Federal Trade Commission obligations in Other Computer Related Services (NAICS 541519)

FTC × 541519 is a residual-computer join, not a case-management census

Federal Trade Commission as awarding agency 029, Other Computer Related Services as NAICS 541519: 303 records summing to $257,652,915.76. The pair is awarding-agency 029 crossed with NAICS 541519, not a case-management vendor list and not the FTC’s scientific-consulting or management-consulting cells. Treat the pair as a catalog intersection, not a ranking, and not a claim that 303 awards equal that many case systems, unique vendors, or named FTC applications. A Federal Trade Commission award coded to a different NAICS is out. A 541519 award from a different awarding agency is out even if the work sounds related.

Scientific consulting (541690) and management consulting (541611) for the FTC sit elsewhere. Correlation between this obligation sum and mission outcomes is not causation. Those outcomes are not in the packet. Campaign contributions recorded on FEC.gov do not fund this USAspending cell. Federal Trade Commission is the agency parent. NAICS 541519 is the industry parent. All agencies lists awarding agencies. All spending ties indexes other pairs.

303 FTC rows in the 541519 computer-services NAICS

Mean obligation is about $850,340 if $257,652,915.76 were divided evenly across 303 lines. That ratio is a quotient of two packet facts, not a published typical award. Three hundred three awards against $257.7 million is a thick residual-IT book versus the FTC’s $630.2 million parent, still not a row per investigation. Award count is a row count, including possible orders and modifications. It is not a census of case systems, unique vendors, or named FTC applications.

Three hundred three awards are a record count, not a vendor roster. This page will not invent recipient names. Named vendors and FTC applications are unpublished. Three hundred three awards are not three hundred three unique systems. The $257,652,915.76 total remains an obligation rollup on tagged awards. The FTC’s full awarding-agency book is $630,178,065.48; mixing that parent into $257,652,915.76 invents a roll-up the packet never computed.

FTC 541519 obligations are not enforcement systems already live

An obligation is a recorded commitment. An outlay is a payment. The $257,652,915.76 headline is the obligation sum, not computer services already delivered. No fiscal year is attached in this packet, so this page does not invent one. Citing the figure as cash already sent under Other Computer Related Services confuses two USAspending concepts. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total.

Named vendors and FTC applications are unpublished. Three hundred three awards are not three hundred three unique systems. Unique recipients are unpublished. Keep the obligation label on $257,652,915.76. FEC filings and USAspending awards are different datasets, even when the same vendor name appears in both systems.

What the FTC–541519 cell does not name

The extract has no roster of case systems, unique vendors, or named FTC applications. Facts remain $257,652,915.76, 303 awards, NAICS 541519, and Federal Trade Commission (agency 029). This page will not invent a contractor league table. Sibling Federal Trade Commission × NAICS joins are separate obligation totals, not a better or worse score. Scientific consulting (541690) and management consulting (541611) for the FTC sit elsewhere.

Federal Trade Commission places agency 029 among other awarding agencies. NAICS 541519 is the national industry hub. All agencies is the agency index. All spending ties indexes other awarding-agency × NAICS pairs. Mixing those shelves would invent a share of the FTC’s full awarding-agency book the packet never computed. The $257,652,915.76 figure is the tagged pair only.

Citing the FTC with other computer related services

A clean footnote names Federal Trade Commission (agency 029), Other Computer Related Services (NAICS 541519), $257,652,915.76 in obligations, and 303 awards on USAspending.gov. Keep the obligation word. Mean dollars per action remain about $850,340. Quote Federal Trade Commission if you need every industry under agency 029, and quote NAICS 541519 if you need the code without the FTC filter. Three hundred three awards totaling $257,652,915.76 remain a NAICS 541519 file, not a census of case systems, unique vendors, or named FTC applications. Inspect named award lines on USAspending.gov rather than inferring inventories the packet omitted.
