Department of Commerce obligations in Other Professional Services (NAICS 541990)

Department of Commerce residual professional-services obligations total $1,201,513,513.20 on 645 awards. Department of Commerce plus All Other Professional, Scientific, And Technical Services (NAICS 541990) accounts for $1,201,513,513.20 in USAspending.gov obligations across 645 awards. Six hundred forty-five records is a thick residual file, still not a headcount of practitioners. The arithmetic mean is about $1.86 million per award. That cell is a two-field join, not a 541611 consulting roll-up, a 519190 information-services cell, or a named lab roster.

Commerce × 541990 is a residual professional-services join

The relationship is mechanical: industry code 541990 and awarding agency 013 on the same award roll into $1,201,513,513.20. The join is awarding agency 013 crossed with NAICS 541990, not the $89,712,039,641.68 Commerce agency total. Remove either filter and the number changes. This page never claims the pair caused the other side to exist. 1.3% of Department of Commerce's $89,712,039,641.68 sits here; $88,510,526,128.48 sits in other industries on the Department of Commerce hub.

Six hundred forty-five records is a thick residual file, still not a headcount of practitioners. Six hundred forty-five award lines can look sparse or crowded depending on the industry. Either way, 645 is not employment, not a plant census, and not a consultant headcount. USAspending counts award records. Unique recipients remain off this packet, so no contractor names appear here.

645 awards without a practitioner list

About $1.86 million per award comes from dividing $1,201,513,513.20 by 645. Use that ratio as a scale check, not as a typical Department of Commerce invoice. No median and no fiscal-year slice appear in the facts. Six hundred forty-five records is a thick residual file, still not a headcount of practitioners. Sparse cells can still be large in dollars; busy cells can be many small actions.

Residual-services obligations are not finished deliverables

$1,201,513,513.20 is obligated, not necessarily paid. Outlays, cancellations, and fiscal-year buckets are unpublished. 645 is the award-record count for NAICS 541990 at Department of Commerce. Do not upgrade the figure to 'Department of Commerce already received $1,201,513,513.20 in other professional services payments.' Keep obligations as the verb. FEC itemizations do not fund this join.

How to cite 013 × 541990

Industry presence at Department of Commerce and federal obligations in that industry can move together or not; this packet cannot say which. All Other Professional, Scientific, And Technical Services is a residual NAICS, not a license census. Do not fold FEC donations into USAspending. Cite both sides: All Other Professional, Scientific, And Technical Services and Department of Commerce. Related indexes: All agencies and All spending ties, plus the Department of Commerce hub and NAICS 541990. Readers who reuse this agency-industry snapshot 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. Keep the obligation word on the headline dollar figure in every footnote. Do not annualize the obligation sum; this packet publishes no fiscal-year series. Award modifications can sit beside base records in the same row count. Parent agency and industry tables remain on the hubs linked from this page.
