Janitorial Services federal obligations in FY2024
USAspending.gov tags $6,687,525,355.89 to Janitorial Services (NAICS 561720) in fiscal year 2024. About eighty-five percent of this janitorial extract lands in FY2024. Custodial coding is not residual support (561990) and not food-service contractors (722310). That pair is Janitorial Services (NAICS 561720) and federal fiscal year 2024 — not every federal dollar in FY2024, not Janitorial Services's $7,918,469,949.62 extract-wide book, and not cash already paid. The cell is 84.5% of this industry's published obligation total. 10,390 is the industry-extract award-record count, not a FY2024-only instrument tally. USAspending.gov is the source. Correlation is not causation.

The FY2024 filter on Janitorial Services
NAICS 561720 and fiscal year 2024 meet here. $6,687,525,355.89 is the USAspending.gov obligation sum on the yearlyTrend row that carries both tags. It is not Janitorial Services's nationwide all-year total of $7,918,469,949.62, not every federal dollar coded to FY2024, and not an outlay register. The packet does not split custodial from related cleaning trades. 10,390 is an industry-extract action count: modifications and repeat awards add rows across years. Unique recipients are unpublished. This cell is not a building census, a cleaner headcount, or a named-vendor roster.
Open /industries/561720/ (NAICS 561720) for the industry table without this FY2024 filter, /fiscal-years/2024/ (FY2024 federal spending) for the year table without this NAICS filter, /industries/ (All industries) for every industry, and /ties/ (All spending ties) for the rest of the join list. Quote those hubs as parents, not as addends to $6,687,525,355.89. Do not read janitorial as facilities-support folklore or as a building inventory. The packet names no sites.
The janitorial services rollup versus one fiscal year
USAspending labels NAICS 561720 as Janitorial Services. That code produced $6,687,525,355.89 when crossed with fiscal year 2024. The industry-wide 561720 hub does not require a FY2024 filter. The year hub does not require Janitorial Services. Only this tie applies both filters. The packet does not split custodial from related cleaning trades. FY2024 janitorial dollars stay on this yearlyTrend row. Other years for 561720 are other cells.
Correlation is not causation: FY2024 did not cause $6,687,525,355.89 by existing as a large or small budget year. The join is 561720 × FY2024 only. This cell is not a building census, a cleaner headcount, or a named-vendor roster. Do not invent contractors or award recipients to fill the gap. Campaign donations on FEC tables do not fund this USAspending cell; the datasets are separate. Ten thousand three hundred ninety industry-extract awards are the 561720 parent action count, not a FY2024 cleaner headcount.
Reading the thick Janitorial Services parent file
10,390 is the Janitorial Services award-record count published with the industry extract, not a count of FY2024 instruments. Dividing $6,687,525,355.89 by 10,390 would mix a one-year dollar total with a multi-year row count, so this page does not publish that ratio as a typical invoice. Unique recipients are unpublished. Modifications and multi-year vehicles can add lines without adding vendors. Ten thousand three hundred ninety industry-extract awards are the 561720 parent action count, not a FY2024 cleaner headcount. Later USAspending ingests can still restate FY2024 obligations without changing the join keys.
A thick parent file makes a program split tempting; the packet still does not supply one. A thin parent file makes a named-facility story tempting; the packet still does not name facilities or contractors. 84.5% of $7,918,469,949.62 is the year share on this packet, not a performance score.
USAspending obligations on this pair
USAspending.gov records an obligation when the federal government commits funds on an award. $6,687,525,355.89 is that kind of sum for Janitorial Services in FY2024. Later deobligations, recoveries, or payment schedules can change what leaves the Treasury without this join rewriting itself into a cash register. Assistance and contract awards can share the same NAICS rollup; this packet does not split them. Net obligations can include downward adjustments. This page reports $6,687,525,355.89 as given.
Treat 10,390 as award records on the industry extract, not unique vendors and not a FY2024 headcount. Do not per-capita or per-recipient the dollar total; those denominators are unpublished. FEC contribution tables do not fund these awards. A high year share does not rank FY2024 as a cleanliness score. It is an obligation share.
Citing $6,687,525,355.89 without dropping a join side
Cite USAspending.gov: Janitorial Services (NAICS 561720) obligated $6,687,525,355.89 in FY2024. Name Janitorial Services and FY2024 together. Keep the obligation word. If /industries/561720/ or /fiscal-years/2024/ has refreshed, prefer the live hub over this snapshot for current rows. The pair is not a building census, a cleaner headcount, or a named-vendor roster. 84.5% of $7,918,469,949.62 is the industry share on this packet, not a budget score. /industries/ lists other industries; /ties/ indexes other pairs.
What this packet refuses to infer
Ten thousand three hundred ninety industry-extract awards are the 561720 parent action count, not a FY2024 cleaner headcount. Do not read janitorial as facilities-support folklore or as a building inventory. The packet names no sites. A reader who quotes 10,390 as unique companies in FY2024 has left the packet. A reader who treats 84.5% as a hardship or success ranking has added a score the table does not carry. Prefer /industries/561720/ and /fiscal-years/2024/ if the live tables moved. A high year share does not rank FY2024 as a cleanliness score. It is an obligation share.
Questions
- How much Janitorial Services spending is obligated in FY2024?
- USAspending.gov lists $6,687,525,355.89 in Janitorial Services (NAICS 561720) obligations for FY2024. That yearlyTrend amount is 84.5% of the industry's $7,918,469,949.62 extract-wide total. It is an obligation join, not an outlay and not every federal dollar in FY2024. Unique recipients are unpublished.
- Is $6,687,525,355.89 the entire Janitorial Services USAspending total?
- No. NAICS 561720's extract-wide total is $7,918,469,949.62. FY2024 is 84.5% of that book. Other fiscal-year rows for the same industry are separate cells. Do not add /industries/561720/ into this join. 10,390 award records stay on the industry extract, not on this yearlyTrend row.
- Is $6,687,525,355.89 cash already paid in FY2024?
- No. Obligations are commitments recorded on USAspending.gov awards. Outlays — money that actually left the Treasury — are a different concept and are not this packet's headline. Treating $6,687,525,355.89 as checks already cleared in FY2024 confuses those terms. Prefer the live industry and year hubs if the tables moved.
- Why not divide $6,687,525,355.89 by 10,390 awards?
- Because 10,390 is the industry-extract award-record count across years, not a FY2024-only census. Mixing that denominator with a one-year dollar total invents a typical invoice the packet does not publish. Recipients remain unpublished. USAspending.gov remains the source for NAICS 561720 in FY2024.
USAspending.gov NAICS yearlyTrend by fiscal year. Obligations are not outlays. FY figures can be incomplete for the current year.
