National Archives and Records Administration obligations in Computer Systems Design Services (NAICS 541512)

NARA × 541512 is a systems-design join, not a catalog-rebuild census

National Archives and Records Administration as awarding agency 088, Computer Systems Design Services as NAICS 541512: 4 records summing to $53,640,784.34. The pair is awarding-agency 088 crossed with NAICS 541512, not a catalog-system rebuild score and not NARA’s thicker residual-computer (541519) book. Treat the pair as a catalog intersection, not a ranking, and not a claim that 4 awards equal that many catalog systems, unique integrators, or named NARA platforms. A National Archives and Records Administration award coded to a different NAICS is out. A 541512 award from a different awarding agency is out even if the work sounds related.

Other computer-related services (541519) and custom programming (541511) for NARA remain separate joins. 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. National Archives and Records Administration is the agency parent. NAICS 541512 is the industry parent. All agencies lists awarding agencies. All spending ties indexes other pairs.

Four NARA rows behind a $53.6 million 541512 book

Mean obligation is about $13.41 million if $53,640,784.34 were divided evenly across 4 lines. That ratio is a quotient of two packet facts, not a published typical award. Four awards against $53.6 million is a thin systems-design file: a few large vehicles, not a row per catalog. Award count is a row count, including possible orders and modifications. It is not a census of catalog systems, unique integrators, or named NARA platforms.

Four awards are a record count, not a vendor roster. This page will not invent recipient names. Named integrators and electronic-records platforms are unpublished. Four awards are not four unique NARA systems. The $53,640,784.34 total remains an obligation rollup on tagged awards. NARA’s full awarding-agency book is $860,857,433.60; mixing that parent into $53,640,784.34 invents a roll-up the packet never computed.

NARA systems-design obligations are not catalog systems already live

An obligation is a recorded commitment. An outlay is a payment. The $53,640,784.34 headline is the obligation sum, not design work 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 Computer Systems Design Services confuses two USAspending concepts. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total.

Named integrators and electronic-records platforms are unpublished. Four awards are not four unique NARA systems. Unique recipients are unpublished. Keep the obligation label on $53,640,784.34. FEC filings and USAspending awards are different datasets, even when the same vendor name appears in both systems.

What the NARA–541512 extract does not list

The extract has no roster of catalog systems, unique integrators, or named NARA platforms. Facts remain $53,640,784.34, 4 awards, NAICS 541512, and National Archives and Records Administration (agency 088). This page will not invent a contractor league table. Sibling National Archives and Records Administration × NAICS joins are separate obligation totals, not a better or worse score. Other computer-related services (541519) and custom programming (541511) for NARA remain separate joins.

National Archives and Records Administration places agency 088 among other awarding agencies. NAICS 541512 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 NARA’s full awarding-agency book the packet never computed. The $53,640,784.34 figure is the tagged pair only.

Citing National Archives with computer systems design

A clean footnote names National Archives and Records Administration (agency 088), Computer Systems Design Services (NAICS 541512), $53,640,784.34 in obligations, and 4 awards on USAspending.gov. Keep the obligation word. Mean dollars per action remain about $13.41 million. Quote National Archives and Records Administration if you need every industry under agency 088, and quote NAICS 541512 if you need the code without the NARA filter. Four awards totaling $53,640,784.34 remain a NAICS 541512 file, not a census of catalog systems, unique integrators, or named NARA platforms. Inspect named award lines on USAspending.gov rather than inferring inventories the packet omitted.
