Comms repair, not general electronics repair 811210
NAICS 811213 covers communication equipment repair and maintenance. Radio, microwave, and related depot work can land here when the award is tagged 811213. Broader electronic and precision equipment repair sits on 811210. The $3,296,805,909.95 total is the communications-repair tag, not all electronics repair.
A general electronics-repair vehicle tagged 811210 will not raise this communications row. A radio-depot vehicle tagged 811213 will. SpendingVault reports the USAspending award tag, not an FCC license roster and not an FEC employer string such as “radio.”
877 awards: thinner than sibling 811210
Eight hundred seventy-seven awards produced $3,296,805,909.95 in obligations. That is a thinner action count than 811210’s 13,294 awards in this batch. Large comms-depot vehicles can dominate; the packet does not name them. The table shows tagged dollars and the 877-award count.
Obligations move with new awards, options, and modifications, including deobligations. Outlays are payments and are not this $3,296,805,909.95 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. public-safety radio grants and many interoperability assistance awards often have no NAICS field. Those dollars will not add to the 877 awards. Open program pages for grant-funded activity in this industry.
The label is a Census NAICS classification. It is not an FCC license census and not campaign-finance text. Cite USAspending.gov via SpendingVault for $3,296,805,909.95 and the 877-award count.
What the 811213 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 radio failed, that a network dropped, or that a small business was excluded. SpendingVault does not score outcomes from the dollar total.
Use award IDs, not the $3,296,805,909.95 headline, to separate two companies. Subcontractors may be missing if the prime coded 811213. UEI and name changes are ordinary in the file.
Neighboring 8112 repair codes
Electronic and precision equipment repair (811210) and industrial machinery repair (811310) are separate pages. Adding them to $3,296,805,909.95 would mix other repair classes with communications repair. That recode is not this page.
Assistance without NAICS remains outside the 877-award count. For a recipient that also holds grants, open the recipient record. This guide stays on contract NAICS 811213 from USAspending.gov. Keep obligations distinct from outlays.
Comms depots versus general electronics repair
A general electronics-repair award tagged 811210 will not raise the 877-award count. A comms-repair vehicle tagged 811213 sits in $3,296,805,909.95 even if the same prime also holds an 811210 shop. SpendingVault does not merge those rows.
Searchers who want “all federal electronics repair” must add 811210 and 811310 and will still miss grants. This page does not perform that recode. Cite contract NAICS 811213 only. Do not treat the row as an FEC occupation called radio tech. The $3,296,805,909.95 figure remains an obligation stock on USAspending.gov. Modifications that cut a depot line will lower the running total without publishing an availability statistic on this hub. Open award rows for equipment-class descriptions. Neighboring 8112 lines stay on their own pages unless those awards were tagged 811213.
A radio depot tagged 811213 still sits in $3,296,805,909.95; a general electronics shop tagged 811210 does not. The 877 awards remain an action count, not a shop census. Keep 811310 industrial machinery repair on its own page. Cite USAspending.gov contract NAICS 811213 only. The headline is still obligations, not outlays. New radio manufacturing stays on 3342 pages unless the award itself carries 811213. Do not add 811210 or 811310 into $3,296,805,909.95 without documenting a recode. The 877 awards stay an action file, not a radio 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 811213. 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.

- USAspending.gov contract aggregates on SpendingVault show $3,296,805,909.95 in obligations across 877 awards tagged communication equipment repair and maintenance.

- Electronic and precision equipment repair is NAICS 811210. Those awards will not add to the $3,296,805,909.95 total unless tagged 811213. The 877 awards are the communication-equipment repair contract tag from USAspending.gov via SpendingVault. Adding 811210 is a recode you must document on this page.
- Why are there only 877 awards versus 811210?
- The packet reports 877 awards and $3,296,805,909.95 for 811213, a thinner action file than sibling 811210. Communications-repair vehicles can be fewer and larger. The file does not split unique vendors. Outlays remain a different USAspending field on both codes on SpendingVault.
- Are these figures outlays or obligations?

Modifications can change obligations without a same-day payment. SpendingVault cites USAspending.gov contract NAICS for the 877 awards, not a Treasury cash extract.
