Federal obligations in residential property managers (NAICS 531311)

Residential management contracts at $1.00 billion

Federal agencies that own or control residential housing—military family housing, other government housing inventories, and related residential assets—contract with firms classified as residential property managers. Tagged obligations sum to $1,003,038,007.34. That is not a count of units managed and not a rent roll. Unit counts are not in the packet facts.

Property-management contracts typically cover operations, tenant services, and related residential management work as defined in the award. Construction of new housing is a different NAICS (residential remodelers appear separately in this slice). Keep management and construction in different columns.

1,565 awards and a services-scale average

One thousand five hundred sixty-five awards against $1,003,038,007.34 averages about $641,000 per action. That is consistent with installation- or community-level management vehicles rather than tens of thousands of small supply orders. Option years and task orders still add rows. The industry hub shows whether a few large housing contracts dominate the $1,003,038,007.34.

This guide does not name installations or companies. Packet facts are the dollar total and the 1,565 count. Neutral presentation: tagged contract obligations, not a quality ranking of housing.

Residential managers versus hotels and remodelers

Hotels and motels are NAICS 721110, also in this slice. Residential remodelers are 236118. Commercial property managers are a different 5313 code. 531311 is residential property managers. A contract to operate a lodging facility should not land here; a contract to manage government residential housing should. The $1,003,038,007.34 follows the 531311 tag on 1,565 actions.

Assistance awards may not carry NAICS. HUD or USDA housing assistance to nonfederal entities will usually miss this contract rollup even when the dollars are large. Program pages cover those streams.

A complete citation of this industry is $1,003,038,007.34 in USAspending contract obligations tagged to NAICS 531311, residential property managers, on 1,565 awards. Anything less—dropping the NAICS, dropping the word obligations, or dropping the contract-only universe—overstates what the extract contains. The packet facts do not include a fiscal year, so this guide does not invent one. Live tables on the industry hub can move when USAspending posts modifications; the harvested pair remains $1,003,038,007.34 and 1,565.

Obligations on multi-year housing vehicles

Housing management contracts often obligate a base period plus options. The $1,003,038,007.34 is committed value on tagged actions, which can include those options when they are recorded as obligations in USAspending. Outlays follow monthly management invoices and can differ after performance deductions. Keep the two fields separate.

Classification errors are expected at the margin. Vendors that straddle hotels, residential remodelers, and commercial property managers may land in 531311 on some actions and in a neighbor on others. Hotels and motels (721110) are traveler lodging; remodelers (236118) alter buildings. The public-record stance is to keep $1,003,038,007.34 attached to 531311 as tagged, then look across the 1,565 rows for large housing-operations vehicles versus smaller task orders. Re-tagging the extract by hand is out of scope for this overlay.

Where the award list lives

Open the residential property managers industry page for the 1,565 awards behind $1,003,038,007.34. Use the all-industries directory for hotels and remodelers without merging their dollars into this management total. Source: USAspending.gov contract awards.

Management tags are not lodging or remodeling totals

Award count interprets the buying pattern. 1,565 actions producing $1,003,038,007.34 is installation- or community-level housing-management vehicles, with about $641,000 per action as the simple average. That average hides mix: modifications, options, and delivery orders all increment count. 1,565 is not a count of unique companies and not a count of physical units. Use the hub amount sort to see whether a few large rows plus a long tail make up most of the tagged total.

Outlays remain a separate USAspending concept. An agency can obligate $1,003,038,007.34 across 1,565 tagged residential property managers actions and pay on a different calendar. De-obligations after cancellations reduce the obligation ledger; they do not rewrite the fact that this NAICS has been a large tagged category in the harvest. Assistance without NAICS still sits outside even when the real-world activity looks similar. Program pages answer the grant question; this page answers the tagged-contract question.

Internal links on this file point only to the residential property managers industry page and the all-industries directory. Those are the packet hrefs. Neighboring industry codes mentioned in prose are classification context only. Source note, copied from the packet: NAICS from USAspending contract awards. Assistance awards may not carry NAICS. The overlay’s job is to state $1,003,038,007.34, 1,565, the obligation unit, and the boundary around hotels, residential remodelers, and commercial property managers.

Questions

How much federal contract spending is coded to residential property managers?

NAICS 531311 shows $1,003,038,007.34 in obligations on 1,565 USAspending contract awards. That is residential property management as tagged, not hotel operations and not housing construction. The unit is obligations, not outlays. Quote it as USAspending contract obligations tagged to NAICS 531311, not as cash outlays. Assistance awards may not carry NAICS, so grants remain outside the 1,565-award extract behind $1,003,038,007.34.

Does this include military family housing?

It includes whatever contract actions were tagged 531311. This guide does not split the $1,003,038,007.34 by housing type because that split is not in the packet facts. Award descriptions on the industry hub are the place to inspect individual vehicles.

Is NAICS 531311 the same as hotels?

No. Hotels and motels are 721110. This page’s $1,003,038,007.34 is residential property managers on 1,565 tagged awards. Open the hotel code separately from the all-industries list. That pattern is installation- or community-level housing-management vehicles, with about $641,000 per action as the simple average of $1,003,038,007.34 over 1,565 awards. Look across the 1,565 rows for large housing-operations vehicles versus smaller task orders.

Are HUD grants in this $1.00 billion?

Usually not. Assistance awards may not carry NAICS, so they fall outside this contract extract. Use program pages for housing assistance and the industry page for tagged management contracts. This industry guide covers tagged contracts only: $1,003,038,007.34 obligated on 1,565 residential property managers awards in USAspending. Outlays are a different field; assistance without NAICS is a different award type.
