Department of Education obligations in Collection Agencies (NAICS 561440)

Education × 561440 is a collection-agency join, not a borrower list

The relationship is mechanical: industry code 561440 and awarding agency 091 on the same award roll into $1,886,490,179.06. The join is awarding agency 091 crossed with NAICS 561440, not the Department of Education's $398,145,700,789.94 agency total. Remove either filter and the number changes. This page never claims the pair caused the other side to exist. 0.47% of Department of Education's $398,145,700,789.94 sits here; $396,259,210,610.88 sits in other industries on the Department of Education hub.

Seven records is a sparse file. Sparse does not mean small in dollars. Seven award lines can look sparse or crowded depending on the industry. Either way, 7 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.

Commercial banking 522110 is a sibling Education cell

Cross-check the Department of Education hub if you need other NAICS under 091, NAICS 561440 if you need other agencies, All agencies for the portfolio, and All spending ties for other joins. Those URLs are parents and siblings, not addends for $1,886,490,179.06. Agency 091 is Department of Education. FSA component folklore is unpublished on this packet.

Commercial banking (522110) is a separate Education join in this slice and is not recoded into 561440. The join is awarding agency 091 crossed with NAICS 561440, not the Department of Education's $398,145,700,789.94 agency total. Speech often blends neighboring services or manufacturing codes. This table does not. $1,886,490,179.06 is 561440 only, inside Department of Education only. Seven awards holding nearly $1.89 billion is a concentrated file; concentration is visible only as count against dollars.

Seven awards behind a $1.89 billion book

About $269.50 million per award comes from dividing $1,886,490,179.06 by 7. Use that ratio as a scale check, not as a typical Department of Education invoice. No median and no fiscal-year slice appear in the facts. Seven records is a sparse file. Sparse does not mean small in dollars. Sparse cells can still be large in dollars; busy cells can be many small actions.

Collection obligations are not dollars already recovered

$1,886,490,179.06 is obligated, not necessarily paid. Outlays, cancellations, and fiscal-year buckets are unpublished. 7 is the award-record count for NAICS 561440 at Department of Education. Do not upgrade the figure to 'Department of Education already received $1,886,490,179.06 in collection agencies payments.' Keep obligations as the verb. FEC itemizations do not fund this join.

How to cite 091 × 561440

Industry presence at Department of Education and federal obligations in that industry can move together or not; this packet cannot say which. Seven awards holding nearly $1.89 billion is a concentrated file; concentration is visible only as count against dollars. Do not fold FEC donations into USAspending. Cite both sides: Collection Agencies and Department of Education. Related indexes: All agencies and All spending ties, plus the Department of Education hub and NAICS 561440. 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. Campaign-finance receipts are a different dataset and do not fund these awards.
