NAICS. Open the electronic computer manufacturing industry page for award rows.

Do not convert $207,648 into a laptop price. Configuration, quantity, and whether the award is a vehicle or a single delivery are not in the packet.

Limits of the manufacturing tag

Officers can tag assembled systems as 334111 or as a residual electronics code. SpendingVault does not recode. The published figure is the tagged contract sum.

Extract updates will move $10,886,585,561.67 and 52,428. Until then, those are the recorded USAspending figures for this code.

Why hosting dollars are not in this total

Cloud and data-processing contracts tagged 518210 measure infrastructure providers and related services. Manufacturing a computer and paying to host workloads are different tagged activities. A reader summing “federal IT” from 334111 plus 518210 would mix hardware and services the source keeps apart — and would still omit software and assistance without NAICS.

Use the electronic computer manufacturing industry page for 334111 rows. Rank it among 334 manufacturing codes by dollars and by award count. Cite USAspending.gov. Do not treat the 52,428-award table as an inventory of machines on federal desks.

Electronic computer manufacturing at $10,886,585,561.67 on 52,428 awards is a high-volume hardware tag. The mean of about $207,648 will disappoint anyone hunting a single supercomputer headline and will match anyone expecting many configured-system and supply actions. The packet still has no unit count.

Hosting, components, and software NAICS codes are not this $10.9 billion. Rank 334111 among 334 manufacturing codes by both dollars and award count. Open the industry page for rows. Cite USAspending.gov. Assistance without NAICS is excluded. Obligations are not outlays, even when hardware deliveries close quickly.

Fifty-two thousand four hundred twenty-eight awards are the distinctive coordinate on this hub. A reader ranking only by $10,886,585,561.67 will miss that thickness. Open the electronic computer manufacturing industry page and treat the table as many discrete hardware actions, not one factory headline. SpendingVault follows USAspending.gov; later extracts can revise both the dollar sum and the award count. Untagged assistance never enters this manufacturing figure.

Questions

How much is obligated under NAICS 334111?

Electronic computer manufacturing contracts in USAspending show $10,886,585,561.67 in obligations across 52,428 awards. That is a manufacturing tag, not a count of laptops on federal desks and not a software-services total. The figure is obligations, not outlays. Assistance without NAICS is excluded.

Why is the average award about $207,648?

Dividing $10,886,585,561.67 by 52,428 awards yields about $207,648. High award volume pulls the mean below many capital-equipment NAICS codes. The average is not a catalog computer price. Quantity, configuration, and vehicle structure are not in this packet. Configuration, quantity, and whether the award is a delivery order or a vehicle are not in this packet.

Does this include cloud hosting?

No. Computing infrastructure providers, data processing, and web hosting use NAICS 518210, a different code. NAICS 334111 is electronic computer manufacturing. Hosting dollars tagged 518210 are not inside this $10.9 billion. Use each industry page for its own tagged total.

Are school computer grants in this total?

Typically no. This aggregate is built from USAspending contract awards that carry NAICS 334111. Assistance awards often omit NAICS and therefore do not enter the industry figure. Program pages are the better surface for grant-funded device purchases. Program pages remain the better surface for grant-funded device purchases that never received this manufacturing NAICS.
