Department of Education obligations in Social Sciences R&D (NAICS 541720)

Education × 541720 is a social-science R&D join

This page intersects one awarding agency and one six-digit industry. $1,446,178,144.12 is the obligation sum where both filters are true. The join is awarding agency 091 crossed with NAICS 541720, not the $398,145,700,789.94 Education agency total. It is not the Department of Education agency total of $398,145,700,789.94 and not a national NAICS 541720 total. Those parent tables live on the Department of Education hub and the NAICS 541720 hub. 0.36% of the agency book sits in this cell.

Three hundred sixteen records is a mid-size R&D file, not a count of published papers. 316 is an award-record count. Modifications can sit beside base awards. The packet does not say how many unique vendors produced the 316 lines. Reading 316 as plants, labs, or offices at Department of Education would confuse actions with establishments. This narrative does not invent recipient names.

NSF is a different awarding agency

Agency 091 is Department of Education. NSF is agency 049, a different hub. All agencies lists other toptier books. All spending ties indexes other agency–industry pairs. Do not sum those indexes into $1,446,178,144.12. The headline remains $1,446,178,144.12 on 316 awards for this pair alone.

NAICS 541720 is a Census industry code assigned on the award. The join is awarding agency 091 crossed with NAICS 541720, not the $398,145,700,789.94 Education agency total. Management consulting (541611) and computer systems design (541512) are other Education professional cells in this slice. Those neighboring codes never enter $1,446,178,144.12 unless they also appear as 541720, which they do not. Keep the six-digit label when you cite the Department of Education cell. Research And Development In The Social Sciences And Humanities is NAICS 541720, not every Education research dollar.

316 awards without a university list

Dividing $1,446,178,144.12 by 316 produces about $4.58 million. That quotient is arithmetic, not a typical Department of Education 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. The complement of this slice inside the agency book is $396,699,522,645.82.

R&D obligations are not finished studies

USAspending obligations are commitments, not checks that have cleared. $1,446,178,144.12 can include amounts that will be paid later, cancelled, or modified. The packet does not publish outlays. 316 is not a payment count. Quote NAICS 541720 at Department of Education as obligations. FEC donations do not pay these awards; different datasets, same public web, no funding link.

How to cite 091 × 541720

The social science R&D–Department of Education pair does not prove that Department of Education specialized in this industry because of federal demand, or the reverse. Research And Development In The Social Sciences And Humanities is NAICS 541720, not every Education research dollar. Keep both sides of the join in any headline: Department of Education and NAICS 541720. Related pages: Department of Education hub, NAICS 541720, 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.
