Department of Transportation obligations in Telecommunications Resellers (NAICS 517310)

DOT × 517310 is a telecom-reseller join, not a circuit map

Agency 069 and NAICS 517310 meet in this cell. $6,221,921,810.02 is the USAspending.gov obligation sum on awards that carry both tags. It is not Department of Transportation’s entire $415,288,372,621.56 book, not the national NAICS 517310 total, and not an outlay. The join is awarding-agency 069 crossed with NAICS 517310, not a spectrum inventory and not DOT’s entire $415,288,372,621.56 book. The pair is the only object this page measures. The extract does not list carrier names, circuit IDs, or site counts.

12 award records sit beside $6,221,921,810.02. Treating 12 as equal 12 networks or 12 carriers would misread award rows as people, plants, or hulls. Unique recipients are unpublished. Wired, wireless, and other telecom codes sit outside this total unless they also carry 517310. Those neighboring codes never enter $6,221,921,810.02 unless they also appear as 517310.

12 awards behind $6.2 billion

Dividing $6,221,921,810.02 by 12 yields about $518.49 million. That quotient is arithmetic, not a typical reseller invoice and not a cost per circuit. There is no median, no top-award table, and no fiscal-year breakout on this packet. Award count can include continuations. It is not a count of carriers, circuits, or towers.

Twelve lines are scannable on the agency table; a short list can still hold large vehicles. Open Department of Transportation rather than inventing a contractor roster. Do not convert 12 into a map of telecom circuits. Air-traffic-telecom folklore is not a circuit list in this packet. Correlation with a published circuit count or a tower inventory is not in this join. About 1.5% of the $415,288,372,621.56 agency book sits in this NAICS cell — a ratio of two packet facts, not a policy ranking.

Reseller obligations are not circuits already provisioned

NAICS 517310 is a telecommunications-resellers label on the award file. $6,221,921,810.02 is the commitment aggregate, not a punch-list of circuits already provisioned. No year field is published. A DOT telecom inventory is a different file unless it uses agency 069, NAICS 517310, and obligations.

This extract does not split air-traffic from surface-transport telecom inside 517310. DOT engineering, highway-construction, and IT joins on this slice use different NAICS keys. This page will not invent a sub-NAICS share. The industry label stays Telecommunications Resellers. The awarding-agency label stays Department of Transportation.

What the DOT 517310 table omits

Facts remain $6,221,921,810.02, 12 awards, agency 069, NAICS 517310, and parent $415,288,372,621.56. Missing fields include carrier names, circuit IDs, or site counts. Carrier names and circuit IDs are not packet facts. Do not rank this pair against other agencies’ 517310 cells as a winner or loser.

NAICS 517310 shows NAICS 517310 without the agency 069 filter. All agencies and All spending ties are indexes, not addends. FEC donation tables do not fund USAspending obligations; the two systems do not share a payment rail. Quote $6,221,921,810.02 as the tagged pair only.

Where the DOT × NAICS 517310 hubs live

Department of Transportation is the agency 069 hub behind the $415,288,372,621.56 parent. NAICS 517310 is the industry hub. All agencies lists awarding agencies. All spending ties indexes other ties. Twelve awards totaling $6,221,921,810.02 remain a reseller-coded administrative file, not a circuit census. Carrier names and circuit counts are not in this packet. USAspending.gov is the source. Do not annualize $6,221,921,810.02: no fiscal year is in the facts. Those four links are parents and indexes, not addends for this cell.

How to read the DOT × 517310 pair

Two tables meet: awarding agency 069 and NAICS 517310. $6,221,921,810.02 is the obligation intersection, not a forecast and not an outlay. The join does not prove Department of Transportation caused Telecommunications Resellers work, or the reverse. Open Department of Transportation, NAICS 517310, All agencies, and All spending ties for parent totals. This narrative is not a vendor directory. Campaign-finance filings do not fund these USAspending obligations.

Questions

How much DOT spending is coded to telecommunications resellers?

USAspending.gov shows $6,221,921,810.02 in obligations for Department of Transportation (agency 069) coded to NAICS 517310, across 12 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 517310.

Do 12 awards mean 12 telecom carriers?

No. Award count is a row count of 12 actions and can include continuations. It is not a count of carriers, circuits, or towers. The packet does not name recipients. See Department of Transportation for named lines as USAspending stored them.

Is this DOT’s entire communications budget?

No. Twelve awards can include large vehicles. The join is agency 069 plus NAICS 517310 only. Other DOT telecom-like codes are outside $6,221,921,810.02. The parent DOT book is $415,288,372,621.56. Original filings remain on USAspending.gov.

Has $6.2 billion already been paid to resellers?

Not on this metric. Obligations are recorded commitments on awards. Outlays are payments from the Treasury. The $6,221,921,810.02 headline is the obligation rollup in SpendingVault’s extract. Remaining balances are not published in this packet. Original filings remain on USAspending.gov.
