National Science Foundation obligations in NAICS 541611 management consulting

NSF × 541611 is a consulting join, not a proposal census

National Science Foundation's published agency total is $41,750,201,192.18. This NAICS 541611 cell is $380,286,451.48, or 0.91% of that book. The join is awarding agency 049 crossed with NAICS 541611, not the $41,750,201,192.18 NSF agency total. The remainder $41,369,914,740.70 is other industries on the National Science Foundation hub, not a mystery residual this page can name. Subtracting the join from the agency total is arithmetic on packet facts, not a new disclosure.

Two hundred twenty-nine award records produced the slice. Two hundred twenty-nine records is a thicker consulting file than NSF's IT cells in this slice. The packet never converts 229 into unique vendors, offices, or people. Naming a contractor would be invention. Modifications can inflate the row count without inflating the set of firms.

541511 and 541512 are NSF IT siblings

Agency 049 is National Science Foundation. Other 541611 pages (Education, EPA, SEC, MCC) are other awarding agencies. NAICS 541611 without the National Science Foundation filter is a different dollar total. All agencies and All spending ties are catalogs. None of them should be summed into $380,286,451.48. Keep agency 049 on the citation so a same-named department under another code cannot collide.

Custom programming (541511) and computer systems design (541512) are NSF IT joins, not 541611. The join is awarding agency 049 crossed with NAICS 541611, not the $41,750,201,192.18 NSF agency total. Management consulting at NSF is administrative NAICS 541611, not a count of funded research projects. The industry string on the file is Administrative Management And General Management Consulting Services. Neighboring titles that sound similar remain other keys unless they also carry 541611.

229 awards without a firm list

About $1.66 million per award is $380,286,451.48 divided by 229. That ratio is a scale check. It is not a posted rate, a median task order, or a typical invoice. No fiscal-year series appears in the facts, so this page does not assign $380,286,451.48 to a single FY.

Consulting obligations are not reviews completed

Commitments are not payments. $380,286,451.48 can move when awards are modified or cancelled. Outlays are unpublished. Campaign-finance tables on FEC.gov do not pay USAspending obligations; do not write a funding story that stitches the two. Quote 229 as records.

Citing 049 × 541611

Footnote both nouns: National Science Foundation and Administrative Management And General Management Consulting Services. Point to the National Science Foundation hub, NAICS 541611, All agencies, and All spending ties. Management consulting at NSF is administrative NAICS 541611, not a count of funded research projects. Leave recipient names off; the packet did not publish them. Readers who reuse this agency-industry snapshot should keep both sides of the join in the same sentence, cite USAspending.gov as the source, and treat award rows as records rather than unique vendors. The live hubs linked from this page can refresh the snapshot; this narrative does not invent a fiscal year, a recipient list, or an outlay total that the packet omitted. Keep the obligation word on the headline dollar figure in every footnote. Do not annualize the obligation sum; this packet publishes no fiscal-year series. Award modifications can sit beside base records in the same row count. Parent agency and industry tables remain on the hubs linked from this page. Campaign-finance receipts are a different dataset and do not fund these awards. Place of performance and recipient headquarters are unpublished on this packet, so this page does not relocate the dollars. A later USAspending ingest can restate the join without changing the two-field definition of awarding agency plus NAICS. Do not convert the award-record count into employment, establishments, or unique vendors.
