Environmental Protection Agency obligations in Other Professional Services (541990)

EPA × 541990 is a residual professional-services join

Agency 068 and industry 541990 meet in this cell. $271,746,850.41 is the USAspending.gov obligation sum on awards that carry both tags. It is not Environmental Protection Agency's entire book of $69,137,321,923.67, not the national NAICS 541990 total, and not an outlay. The join is awarding agency 068 crossed with NAICS 541990, not the $69,137,321,923.67 EPA agency total. The pair is the only object this page measures. Correlation is not causation: a large other professional services cell at Environmental Protection Agency does not prove the agency exists to buy that industry.

Two hundred fifty-eight awards sit beside $271,746,850.41. Two hundred fifty-eight records is a mid-size residual file, not a scientist headcount. The count can include contracts, orders, and modifications. Treating 258 as a roster of vendors would misread award records as firms. Unique recipients are unpublished on this packet; this narrative names none. 0.39% of Environmental Protection Agency's $69,137,321,923.67 agency total sits in this NAICS 541990 slice; the complement $68,865,575,073.26 remains in other codes on the Environmental Protection Agency hub.

541620 and 541611 stay on other EPA pages

Agency 068 is Environmental Protection Agency. Commerce also has a 541990 cell; that is agency 013. Open the Environmental Protection Agency agency page for every industry under agency 068, NAICS 541990 for the code without an agency filter, All agencies for the portfolio index, and All spending ties for other pairs. Do not add those parent tables into $271,746,850.41.

The join is awarding agency 068 crossed with NAICS 541990, not the $69,137,321,923.67 EPA agency total. Sibling NAICS codes stay on other industry pages: Environmental consulting (541620), management consulting (541611), and other computer services (541519) are other EPA cells in this slice. Mixing those dollars into $271,746,850.41 would invent a roll-up the packet does not publish. NAICS 541990 is the only industry key on this Environmental Protection Agency tie. All Other Professional, Scientific, And Technical Services is a residual NAICS, smaller at EPA than 541620 in this slice.

258 awards without a laboratory directory

Dividing $271,746,850.41 by 258 awards yields about $1.05 million per award. That mean is a ratio of two packet facts, not a typical invoice and not a median. The packet has no fiscal-year split, no de-obligation history, and no named contractor list. Two hundred fifty-eight records is a mid-size residual file, not a scientist headcount. A high mean can be a handful of large vehicles; a low mean can be many delivery orders. This extract cannot tell those stories apart.

Residual-services obligations are not finished studies

An obligation is a legal commitment. An outlay is a payment. $271,746,850.41 is the former. Citing the figure as cash already cleared by Environmental Protection Agency over-reads the field. 258 remains an award-record count, not a payment count. Keep the obligation word when you quote NAICS 541990 at Environmental Protection Agency. Itemized campaign gifts on FEC.gov are a different statute and do not fund these USAspending awards.

How to cite 068 × 541990

A clean footnote names Environmental Protection Agency (agency 068), NAICS 541990 (All Other Professional, Scientific, And Technical Services), $271,746,850.41 in obligations, and 258 awards on USAspending.gov. Quote the Environmental Protection Agency hub if you need every industry under 068, and quote NAICS 541990 if you need the code without the agency filter. All agencies and All spending ties are indexes, not addends. All Other Professional, Scientific, And Technical Services is a residual NAICS, smaller at EPA than 541620 in this slice. Do not per-capita the total; population is unpublished here.
