NAICS 517919 all other telecommunications contract obligations

Federal contracts tagged NAICS 517919, All Other Telecommunications, show $6.9 billion in USAspending.gov obligations on SpendingVault. The aggregate is $6,934,931,782.64 across 2,170 awards, about $3.2 million per award. The code is a residual telecommunications-service class, not equipment manufacturing and not satellite or reseller tags. Dollars are obligations, not outlays; assistance without NAICS is excluded.

Key figures

  • NAICS 517919 residual telecom services show $6.9 billion obligated.
  • 2,170 awards average about $3.2 million in the USAspending extract.
  • Satellite, reseller, and equipment-manufacturing NAICS are separate hubs.
  • Figures are contract obligations, not outlays or circuit counts.

A residual telecom-service bin at $6.9 billion

All other telecommunications is the leftover six-digit class after more specific telecom-service codes are assigned. Residual status does not mean small: this hub holds $6,934,931,782.64 on 2,170 awards. Satellite telecommunications (517410) and telecommunications resellers (517310) have their own pages in this extract and are not inside this residual total.

The mean of about $3.2 million can mix network-service vehicles with smaller circuit orders. The packet does not count circuits, minutes, or sites. Award descriptions on the industry page are the place to see what USAspending stored under the leftover label.

Communications equipment manufacturing (334290) measures hardware makers, not this service tag. Buying a radio and buying a network path are different industry hubs.

Telecommunications service NAICS codes split residual “all other,” satellite, and resellers. All other telecommunications (517919) holds $6,934,931,782.64 on 2,170 awards, about $3.2 million per award. Satellite (517410) and resellers (517310) are different 517 classes with their own hubs. Same neighborhood of the classification tree, three different books.

Service vehicles and cash timing

Telecom contracts often obligate estimated monthly service and pay as invoices arrive. Unused capacity on a vehicle leaves obligated balances unpaid. Treating $6.9 billion as bills already paid would overstate cash.

The 2,170-award count is not a circuit count. Multiple sites can sit inside one award. Dividing dollars by awards is not a cost per line.

Specific telecom NAICS stay separate

Resellers (517310) and satellite telecommunications (517410) are different 517 codes with their own hubs. Those patterns are not this residual class. Adding the three telecom hubs would mix tags the source keeps apart — and would still omit assistance without NAICS.

Grants that fund broadband at non-federal recipients often lack NAICS and do not enter $6,934,931,782.64.

Communications equipment manufacturing (334290) measures hardware makers, not this service tag. Broadband grants to non-federal recipients often lack NAICS and do not enter $6,934,931,782.64. This hub is tagged residual telecom-service contracts.

How to use the 517919 hub

Read $6.9 billion and 2,170 awards as the leftover telecom-service tag, then compare 517 codes on the all-industries index by both dollars and award count. Open the all other telecommunications industry page for rows.

Do not treat “all other” as a complete federal telecom budget. It is one residual contract tag.

Catch-all limits

Officers can place similar network work in 517919 or in a tighter telecom code. SpendingVault does not recode those choices. The published sum is the tagged residual total.

Extract updates will move $6,934,931,782.64 and 2,170 with USAspending.

How to read leftover telecom dollars

Open the all other telecommunications industry page and read descriptions. The residual title will not say whether an award was a circuit, a managed network, or another leftover service. The descriptions might. This guide does not invent that mix.

Rank 517 codes by both dollars and award count so reseller concentration is not mistaken for residual-service thickness. Cite USAspending.gov. Assistance without NAICS is excluded. Obligations remain distinct from outlays on unused monthly capacity. SpendingVault does not recode leftover telecom into satellite or reseller classes.

Residual telecom services at $6,934,931,782.64 on 2,170 awards are a leftover 517 class, not a complete federal telecom bill. The mean of about $3.2 million is not a cost per circuit. Satellite and reseller NAICS codes have their own hubs.

Communications-equipment manufacturing is a goods tag, not this service tag. Open the all other telecommunications industry page and read descriptions. Cite USAspending.gov. Broadband grants often lack NAICS and stay outside. Unused monthly capacity means obligations can exceed invoices already paid.

Two thousand one hundred seventy residual telecom awards at $6,934,931,782.64 are leftover network-service contracts. Satellite and reseller classes have their own hubs. Equipment manufacturing is a goods question. Broadband grants often omit NAICS. Open the all other telecommunications industry page and read descriptions the residual title will not supply. Cite USAspending.gov. Unused monthly capacity is why obligations are not outlays.

The 2,170-award count next to $6,934,931,782.64 is leftover telecom-service thickness. Rank residual 517919 beside other 517 hubs without treating leftover as a complete network budget. Those two packet facts — 2,170 awards and $6.9 billion obligated — are the whole quantitative claim this guide is allowed to make.

Questions

What is NAICS 517919 in USAspending?
It is the residual All Other Telecommunications service class. SpendingVault’s aggregate is $6,934,931,782.64 in obligations across 2,170 contract awards. Satellite and reseller NAICS codes are separate hubs. The total is obligations, not outlays, and it excludes assistance without NAICS. Open the industry page for award rows behind $6,934,931,782.64 and the count of 2,170.
What is the average 517919 award?
Dividing $6,934,931,782.64 by 2,170 awards yields about $3.2 million. That mean mixes large network vehicles with smaller service orders. It is not a cost per circuit. The packet does not publish a median or a line count. Inspect award-level amounts rather than treating $3.2 million as a cost per circuit; the packet has no line count.
Does this include satellite telecommunications?
No. Satellite telecommunications is NAICS 517410, a different six-digit code and a different industry page. This $6.9 billion is the residual 517919 tag only. Use each telecom hub for its tagged total. Use the 517410 hub for satellite telecommunications and this hub for the residual 517919 tag.
Are broadband grants in this total?
Usually no. The aggregate is built from USAspending contract awards that carry NAICS 517919. Assistance awards often omit NAICS and therefore do not enter $6.9 billion. Program pages are the better surface for grant-funded broadband. Program pages remain the better surface for grant-funded broadband that never received this telecom NAICS.

NAICS from USAspending contract awards. Assistance awards may not carry NAICS.
