NAICS 611519 other technical and trade schools obligations

Trade-school contracts, not a student-aid ledger

NAICS 611519 lives in the educational-services group. Contracting officers assign it when the principal purpose is instruction at other technical and trade schools. Pell Grants, GI Bill housing payments, and many other assistance instruments are not this contract tag. The $8,535,759,221.35 on this hub is USAspending contract awards coded 611519, not a census of federal education spending.

One thousand two hundred eighty-four awards produced a mean of about $6.6 million. That size can reflect training vehicles, multi-year school contracts, or specialized technical instruction. The packet does not count students, graduates, or clock hours. Those operational measures are outside the industry aggregate.

“Other” marks a residual class. Flight schools, beauty schools, or other specific trade-school codes, when used, sit on other NAICS pages and are not inside this $8.5 billion.

Education NAICS codes split residual trade schools from short-course management training. Other technical and trade schools (611519) hold $8,535,759,221.35 on 1,284 awards. Professional and management development training (611430) is a different 611 class with its own hub. Different Census classes, different award-count patterns, different pages.

Obligation timing on training vehicles

Training contracts often obligate estimated instruction and then pay per class or per student actually trained. Outlays can trail the $8.5 billion on open vehicles. Treating the headline as tuition already paid would overstate cash.

The 1,284-award count is not a class count. Multiple cohorts can sit inside one award. Dividing dollars by awards is not a tuition rate.

Nearby education and training codes

Professional and management development training (611430) is a different 611 code with its own hub. Colleges and universities, when tagged, use other educational NAICS. Those totals are not subsets of $8,535,759,221.35.

Assistance listings that pay schools directly as grants often lack NAICS and do not enter this industry figure even when the school is a technical or trade institution.

Student-aid instruments such as Pell Grants and many GI Bill payments are assistance and typically lack NAICS 611519. This $8.5 billion is not a Department of Education budget and not an enrollment census. It is tagged contract awards for other technical and trade schools.

How to use the 611519 hub

Read $8.5 billion and 1,284 awards as contract-school tagging, then open the other technical and trade schools industry page for award descriptions. Rank 611 codes on the all-industries index without converting them into a Department of Education budget.

This guide does not add enrollment because enrollment is not in the facts object.

What the residual school code cannot answer

The aggregate cannot say which trades were taught, whether training was military or civilian, or how many students completed. It can say that USAspending attributes $8,535,759,221.35 in contract obligations to NAICS 611519 on 1,284 awards.

Extract updates will move both figures. Assistance without NAICS remains outside.

How to keep student aid out of the school-contract total

If the question is “how much did the government spend on trade education,” this page is incomplete by design. It omits untagged assistance. If the question is “how much did USAspending tag to NAICS 611519 on contracts,” the answer is $8.5 billion across 1,284 awards.

Open the other technical and trade schools industry page for award descriptions. Rank 611 codes on the all-industries index without converting them into a student-aid account. Cite USAspending.gov. Obligations remain distinct from outlays on open training vehicles. No student count appears in the packet.

Residual trade-school contracts at $8,535,759,221.35 on 1,284 awards are not a student-aid ledger. The mean of about $6.6 million is not tuition per student. Enrollment and clock hours are not in the packet facts.

Short-course management-development training is a different 611 class. Pell Grants and many GI Bill payments typically lack this NAICS. Open the other technical and trade schools industry page for descriptions. Cite USAspending.gov. Obligations remain distinct from outlays on open training vehicles. This hub is tagged school contracts only.

Treat $8,535,759,221.35 as school-contract tagging, not as a workforce-education budget. One thousand two hundred eighty-four awards produced that sum. Short-course management training lives on a different 611 hub. Student-aid assistance typically omits NAICS and never enters this total. The industry page holds award descriptions; this packet does not hold enrollment.

Questions

How much is obligated under NAICS 611519?

Other technical and trade schools contracts in USAspending show $8,535,759,221.35 in obligations across 1,284 awards. That is a contract-industry tag, not a student-aid account. The figure is obligations, not outlays. Assistance awards without NAICS are excluded. Award rows are on the industry page.

Does this include Pell Grants or GI Bill payments?

Not by default. Those instruments are typically assistance, and assistance often lacks NAICS. This $8.5 billion is built from contract awards tagged 611519. Program pages are the better surface for assistance listings that pay students or schools without a NAICS code.

What is the average 611519 award?

Dividing $8,535,759,221.35 by 1,284 awards yields about $6.6 million. That mean is not tuition per student. Training vehicles and smaller class contracts share the average. The packet does not publish enrollment, a median, or a clock-hour total. The industry page lists award-level amounts; this packet has no enrollment field to convert $6.6 million into tuition per student.

How is this different from management development training?

Professional and management development training is NAICS 611430, a separate six-digit code and a separate SpendingVault hub. NAICS 611519 is other technical and trade schools. The two totals are not interchangeable. Use each industry page for its tagged obligations. Use the 611430 hub for short-course management-development training and this hub for the residual trade-school tag.
