Federal obligations in other commercial and industrial machinery and equipment rental and leasing (NAICS 532490)

Renting machines rather than buying them, at $608.8M

Federal sites lease commercial and industrial machinery when purchase is not the vehicle. USAspending tags $608.8M of contract obligations to NAICS 532490 on 3,634 awards. The total is not a count of machines on rent and not a count of rental days.

Machine tool manufacturing (333517) and all other industrial machinery manufacturing (333248) are factory codes. $608.8M follows the 532490 rental-and-leasing tag. Packet facts are the dollar total and the 3,634 count. Fleet lists are not in the harvest.

3,634 awards and a rental-vehicle average

Three thousand six hundred thirty-four awards against $608.8M averages about $168,000 per action. That size fits multi-month rental vehicles better than a weekend equipment ticket. Task orders still increment 3,634, so the count is not unique lessors and not unique machines.

Amount sort on the industry hub shows whether a few large rental IDIQs dominate $608.8M or whether short-term tickets thicken the 3,634 count. Treat $168,000 as a divider, not a typical daily rate.

Short-term rentals and multi-year leases share 532490. That mix is why 3,634 awards under $608.8M should be amount-sorted before anyone treats $168,000 as a rate. Manufacturing neighbors 333517 and 333248 answer purchase questions. Rental-day counts are not in the facts.

Rental NAICS versus manufacturing NAICS

532490 rents and leases commercial and industrial machinery. 333517 makes machine tools. 333248 makes residual industrial machinery. Dual-role vendors that both manufacture and lease can be tagged either way. $608.8M stays with 532490 on 3,634 tagged actions.

Cite this industry as $608.8M in USAspending contract obligations tagged to NAICS 532490, other commercial and industrial machinery and equipment rental and leasing, on 3,634 awards. The packet has no fiscal year. Live tables can move; the harvested pair remains $608.8M and 3,634.

Lease obligations versus rental invoices paid

Rental contracts often obligate a period and pay on billed use. $608.8M is committed value on 3,634 tagged actions, not cash already paid for every rental day. Early returns de-obligate. Outlays track payments separately.

Keep $608.8M attached to 532490 as tagged. This overlay does not merge machine-tool or residual-machinery manufacturing dollars into the rental cell. Read descriptions on the 3,634 rows where the hub allows.
