NAICS 811219 electronic and precision equipment repair obligations

Repair as a distinct industry tag

NAICS 811219 sits in the repair-and-maintenance group, not in manufacturing. Contracting officers use it when the principal purpose is repairing or maintaining electronic and precision equipment that did not fit a more specific repair code. Buying a new instrument would more often use a manufacturing or wholesale NAICS. The $9,403,227,542.13 on this hub is the repair tag.

Seven thousand four hundred sixty-one awards produced a mean of about $1.3 million. Depot-level repair vehicles can be large; individual bench-repair orders can be small. The average mixes those structures. The packet does not count instruments serviced or hours billed.

“Other” in the title signals a residual repair class. Specific repair codes for computers or communications gear, if used, live on other hubs and are not inside this $9.4 billion.

Repair NAICS codes sit in the 811 group, not in manufacturing. Other electronic and precision equipment repair and maintenance (811219) is the residual repair class at $9,403,227,542.13 on 7,461 awards. Optical instrument manufacturing (333314), computer manufacturing (334111), and communications equipment manufacturing (334290) measure new goods. This $9.4 billion is upkeep tagged 811219.

How repair obligations differ from hardware buys

A repair contract can obligate funds for a period of performance while outlays follow actual maintenance events. An unused option year can leave obligated balances unpaid. Treating $9.4 billion as already-spent repair invoices would confuse commitment with payment.

The 7,461-award count is not a work-order count. Multiple repairs can sit inside one award. Dividing dollars by awards is not a cost per repair event.

Manufacturing neighbors are separate pages

Optical instrument manufacturing, communications equipment manufacturing, and computer manufacturing measure new production. Those NAICS totals are not repair dollars. A reader summing “federal electronics” from manufacturing plus 811219 would mix new buys with upkeep the source keeps in different codes.

Grants that fund equipment maintenance at non-federal labs often lack NAICS and do not enter $9,403,227,542.13.

A contract that both repairs and replaces equipment will carry one principal NAICS. If that code is 811219, replacement line items on the same action sit in this total. If the officer chose a manufacturing code, repair line items on that action would not. SpendingVault does not split mixed actions.

Using the 811219 table

Rank repair-and-maintenance codes on the all-industries index separately from manufacturing codes. Open the other electronic and precision equipment repair industry page for award-level fields. Packet facts remain $9.4 billion and 7,461 awards.

Do not treat the residual title as a complete map of federal electronics maintenance. Only tagged 811219 actions are in the sum.

Classification caveats

A contract that both repairs and replaces equipment will carry one principal NAICS. If that code is 811219, replacement line items on the same action sit in this total. If the officer chose a manufacturing code, repair line items on that action would not appear here.

Extract updates will move $9,403,227,542.13 and 7,461 with USAspending.

How to keep new buys out of the repair total

Searchers looking for “federal electronics spending” often want new equipment. This page will not give them that number. It gives the tagged repair-and-maintenance total: $9.4 billion across 7,461 awards, about $1.3 million per award.

Open the other electronic and precision equipment repair industry page for descriptions. Rank 811 codes separately from 334 manufacturing codes on the all-industries index. Cite USAspending.gov. Assistance without NAICS is excluded. Obligations remain distinct from outlays on open depot vehicles.

Precision-equipment repair at $9,403,227,542.13 on 7,461 awards is an 811 services tag, not a 334 manufacturing tag. The mean of about $1.3 million mixes depot vehicles with smaller bench-repair orders. It is not a cost per work order.

New computers, new optics, and new communications gear live on manufacturing hubs. This page stays on NAICS 811219. Open the industry table for descriptions. Cite USAspending.gov. Assistance without NAICS stays outside. A mixed repair-and-replace contract follows one principal NAICS.

Repair is the verb this NAICS records. Seven thousand four hundred sixty-one awards and $9,403,227,542.13 are upkeep tagged 811219, not new production tagged to a 334 manufacturing code. Depot-level vehicles can dominate the $1.3 million mean. Open the industry page for descriptions. Cite USAspending.gov. Mixed repair-and-replace actions follow one principal NAICS chosen by the officer.

Questions

How much is obligated under NAICS 811219?

Other electronic and precision equipment repair and maintenance contracts show $9,403,227,542.13 in USAspending obligations across 7,461 awards. That is a repair-and-maintenance tag, not new manufacturing. The figure is obligations, not outlays. Assistance without NAICS is excluded. Open the industry page for award-level recipient and agency fields in the USAspending extract.

Is this the same as buying new precision equipment?

No. Manufacturing and wholesale NAICS codes measure new equipment. NAICS 811219 measures repair and maintenance tagged to this residual repair class. The $9.4 billion does not include manufacturing hubs. Use each industry page for its own tagged total. Use manufacturing hubs for new-equipment totals and this page for the 811219 repair tag only.

What is the average 811219 award?

Dividing $9,403,227,542.13 by 7,461 awards yields about $1.3 million. That mean is not a cost per repair ticket. Depot vehicles and small bench-repair orders share the average. The packet does not publish a median or a work-order count. Award-level amounts on the industry page are the check against treating $1.3 million as a typical bench-repair ticket.

Do maintenance grants appear in this total?

Usually no. The aggregate is built from USAspending contract awards that carry NAICS 811219. Assistance awards often omit NAICS and therefore do not enter $9.4 billion. Program pages are the better surface for grant-funded maintenance. Program pages remain the better surface for grant-funded maintenance that never received this repair NAICS.
