Administrative and general management consulting federal obligations in the District of Columbia

What the 541611–District of Columbia join is

NAICS 541611 and geography DC meet here. $764,210,328.70 is the USAspending.gov obligation sum on awards that carry both tags. It is not the nationwide management consulting book, not District of Columbia’s entire federal inflow, and not an outlay. Computer-systems design (541512) and other computer services (541519) are sibling codes, not this consulting bucket.

2,287 awards is a thick professional-services list beside $764,210,328.70. Thick Beltway books often mix small task orders with larger management vehicles. The packet does not name a cabinet agency or a GSA schedule inside the extract. Treating 2,287 as a headcount of DC consultants would misread award records. Those labels are ordinary speech, not extra packet dollars.

Open District of Columbia federal spending for every industry tagged to the state, NAICS 541611 for 541611 without a District of Columbia filter, District of Columbia industries for other District of Columbia NAICS pairs, and All spending ties for joins outside this management consulting cell. Do not add those parents into $764,210,328.70.

A consulting book that is not 541512

Dividing $764,210,328.70 by 2,287 awards yields about $334,154 per award. That mean is a ratio of two packet facts, not a typical downtown strategy order and not a typical federal-support line. Unique recipients are unpublished. 2,287 is not a count of consultants or badges.

District geography invites a downtown-versus-Navy-Yard story. This extract does not split wards. All share DC inside $764,210,328.70. Maryland 541512 and DC 541519 are different cells; do not fold them into $764,210,328.70.

Nationwide 541611 without a District overlay is a different total

The national industry hub aggregates 541611 across every state. District of Columbia’s statewide hub aggregates every NAICS with an DC tag. Only awards that carry both 541611 and District of Columbia place of performance belong here, which is why this page cites 2,287 awards and $764,210,328.70.

Place of performance can follow a payee address, in-state work, or a reporting convention. 541611 awards coded to Maryland or Virginia do not enter this sum even if a vendor’s mailroom sits on K Street. The join cannot re-allocate dollars along a Beltway consulting chain.

Obligations, not outlays, on the District 541611 cell

An obligation is a legal commitment. An outlay is a payment. $764,210,328.70 is the former. This packet has no outlay total, no fiscal-year split, and no de-obligation history. Citing the figure as invoices already cleared in the District over-reads the field. 2,287 remains an award-record count, not a payment count.

What the District–541611 pair does not prove

A large management consulting total in District of Columbia does not mean the code caused District of Columbia’s industry mix, and it does not connect these obligations to campaign contributions. Correlation is not causation. Lobbying registrations and org charts are not USAspending columns here.

Keep $764,210,328.70 labeled as NAICS 541611 obligations with District of Columbia place of performance. District of Columbia federal spending still includes other industries that must not be folded into this management consulting cell. NAICS 541611 is 541611 without the District of Columbia filter. District of Columbia industries lists sibling District of Columbia codes.

How to cite management consulting in the District of Columbia

A clean footnote names NAICS 541611 (management consulting), District of Columbia place of performance, $764,210,328.70 in obligations, and 2,287 awards on USAspending.gov. Keep the obligation word. Mean dollars per action remain about $334,154. Do not merge 541512 or 541519 into this consulting bucket. All spending ties indexes other pairs.

A later ingest can restate $764,210,328.70 without changing the join of 541611 and DC. District of Columbia federal spending still mixes every District of Columbia industry; do not quote that parent as 541611. NAICS 541611 is the national management consulting code without the District of Columbia tag. District of Columbia industries keeps sibling District of Columbia codes unmerged. 2,287 is a record count, including modifications, not a unique-vendor census. Keep the obligation label on $764,210,328.70. Correlation is not causation. Ward folklore is not a split in this packet. Maryland and Virginia consulting, if coded elsewhere, stay out of $764,210,328.70.
