Federal obligations in building inspection services (NAICS 541350)

Inspection services, not construction, at $793.3M

Federal facility managers hire independent inspectors for occupancy, safety, and condition assessments. USAspending tags $793.3M of contract obligations to NAICS 541350 on 1,446 awards. The total is not a count of buildings inspected and not a punch-list of deficiencies.

Site preparation contractors (238910) move earth. Lessors of nonresidential buildings (531120) rent space. Surveying and mapping (541370) is a different professional service. $793.3M follows the 541350 inspection tag. Packet facts are the dollar total and the 1,446 count.

1,446 awards and a professional-services average

One thousand four hundred forty-six awards against $793.3M averages about $549,000 per action. That size fits multi-site inspection programs and IDIQ tasking better than a single walk-through. Task orders still increment 1,446, so the count is not unique firms and not unique buildings.

Large nationwide inspection vehicles can dominate $793.3M even when 1,446 rows appear. Amount sort on the industry hub shows that concentration. The simple average is a divider, not a typical single-building invoice.

Readers comparing inspection totals to construction totals should keep the professional-services fence. $793.3M is not earthwork and not occupancy rent. The 1,446-award file answers only the 541350 tag. Modifications posted after the harvest can move live hub tables without changing the packet pair used here.

Occupancy leases belong in 531120. The overlay does not re-cut those fences. USAspending.gov is the source; live tables can move after modifications while the harvested pair stays $793.3M and 1,446.

Inspection files versus repair and occupancy files

An inspection report can precede a repair contract, a lease, or a demolition. Those later actions belong in other NAICS codes. $793.3M on 1,446 awards is the 541350 professional inspection tag only. The about $549,000 average fits multi-site programs; it is not a single walk-through fee and not a count of buildings.

IDIQ inspection vehicles generate task orders that increment 1,446 without incrementing unique firms. Amount sort on the building inspection services industry page shows concentration inside $793.3M. Site preparation (238910), nonresidential lessors (531120), and public-health administration (923120) stay on their own hubs.
