Telephone apparatus manufacturing (NAICS 334210) contract obligations

One thousand seventy-nine awards, $1.96 billion committed

The $1,959,219,936.01 obligation stock sits on 1,079 contract awards, implying about $1.82 million per award. Telephone-apparatus manufacturing can mix switching gear, handsets, and related equipment as the awarding office classified them. The packet does not split products. It supports the sum and the count.

Wired and wireless telecom carriers are services/carrier NAICS, not this manufacturing line. Mixing carrier contracts with $1,959,219,936.01 invents a “telecom” total this packet does not contain. Only awards tagged 334210 feed this page.

Hardware manufacturing versus telecom service

Buying minutes or circuits is a carrier or reseller code when tagged that way. Buying switches or telephone apparatus is 334210 when the office reported that NAICS. Keep the instrument and the industry tag in the sentence.

Assistance for broadband programs may lack NAICS. Those grants would not increment this industry total. Keep 334210 on the contract hub.

Obligations versus equipment invoices

A telephone-apparatus contract can be obligated when the order is signed while installation invoices arrive later. Outlays are not in the packet. The 1,079 awards include modifications that keep 334210. Negative modifications reduce the net without meaning that a switch was decommissioned.

What 1,079 does not count

The award count is not 1,079 handsets and not 1,079 factories. One equipment vehicle can generate many of those rows. The industry page lists recipients.

Using the telephone-apparatus hub

The Telephone Apparatus Manufacturing industry page lists the USAspending.gov actions behind $1.96 billion. Agencies and vendors belong there. Compare 334210 with other communications-equipment codes on the all-industries index.

Citing 334210 without mixing it with carrier bills

Quote $1,959,219,936.01 as USAspending contract obligations on 1,079 awards tagged NAICS 334210. Do not fold in wired-carrier, wireless, or satellite-telecom NAICS unless those awards also carry 334210. Apparatus manufacturing is easy to confuse with monthly service; the industry table follows the code on the award.

Readers sometimes treat telephone-apparatus dollars as a count of federal extensions. The public NAICS total does not support that conversion. The $1.96 billion is a contract-obligation stock. Option years can raise the recorded commitment before gear ships. Keep outlays out of the sentence.

The 1,079-award count should travel with the dollars. Warehouse refreshes can move both figures. Recoding an order to a broader communications-equipment NAICS would send new actions off this page.

Assistance without NAICS remains outside. Quote USAspending.gov, quote obligations, quote 1,079 awards, and open the hub for recipients. Stop before converting telephone apparatus manufacturing into a product recommendation.

Readers quoting this industry should keep two packet facts in one sentence: $1,959,219,936 in USAspending.gov contract obligations and 1,079 awards tagged NAICS 334210 (TELEPHONE APPARATUS MANUFACTURING). Dropping either figure hides whether the book is a few large vehicles or many small orders. The rounded obligation used for citation is $1,959,219,936; cents on the source total, if any, do not change the industry identity of the code.

TELEPHONE APPARATUS MANUFACTURING shows 1,079 award records, enough to include recurring orders without resembling a micro-purchase flood. Modifications that keep the code are inside the count. Durable-goods manufacturing codes record tagged contractor commitments, not property books or units fielded. TELEPHONE APPARATUS MANUFACTURING is an industry tag on awards, not a finished-goods census. Record corrections in the USAspending.gov warehouse can move both the $1,959,219,936 and the 1,079-award count. Treat the live TELEPHONE APPARATUS MANUFACTURING industry page as current and this file as a reading of the harvested packet.

Internal comparison belongs on the all-industries index, where NAICS 334210 sits beside other six-digit contract totals. Adding neighboring codes by hand creates a new total this packet does not contain; cite each NAICS if you add. Assistance awards that omit NAICS remain outside $1,959,219,936. Outlays remain unpublished here. Quote obligations, quote 1,079 awards, cite USAspending.gov, and open the overlay hub for recipients rather than inventing agencies, fiscal years, or unit counts the packet does not list.

A second check on language: do not call $1,959,219,936 an appropriation, a budget request, or cash disbursed. It is the recorded contract-obligation stock for TELEPHONE APPARATUS MANUFACTURING (NAICS 334210) in the indexed USAspending.gov extract. Do not call 1,079 a count of establishments. It is an award-record count. Those two constraints are the whole method of this guide.

Questions

How much is obligated under NAICS 334210 telephone apparatus?

USAspending.gov contract awards tagged Telephone Apparatus Manufacturing show $1,959,219,936.01 in obligations on 1,079 awards.

Assistance awards that omit NAICS are outside both figures.

Does this include phone service from carriers?

Only if those service awards were also tagged 334210, a manufacturing code. Carrier NAICS, when used, sit on other industry pages and are outside the $1,959,219,936.01. Keep the citation on contract obligations: $1,959,219,936 on 1,079 awards coded NAICS 334210. Outlays, grants without NAICS, and unit counts are not in the packet that produced this page.

The industry hub lists the underlying USAspending.gov rows. This answer restates only packet facts: NAICS 334210, $1,959,219,936 obligated, and 1,079 awards for TELEPHONE APPARATUS MANUFACTURING.

Are broadband grants included?

Assistance awards often lack NAICS, so they are omitted from this rollup. The $1,959,219,936.01 and 1,079 awards are the contract slice tagged 334210. Do not treat 1,079 as establishments or $1,959,219,936 as cash disbursed. Both numbers describe USAspending.gov contract actions tagged NAICS 334210 (TELEPHONE APPARATUS MANUFACTURING), not assistance and not outlays.
