Software Publishers
NAICS 511210 · Federal Contracts & Awards
USAspending.gov tags $4,298,488,221.13 to Software Publishers for FY2025 under NAICS 511210. Relative to the industry book of $20,872,748,830.19, that is 20.6%. The join is a catalog pair, not a software-license inventory, an app catalog, or a named-vendor roster. The extract lists 13,333 award records across years, not a FY2025 vendor census.
Key figures
- USAspending records $4,298,488,221.13 in Software Publishers FY2025 obligations (NAICS 511210).
- That cell is 20.6% of the industry's $20,872,748,830.19 extract-wide total.
- 13,333 is the industry extract award-record count, not a FY2025 census of software titles, licenses, or named publishers.
- Obligations are not outlays; FEC donations do not fund this total.
Software Publishers joined to FY2025
$4,298,488,221.13 answers one question: what did USAspending record for NAICS 511210 in fiscal year 2025? It does not answer what Treasury paid, what every industry obligated that year, or what Software Publishers totaled across all years ($20,872,748,830.19).
Treating the figure as a seat-count, a product SKU list, or an IT-modernization ranking over-reads the table. Facts here do not name contractors or award recipients. Electronic Computer Manufacturing FY2025 and Other Computer Related Services FY2026 sit on this slice as different NAICS keys. Correlation with other series is not causation.
NAICS 511210's year slice versus the longer extract
Strip the year and the remaining industry rollup lives at /industries/511210/. Strip the NAICS and the remaining FY2025 rollup lives at /fiscal-years/2025/. 20.6% of $20,872,748,830.19 is this cell; other FY rows for 511210 are other cells.
Do not add those other year rows into $4,298,488,221.13. Do not treat $4,298,488,221.13 as the FY2025 government-wide total. Commitments are not cleared payments. Fiscal year 2025 figures can be incomplete for the current year; later USAspending.gov ingests can restate the cell without changing the NAICS or year keys.

Questions
- How much did Software Publishers obligate in FY2025?
- USAspending.gov records $4,298,488,221.13 in Software Publishers obligations for fiscal year 2025 under NAICS 511210. That amount is a yearlyTrend obligation total, not an outlay and not the industry's $20,872,748,830.19 extract-wide sum.
- Is $4,298,488,221.13 the entire 511210 USAspending total?
- No. NAICS 511210's extract-wide total is $20,872,748,830.19. FY2025 is 20.6% of that book. Other fiscal-year rows for the same code are separate cells. Do not add the parent hub into this join. Obligations of $4,298,488,221.13 are not outlays.
- Are 13,333 awards 13,333 software products in FY2025?
- No. 13,333 is the Software Publishers award-record count in this extract, not a FY2025-only census of software titles, licenses, or named publishers. The packet does not split those records by fiscal year or name contractors. USAspending.gov remains the source.
- Is $4,298,488,221.13 money already paid in FY2025?
- No. $4,298,488,221.13 is a yearlyTrend obligation, a legal commitment, not a published outlay. Treasury payments can lag. FEC donations are unrelated to this NAICS 511210 cell. USAspending.gov remains the source for NAICS 511210 in FY2025.
