Department of Homeland Security obligations in Engineering Services (NAICS 541330)

DHS × 541330 is an engineering-services join, not a staff roster

The relationship is mechanical: awarding agency 070 and industry 541330 on the same award roll into $8,449,758,684.71. The join is awarding-agency 070 crossed with NAICS 541330, not an engineering-staff census and not DHS’s entire $391,393,534,450.98 book. Remove either filter and the number changes. This page never claims the pair caused the other side to exist. The extract does not list project names, engineer names, or specialty splits.

1,645 award lines can look sparse or crowded. Either way, 1,645 is not equal 1,645 engineers or 1,645 projects. USAspending counts award records. Unique recipients remain off this packet. Building construction, shipbuilding, and computer-systems design sit outside this total unless they also carry 541330. Neighboring codes stay outside $8,449,758,684.71.

1,645 awards behind $8.4 billion

About $5.14 million per award comes from dividing $8,449,758,684.71 by 1,645. Use that ratio as a scale check, not as a typical engineering invoice and not a loaded labor rate. Count is not a count of engineers, projects, or sites. The agency parent remains $391,393,534,450.98; this slice is about 2.2% of that book.

One thousand six hundred forty-five lines are too many to narrate. Sort the DHS table by amount. Open Department of Homeland Security for the agency hub. This page will not invent a map of DHS engineering sites or an engineer census. Border-infrastructure folklore is not a project list in this packet. Correlation with a published engineering headcount is not a packet finding.

Engineering obligations are not designs already stamped

NAICS 541330 is an engineering-services label on the award file. Quote $8,449,758,684.71 as obligations, not a punch-list of designs already stamped. A DHS engineering-support plan with a year stamp is not this file. No fiscal year is attached here.

This extract does not split civil from systems from naval architecture specialties. NASA and DOT also have 541330 joins on this slice; those are other awarding-agency keys. Those splits are not in the facts.

What the DHS 541330 table omits

Omitted: project names, engineer names, or specialty splits. Cited: $8,449,758,684.71, 1,645 awards, agency 070, NAICS 541330, parent $391,393,534,450.98. Specialty splits inside engineering services are not packet facts.

NAICS 541330 holds NAICS 541330 nationwide. All agencies lists agencies. All spending ties lists ties. Campaign contributions do not pay these obligations. Keep the pair intact when you quote $8,449,758,684.71.

Where the DHS × NAICS 541330 hubs live

Department of Homeland Security is the agency 070 hub behind $391,393,534,450.98. NAICS 541330 is the nationwide NAICS 541330 listing. All agencies lists awarding agencies. All spending ties indexes other ties. 1,645 awards totaling $8,449,758,684.71 remain an engineering-coded administrative file, not an engineer census. Project names and labor rates are not in this packet. USAspending.gov is the source. Do not annualize $8,449,758,684.71: no fiscal year is in the facts. Do not add those parent shelves into this cell.

How to read the DHS × 541330 pair

Cite agency 070 (Department of Homeland Security), NAICS 541330 (Engineering Services), $8,449,758,684.71, and 1,645 awards together. Keep the obligation word. The join is the intersection, not a story about why the agency buys this industry, and not a claim that Engineering Services caused the agency’s mission. Leave this page for named lines on Department of Homeland Security. Campaign-finance tables do not fund these obligations. If a later extract revises the rollup, this snapshot will be stale until rebuilt. Project names and labor rates are not in this packet. Readers who reuse this agency-industry snapshot should keep both keys in the same sentence, cite USAspending.gov, and treat award rows as records rather than unique vendors. This narrative does not invent a fiscal year, a recipient list, or an outlay total the packet omitted. Keep the obligation word on the headline dollar figure in every footnote.

Questions

How much DHS spending is coded to engineering services?

USAspending.gov shows $8,449,758,684.71 in obligations for Department of Homeland Security (agency 070) coded to NAICS 541330, across 1,645 awards. The sum is a commitment total, not outlays and not the agency’s full $391,393,534,450.98 book. Other industries are outside this join unless they also carry 541330.

Do 1,645 awards mean 1,645 engineers?

No. Award count is a row count of 1,645 actions and can include continuations. It is not a count of engineers, projects, or sites. The packet does not name recipients. See Department of Homeland Security for named lines as USAspending stored them.

Is this the same as DOT or NASA engineering services?

No. DOT (069) and NASA (080) have their own 541330 joins. This page is DHS (070) × 541330 only. Adding agencies invents a combined engineering-services figure the packet never computed. Original filings remain on USAspending.gov. Keep both sides of the join in the citation.

Are these engineering dollars already paid?

Not on this metric. Obligations are recorded commitments on awards. Outlays are payments from the Treasury. The $8,449,758,684.71 headline is the obligation rollup in SpendingVault’s extract. Remaining balances are not published in this packet. Original filings remain on USAspending.gov.
