Residual real-estate services at $715.2M
Federal agencies buy real-estate support that does not fit the named lessor or property-manager titles—appraisal-adjacent work, listing and transaction support, and other residual 531390 activities. Tagged obligations sum to $715.2M on 799 awards. The figure is not square footage and not a count of parcels.
Lessors of nonresidential buildings except miniwarehouses (531120) and residential property managers (531311) are named neighbors. $715.2M follows the 531390 residual. Packet facts are the dollar total and the 799 count. Address lists are not in the harvest.
799 awards and a high-ticket average
Seven hundred ninety-nine awards against $715.2M averages about $895,000 per action. That size fits multi-site real-estate vehicles better than a single appraisal invoice. Task orders still increment 799, so the count is not unique firms and not unique properties.
With fewer than 800 actions carrying $715.2M, concentration is likely. Amount sort on the industry hub shows whether a few large rows dominate. Treat the average as a divider, not a typical closing fee.
