How 513210 meets fiscal year 2026 in the award file

NAICS 513210 and fiscal year 2026 meet here. $253,220,393.83 is the USAspending.gov obligation sum on the yearlyTrend row that carries both tags. It is not Software Publishers's nationwide all-year total of $2,600,436,263.27, not every federal dollar coded to FY2026, and not an outlay register. The packet does not split packaged software lines, or contract from assistance. 8,441 is an industry-extract action count: modifications and repeat awards add rows across years. Unique recipients are unpublished. This cell is not a product catalog, a named-publisher roster, or a license-seat census.

Open /industries/513210/ (NAICS 513210) for the industry table without this FY2026 filter, /fiscal-years/2026/ (FY2026 federal spending) for the year table without this NAICS filter, /industries/ (All industries) for every industry, and /ties/ (All spending ties) for the rest of the join list. Quote those hubs as parents, not as addends to $253,220,393.83. Software publishers (513210) are not computer facilities management (541513) and not electronic computer manufacturing (334111). Publishing, facilities, and hardware stay separate.

Keeping 513210 from collapsing into a nearby NAICS

USAspending labels NAICS 513210 as Software Publishers. That code produced $253,220,393.83 when crossed with fiscal year 2026. The industry-wide 513210 hub does not require a FY2026 filter. The year hub does not require Software Publishers. Only this tie applies both filters. The packet does not split packaged software lines, or contract from assistance. FY2026 figures can be incomplete. Do not annualize this 513210 snapshot into a full-year software-license forecast.

Correlation is not causation: FY2026 did not cause $253,220,393.83 by existing as a large or small budget year. The join is 513210 × FY2026 only. This cell is not a product catalog, a named-publisher roster, or a license-seat census. Do not invent contractors or award recipients to fill the gap. Campaign donations on FEC tables do not fund this USAspending cell; the datasets are separate. Eight thousand four hundred forty-one industry-extract awards describe 513210 across years, not a FY2026 product or publisher census.

Questions

How much Software Publishers spending is obligated in FY2026?

USAspending.gov lists $253,220,393.83 in Software Publishers (NAICS 513210) obligations for FY2026. That yearlyTrend amount is 9.7% of the industry's $2,600,436,263.27 extract-wide total. It is an obligation join, not an outlay and not every federal dollar in FY2026. Unique recipients are unpublished.

Is $253,220,393.83 the entire Software Publishers USAspending total?

No. NAICS 513210's extract-wide total is $2,600,436,263.27. FY2026 is 9.7% of that book. Other fiscal-year rows for the same industry are separate cells. Do not add /industries/513210/ into this join. 8,441 award records stay on the industry extract, not on this yearlyTrend row.

Is $253,220,393.83 cash already paid in FY2026?

No. Obligations are commitments recorded on USAspending.gov awards. Outlays — money that actually left the Treasury — are a different concept and are not this packet's headline. Treating $253,220,393.83 as checks already cleared in FY2026 confuses those terms. Prefer the live industry and year hubs if the tables moved.

Does 8,441 awards mean 8,441 unique companies in FY2026?

No. 8,441 is the industry-extract award-record count for Software Publishers, not unique vendors and not a FY2026 headcount. Modifications add rows. This packet names no contractors. Keep the extract count off the yearlyTrend clock. USAspending.gov remains the source for NAICS 513210 in FY2026.
