Department of Transportation obligations in Computer Systems Design Services (NAICS 541512)

DOT × 541512 is a systems-design join, not a mode IT map

NAICS 541512 is a computer systems design-services label on the award file. The dollar figure $3,357,737,241.69 applies only where agency 069 and NAICS 541512 are both present. Department of Transportation is larger because it includes other industries. NAICS 541512 is larger because it includes other agencies. This tie is the intersection. The extract does not list system names, mode names, or vendor names.

1,066 actions produced the cell. Award rows are not the same as establishments in the Economic Census. A single vendor can hold several of the 1,066 records. The packet does not identify vendors. 1,066 is not equal 1,066 systems or 1,066 IT vendors.

1,066 awards behind $3.4 billion

Other computer related services (541519) and telecom resellers sit outside this total unless they also carry 541512. Residual or neighboring codes are easy to merge in speech and wrong to merge in this table. $3,357,737,241.69 stays inside agency 069 × NAICS 541512 only. Mean obligation is about $3.15 million, not a typical systems-design invoice and not a cost per seat. Count is not a count of systems, modes, or vendors.

One thousand sixty-six lines belong on the DOT table. This page will not list vendors. This page will not invent contractor names. Open Department of Transportation for stored agency rows. Do not convert 1,066 into a map of DOT data centers or infer a systems census. FAA-systems folklore is not an application inventory in this packet. About 0.8% of $415,288,372,621.56 sits in this NAICS slice — still not a ranking.

Systems-design obligations are not systems already accepted

$3,357,737,241.69 is the commitment sum, not a punch-list of systems already accepted. No fiscal year is in the facts. A DOT IT portfolio table is not this join unless it uses the same two keys and the obligation metric.

The listing title is Computer Systems Design Services. This extract does not split FAA from FHWA from other modes inside 541512. DOT’s 541519 residual-IT join on this slice is a different six-digit code. Inventing those splits would leave the packet.

What the DOT 541512 table omits

Omitted fields include system names, mode names, or vendor names. Remaining facts: $3,357,737,241.69, 1,066 awards, agency 069, NAICS 541512, parent $415,288,372,621.56. Mode names inside DOT are not a field in this packet.

NAICS 541512, All agencies, and All spending ties are related shelves. Adding them to $3,357,737,241.69 invents a share. Donations reported to the FEC do not pay these awards. Different statutes, different tables.

Where the DOT × NAICS 541512 hubs live

Cite from Department of Transportation and NAICS 541512, then use All agencies and All spending ties for context. 1,066 awards totaling $3,357,737,241.69 remain a systems-design administrative file, not a mode census. System names and mode splits are not in this packet. Do not annualize $3,357,737,241.69: no fiscal year is in the facts. USAspending.gov is the originating system. Parent hubs remain separate tables and are not folded into this cell.

How to read the DOT × 541512 pair

The relationship is mechanical: agency 069 plus NAICS 541512 roll into $3,357,737,241.69. Remove either filter and the number changes. This page never claims the pair caused the other side to exist. If you need names, leave this narrative and open Department of Transportation. Campaign-finance tables are a different dataset. Quote $3,357,737,241.69, 1,066 awards, agency 069, and NAICS 541512 together. System names and mode splits 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 DOT spending is coded to computer systems design?

USAspending.gov shows $3,357,737,241.69 in obligations for Department of Transportation (agency 069) coded to NAICS 541512, across 1,066 awards. The sum is a commitment total, not outlays and not the agency’s full $415,288,372,621.56 book. Other industries are outside this join unless they also carry 541512.

Do 1,066 awards mean 1,066 IT systems?

No. Award count is a row count of 1,066 actions and can include continuations. It is not a count of systems, modes, or vendors. The packet does not name recipients. See Department of Transportation for named lines as USAspending stored them.

Is this mostly FAA information technology?

The packet does not split agency 069 by mode. $3,357,737,241.69 is the combined 541512 sum for DOT. FAA and FHWA shares are unpublished. The parent DOT book is $415,288,372,621.56. Original filings remain on USAspending.gov.

Are these systems-design dollars already paid?

Not on this metric. Obligations are recorded commitments on awards. Outlays are payments from the Treasury. The $3,357,737,241.69 headline is the obligation rollup in SpendingVault’s extract. Remaining balances are not published in this packet. Original filings remain on USAspending.gov.
