Government Accountability Office obligations in Other Computer Related Services (NAICS 541519)

GAO × 541519 is a residual-computer join, not a report-production IT census

Government Accountability Office as awarding agency 005, Other Computer Related Services as NAICS 541519: 142 records summing to $131,390,502.25. The pair is awarding-agency 005 crossed with NAICS 541519, not a report-production IT census and not GAO’s thin eight-award systems-design cell. Treat the pair as a catalog intersection, not a ranking, and not a claim that 142 awards equal that many audit systems, unique vendors, or named GAO applications. A Government Accountability Office award coded to a different NAICS is out. A 541519 award from a different awarding agency is out even if the work sounds related.

Computer systems design (541512) for GAO is a different join. 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. Government Accountability Office is the agency parent. NAICS 541519 is the industry parent. All agencies lists awarding agencies. All spending ties indexes other pairs.

142 GAO rows in the 541519 computer-services bin

Mean obligation is about $925,285 if $131,390,502.25 were divided evenly across 142 lines. That ratio is a quotient of two packet facts, not a published typical award. One hundred forty-two awards against $131.4 million is a mid-thick residual-IT book versus GAO’s $765.9 million parent, still not a row per engagement. Award count is a row count, including possible orders and modifications. It is not a census of audit systems, unique vendors, or named GAO applications.

One hundred forty-two awards are a record count, not a vendor roster. This page will not invent recipient names. Named vendors and GAO applications are unpublished. One hundred forty-two awards are not one hundred forty-two unique systems. The $131,390,502.25 total remains an obligation rollup on tagged awards. GAO’s full awarding-agency book is $765,932,457.62; mixing that parent into $131,390,502.25 invents a roll-up the packet never computed.

GAO 541519 dollars are not audit systems already live

An obligation is a recorded commitment. An outlay is a payment. The $131,390,502.25 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 GAO applications are unpublished. One hundred forty-two awards are not one hundred forty-two unique systems. Unique recipients are unpublished. Keep the obligation label on $131,390,502.25. FEC filings and USAspending awards are different datasets, even when the same vendor name appears in both systems.

What the GAO–541519 pair leaves out

The extract has no roster of audit systems, unique vendors, or named GAO applications. Facts remain $131,390,502.25, 142 awards, NAICS 541519, and Government Accountability Office (agency 005). This page will not invent a contractor league table. Sibling Government Accountability Office × NAICS joins are separate obligation totals, not a better or worse score. Computer systems design (541512) for GAO is a different join.

Government Accountability Office places agency 005 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 GAO’s full awarding-agency book the packet never computed. The $131,390,502.25 figure is the tagged pair only.

Citing GAO with other computer related services

A clean footnote names Government Accountability Office (agency 005), Other Computer Related Services (NAICS 541519), $131,390,502.25 in obligations, and 142 awards on USAspending.gov. Keep the obligation word. Mean dollars per action remain about $925,285. Quote Government Accountability Office if you need every industry under agency 005, and quote NAICS 541519 if you need the code without the GAO filter. One hundred forty-two awards totaling $131,390,502.25 remain a NAICS 541519 file, not a census of audit systems, unique vendors, or named GAO applications. Inspect named award lines on USAspending.gov rather than inferring inventories the packet omitted.

Questions

How much has Government Accountability Office obligated in NAICS 541519?

USAspending.gov shows $131,390,502.25 in obligations for awarding agency 005 tagged to Other Computer Related Services (NAICS 541519), across 142 awards. The sum is a commitment total, not outlays and not GAO’s full awarding-agency book. Other NAICS codes are outside this join unless they also carry 541519.

Do 142 awards equal 142 GAO computer vendors?

No. Award count is a row count of award actions and can include orders and modifications. It is not a census of audit systems, unique vendors, or named GAO applications. The packet does not name recipients. The implied mean near $925,285 is a ratio, not a typical unit. Original filings remain on USAspending.gov.

No. The join is awarding agency 005 crossed with NAICS 541519. The agency parent in this packet is $765,932,457.62. Related industries on other NAICS numbers are not inside $131,390,502.25. Computer systems design (541512) for GAO is a different join.

Is the Other Computer Related Services total already paid by GAO?

Not on this metric. Obligations are recorded commitments. Outlays are payments from the Treasury. The $131,390,502.25 headline is the obligation rollup in SpendingVault's extract. Completed activity and remaining balances are not published in this packet. Original filings remain on USAspending.gov.
