NAICS 541620 environmental consulting services obligations

Ten thousand environmental-consulting awards

Ten thousand fifty-six awards against $6,518,506,661.30 produces a mean of about $648,221. That is a thicker book than many 541 consulting codes at similar dollars, closer to janitorial’s award count than to contact-center concentration. Environmental consulting, in the Census class, covers advice on environmental issues — assessments, studies, and related professional work as officers tag it.

Other scientific and technical consulting (541690) is the residual scientific-consulting bin. Environmental consulting has its own six-digit code. The $6.5 billion here is not a subset of 541690, and 541690 is not a subset of 541620.

The packet does not name Superfund sites, pollutants, or statutes. Award descriptions on the industry page are the place to see what USAspending stored.

Environmental consulting (541620) is a specific 541 code at $6,518,506,661.30 on 10,056 awards, about $648,221 per award. Residual scientific consulting (541690) is the leftover scientific-consulting bin. Logistics consulting (541614) is another specific neighbor. This $6.5 billion is environmental consulting tagged 541620, not a cleanup-construction total and not the 541690 leftover bin.

Study vehicles versus cash paid

Consulting contracts obligate estimated professional services and pay as labor is billed. Unused task-order capacity leaves obligated balances unpaid. Treating $6.5 billion as studies already finished would overstate cash on open vehicles.

The 10,056-award count is not a site count. Multiple locations can sit inside one vehicle. Dividing dollars by awards is not a cost per assessment.

Ten thousand fifty-six awards is a thick consulting book relative to many 541 codes. Thickness is an award-count fact, not a statement that environmental consulting is more important. Rank both dollars and counts on the all-industries index.

Consulting versus doing the cleanup

Remediation construction, waste-collection, and related operational NAICS codes measure doing the work. NAICS 541620 measures tagged environmental consulting. Those operational hubs are not inside $6,518,506,661.30.

Assistance that funds state environmental programs often lacks NAICS and does not enter this industry total.

How to use the 541620 hub

Read 10,056 awards and $6.5 billion as the environmental-consulting tag, then compare 541 consulting codes on the all-industries index. Open the environmental consulting services industry page for rows.

This guide does not add contaminant lists because they are not in the facts object.

Classification limits

Mixed study-and-cleanup contracts carry one principal NAICS. If that code is 541620, operational line items on the same action sit here. If the officer chose a remediation code, consulting line items on that action would not.

Extract updates will move $6,518,506,661.30 and 10,056 with USAspending.

How to keep remediation construction out of the study total

Doing cleanup — excavation, treatment, disposal — uses operational and construction NAICS codes when that is the principal purpose. NAICS 541620 measures tagged environmental consulting: assessments, studies, and related professional work as officers classified it. Mixed study-and-cleanup contracts follow one principal NAICS.

Open the environmental consulting services industry page for descriptions. Rank 541 consulting codes on the all-industries index. Cite USAspending.gov. No site list or contaminant list appears in the packet. Assistance without NAICS is excluded. Obligations remain distinct from outlays on unused task-order capacity.

Environmental consulting at $6,518,506,661.30 on 10,056 awards is a study-and-advice tag. The mean of about $648,221 is not a cost per site. Site lists and contaminant lists are not in the packet. Residual scientific consulting is a different leftover 541 class.

Cite USAspending.gov. Assistance that funds state environmental programs often lacks NAICS. Unused task-order capacity leaves obligated balances unpaid.

Ten thousand fifty-six environmental-consulting awards at $6,518,506,661.30 are study-and-advice contracts. Cleanup construction is a different NAICS family. Residual scientific consulting is a leftover 541 class, not this specific 541620 tag. Site names are not in the packet. Open the environmental consulting services industry page. Cite USAspending.gov. Unused task orders leave obligated balances unpaid.

The 10,056-award count next to $6,518,506,661.30 is environmental-consulting thickness. Rank 541620 among 541 codes without treating the tag as cleanup construction or as residual scientific consulting. Those two packet facts — 10,056 awards and $6.5 billion obligated — are the whole quantitative claim this guide is allowed to make.

Questions

How much is obligated under NAICS 541620?

Environmental consulting services contracts in USAspending show $6,518,506,661.30 in obligations across 10,056 awards. That is a consulting tag, not residual scientific consulting (541690) and not cleanup construction. The figure is obligations, not outlays. Assistance without NAICS is excluded. Open the industry page for award rows behind $6,518,506,661.30 and the count of 10,056.

What is the average environmental-consulting award?

Dividing $6,518,506,661.30 by 10,056 awards yields about $648,221. That mean mixes small assessments with large multi-year study vehicles. It is not a cost per site. The packet does not publish a median or a location count. Inspect award-level amounts rather than treating $648,221 as a cost per site; the packet has no location count.

Is this the same as NAICS 541690?

No. 541690 is other scientific and technical consulting, a residual class. 541620 is environmental consulting, a specific six-digit code. The $6.5 billion here does not include 541690 dollars. Use each industry page for its tagged total. Use the 541690 hub for residual scientific consulting and this hub for the environmental-consulting tag.

Do state environmental grants appear here?

Usually no. Assistance awards often omit NAICS and therefore do not enter $6.5 billion. This aggregate is built from contract awards tagged 541620. Program pages are the better surface for grant-funded environmental work. Program pages remain the better surface for grant-funded environmental work that never received NAICS 541620.
