Department of Homeland Security obligations in Security Guards and Patrol Services (NAICS 561612)

DHS × 561612 is a guard-services join, not a headcount

This page pairs awarding agency 070, Department of Homeland Security, with NAICS 561612, Security Guards And Patrol Services. The join is awarding-agency 070 crossed with NAICS 561612, not a Federal Protective Service headcount and not DHS’s entire $391,393,534,450.98 book. SpendingVault sums tagged obligations: $11,796,226,107.84 on 1,994 awards. The extract does not list post names, guard names, or hours billed. Treat the pair as a catalog intersection, not a ranking of which industry the agency “prefers,” and not a claim that 1,994 awards equal 1,994 guards or 1,994 posts.

Facilities support and other investigation/security codes sit outside this total unless they also carry 561612. Mixing those listings into $11,796,226,107.84 would invent a combined figure the packet never computed. Correlation between this obligation sum and a published FPS officer count is not causation. Federal-building-versus-airport folklore is not a site split here. The Department of Homeland Security parent book is $391,393,534,450.98; this NAICS cell is about 3.0% of that published agency total. Parent hubs are not addends.

1,994 awards behind $11.8 billion

Mean obligation is about $5.92 million if $11,796,226,107.84 were divided evenly across 1,994 lines. That ratio is not a typical guard contract and not an hourly bill rate. Award count is a row count, including possible continuations and modifications. It is not a count of guards, posts, or buildings.

One thousand nine hundred ninety-four lines are too many to narrate. Sort the DHS table by amount. This page will not invent contractor or recipient names. Open Department of Homeland Security for the agency table. Do not convert 1,994 into a map of guarded buildings. The $11,796,226,107.84 total remains an obligation rollup on tagged awards. Inspect named lines rather than inferring a guard census.

Guard-service obligations are not hours already stood

NAICS 561612 is a security-guards-and-patrol-services label on the award file. The $11,796,226,107.84 headline is the obligation sum, not a punch-list of hours already stood and not a Treasury outlay total. No fiscal year is attached. A FPS staffing table dated to a particular year is not automatically this join unless it uses agency 070, NAICS 561612, and the obligation metric.

The industry title is Security Guards And Patrol Services. This extract does not split armed from unarmed posts, and it does not split federal buildings from other sites. Those cuts would require award documentation beyond dollars, 1,994 awards, agency 070, and NAICS 561612. This page will not invent a share. DOJ and State 019 also have 561612 joins on this slice; those are other awarding-agency keys.

What the DHS 561612 table omits

The extract has no post names, guard names, or hours billed. Facts remain $11,796,226,107.84, 1,994 awards, agency 070, NAICS 561612, and the agency book $391,393,534,450.98. This page will not invent a ranking against other agencies’ 561612 joins. Hour totals and post names are not packet facts.

NAICS 561612 is the national industry hub. All agencies and All spending ties place this pair among other awarding agencies and other ties. Mixing those shelves would invent a share of federal spending the packet never computed. The $11,796,226,107.84 figure is the tagged pair only. Campaign-finance filings are a different public-record system; this join does not claim donations funded these obligations.

Where the DHS × NAICS 561612 hubs live

Start with Department of Homeland Security for agency 070’s published book behind the $391,393,534,450.98 parent. NAICS 561612 is the nationwide NAICS 561612 listing. All agencies lists other awarding agencies. All spending ties is the shelf for other agency-by-industry joins on the same obligation metric. 1,994 awards totaling $11,796,226,107.84 remain a guard-services administrative file, not a headcount. Post names and bill rates are not in this packet. The $11,796,226,107.84 total is the tagged pair only. USAspending.gov remains the source; SpendingVault republishes the join. If a later extract revises the rollup, this page’s facts will be stale until the packet is rebuilt. Do not annualize $11,796,226,107.84: no fiscal year is in the facts.

How to read the DHS × 561612 pair

A ties page exists because two tables meet. One table is awarding agency 070 (Department of Homeland Security). The other is NAICS 561612 (Security Guards And Patrol Services). The headline $11,796,226,107.84 is the obligation sum on that intersection. It is not a forecast, not a budget request, and not an outlay. It is also not a claim that Department of Homeland Security caused the industry to exist, or that NAICS 561612 caused the agency’s mission. Correlation between an awarding-agency code and a Census industry code is the join — nothing more. Use the internal links to step off this pair. If you need award-level names, open the agency overlay rather than treating this narrative as a contractor directory.

Questions

How much DHS spending is coded to security guards and patrol?

USAspending.gov shows $11,796,226,107.84 in obligations for Department of Homeland Security (agency 070) coded to NAICS 561612, across 1,994 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 561612.

Do 1,994 awards mean 1,994 guards?

No. Award count is a row count of 1,994 actions and can include continuations. It is not a count of guards, posts, or buildings. The packet does not name recipients. See Department of Homeland Security for named lines as USAspending stored them.

Is this the same as DOJ’s 561612 join?

No. DOJ’s 561612 cell uses awarding agency 015 and a different parent total. This page is DHS (070) × 561612 only. Adding the two agencies invents a combined guard-services figure. Original filings remain on USAspending.gov. Keep both sides of the join in the citation.

Has $11.8 billion already been paid for guard hours?

Not on this metric. Obligations are recorded commitments on awards. Outlays are payments from the Treasury. The $11,796,226,107.84 headline is the obligation rollup in SpendingVault’s extract. Remaining balances are not published in this packet. Original filings remain on USAspending.gov.
