NASA obligations in R&D except biotechnology (NAICS 541712)

Why agency 080 and Research And Development In The Physical, Engineering, And Life Sciences (Except Biotechnology) share a page

National Aeronautics and Space Administration pages without a NAICS mix every industry. Industry pages without agency 080 mix every awarding agency. The overlap is $34,485,478,720.90 across 647 awards. 647 awards in the older except-biotechnology R&D code sum to $34,485,478,720.90. Do not merge this cell with NAICS 541715.

NAICS 541712 is Research And Development In The Physical, Engineering, And Life Sciences (Except Biotechnology) as stored. Neighboring R&D or services codes are other keys. Naics 541715 or 541710, a biotech grant, or cash already paid would be a different dataset or a different code.

Keep $258,227,646,381.10 on the agency hub and keep the industry hub for NAICS 541712 without an National Aeronautics and Space Administration filter. The overlap — and only the overlap — is $34,485,478,720.90.

National Aeronautics and Space Administration without mixing other awarding agencies

Agency 080 is the only awarding-agency identifier on this page. Other agencies that buy in Research And Development In The Physical, Engineering, And Life Sciences (Except Biotechnology) keep their own codes and their own ties. Do not add them to $34,485,478,720.90.

NAICS 541712 excepts biotechnology only, a different exclusion than 541715’s nano-and-bio cut. Six hundred forty-seven NASA awards sit in this older R&D code. Do not merge the two NAICS cells. $258,227,646,381.10 is the National Aeronautics and Space Administration parent in this packet, about 13.4% of which sits in NAICS 541712 by arithmetic on the two dollar facts.

Research And Development In The Physical, Engineering, And Life Sciences (Except Biotechnology) without merging sibling codes

Sibling R&D codes (541710, 541712, 541715) and sibling services codes are other keys when those digits differ. This file uses 541712 only. Merging codes would invent a super-industry the packet does not define.

NAICS 541712 excepts biotechnology only, a different exclusion than 541715’s nano-and-bio cut. Six hundred forty-seven NASA awards sit in this older R&D code. Do not merge the two NAICS cells. Keep 541712 in the title-line citation so a neighboring code is not substituted.

Commitments versus cash paid

Outlays — money that actually left the Treasury — are a different concept and are not this packet’s headline. Treating $34,485,478,720.90 as checks already cleared confuses those terms.

Do not annualize without a year field in the packet. Do not per-recipient the dollar total; unique recipients are unpublished. Mean about $53,300,585 uses 647 award records as the denominator.

Correlation is not causation

National Aeronautics and Space Administration did not “cause” $34,485,478,720.90 by existing, and NAICS 541712 did not “cause” National Aeronautics and Space Administration to award. The join reports overlap. 647 awards in the older except-biotechnology R&D code sum to $34,485,478,720.90. Do not merge this cell with NAICS 541715.

Population, outcome scores, and named facilities are not packet facts. The join is 080 × 541712 only.

Related tables

Open National Aeronautics and Space Administration for awarding agency 080 without a NAICS filter. Open NAICS 541712 for the industry without an National Aeronautics and Space Administration filter. Open All agencies and All spending ties for indexes. Quote those hubs as parents.

Repeat the join without adding fields the packet does not publish. Unique recipients stay unpublished. Outlays stay unpublished.

Read the four internal links as parents, not as extra dollars. National Aeronautics and Space Administration is the awarding-agency overlay for code 080. NAICS 541712 is the industry overlay without an National Aeronautics and Space Administration filter. All agencies is the code index. All spending ties is the two-key index. None of those pages should be added into $34,485,478,720.90. The harvested cell is already the overlap of agency 080 and NAICS 541712.

A researcher quoting this join in one sentence can use: National Aeronautics and Space Administration, awarding agency 080, Research And Development In The Physical, Engineering, And Life Sciences (Except Biotechnology), NAICS 541712, obligations $34,485,478,720.90, award count 647, agency parent $258,227,646,381.10 (about 13.4% of that parent by arithmetic). That sentence uses only packet facts. It still names no recipients, no fiscal year, no outlays, and no FEC donors. If any of those fields is required, this JSON file is the wrong object.

Questions

How much National Aeronautics and Space Administration spending is coded to Research And Development In The Physical, Engineering, And Life Sciences (Except Biotechnology)?

USAspending.gov lists $34,485,478,720.90 in National Aeronautics and Space Administration (agency 080) obligations across 647 awards tagged NAICS 541712. The agency parent in this packet is $258,227,646,381.10. The pair is an obligation join, not an outlay. Unique recipients are unpublished. Average obligation is about $53,300,585, a ratio of those two facts only.

Does $34,485,478,720.90 include every National Aeronautics and Space Administration program in this industry?

The packet publishes one awarding-agency × NAICS rollup. Research And Development In The Physical, Engineering, And Life Sciences (Except Biotechnology) is the stored industry title for 541712. Neighboring NAICS codes are other ties. $34,485,478,720.90 is the combined obligation sum for agency 080 inside this code. This page will not invent a program pie. 647 remains an action count, not a program count.

Is $34,485,478,720.90 cash already paid?

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 $34,485,478,720.90 as checks already cleared confuses those terms. Later ingests can revise 647 awards. Prefer the overlay if the table moved.

What two tables meet on this page?

National Aeronautics and Space Administration (awarding agency 080) and Research And Development In The Physical, Engineering, And Life Sciences (Except Biotechnology) (NAICS 541712). The overlap is $34,485,478,720.90 across 647 awards. All agencies and All spending ties list sibling joins. Original records remain at USAspending.gov.
