NAICS 522390 credit intermediation: $7.5 billion on 77 awards

USAspending.gov records $7.5 billion in federal contract obligations under NAICS 522390, Other Activities Related to Credit Intermediation, and that total sits on 77 awards. SpendingVault’s aggregate is $7,461,276,229.27, about $96.9 million per award. This is a concentrated financial-services tag, not a count of loans issued to the public. Dollars are contract obligations, not outlays; assistance without NAICS is excluded.

Key figures

  • NAICS 522390 credit-intermediation contracts show $7.5 billion obligated.
  • Only 77 awards carry that total — about $96.9 million each on average.
  • The figure is a contract tag, not public loan volume or outlays.
  • Untagged assistance and other finance NAICS sit on other pages.

Seventy-seven awards carry $7.5 billion

A 77-award book with a $96.9 million mean is a vehicle-dominated pattern, closer to the 100-award contact-center code than to a 300,000-award wholesale code. Other activities related to credit intermediation is a residual finance class: credit-related services that officers did not place in a more specific 522 code. The packet does not name those services. Award descriptions on the industry page are the place to see what USAspending stored.

The Census title can sound like a loan program. This hub is still a contract-industry aggregate. Loan guarantees, direct loans, and many credit-assistance instruments are assistance or other award types that often lack NAICS and therefore do not enter $7,461,276,229.27.

With n this small, one large action is a large share of the industry total. Readers should treat the $7.5 billion as sensitive to revisions of those 77 rows.

Finance NAICS codes are easy to misread as loan volume. Other activities related to credit intermediation (522390) is a residual finance-services tag at $7,461,276,229.27 on 77 awards, about $96.9 million per award. That concentration resembles contact centers (100 awards) more than wholesale catalogs. The figure is still a contract-industry total, not a sum of loans originated to the public.

Financial-service obligations versus cash

Contracts tagged 522390 can obligate fees, servicing amounts, or other credit-related professional work. Outlays follow invoices, not the full commitment, on open vehicles. Treating $7.5 billion as money already paid to borrowers would misread the table: this is not a loan-volume statistic in the packet facts.

The 77-award count is not a borrower count. One award can cover a servicing vehicle for many accounts. Dividing dollars by awards is not a loan size.

What sits outside this residual finance code

Banking, insurance, and securities NAICS codes, when present on other hubs, are not rolled into this total. Offices of certified public accountants (541211) is a professional-services code, not 522390. Those pages are separate.

Assistance listings that move credit to the public typically omit NAICS and do not enter this industry figure.

Offices of certified public accountants (541211) are a 541 professional-services tag. Residual credit intermediation is a 522 finance tag. Audit work tagged 541211 does not sit in this $7.5 billion. Loan guarantees and many credit-assistance instruments lack NAICS and also sit outside.

How to use the 522390 hub

Lead with concentration: 77 awards, $7.5 billion, about $96.9 million mean. Open the other activities related to credit intermediation industry page and read the 77 rows rather than inferring a loan program from the title. Rank finance NAICS on the all-industries index with award count visible.

This guide does not add interest rates, default rates, or borrower counts because they are not in the facts object.

Residual-code caveats

“Other activities related to” is a leftover label. It does not mean the work is minor. It means the officer did not choose a tighter 522 code. SpendingVault does not recode those choices.

Extract updates on a 77-award set will move $7,461,276,229.27 in large steps if any single vehicle revises.

How to keep loan volume out of the contract tag

If the question is “how much credit did the government extend,” this page is the wrong table. If the question is “how much did USAspending tag to NAICS 522390 on contracts,” the answer is $7.5 billion across 77 awards.
