Federal obligations in office administrative services (NAICS 561110)

Office management for others, not a temp-pool NAICS

NAICS 561110 covers establishments that provide office administrative services on a contract or fee basis. Mailroom management, records administration, and related office-running work can land here when the award is tagged that way. Temporary help (561320), facilities support (561210), and HR consulting (541612) sit on other codes. The $4,353,818,367.29 total is the office-admin tag, not “all back-office contracting.”

A vendor whose SAM primary NAICS is 561210 can still appear under 561110 on a single task order. SpendingVault reports the USAspending award tag, not the firm’s full registration. The code is not an FEC employer string such as “administrative” and not an OPM clerical headcount.

2,602 awards on a $4.35 billion obligation stock

Two thousand six hundred two awards produced $4,353,818,367.29 in obligations. That action count is similar in scale to the HR-consulting row in this batch and far thinner than wholesale files with hundreds of thousands of delivery orders. Multi-year office-management vehicles can sit beside smaller records-support orders. The packet does not split those types.

Obligations move with new awards, options, and modifications, including deobligations. Outlays are payments for services performed and are not this $4,353,818,367.29 rollup. A vehicle can show a large commitment while invoices follow monthly performance. The industry page does not convert obligations into an FTE calendar.

Contract NAICS versus administrative grants

USAspending.gov stores NAICS on contract actions. Capacity-building grants and many intergovernmental administrative awards are assistance and often have no NAICS field. Those dollars will not add to the 2,602 awards. Open program pages for grant-funded administrative support.

The label is a Census administrative-and-support classification. It is not a GSA schedule name by itself and not campaign-finance text. Cite USAspending.gov via SpendingVault for $4,353,818,367.29 and the 2,602-award count.

Reading the 561110 table

The hub lists recipients and awards that share this NAICS tag. A large obligation is a disclosed commitment. It is not a finding that an office was mismanaged, that records were lost, or that a small business was excluded. SpendingVault does not score performance from the dollar total.

Use award IDs, not the $4,353,818,367.29 headline, to separate two companies. Subcontracted mail or records shops may be missing if the prime coded office administrative services. UEI and name changes are ordinary in the file.

Neighboring 5611 and 5612 codes

Facilities support services (561210) and temporary help (561320) are separate pages. Adding them to $4,353,818,367.29 would mix base operations and temp supply with office management. That recode is not this page.

Assistance without NAICS remains outside the 2,602-award count. For a firm that holds both office-admin contracts and grants, open the recipient record. This guide stays on contract NAICS 561110 from USAspending.gov. Keep obligations distinct from outlays.

Office admin versus facilities support tagging

Contracting officers sometimes tag whole-site operations as 561210 facilities support and sometimes tag a headquarters mail-and-records bundle as 561110. Those choices move dollars between industry pages without changing the work on the ground. An award tagged 561210 will not raise the 2,602-award count. An award tagged 561110 sits in $4,353,818,367.29 even if the same prime also holds a facilities vehicle.

Searchers who want “all administrative contractors” must add several 561 codes and will still miss professional-services tags and assistance. This page does not perform that recode. Cite contract NAICS 561110 only. Do not treat the row as an FEC occupation called administrator. The $4,353,818,367.29 figure remains an obligation stock on USAspending.gov. Modifications that cut a records contract will lower the running total without publishing a backlog statistic on this hub. Open award rows for CLIN-level descriptions. Neighboring 5613 employment-services lines stay on their own pages unless those awards were tagged 561110. Mailroom work tagged 561110 still sits in $4,353,818,367.29; a whole-base facilities vehicle tagged 561210 does not. The 2,602 awards remain an action count, not a count of federal offices. Keep obligations distinct from outlays. Cite USAspending.gov contract NAICS 561110 only. Do not fold temp-help 561320 into this office-admin total without documenting a recode. Records-management tagged 561110 remains inside this rollup; computer-facilities tagged 541513 does not. The $4,353,818,367.29 headline is still obligations, not outlays.

Questions

How much has the federal government obligated under NAICS 561110?

USAspending.gov contract aggregates on SpendingVault show $4,353,818,367.29 in obligations across 2,602 awards tagged office administrative services. The number is obligations, not outlays. Assistance awards without NAICS are omitted. It is not temporary help, not facilities support, and not an FEC “administrative” string.

Is this the same as facilities support NAICS 561210?

No. Census keeps facilities support on 561210. NAICS 561110 is office administrative services. An award tagged 561210 will not add to the $4,353,818,367.29 total. The 2,602 awards are the 561110 contract tag from USAspending.gov via SpendingVault. Adding the two codes is a recode you must document.

Does this include temporary staff?

Temporary help is NAICS 561320. Those awards will not add to the $4,353,818,367.29 total unless tagged 561110. The 2,602 awards are the office-administrative contract tag. A staffing surge coded as temp help belongs on the 561320 industry page, not this rollup.

Are these figures cash outlays?

No. They are obligations: legally binding commitments on contract actions. Outlays are payments for services performed and are not this $4,353,818,367.29 rollup. A multi-year office-management vehicle can obligate a large amount while invoices follow monthly performance. SpendingVault cites USAspending.gov contract NAICS for the 2,602 awards.
