Department of State obligations in Other Scientific Consulting (NAICS 541690)

State × 541690 is a residual scientific-consulting join

Department of State's published agency total is $165,614,781,383.14. This NAICS 541690 cell is $1,546,784,237.18, or 0.93% of that book. The join is awarding agency 072 crossed with NAICS 541690, not the $165,614,781,383.14 State agency total. The remainder $164,067,997,145.96 is other industries on the Department of State hub, not a mystery residual this page can name. Subtracting the join from the agency total is arithmetic on packet facts, not a new disclosure.

Seventy-five award records produced the slice. Seventy-five records is a thin file with a high implied mean. The packet never converts 75 into unique vendors, offices, or people. Naming a contractor would be invention. Modifications can inflate the row count without inflating the set of firms.

541330 engineering is a sibling State cell

Agency 072 is Department of State. Other foreign-affairs toptiers are other hubs. NAICS 541690 without the Department of State filter is a different dollar total. All agencies and All spending ties are catalogs. None of them should be summed into $1,546,784,237.18. Keep agency 072 on the citation so a same-named department under another code cannot collide.

Engineering services (541330) is a separate State join in this slice and is not recoded into 541690. The join is awarding agency 072 crossed with NAICS 541690, not the $165,614,781,383.14 State agency total. Other Scientific And Technical Consulting Services is a residual consulting NAICS, not every State technical dollar. The industry string on the file is Other Scientific And Technical Consulting Services. Neighboring titles that sound similar remain other keys unless they also carry 541690.

75 awards behind $1.55 billion

About $20.62 million per award is $1,546,784,237.18 divided by 75. That ratio is a scale check. It is not a posted rate, a median task order, or a typical invoice. No fiscal-year series appears in the facts, so this page does not assign $1,546,784,237.18 to a single FY.

Scientific-consulting obligations are not finished studies

Commitments are not payments. $1,546,784,237.18 can move when awards are modified or cancelled. Outlays are unpublished. Campaign-finance tables on FEC.gov do not pay USAspending obligations; do not write a funding story that stitches the two. Quote 75 as records.

How to cite 072 × 541690

Footnote both nouns: Department of State and Other Scientific And Technical Consulting Services. Point to the Department of State hub, NAICS 541690, All agencies, and All spending ties. Other Scientific And Technical Consulting Services is a residual consulting NAICS, not every State technical dollar. Leave recipient names off; the packet did not publish them. 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. Parent agency and industry tables remain on the hubs linked from this page. Campaign-finance receipts are a different dataset and do not fund these awards. Place of performance and recipient headquarters are unpublished on this packet, so this page does not relocate the dollars. A later USAspending ingest can restate the join without changing the two-field definition of awarding agency plus NAICS. Do not convert the award-record count into employment, establishments, or unique vendors.
