NAICS 611699 all other miscellaneous schools and instruction obligations
Federal contracts tagged NAICS 611699, All Other Miscellaneous Schools and Instruction, show $1,378,485,062.17 in USAspending.gov obligations on SpendingVault. The extract covers 1,510 awards, a mean of about $913,000 per award.

Dollars are obligations, not outlays; assistance without NAICS is excluded.
Key figures
- NAICS 611699 residual instruction contracts show $1.4 billion obligated.
- 1,510 awards average about $913,000 in the USAspending extract.
- The code is residual schools and instruction, not colleges or Pell Grants.
- Figures are contract obligations, not outlays or students trained.
A residual instruction tag, not a university system
NAICS 611699 is all other miscellaneous schools and instruction. Contracting officers assign it when the principal purpose is instruction that the residual Census class covers — not colleges, not technical and trade schools if those more specific codes were used, and not flight training (611512) if that code was selected. This $1,378,485,062.17 is that residual tag. It is not a student-FTE census, not a Pell Grant total, and not a K–12 enrollment count.
One thousand five hundred ten awards produced a mean of about $913,000. Federal residual-instruction vehicles can be multi-year training contracts, which pulls the mean above a single short course. The packet does not count students, certificates, or classroom hours.
Educational support services (611710) support schools; they are not this residual instruction class. A support-services contract tagged 611710 does not sit in $1.4 billion under 611699.
Training vehicles and payment timing
Instruction contracts often obligate estimated tuition or course-delivery fees and pay as classes are delivered. Unused option years leave obligated balances unpaid. Treating $1.4 billion as training already completed would overstate cash.
The 1,510-award count is not a course count. USAspending may still group multiple task orders into awards. Dividing $1,378,485,062.17 by 1,510 awards is a mean obligation per award identifier, not a tuition per student.
What this total excludes
Assistance that funds state education agencies often lacks NAICS and does not enter $1,378,485,062.17. In-house government trainers are not 611699 contracts. Colleges, flight training, and other technical and trade schools are separate 611 hubs when tagged that way.
Professional and management development training is a more specific 611 class. Mixed curriculum-and-consulting vehicles follow the principal NAICS the officer selected. Short courses and multi-year residual instruction vehicles can share 611699 when that is the principal class. The $1,378,485,062.17 total does not count students across the 1,510 awards.
How to use the 611699 hub
Read $1.4 billion and 1,510 awards as the residual schools-and-instruction tag, then open the all other miscellaneous schools and instruction industry page for award-level fields. Rank 611 education codes on the all-industries index without converting this residual class into a university or Pell Grant total.
This guide does not add enrollment tables because they are not in the facts object. Professional and management development training tagged to its more specific 611 code is not this residual book. Quote obligations, not certificates issued, and keep Pell Grant totals out because student aid is not this contract tag.
Classification limits
Residual miscellaneous instruction is not colleges and not educational support services. SpendingVault reports the tagged 611699 sum.

Residual instruction versus colleges and Pell Grants
One thousand five hundred ten awards at $1,378,485,062.17 produce a mean of about $913,000. Residual miscellaneous schools and instruction is the Census leftover after more specific 611 codes — colleges, flight training, other technical and trade schools, professional development — are used. An officer who tagged a university contract or a flight school to those codes kept those dollars off this hub. The mean is not tuition per student. Educational support services (611710) support schools; they are not this instruction class.
Assistance that funds state education agencies often omits NAICS and stays outside $1,378,485,062.17. In-house government trainers are not 611699 contracts. Pell Grants and other student aid are not this contract tag. Open the all other miscellaneous schools and instruction industry page for award-level fields. Rank 611 education codes on the all-industries index without converting this residual class into a university system. Cite USAspending.gov. Unused course-year options mean obligated instruction dollars can exceed training already delivered. A searcher asking how much the federal government spent on training should still separate this residual instruction class from colleges and from student aid. The $1,378,485,062.17 figure answers the NAICS 611699 question only. The 1,510-award count answers how many award identifiers carried that tag, not how many students enrolled. Open the all other miscellaneous schools and instruction industry page, then compare other 611 education codes on the all-industries index. Keep the language to obligations recorded in USAspending.gov, and do not convert the mean of about $913,000 into tuition per student.
