Department of State (agency 019) obligations in Management Consulting (NAICS 541611)

State 019 × 541611 is a consulting join, not agency 072’s cell

This page pairs awarding agency 019, Department of State, with NAICS 541611, Administrative Management And General Management Consulting Services. The join is awarding-agency 019 crossed with NAICS 541611, not a consultant headcount and not State’s $117,759,659,797.09 book. SpendingVault sums tagged obligations: $4,543,731,778.84 on 2,018 awards. The extract does not list firm names, consultant names, or engagement titles. Treat the pair as a catalog intersection, not a ranking of which industry the agency “prefers,” and not a claim that 2,018 awards equal 2,018 consultants or 2,018 engagements as unique people.

Facilities support and residual professional codes sit outside this total unless they also carry 541611. Mixing those listings into $4,543,731,778.84 would invent a combined figure the packet never computed. Correlation between this obligation sum and a published consulting-headcount is not causation. Bureau-management folklore is not an office split in this packet. The Department of State parent book is $117,759,659,797.09; this NAICS cell is about 3.9% of that published agency total. Parent hubs are not addends.

2,018 awards behind $4.5 billion

Mean obligation is about $2.25 million if $4,543,731,778.84 were divided evenly across 2,018 lines. That ratio is not a typical consulting engagement and not a loaded daily rate. Award count is a row count, including possible continuations and modifications. It is not a count of consultants, bureaus, or firms.

Two thousand eighteen lines are too many to narrate. Sort the agency 019 table by amount. This page will not invent contractor or recipient names. Open Department of State for the agency table. Do not convert 2,018 into a map of consulting engagements. The $4,543,731,778.84 total remains an obligation rollup on tagged awards. Inspect named lines rather than inferring a consultant census.

Consulting obligations are not recommendations already adopted

NAICS 541611 is an administrative-and-general management consulting label on the award file. The $4,543,731,778.84 headline is the obligation sum, not a punch-list of recommendations already accepted and not a Treasury outlay total. No fiscal year is attached. A State 019 management-support plan dated to a particular year is not automatically this join unless it uses agency 019, NAICS 541611, and the obligation metric.

The industry title is Administrative Management And General Management Consulting Services. This extract does not split strategy from operations consulting inside 541611. Those cuts would require award documentation beyond dollars, 2,018 awards, agency 019, and NAICS 541611. This page will not invent a share. Agency 072 has a separate 541611 join on this slice; do not add 019 and 072.

What the State 019 × 541611 table omits

The extract has no firm names, consultant names, or engagement titles. Facts remain $4,543,731,778.84, 2,018 awards, agency 019, NAICS 541611, and the agency book $117,759,659,797.09. This page will not invent a ranking against other agencies’ 541611 joins. This -2 slug exists because two awarding-agency codes share the State × 541611 label; the disambiguator is agency 019.

NAICS 541611 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 $4,543,731,778.84 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 State 019 × NAICS 541611 hubs live

Start with Department of State for agency 019’s published book behind the $117,759,659,797.09 parent. NAICS 541611 is the nationwide NAICS 541611 listing. All agencies lists other awarding agencies. All spending ties is the shelf for other agency-by-industry joins on the same obligation metric. 2,018 awards totaling $4,543,731,778.84 remain a consulting-coded administrative file, not a consultant census. Name agency 019 in the citation so this cell is not confused with agency 072’s 541611 join. The $4,543,731,778.84 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 $4,543,731,778.84: no fiscal year is in the facts.

How to read the State 019 × 541611 pair

A ties page exists because two tables meet. One table is awarding agency 019 (Department of State). The other is NAICS 541611 (Administrative Management And General Management Consulting Services). The headline $4,543,731,778.84 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 State caused the industry to exist, or that NAICS 541611 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 State agency 019 spending is coded to NAICS 541611?

USAspending.gov shows $4,543,731,778.84 in obligations for Department of State (agency 019) coded to NAICS 541611, across 2,018 awards. The sum is a commitment total, not outlays and not the agency’s full $117,759,659,797.09 book. Other industries are outside this join unless they also carry 541611.

Do 2,018 awards mean 2,018 consultants?

No. Award count is a row count of 2,018 actions and can include continuations. It is not a count of consultants, bureaus, or firms. The packet does not name recipients. See Department of State for named lines as USAspending stored them.

Why does this slug end in -2?

Two awarding-agency codes share the Department of State name. This page is agency 019 × NAICS 541611. Agency 072 has a separate 541611 join. The -2 suffix marks the duplicate slug; cite 019 in the headline. Original filings remain on USAspending.gov.

Are these consulting dollars already paid?

Not on this metric. Obligations are recorded commitments on awards. Outlays are payments from the Treasury. The $4,543,731,778.84 headline is the obligation rollup in SpendingVault’s extract. Remaining balances are not published in this packet. Original filings remain on USAspending.gov.
