NAICS 517410 satellite telecommunications contract obligations

Satellite service, not spacecraft factories

NAICS 517410 is satellite telecommunications — service over satellite paths as the Census class groups it. Guided missile and space vehicle propulsion manufacturing (336415) is a hardware-manufacturing hub. This $6,189,364,142.60 is the service tag. Buying a transponder path and building a propulsion unit are different industry pages.

Four thousand six hundred twelve awards produced a mean of about $1.3 million. That is a thicker service book than many manufacturing codes at similar dollars, and a different shape from the reseller NAICS in the same 517 group. The satellite-service tag is many actions; inspect award count next to dollars.

The packet does not count transponders, terminals, or minutes. Award descriptions on the industry page are the place to see what USAspending stored.

Satellite telecommunications (517410) is a service tag at $6,189,364,142.60 on 4,612 awards, about $1.3 million per award. That is a much thicker book than the reseller NAICS in the same 517 group. Guided missile and space vehicle propulsion manufacturing (336415) is a hardware tag, not this service tag. Buying bandwidth and building a propulsion unit are different industry pages.

Service obligations versus invoices paid

Satellite-service contracts often obligate estimated bandwidth and pay as months are used. Unused capacity leaves obligated balances unpaid. Treating $6.2 billion as airtime already consumed would overstate cash.

The 4,612-award count is not a terminal count. Multiple sites can sit inside one award. Dividing dollars by awards is not a cost per dish.

Terrestrial and residual telecom stay outside

Telecommunications resellers (517310) and all other telecommunications (517919) are different 517 codes. Communications equipment manufacturing (334290) measures hardware. Those hubs are not subsets of $6,189,364,142.60.

Assistance that funds satellite terminals at non-federal users often lacks NAICS and does not enter this industry total.

A mixed satellite-and-terrestrial network contract will carry one principal NAICS. If that code is 517410, terrestrial line items on the same action sit in this $6.2 billion. If the officer chose 517919 or 517310, satellite line items on that action would not.

How to use the 517410 hub

Read $6.2 billion and 4,612 awards as the satellite-service tag, then compare 517 codes on the all-industries index by award count as well as dollars. Open the satellite telecommunications industry page for rows.

This guide does not add orbital slots or coverage maps because they are not in the facts object.

Classification limits

A mixed satellite-and-terrestrial network contract will carry one principal NAICS. If that code is 517410, terrestrial line items on the same action sit here. If the officer chose 517919 or 517310, satellite line items on that action would not.

Extract updates will move $6,189,364,142.60 and 4,612 with USAspending.

How to keep spacecraft factories out of the service total

No transponder, terminal, or minute field appears in the packet facts. The usable coordinates are $6.2 billion obligated and 4,612 awards. Dividing those figures does not yield a cost per dish.

Open the satellite telecommunications industry page for descriptions. Rank 517 codes by award count as well as dollars so reseller concentration is visible next to satellite thickness. Cite USAspending.gov. Assistance without NAICS is excluded. Obligations remain distinct from outlays on unused bandwidth.

Satellite telecommunications at $6,189,364,142.60 on 4,612 awards is a service book, not a spacecraft-factory book. The mean of about $1.3 million is not a cost per terminal. Transponder counts are not in the packet. Propulsion manufacturing is a 336 goods class.

Reseller and residual telecom NAICS codes are different 517 pages. Open the satellite telecommunications industry page for descriptions. Cite USAspending.gov. Assistance that funds terminals at non-federal users often lacks NAICS. Unused bandwidth leaves obligated balances unpaid. Mixed satellite-and-terrestrial contracts follow one principal NAICS.

Four thousand six hundred twelve satellite-service awards at $6,189,364,142.60 are bandwidth-and-terminal contracts, not propulsion manufacturing. Reseller and residual telecom tags live on other 517 pages. Terminal counts are not in the packet. Open the satellite telecommunications industry page. Cite USAspending.gov. Assistance that funds non-federal terminals often omits NAICS. Unused capacity is why obligations are not outlays.

The 4,612-award count next to $6,189,364,142.60 is satellite service thickness. Rank 517 codes by award count as well as dollars so this service book is not confused with a small-n reseller vehicle list.

Questions

How much is obligated under NAICS 517410?

Satellite telecommunications contracts in USAspending show $6,189,364,142.60 in obligations across 4,612 awards. That is a satellite-service tag, not propulsion manufacturing and not terrestrial resellers. The figure is obligations, not outlays. Assistance without NAICS is excluded. Open the industry page for award rows behind $6,189,364,142.60 and the count of 4,612.

What is the average satellite-telecom award?

Dividing $6,189,364,142.60 by 4,612 awards yields about $1.3 million. That mean mixes small terminal-service orders with larger bandwidth vehicles. It is not a cost per minute. The packet does not publish a median, a terminal count, or a transponder field.

Does this include building satellites or propulsion units?

Only if the officer tagged manufacturing as 517410, which would be an unusual principal-purpose choice. Propulsion manufacturing is NAICS 336415. This $6.2 billion is the satellite telecommunications service tag. Use manufacturing hubs for hardware totals. Use the 336415 hub for propulsion manufacturing and this hub for the satellite-service tag.

How is 517410 different from 517310?

517310 is telecommunications resellers, with 12 awards in this extract. 517410 is satellite telecommunications, with 4,612 awards. Similar dollars, different concentration and different Census classes. Use each industry page for its tagged total. Use the reseller hub for NAICS 517310 and this hub for satellite-service awards; each page carries only its own tagged total.
