Department of Commerce obligations in Custom Computer Programming (541511)
Department of Commerce custom-programming obligations total $1,906,982,541.16 across 475 awards. Federal obligations coded to Department of Commerce (agency 013) and NAICS 541511 — Custom Computer Programming Services — total $1,906,982,541.16 on USAspending.gov, on 475 awards. Four hundred seventy-five records is a mid-size IT file, not a count of applications in production. About $4.01 million per award is the packet ratio. The page measures that pair, not a Census IT inventory, a named software vendor list, or Commerce's 541512 systems-design book.
Key figures
- $1,906,982,541.16 is Commerce (013) × NAICS 541511.

- Obligations are not IT outlays already paid.
Commerce × 541511 is a programming join, not a systems census
The join is awarding agency 013 crossed with NAICS 541511, not the Department of Commerce's $89,712,039,641.68 agency total. The dollar figure $1,906,982,541.16 applies only where the industry code and awarding agency 013 are both present. The Department of Commerce hub is larger because it includes other NAICS ($89,712,039,641.68 agency-wide). NAICS 541511 is larger because it includes other agencies. This tie is the intersection. 2.1% of the Department of Commerce book is this slice.
Four hundred seventy-five actions produced the Department of Commerce custom programming book. Four hundred seventy-five records is a mid-size IT file, not a count of applications in production. Award rows are not the same as establishments in the Economic Census. A single vendor can hold several of the 475 records. The packet does not identify vendors, and this page does not invent them.
541512 design services stay on another code
Readers comparing codes should open All agencies rather than inferring rank from this one cell. All spending ties collects other intersections. The Department of Commerce hub and NAICS 541511 without the pair filter are different totals. None of those pages should be added into $1,906,982,541.16. Agency 013 is Department of Commerce. NOAA, Census, and NIST folklore is unpublished; only the toptier code is in the facts.
Computer systems design (541512) and other computer-related services (541519) remain other codes; 541511 is custom programming only. Residual or neighboring codes are easy to merge in speech and wrong to merge in this table. The join is awarding agency 013 crossed with NAICS 541511, not the Department of Commerce's $89,712,039,641.68 agency total. $1,906,982,541.16 stays inside 541511 × 013 only. Custom Computer Programming Services is the stored NAICS title, not every Commerce IT dollar.
475 awards and a four-million-dollar mean
The implied mean of about $4.01 million is $1,906,982,541.16 / 475. There is no distribution in the packet: no p50, no largest award, no fiscal year. Four hundred seventy-five records is a mid-size IT file, not a count of applications in production. This extract cannot separate one large vehicle from many small orders. The rest of the agency book outside this NAICS is $87,805,057,100.52.
Programming obligations are not deployed software
Obligations are not outlays. $1,906,982,541.16 is the commitment aggregate for this pair. Later modifications can raise or lower what is eventually paid. Quote 475 as award records. Do not call $1,906,982,541.16 'Department of Commerce already spent this on custom programming' — outlays and years are unpublished. Campaign receipts do not fund USAspending obligations.
Citing agency 013 and NAICS 541511
Custom Computer Programming Services is the stored NAICS title, not every Commerce IT dollar. Federal awards in one NAICS do not explain Department of Commerce staffing, and itemized campaign gifts do not pay these obligations. Cite Department of Commerce and NAICS 541511 together so the join stays visible. Related indexes: All agencies and All spending ties. 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.
