Department of Commerce obligations in NAICS 541611 management consulting

Commerce × 541611 is a management-consulting join

Agency 013 and industry 541611 meet in this cell. $1,447,939,879.34 is the USAspending.gov obligation sum on awards that carry both tags. It is not Department of Commerce's entire book of $89,712,039,641.68, not the national NAICS 541611 total, and not an outlay. The join is awarding agency 013 crossed with NAICS 541611, not the $89,712,039,641.68 Commerce agency total. The pair is the only object this page measures. Correlation is not causation: a large management consulting cell at Department of Commerce does not prove the agency exists to buy that industry.

Eight hundred twenty-eight awards sit beside $1,447,939,879.34. Eight hundred twenty-eight records is a thick consulting file, still not a headcount of advisors. The count can include contracts, orders, and modifications. Treating 828 as a roster of vendors would misread award records as firms. Unique recipients are unpublished on this packet; this narrative names none. 1.6% of Department of Commerce's $89,712,039,641.68 agency total sits in this NAICS 541611 slice; the complement $88,264,099,762.34 remains in other codes on the Department of Commerce hub.

Programming and residual professional codes stay separate

Agency 013 is Department of Commerce. Component folklore is unpublished. Open the Department of Commerce agency page for every industry under agency 013, NAICS 541611 for the code without an agency filter, All agencies for the portfolio index, and All spending ties for other pairs. Do not add those parent tables into $1,447,939,879.34.

The join is awarding agency 013 crossed with NAICS 541611, not the $89,712,039,641.68 Commerce agency total. Sibling NAICS codes stay on other industry pages: Custom programming (541511), all other information services (519190), and residual professional services (541990) are other Commerce cells in this slice. Mixing those dollars into $1,447,939,879.34 would invent a roll-up the packet does not publish. NAICS 541611 is the only industry key on this Department of Commerce tie. Administrative Management And General Management Consulting Services is NAICS 541611, not every Commerce professional-services dollar.

828 awards without a firm directory

Dividing $1,447,939,879.34 by 828 awards yields about $1.75 million per award. That mean is a ratio of two packet facts, not a typical invoice and not a median. The packet has no fiscal-year split, no de-obligation history, and no named contractor list. Eight hundred twenty-eight records is a thick consulting file, still not a headcount of advisors. A high mean can be a handful of large vehicles; a low mean can be many delivery orders. This extract cannot tell those stories apart.

Consulting obligations are not invoices cashed

An obligation is a legal commitment. An outlay is a payment. $1,447,939,879.34 is the former. Citing the figure as cash already cleared by Department of Commerce over-reads the field. 828 remains an award-record count, not a payment count. Keep the obligation word when you quote NAICS 541611 at Department of Commerce. Itemized campaign gifts on FEC.gov are a different statute and do not fund these USAspending awards.

Citing 013 × 541611

A clean footnote names Department of Commerce (agency 013), NAICS 541611 (Administrative Management And General Management Consulting Services), $1,447,939,879.34 in obligations, and 828 awards on USAspending.gov. Quote the Department of Commerce hub if you need every industry under 013, and quote NAICS 541611 if you need the code without the agency filter. All agencies and All spending ties are indexes, not addends. Administrative Management And General Management Consulting Services is NAICS 541611, not every Commerce professional-services dollar. Do not per-capita the total; population is unpublished here.
