National Archives and Records Administration obligations in Other Computer Related Services (NAICS 541519)

NARA × 541519 is a residual-computer join, not an electronic-records inventory

National Archives and Records Administration as awarding agency 088, Other Computer Related Services as NAICS 541519: 121 records summing to $153,321,766.34. The pair is awarding-agency 088 crossed with NAICS 541519, not an electronic-records inventory and not NARA’s custom-programming or systems-design cells. Treat the pair as a catalog intersection, not a ranking, and not a claim that 121 awards equal that many record systems, unique vendors, or named NARA platforms. A National Archives and Records Administration award coded to a different NAICS is out. A 541519 award from a different awarding agency is out even if the work sounds related.

Custom programming (541511) and systems design (541512) 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 541519 is the industry parent. All agencies lists awarding agencies. All spending ties indexes other pairs.

121 NARA rows in the 541519 computer-services bin

Mean obligation is about $1.27 million if $153,321,766.34 were divided evenly across 121 lines. That ratio is a quotient of two packet facts, not a published typical award. One hundred twenty-one awards against $153.3 million is a mid-thick residual-IT book versus NARA’s $860.9 million parent, still not a row per series. Award count is a row count, including possible orders and modifications. It is not a census of record systems, unique vendors, or named NARA platforms.

One hundred twenty-one awards are a record count, not a vendor roster. This page will not invent recipient names. Named vendors and electronic-records platforms are unpublished. One hundred twenty-one awards are not one hundred twenty-one unique systems. The $153,321,766.34 total remains an obligation rollup on tagged awards. NARA’s full awarding-agency book is $860,857,433.60; mixing that parent into $153,321,766.34 invents a roll-up the packet never computed.

NARA 541519 dollars are not electronic records already stored

An obligation is a recorded commitment. An outlay is a payment. The $153,321,766.34 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 electronic-records platforms are unpublished. One hundred twenty-one awards are not one hundred twenty-one unique systems. Unique recipients are unpublished. Keep the obligation label on $153,321,766.34. FEC filings and USAspending awards are different datasets, even when the same vendor name appears in both systems.

What the NARA–541519 extract omits

The extract has no roster of record systems, unique vendors, or named NARA platforms. Facts remain $153,321,766.34, 121 awards, NAICS 541519, 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. Custom programming (541511) and systems design (541512) for NARA remain separate joins.

National Archives and Records Administration places agency 088 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 NARA’s full awarding-agency book the packet never computed. The $153,321,766.34 figure is the tagged pair only.

Citing National Archives with other computer related services

A clean footnote names National Archives and Records Administration (agency 088), Other Computer Related Services (NAICS 541519), $153,321,766.34 in obligations, and 121 awards on USAspending.gov. Keep the obligation word. Mean dollars per action remain about $1.27 million. Quote National Archives and Records Administration if you need every industry under agency 088, and quote NAICS 541519 if you need the code without the NARA filter. One hundred twenty-one awards totaling $153,321,766.34 remain a NAICS 541519 file, not a census of record systems, unique vendors, or named NARA platforms. Inspect named award lines on USAspending.gov rather than inferring inventories the packet omitted.
