Federal obligations in other measuring and controlling device manufacturing (NAICS 334519)

Residual instruments, not analytical lab NAICS 334516

NAICS 334519 is the “other” bucket inside measuring and controlling device manufacturing. Gauges and controls that contracting officers will not put on 334516 or 334517 can land here. The $3,429,040,038.88 total is that residual manufacturing tag, not a metrology-lab census.

A chromatograph buy tagged 334516 will not raise this residual row. A residual measuring-device order tagged 334519 will. SpendingVault reports the USAspending award tag, not an NIST inventory and not an FEC employer string such as “engineer.”

19,874 awards on a $3.43 billion obligation stock

Nineteen thousand eight hundred seventy-four awards produced $3,429,040,038.88 in obligations. That action count is thick for a residual manufacturing class: catalog parts can stack. The packet does not split capital instruments from accessories. The table shows tagged dollars and the 19,874-award count.

Obligations move with new awards, options, and modifications, including deobligations. Outlays are payments and are not this $3,429,040,038.88 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. lab-construction grants and many research-equipment assistance awards often have no NAICS field. Those dollars will not add to the 19,874 awards. Open program pages for grant-funded activity in this industry.

The label is a Census NAICS classification. It is not a calibration-lab census and not campaign-finance text. Cite USAspending.gov via SpendingVault for $3,429,040,038.88 and the 19,874-award count.

What the 334519 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 gauge failed, that a control drifted, or that a small business was excluded. SpendingVault does not score outcomes from the dollar total.

Use award IDs, not the $3,429,040,038.88 headline, to separate two companies. Subcontractors may be missing if the prime coded 334519. UEI and name changes are ordinary in the file.

Neighboring 3345 instrument codes

Analytical laboratory instruments (334516) and irradiation apparatus (334517) are separate pages. Adding them to $3,429,040,038.88 would mix named instrument families with this residual. That recode is not this page.

Assistance without NAICS remains outside the 19,874-award count. For a recipient that also holds grants, open the recipient record. This guide stays on contract NAICS 334519 from USAspending.gov. Keep obligations distinct from outlays.

Residual gauges versus named lab and imaging apparatus

A lab-instrument award tagged 334516 will not raise the 19,874-award count. A residual-device order tagged 334519 sits in $3,429,040,038.88 even if the same prime also holds a 334517 imaging vehicle. SpendingVault does not merge those rows.

Searchers who want “all federal instruments” must add 334516, 334517, and testing-lab services 541380 and will still miss grants. This page does not perform that recode. Cite contract NAICS 334519 only. Do not treat the row as an FEC occupation called engineer. The $3,429,040,038.88 figure remains an obligation stock on USAspending.gov. Modifications that cancel a catalog line will lower the running total without publishing a calibration statistic on this hub. Open award rows for device descriptions. Neighboring 3345 lines stay on their own pages unless those awards were tagged 334519.

A residual gauge tagged 334519 still sits in $3,429,040,038.88; a spectrometer tagged 334516 does not. The 19,874 awards remain an action count, not a factory census. Keep 334517 irradiation apparatus on its own page. Cite USAspending.gov contract NAICS 334519 only. The headline is still obligations, not outlays. Research grants without NAICS stay outside this contract rollup. Do not add 334516 or 334517 into $3,429,040,038.88 without documenting a recode. The 19,874 awards stay an action file, not a metrology 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 334519. 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.

Questions

How much has the federal government obligated under NAICS 334519?

USAspending.gov contract aggregates on SpendingVault show $3,429,040,038.88 in obligations across 19,874 awards tagged other measuring and controlling device manufacturing. The number is obligations, not outlays. Assistance awards without NAICS are omitted. It is not an FEC employer string and not a combined total of neighboring NAICS codes.

Does this include analytical laboratory instruments?

Analytical laboratory instrument manufacturing is NAICS 334516. Those awards will not add to the $3,429,040,038.88 total unless tagged 334519. The 19,874 awards are the residual other-measuring-device contract tag from USAspending.gov via SpendingVault. Adding 334516 is a recode you must document on this page.

Does this include irradiation apparatus?

Irradiation apparatus manufacturing is NAICS 334517. Those awards will not add to the $3,429,040,038.88 total unless tagged 334519. The 19,874 awards are the residual measuring-device contract tag. Open the 334517 industry page for that manufacturing rollup from USAspending.gov via SpendingVault.

Are these figures outlays or obligations?

They are obligations: legally binding commitments on contract actions. Outlays are payments and are not this $3,429,040,038.88 rollup. Modifications can change obligations without a same-day payment. SpendingVault cites USAspending.gov contract NAICS for the 19,874 awards, not a Treasury cash extract.
