Department of State obligations in All Other Personal Services (NAICS 812990)

State × 812990 is a residual personal-services join

This page intersects one awarding agency and one six-digit industry. $650,544,778.50 is the obligation sum where both filters are true. The join is awarding agency 072 crossed with NAICS 812990, not the $165,614,781,383.14 State agency total. It is not the Department of State agency total of $165,614,781,383.14 and not a national NAICS 812990 total. Those parent tables live on the Department of State hub and the NAICS 812990 hub. 0.39% of the agency book sits in this cell.

One thousand eight hundred eighty-nine records is a busy residual file; row count is not employment. 1,889 is an award-record count. Modifications can sit beside base awards. The packet does not say how many unique vendors produced the 1,889 lines. Reading 1,889 as plants, labs, or offices at Department of State would confuse actions with establishments. This narrative does not invent recipient names.

541330 and 541690 are professional siblings, not this total

Agency 072 is Department of State. Personal-services folklore should not be recoded into engineering or scientific consulting. All agencies lists other toptier books. All spending ties indexes other agency–industry pairs. Do not sum those indexes into $650,544,778.50. The headline remains $650,544,778.50 on 1,889 awards for this pair alone.

NAICS 812990 is a Census industry code assigned on the award. The join is awarding agency 072 crossed with NAICS 812990, not the $165,614,781,383.14 State agency total. Engineering services (541330) and other scientific consulting (541690) are professional-services State joins, not 812990. Those neighboring codes never enter $650,544,778.50 unless they also appear as 812990, which they do not. Keep the six-digit label when you cite the Department of State cell. All Other Personal Services is a residual personal-services NAICS, not a headcount of people at posts.

1,889 awards without a personnel roster

Dividing $650,544,778.50 by 1,889 produces about $344,386. That quotient is arithmetic, not a typical Department of State 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 $164,964,236,604.64.

Personal-services obligations are not salaries already paid

USAspending obligations are commitments, not checks that have cleared. $650,544,778.50 can include amounts that will be paid later, cancelled, or modified. The packet does not publish outlays. 1,889 is not a payment count. Quote NAICS 812990 at Department of State as obligations. FEC donations do not pay these awards; different datasets, same public web, no funding link.

Citing 072 × 812990

The all other personal services–Department of State pair does not prove that Department of State specialized in this industry because of federal demand, or the reverse. All Other Personal Services is a residual personal-services NAICS, not a headcount of people at posts. Keep both sides of the join in any headline: Department of State and NAICS 812990. Related pages: Department of State hub, NAICS 812990, 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.
