Government Accountability Office obligations in Security Guards And Patrol Services (NAICS 561612)

GAO × 561612 is a guard-services join, not a Capitol-complex roster

Government Accountability Office as awarding agency 005, Security Guards And Patrol Services as NAICS 561612: 10 records summing to $75,387,889.62. The pair is awarding-agency 005 crossed with NAICS 561612, not a uniformed-officer headcount and not GAO’s facilities-support (561210) cell. Treat the pair as a catalog intersection, not a ranking, and not a claim that 10 awards equal that many guard posts, unique firms, or named GAO sites. A Government Accountability Office award coded to a different NAICS is out. A 561612 award from a different awarding agency is out even if the work sounds related.

Facilities support (561210) for the same agency is a separate 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 561612 is the industry parent. All agencies lists awarding agencies. All spending ties indexes other pairs.

Ten GAO rows in the security-patrol NAICS

Mean obligation is about $7.54 million if $75,387,889.62 were divided evenly across 10 lines. That ratio is a quotient of two packet facts, not a published typical award. Ten awards against $75.4 million is a short guard-services file, still not a post roster. Award count is a row count, including possible orders and modifications. It is not a census of guard posts, unique firms, or named GAO sites.

Ten awards are a record count, not a vendor roster. This page will not invent recipient names. Named GAO sites and guard contractors are unpublished. Ten awards are not ten unique security firms. The $75,387,889.62 total remains an obligation rollup on tagged awards. GAO’s full awarding-agency book is $765,932,457.62; mixing that parent into $75,387,889.62 invents a roll-up the packet never computed.

GAO guard obligations are not posts already filled

An obligation is a recorded commitment. An outlay is a payment. The $75,387,889.62 headline is the obligation sum, not patrol hours already billed. No fiscal year is attached in this packet, so this page does not invent one. Citing the figure as cash already sent under Security Guards And Patrol Services confuses two USAspending concepts. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total.

Named GAO sites and guard contractors are unpublished. Ten awards are not ten unique security firms. Unique recipients are unpublished. Keep the obligation label on $75,387,889.62. FEC filings and USAspending awards are different datasets, even when the same vendor name appears in both systems.

What the GAO–561612 pair leaves unpublished

The extract has no roster of guard posts, unique firms, or named GAO sites. Facts remain $75,387,889.62, 10 awards, NAICS 561612, 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. Facilities support (561210) for the same agency is a separate join.

Government Accountability Office places agency 005 among other awarding agencies. NAICS 561612 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 $75,387,889.62 figure is the tagged pair only.

Citing GAO with security guards and patrol services

A clean footnote names Government Accountability Office (agency 005), Security Guards And Patrol Services (NAICS 561612), $75,387,889.62 in obligations, and 10 awards on USAspending.gov. Keep the obligation word. Mean dollars per action remain about $7.54 million. Quote Government Accountability Office if you need every industry under agency 005, and quote NAICS 561612 if you need the code without the GAO filter. Ten awards totaling $75,387,889.62 remain a NAICS 561612 file, not a census of guard posts, unique firms, or named GAO sites. Inspect named award lines on USAspending.gov rather than inferring inventories the packet omitted.
