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

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

The relationship is mechanical: awarding agency 015 and industry 561612 on the same award roll into $2,656,067,438.17. The join is awarding-agency 015 crossed with NAICS 561612, not a courthouse-guard headcount and not DOJ’s entire $63,292,860,893 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 post names, guard names, or hours billed.

6,934 award lines can look sparse or crowded. Either way, 6,934 is not equal 6,934 guards or 6,934 posts. USAspending counts award records. Unique recipients remain off this packet. Other justice/public-order (922190) and residual IT codes sit outside this total unless they also carry 561612. Neighboring codes stay outside $2,656,067,438.17.

6,934 awards behind $2.7 billion

About $383,050 per award comes from dividing $2,656,067,438.17 by 6,934. Use that ratio as a scale check, not as a typical guard contract and not an hourly bill rate. Count is not a count of guards, posts, or buildings. The agency parent remains $63,292,860,893; this slice is about 4.2% of that book.

Six thousand nine hundred thirty-four lines are too many to narrate. Sort the DOJ table by amount. Open Department of Justice for the agency hub. This page will not invent a map of guarded DOJ buildings or a guard census. Courthouse-versus-prison folklore is not a site split in this packet. Correlation with a published FPS-or-USMS guard count is not a packet finding.

Guard-service obligations are not hours already stood

NAICS 561612 is a security-guards-and-patrol-services label on the award file. Quote $2,656,067,438.17 as obligations, not a punch-list of hours already stood. A DOJ protective-services staffing table with a year stamp is not this file. No fiscal year is attached here.

This extract does not split courthouses from prisons from other sites inside 561612. DHS and State 019 also have 561612 joins on this slice; those awarding-agency keys are not 015. Those splits are not in the facts.

What the DOJ 561612 table omits

Omitted: post names, guard names, or hours billed. Cited: $2,656,067,438.17, 6,934 awards, agency 015, NAICS 561612, parent $63,292,860,893. Hour totals and post names are not packet facts.

NAICS 561612 holds NAICS 561612 nationwide. All agencies lists agencies. All spending ties lists ties. Campaign contributions do not pay these obligations. Keep the pair intact when you quote $2,656,067,438.17.

Where the DOJ × NAICS 561612 hubs live

Department of Justice is the agency 015 hub behind $63,292,860,893. NAICS 561612 is the nationwide NAICS 561612 listing. All agencies lists awarding agencies. All spending ties indexes other ties. 6,934 awards totaling $2,656,067,438.17 remain a guard-services administrative file, not a headcount. Post names and bill rates are not in this packet. USAspending.gov is the source. Do not annualize $2,656,067,438.17: no fiscal year is in the facts. Do not add those parent shelves into this cell.

How to read the DOJ × 561612 pair

Cite agency 015 (Department of Justice), NAICS 561612 (Security Guards And Patrol Services), $2,656,067,438.17, and 6,934 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 Security Guards And Patrol Services caused the agency’s mission. Leave this page for named lines on Department of Justice. Campaign-finance tables do not fund these obligations. If a later extract revises the rollup, this snapshot will be stale until rebuilt. Post names and bill 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 DOJ spending is coded to security guards and patrol?

USAspending.gov shows $2,656,067,438.17 in obligations for Department of Justice (agency 015) coded to NAICS 561612, across 6,934 awards. The sum is a commitment total, not outlays and not the agency’s full $63,292,860,893 book. Other industries are outside this join unless they also carry 561612.

Do 6,934 awards mean 6,934 guards?

No. Award count is a row count of 6,934 actions and can include continuations. It is not a count of guards, posts, or buildings. The packet does not name recipients. See Department of Justice for named lines as USAspending stored them.

Is this the same as DHS or State guard services?

No. DHS (070) and State 019 have their own 561612 joins. This page is DOJ (015) × 561612. Adding agencies invents a combined guard-services figure the packet never computed. Parent DOJ is $63,292,860,893. Original filings remain on USAspending.gov.

Has $2.7 billion already been paid for guard hours?

Not on this metric. Obligations are recorded commitments on awards. Outlays are payments from the Treasury. The $2,656,067,438.17 headline is the obligation rollup in SpendingVault’s extract. Remaining balances are not published in this packet. Original filings remain on USAspending.gov.
