Colleges, universities, and professional schools federal obligations in Tennessee (NAICS 611310)

NAICS 611310 and Tennessee as a higher-ed join

This page intersects one six-digit industry and one state. $55,812,716.32 is the obligation sum where both filters are true. NAICS 611310 is colleges, universities, and professional schools, not junior colleges and not elementary schools. It is not a statewide spending total and not a national NAICS 611310 total. Those parent tables live on Tennessee federal spending and NAICS 611310.

189 awards against $55.8 million is a mid-thickness education cell rather than a flood of tiny task orders. 189 is an award-record count. Modifications can sit beside base awards. The packet does not say how many unique vendors produced the 189 lines. Reading 189 as factories, ships, or clinics in Tennessee would confuse actions with establishments.

Tennessee industries lists other NAICS codes with TN place of performance. All spending ties indexes other state–industry pairs. Do not sum those indexes into $55,812,716.32. The headline remains $55,812,716.32 on 189 awards for this pair alone.

Universities, not K-12 or junior colleges

NAICS 611310 is a Census industry code assigned on the award. NAICS 611310 is colleges, universities, and professional schools, not junior colleges and not elementary schools. Junior colleges (611210) and elementary and secondary schools (611110) are different industry pages. Those neighboring codes never enter $55,812,716.32 unless they also appear as 611310, which they do not. Keep the six-digit label when you cite the Tennessee cell.

Higher-education codes can sit beside research codes in speech. This table keeps 611310 only. Unique recipients are unpublished. Dividing $55,812,716.32 by 189 produces about $295,305. That quotient is arithmetic, not a typical Tennessee contract. There is no median, no top-award table, and no fiscal-year breakout on this packet. Do not treat the mean as a posted unit price.

Tennessee geography on a 611310 cell

Tennessee place of performance can cover Nashville, Knoxville, Memphis, or a reporting address. The packet has no campus split. Inside the TN tag, Nashville, Knoxville, or a named campus are not broken out. The packet has one state key. A named city can sit inside $55,812,716.32 only if its awards carry NAICS 611310 and TN — which this narrative cannot verify.

Place-of-performance geography is not the same as contractor headquarters. A firm based elsewhere can perform in Tennessee, and a Tennessee address can appear on work done out of state. This join reports the coded pair, not a logistics map. Tennessee federal spending remains the statewide parent.

Obligations versus outlays for Tennessee 611310

USAspending obligations are commitments, not checks that have cleared. $55,812,716.32 can include amounts that will be paid later, cancelled, or modified. The packet does not publish outlays. 189 is not a payment count. Quote NAICS 611310 in Tennessee as obligations and leave fiscal-year folklore off the citation — years are unpublished here.

What the university–Tennessee pair does not prove

The colleges and universities–Tennessee pair does not prove that Tennessee specialized in this industry because of federal demand, or the reverse. Higher-education codes can sit beside research codes in speech. This table keeps 611310 only. Unique recipients are unpublished. Campaign-finance tables are a different dataset; donations do not fund these awards. Keep both sides of the join in any headline: NAICS 611310 and Tennessee.

How to cite NAICS 611310 in Tennessee

Cite USAspending.gov, NAICS 611310 (Colleges, Universities, And Professional Schools), Tennessee (TN), $55,812,716.32, and 189 awards. Note that the figures are obligations. Point readers to Tennessee federal spending, NAICS 611310, Tennessee industries, and All spending ties rather than collapsing those pages into this cell. Mean per award stays about $295,305 as a ratio only. Readers who reuse TN colleges & universities (611310) should keep both sides of the join in the same sentence, cite USAspending.gov as the source, and treat award rows as records rather than unique vendors. The live hubs linked from this page can refresh the snapshot; this narrative does not invent a fiscal year, a recipient list, or an outlay total that the packet omitted. Place of performance remains a geography tag, not proof that work stayed inside the named state.
