National Archives and Records Administration obligations in Security Guards And Patrol Services (NAICS 561612)

NARA × 561612 is a guard-services join, not a visitor-safety score

National Archives and Records Administration as awarding agency 088, Security Guards And Patrol Services as NAICS 561612: 22 records summing to $109,295,451.55. The pair is awarding-agency 088 crossed with NAICS 561612, not a roster of uniformed officers and not NARA’s entire records-and-facilities book. Treat the pair as a catalog intersection, not a ranking, and not a claim that 22 awards equal that many guard posts, unique firms, or named NARA facilities. A National Archives and Records Administration award coded to a different NAICS is out. A 561612 award from a different awarding agency is out even if the work sounds related.

Custom programming, construction, and other NARA industry cells sit elsewhere. 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 561612 is the industry parent. All agencies lists awarding agencies. All spending ties indexes other pairs.

22 NARA rows in the security-guard NAICS

Mean obligation is about $4.97 million if $109,295,451.55 were divided evenly across 22 lines. That ratio is a quotient of two packet facts, not a published typical award. Twenty-two awards against $109.3 million is a short guard-services file, not a post-by-post staffing table. Award count is a row count, including possible orders and modifications. It is not a census of guard posts, unique firms, or named NARA facilities.

Twenty-two awards are a record count, not a vendor roster. This page will not invent recipient names. Named archives, libraries, and guard firms are unpublished. Twenty-two awards are not twenty-two unique posts. The $109,295,451.55 total remains an obligation rollup on tagged awards. NARA’s full awarding-agency book is $860,857,433.60; mixing that parent into $109,295,451.55 invents a roll-up the packet never computed.

NARA guard obligations are not posts already staffed

An obligation is a recorded commitment. An outlay is a payment. The $109,295,451.55 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 archives, libraries, and guard firms are unpublished. Twenty-two awards are not twenty-two unique posts. Unique recipients are unpublished. Keep the obligation label on $109,295,451.55. FEC filings and USAspending awards are different datasets, even when the same vendor name appears in both systems.

What the NARA–561612 cell leaves out

The extract has no roster of guard posts, unique firms, or named NARA facilities. Facts remain $109,295,451.55, 22 awards, NAICS 561612, 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, construction, and other NARA industry cells sit elsewhere.

National Archives and Records Administration places agency 088 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 NARA’s full awarding-agency book the packet never computed. The $109,295,451.55 figure is the tagged pair only.
