NAICS 517310 telecommunications resellers: $6.2 billion on 12 awards

Twelve awards, a $518.5 million mean

A 12-award book is closer to the single-award industrial-nonbuilding code than to a 2,000-award residual-telecom code. Dividing $6,221,921,810.02 by 12 yields about $518.5 million per award. That mean is consistent with large reseller vehicles — firms that buy network capacity and resell it — rather than a swarm of small circuit orders. The packet does not name carriers or circuits.

Census NAICS 517310 is telecommunications resellers. It is not satellite telecommunications (517410) and not all other telecommunications (517919). Those neighboring hubs have thousands of awards in this extract. This page’s $6.2 billion is the reseller tag only.

With n this small, one modification moves the industry total. Readers should treat $6,221,921,810.02 as sensitive to revisions of those 12 rows.

Telecommunications resellers (517310) are a 12-award book at $6,221,921,810.02, about $518.5 million per award. That concentration belongs with other small-n, high-dollar contract tags: few vehicles, large commitments. Satellite telecommunications (517410) and residual telecom (517919) are different 517 classes with their own hubs. Same neighborhood of the classification tree, different thickness.

Reseller vehicles versus cash paid

Reseller contracts can obligate estimated service across many sites while outlays follow monthly invoices. Unused capacity leaves obligated balances unpaid. Treating $6.2 billion as telecom bills already paid would overstate cash on open vehicles.

The 12-award count is not a line count or a handset count. One award can cover an enterprise-wide reseller vehicle. Dividing dollars by awards is not a cost per phone.

With n equal to 12, one modification moves the industry total. Readers should treat $6.2 billion as sensitive to revisions of those 12 rows. The mean of $518.5 million is not a cost per handset or per minute. The packet has no circuit or subscriber field.

Other 517 codes remain separate

Satellite telecommunications (517410) and all other telecommunications (517919) are different 517 codes with their own hubs. Adding those pages to $6.2 billion would mix tags the source keeps apart.

Broadband grants and other assistance often lack NAICS and do not enter this industry total.
