All other publishers (NAICS 511199): 300 awards, $2.29 billion obligated

Three hundred awards hold $2.29 billion

Dividing $2,286,989,595.79 by 300 produces about $7.62 million per award. That high average and low count is the opposite of bakery-style delivery-order codes. Residual publishing here looks like a small set of large vehicles. The packet does not name those vehicles. It supports the obligation sum and the 300-award count.

Software publishers now often appear under 513210 in newer NAICS vintages. This page follows 511199 as harvested. Newspaper, book, and periodical publishing, when tagged to their own codes, are not inside $2.29 billion.

What “all other publishers” does not inventory

The Census residual is not a list of government printing plants and not a ranking of media companies. On a federal award it is the six-digit string the contracting office reported. Two awards can share 511199 and still describe different products—databases, maps, or other publishing the office placed in the residual.

Assistance for public-media or literacy programs may lack NAICS. Those grants would not increment $2,286,989,595.79. Keep this hub on the contract slice.

Obligations versus printing invoices

A publishing contract can be obligated for a multi-year content or database product while invoices follow milestones. Outlays are not in the packet. The 300 awards include modifications that keep 511199. Negative modifications reduce the net without deleting the title from a catalog.

Neighboring information codes

Software publishers (513210) and all other information services (519190) appear elsewhere in this extract. Compare them on the all-industries index. Do not merge residual publishing with software publishing unless you cite both codes.

Using the all-other-publishers hub

The All Other Publishers industry page lists the USAspending.gov rows behind $2.29 billion. Recipients and agencies belong there. This guide does not invent ISBNs or circulation figures.

Citing 511199 without inflating it into a media budget

Quote $2,286,989,595.79 as USAspending contract obligations on 300 awards tagged NAICS 511199. Do not present that sentence as federal spending on journalism or as GPO’s entire printing book. Those are different ledgers. This table is a residual publishing NAICS filter.

Because 300 is a small denominator, one large vehicle can dominate. That concentration is arithmetic, not a finding about media diversity. Warehouse refreshes can move both dollars and the count. Recoding a database award to an information-services NAICS would send new actions off this page.

The 300-award count includes modifications that keep the code, so unique instruments may be fewer. Open the hub before treating 300 as 300 publishers.

Assistance without NAICS remains outside. Quote USAspending.gov, quote obligations, quote 300 awards, and stop. Do not convert all other publishers into a recommendation about what the government should print.

Readers quoting this industry should keep two packet facts in one sentence: $2,286,989,596 in USAspending.gov contract obligations and 300 awards tagged NAICS 511199 (ALL OTHER PUBLISHERS). Dropping either figure hides whether the book is a few large vehicles or many small orders. The rounded obligation used for citation is $2,286,989,596; cents on the source total, if any, do not change the industry identity of the code.

ALL OTHER PUBLISHERS shows a moderate award-record count (300). Individual vehicles can still be large. The count includes modifications that retain the NAICS. Publishing and information codes record tagged contract commitments, not circulation, seats, or titles in print. ALL OTHER PUBLISHERS is the residual or product tag as reported. Record corrections in the USAspending.gov warehouse can move both the $2,286,989,596 and the 300-award count. Treat the live ALL OTHER PUBLISHERS industry page as current and this file as a reading of the harvested packet.

Internal comparison belongs on the all-industries index, where NAICS 511199 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 $2,286,989,596. Outlays remain unpublished here. Quote obligations, quote 300 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 $2,286,989,596 an appropriation, a budget request, or cash disbursed. It is the recorded contract-obligation stock for ALL OTHER PUBLISHERS (NAICS 511199) in the indexed USAspending.gov extract. Do not call 300 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 511199 all other publishers?

USAspending.gov contract awards tagged All Other Publishers show $2,286,989,595.79 in obligations on 300 awards. That is a procurement commitment total, not newsstand revenue and not outlays. USAspending.gov is the source for the $2,286,989,596 obligation stock and the 300 contract awards tagged ALL OTHER PUBLISHERS (NAICS 511199). Assistance awards that omit NAICS are outside both figures.

Why so few awards for $2.29 billion?

The indexed file contains 300 contract actions with this residual publishing NAICS, including modifications that keep the code. Large vehicles can produce this shape. 300 is an award-record count, not 300 firms. Keep the citation on contract obligations: $2,286,989,596 on 300 awards coded NAICS 511199. Outlays, grants without NAICS, and unit counts are not in the packet that produced this page.

Is this the same as software publishers?

No. Software publishers use other NAICS lines in this extract when tagged that way. Only awards reported as 511199 feed the $2,286,989,595.79. The industry hub lists the underlying USAspending.gov rows. This answer restates only packet facts: NAICS 511199, $2,286,989,596 obligated, and 300 awards for ALL OTHER PUBLISHERS.

Are public-media grants included?

Assistance awards often lack NAICS, so they are omitted from this rollup. The $2,286,989,595.79 and 300 awards are the contract slice tagged 511199. Do not treat 300 as establishments or $2,286,989,596 as cash disbursed. Both numbers describe USAspending.gov contract actions tagged NAICS 511199 (ALL OTHER PUBLISHERS), not assistance and not outlays.
