Book Publishers federal obligations in FY2024
Book Publishers obligated $241,799,301.77 in FY2024 according to USAspending.gov (NAICS 511130). That yearlyTrend cell is 90.0% of $268,779,199.32. That yearlyTrend cell is about ninety percent of the NAICS 511130 extract — a book-publishing year, not a print-run log. The pair is Book Publishers and FY2024 — not every federal dollar in FY2024, not Book Publishers’s lifetime book restated as a single year, and not cash already paid. The industry parent lists 743 awards across the published extract; that count is not a FY2024-only row total. Correlation is not causation.

The Book Publishers–FY2024 join
The relationship is mechanical: one NAICS code, one fiscal year, one obligation sum. $241,799,301.77 is that sum for Book Publishers in 2024. It is not Book Publishers nationwide restated as a single year, not every federal dollar in FY2024, and not an outlay register. The packet does not split trade, educational, and other book lines inside 511130. 743 is the industry extract’s award-record count, not a FY2024-only file. Unique recipients are unpublished. This cell is not a title catalog, a named-publisher roster, or a print-run log.
90.0% locates FY2024 inside NAICS 511130’s $268,779,199.32 extract. Other publishing NAICS keep their own cells. Do not recode 511130 as a libraries-and-archives program. Do not divide $241,799,301.77 by 743 and call the result a typical FY2024 contract; the award count is extract-wide. Open NAICS 511130 for the industry table without the year filter, FY2024 federal spending for the year table without the NAICS filter, All industries for the NAICS index, and All spending ties for other pairs. Quote those hubs as parents, not as addends to $241,799,301.77.
How USAspending labels Book Publishers
USAspending labels industry 511130 as Book Publishers. That code produced $241,799,301.77 when filtered to FY2024. The industry-wide 511130 hub does not require a 2024 clamp. The fiscal-year hub does not require Book Publishers. Only this tie applies both filters. The packet does not split trade, educational, and other book lines inside 511130.
Correlation is not causation: fiscal year 2024 did not cause $241,799,301.77 by existing on a calendar. Production rates, employment, and named facilities are not packet facts. The join is 511130 × FY2024 only. This cell is not a title catalog, a named-publisher roster, or a print-run log. 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.
FY2024 as a yearlyTrend bucket for NAICS 511130
Fiscal year 2024 on this join is a USAspending yearlyTrend bucket, not a claim that every obligated dollar was delivered in calendar 2024. Awards can list FY2024 while performance stretches across adjacent years. FY figures can be incomplete; this snapshot reports $241,799,301.77 as given. Other fiscal years for NAICS 511130 belong on those ties. Other publishing NAICS keep their own cells. Do not recode 511130 as a libraries-and-archives program.
FY2024 federal spending shows how Book Publishers sits beside other industries in the same year extract. $241,799,301.77 is one industry-year column, not the year table. Quoting it as all of FY2024 would drop every other NAICS. The 90.0% industry share describes this join, not a ranking of industries as winners or losers. The industry extract totals $268,779,199.32; $241,799,301.77 is the 2024 slice of that denominator.
743 is extract-wide, not a FY2024 title census
743 is the industry extract’s award-record count, not a FY2024 census of titles, publishers, or named imprints. Mixing that count with $241,799,301.77 invents a per-award FY2024 figure the packet does not publish. Treat 743 as the industry parent’s action count. Modifications can add rows on the parent. This cell is not a title catalog, a named-publisher roster, or a print-run log. Unique recipients remain unpublished. Do not annualize $241,799,301.77 beyond fiscal year 2024. Do not per-capita the dollar total; population is unpublished.
Obligations are commitments, not cash paid
USAspending.gov records an obligation when the federal government commits funds on an award. $241,799,301.77 is that kind of sum for Book Publishers in FY2024. Later deobligations, recoveries, or payment schedules can change what leaves the Treasury without this join rewriting itself into a cash register. Assistance and contract awards can share the same industry rollup; this packet does not split them. This page reports $241,799,301.77 as given. Cite USAspending.gov: Book Publishers (NAICS 511130) obligated $241,799,301.77 in FY2024. Name Book Publishers and FY2024 together. Keep the obligation word.
Holding the 511130 × 2024 pair together
Keep Book Publishers, NAICS 511130, FY2024, and $241,799,301.77 together. All spending ties indexes other pairs. NAICS 511130 is the 511130 parent without a year filter. FY2024 federal spending is the 2024 parent. All industries is the NAICS index. Do not add those parents to this cell. Sharing a year with Book Publishers does not mean campaign donations funded these awards, and it does not convert obligations into outlays. This page reports one USAspending yearlyTrend join.
743 is the industry extract’s award-record count, not a FY2024 census of titles, publishers, or named imprints. The packet does not split trade, educational, and other book lines inside 511130. Named contractors stay unpublished. Prefer NAICS 511130 and FY2024 federal spending if the live tables moved. Obligations are not outlays. Correlation is not causation. If NAICS 511130 or FY2024 federal spending has refreshed, prefer the live hub over this snapshot.
