Federal obligations in security systems services except locksmiths (NAICS 561621)

Alarms and systems, not guards or locksmiths

NAICS 561621 covers security systems services except locksmiths. Alarm installation, monitoring contracts, and related system work can land here when the award is tagged 561621. Guards (561612) and background checks (561611) are other 5616 lines. The $3,530,979,800.46 total is the systems-except-locksmiths tag, not “all security contracting.”

A courthouse guard tagged 561612 will not raise this systems row. An alarm vehicle tagged 561621 will. SpendingVault reports the USAspending award tag, not an alarm-license roster and not an FEC employer string such as “security.”

6,582 awards on a $3.53 billion obligation stock

Six thousand five hundred eighty-two awards produced $3,530,979,800.46 in obligations. That action count is moderate. Monitoring task orders and larger system installs can share the tag. The packet does not split those types. The table shows tagged dollars and the 6,582-award count.

Obligations move with new awards, options, and modifications, including deobligations. Outlays are payments and are not this $3,530,979,800.46 rollup. A multi-year vehicle can show a large commitment while invoices follow performance. The industry page does not convert obligations into a cash calendar.

How USAspending attaches this NAICS

USAspending.gov stores NAICS on contract actions. homeland-security grants and many justice-assistance awards often have no NAICS field. Those dollars will not add to the 6,582 awards. Open program pages for grant-funded activity in this industry.

The label is a Census NAICS classification. It is not a locksmith-license census and not campaign-finance text. Cite USAspending.gov via SpendingVault for $3,530,979,800.46 and the 6,582-award count.

What the 561621 table is and is not

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 alarm failed, that a facility was breached, or that a small business was excluded. SpendingVault does not score outcomes from the dollar total.

Use award IDs, not the $3,530,979,800.46 headline, to separate two companies. Subcontractors may be missing if the prime coded 561621. UEI and name changes are ordinary in the file.

Neighboring 5616 security codes

Investigation and background checks (561611) and security guards (561612) are separate pages. Adding them to $3,530,979,800.46 would mix vetting and patrol with alarm systems. That recode is not this page.

Assistance without NAICS remains outside the 6,582-award count. For a recipient that also holds grants, open the recipient record. This guide stays on contract NAICS 561621 from USAspending.gov. Keep obligations distinct from outlays.

Systems versus guards and background checks

A guard contract tagged 561612 will not raise the 6,582-award count. A systems vehicle tagged 561621 sits in $3,530,979,800.46 even if the same prime also holds a 561611 investigation vehicle. SpendingVault does not merge those rows.

Searchers who want “all federal security” must add guards, investigations, and public-admin 922190 and will still miss assistance. This page does not perform that recode. Cite contract NAICS 561621 only. Do not treat the row as an FEC occupation called guard. The $3,530,979,800.46 figure remains an obligation stock on USAspending.gov. Modifications that cut monitoring will lower the running total without publishing a breach statistic on this hub. Open award rows for system-type descriptions. Neighboring 5616 lines stay on their own pages unless those awards were tagged 561621.

An alarm install tagged 561621 still sits in $3,530,979,800.46; a guard post tagged 561612 does not. The 6,582 awards remain an action count, not a license census. Keep 561611 background checks on their own page. Cite USAspending.gov contract NAICS 561621 only. The headline is still obligations, not outlays. Locksmith work is excluded from this Census title unless an award was still tagged 561621. Do not add 561612 or 561611 into $3,530,979,800.46 without documenting a recode. The 6,582 awards stay an action file, not an alarm-license roster. Open award rows for CLIN-level descriptions the NAICS hub does not publish. Neighboring codes stay on their own SpendingVault industry pages unless those awards were tagged 561621. Keep obligations distinct from outlays on this rollup. Assistance awards without NAICS remain outside the contract tag. The packet reports only this NAICS tag from USAspending.gov contract actions, not outlays and not assistance without a NAICS field. Do not treat this industry total as an FEC employer string or as a cash-outlay extract from Treasury.

Questions

How much has the federal government obligated under NAICS 561621?

USAspending.gov contract aggregates on SpendingVault show $3,530,979,800.46 in obligations across 6,582 awards tagged security systems services (except locksmiths). The number is obligations, not outlays. Assistance awards without NAICS are omitted. It is not an FEC employer string and not a combined total of neighboring NAICS codes.

Does this include security guards?

Guard and patrol services are NAICS 561612. Those awards will not add to the $3,530,979,800.46 total unless tagged 561621. The 6,582 awards are the security-systems-except-locksmiths contract tag from USAspending.gov via SpendingVault. Adding 561612 is a recode you must document on this page.

Does this include locksmiths?

Census excludes locksmiths from the 561621 title. A locksmith-coded award will not add to the $3,530,979,800.46 total unless tagged 561621 anyway. The 6,582 awards are the systems contract tag. Open other 5616 pages for guards and investigations, not this systems rollup from USAspending.gov.

Are these figures outlays or obligations?

They are obligations: legally binding commitments on contract actions. Outlays are payments and are not this $3,530,979,800.46 rollup. Modifications can change obligations without a same-day payment. SpendingVault cites USAspending.gov contract NAICS for the 6,582 awards, not a Treasury cash extract.
