Federal obligations in electronic and precision equipment repair and maintenance (NAICS 811210)
Federal contract obligations tagged NAICS 811210 — electronic and precision equipment repair and maintenance — total $3,410,563,545.39 across 13,294 awards, according to USAspending.gov aggregates on SpendingVault. Census places this repair code on shops that fix electronic and precision equipment, not manufacturers of those devices (3345) and not commercial-industrial machinery repair (811310). The figure is obligations, not outlays. Assistance awards often omit NAICS and do not add to this total.
Key figures
- NAICS 811210 contract obligations total $3,410,563,545.39 on USAspending.gov.
- The rollup covers 13,294 awards and is not cash outlays.
- 811210 is electronic/precision repair, not new-instrument manufacturing.
- Assistance awards without NAICS are omitted from this total.
Repair shops, not instrument manufacturing
NAICS 811210 covers repair and maintenance of electronic and precision equipment. Depot repair, calibration-adjacent maintenance, and related shop work can land here when the award is tagged 811210. Manufacturing of analytical instruments (334516) or residual measuring devices (334519) sits on 3345. The $3,410,563,545.39 total is the repair tag, not new-equipment manufacturing.
A new spectrometer tagged 334516 will not raise this repair row. A depot-repair vehicle tagged 811210 will. SpendingVault reports the USAspending award tag, not a calibration-lab census and not an FEC employer string such as “technician.”
13,294 awards on a $3.41 billion obligation stock
Thirteen thousand two hundred ninety-four awards produced $3,410,563,545.39 in obligations. That action count is thick: work orders can stack. The packet does not split depot-level overhauls from small board swaps. The table shows tagged dollars and the 13,294-award count.
Obligations move with new awards, options, and modifications, including deobligations. Outlays are payments and are not this $3,410,563,545.39 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. equipment-modernization grants and many lab-support assistance awards often have no NAICS field. Those dollars will not add to the 13,294 awards. Open program pages for grant-funded activity in this industry.
The label is a Census NAICS classification. It is not a technician-license census and not campaign-finance text. Cite USAspending.gov via SpendingVault for $3,410,563,545.39 and the 13,294-award count.
What the 811210 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 a board failed, that a depot missed a turnaround, or that a small business was excluded. SpendingVault does not score outcomes from the dollar total.
Use award IDs, not the $3,410,563,545.39 headline, to separate two companies. Subcontractors may be missing if the prime coded 811210. UEI and name changes are ordinary in the file.
Neighboring 8112 and 3345 codes
Communication equipment repair (811213) and industrial machinery repair (811310) are separate pages. Adding them to $3,410,563,545.39 would mix other repair classes with electronic/precision repair. Manufacturing 3345 lines are also separate. That recode is not this page.
Assistance without NAICS remains outside the 13,294-award count. For a recipient that also holds grants, open the recipient record. This guide stays on contract NAICS 811210 from USAspending.gov. Keep obligations distinct from outlays.
Repair versus buying new instruments
A new-instrument award tagged 334516 will not raise the 13,294-award count. A repair vehicle tagged 811210 sits in $3,410,563,545.39 even if the same prime also sells new gear under 334519. SpendingVault does not merge those rows.
Searchers who want “all federal electronics” must add manufacturing and communications-repair codes and will still miss grants. This page does not perform that recode. Cite contract NAICS 811210 only. Do not treat the row as an FEC occupation called technician. The $3,410,563,545.39 figure remains an obligation stock on USAspending.gov. Modifications that cut a work order will lower the running total without publishing a mean-time-to-repair statistic on this hub. Open award rows for equipment-class descriptions. Neighboring 8112 lines stay on their own pages unless those awards were tagged 811210.
A depot repair tagged 811210 still sits in $3,410,563,545.39; a new gauge tagged 334519 does not. The 13,294 awards remain an action count, not a shop census. Keep 811213 communications repair on its own page. Cite USAspending.gov contract NAICS 811210 only. The headline is still obligations, not outlays. New-equipment manufacturing stays on 3345 pages unless the award itself carries 811210. Do not add 334516 or 811213 into $3,410,563,545.39 without documenting a recode. The 13,294 awards stay an action file, not a depot 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 811210. 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.

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 buying new laboratory instruments?
- New analytical instruments are typically NAICS 334516 manufacturing. Those awards will not add to the $3,410,563,545.39 total unless tagged 811210. The 13,294 awards are the electronic and precision equipment repair contract tag from USAspending.gov via SpendingVault. Adding 334516 is a recode you must document on this page.
- Does this include communication equipment repair?
- Communication equipment repair and maintenance is NAICS 811213. Those awards will not add to the $3,410,563,545.39 total unless tagged 811210.
