Named general warehousing, not residual 493190
NAICS 493110 is the general warehousing and storage class. Public merchandise warehousing and related general space can land here when the award is tagged 493110. Residual other warehousing (493190) is a sibling page with a much thicker award file in this portfolio batch. The $3,989,936,275.74 total is the named general class, not a square-footage census of federal depots.
A logistics contractor whose SAM primary NAICS is 493190 can still appear under 493110 on a single task order. SpendingVault reports the USAspending award tag, not the firm’s full registration. The code is not an FEC employer string such as “logistics” and not a GSA leased-depot inventory.
3,254 awards versus the residual 493190 file
Three thousand two hundred fifty-four awards produced $3,989,936,275.74 in obligations. That action count is far thinner than residual 493190’s 221,590 awards in the same packet family. Named general warehousing can be fewer vehicles; residual classes sometimes collect many small, oddly described storage actions. The packet does not prove that hypothesis. It reports this code’s tagged dollars and the 3,254-award count.
Obligations move with new awards, options, and modifications, including deobligations. Outlays are payments for storage performed and are not this $3,989,936,275.74 rollup. A multi-year warehouse vehicle can show a large commitment while invoices follow occupancy. The industry page does not convert obligations into a square-foot calendar.
Contract NAICS versus logistics grants
USAspending.gov stores NAICS on contract actions. Food-aid logistics, surplus property, and many disaster-storage grants are assistance and often have no NAICS field. Those dollars will not add to the 3,254 awards even when the work is warehousing. Open program pages for grant-funded storage.
The label is a Census named warehousing classification. It is not a PSC rollup by itself and not campaign-finance text. Cite USAspending.gov via SpendingVault for $3,989,936,275.74 and the 3,254-award count.
Reading the 493110 table
The hub lists recipients and awards that share this NAICS tag. A large obligation is a disclosed commitment. It is not a finding that goods were lost, that a depot failed inspection, or that a small business was excluded. SpendingVault does not score storage performance from the dollar total.
Use award IDs, not the $3,989,936,275.74 headline, to separate two companies. Subcontracted 3PLs may be missing if the prime coded general warehousing. UEI and name changes are ordinary in the file.
Neighboring 493 warehousing codes
Other warehousing and storage (493190) is a separate residual page. Adding it to $3,989,936,275.74 would mix residual special-purpose storage with named general warehousing. That recode is not this page. Refrigerated and farm-product warehousing are other 493 lines.
Assistance without NAICS remains outside the 3,254-award count. For a firm that holds both storage contracts and grants, open the recipient record. This guide stays on contract NAICS 493110 from USAspending.gov. Keep obligations distinct from outlays.
Do not subtract 493110 from 493190
Residual 493190 is not a remainder after subtracting general warehousing. They are parallel Census classes. An award tagged 493190 will not raise the 3,254-award count. An award tagged 493110 sits in $3,989,936,275.74 even if the same prime also holds residual-storage vehicles. SpendingVault does not merge those rows.
Searchers who want “all federal storage” must add residual, refrigerated, and farm-product codes and will still miss assistance. This page does not perform that recode. Cite contract NAICS 493110 only. Do not treat the row as an FEC occupation called warehousing. The $3,989,936,275.74 figure remains an obligation stock on USAspending.gov. Modifications that cut space will lower the running total without publishing occupancy on this hub. Open award rows for location detail. Neighboring 493 lines stay on their own pages unless those awards were tagged 493110. A general-space task order tagged 493110 still sits in this rollup; a residual special-purpose tag does not. The 3,254 awards remain an action count, not a depot census. Cite USAspending.gov contract NAICS 493110 only. Refrigerated warehousing stays on its own 493 line unless the award was tagged 493110. Do not fold residual 493190 into $3,989,936,275.74 without documenting a recode. Farm-product warehousing is likewise a sibling class, not a remainder of this $3,989,936,275.74 named-general total.
Questions
- How much has the federal government obligated under NAICS 493110?
- USAspending.gov contract aggregates on SpendingVault show $3,989,936,275.74 in obligations across 3,254 awards tagged general warehousing and storage. The number is obligations, not outlays. Assistance awards without NAICS are omitted. It is not residual 493190, not an FEC logistics string, and not a depot square-footage census.
- Is this the same as other warehousing NAICS 493190?
- No. Census keeps residual other warehousing on 493190. NAICS 493110 is named general warehousing. An award tagged 493190 will not add to the $3,989,936,275.74 total. The 3,254 awards are the 493110 contract tag from USAspending.gov via SpendingVault. Adding the two codes is a recode you must document.
- Why does 493190 show far more awards in this portfolio batch?
- The packet reports 3,254 awards for 493110 and a separate residual 493190 file. Residual classes sometimes collect many small, oddly described storage actions. This page does not treat 493190 as a subset. Compare that industry page as a sibling rollup. Outlays remain a different USAspending field on both codes.
- Are these figures cash rent payments?
- No. They are obligations: legally binding commitments on contract actions. Outlays are payments and are not this $3,989,936,275.74 rollup. A warehouse vehicle can obligate a large amount while invoices follow occupancy. SpendingVault cites USAspending.gov contract NAICS for the 3,254 awards, not a rent-cash extract.
