Other Scientific And Technical Consulting Services federal obligations in FY2025

A two-key join: NAICS 541690 × FY2025

NAICS 541690 and fiscal year 2025 meet here. $2,460,980,931.94 is the USAspending.gov obligation sum on the yearlyTrend row that carries both tags. It is not Other Scientific And Technical Consulting Services's nationwide all-year total of $14,320,017,613.52, not every federal dollar coded to FY2025, and not an outlay register. The packet does not unbundle residual scientific and technical consulting specialties. 8,114 is an industry-extract action count: modifications and repeat awards add rows across years. Unique recipients are unpublished. This cell is not a consultant headcount, a named-firm roster, or a billed-hour ledger.

This page reports other scientific and technical consulting services activity USAspending tagged to FY2025. The headline $2,460,980,931.94 sits beside an industry-wide obligation total of $14,320,017,613.52; the 17.2% share is arithmetic on those two packet facts, not a ranking of fiscal years as winners or losers. Obligations are not outlays. Nearby consulting codes (541611, 541614) stay on other ties. Do not stack them.

Other Scientific And Technical Consulting Services as an industry code, not as a named-vendor list

USAspending labels NAICS 541690 as Other Scientific And Technical Consulting Services. That code produced $2,460,980,931.94 when crossed with fiscal year 2025. The industry-wide 541690 hub does not require a FY2025 filter. The year hub does not require Sci. & Tech Consulting. Only this tie applies both filters. The packet does not unbundle residual scientific and technical consulting specialties. FY2025 can remain open in the source note's sense. Incomplete current-year figures are expected, not an error in the join keys.

Correlation is not causation: FY2025 did not cause $2,460,980,931.94 by existing as a large or small budget year. The join is 541690 × FY2025 only. This cell is not a consultant headcount, a named-firm roster, or a billed-hour ledger. Do not invent contractors or award recipients to fill the gap. Campaign donations on FEC tables do not fund this USAspending cell; the datasets are separate. Eight thousand one hundred fourteen industry-extract awards belong to 541690 across years, not to FY2025 as a consultant census.

Row count versus FY2025 dollar concentration

8,114 is the Other Scientific And Technical Consulting Services award-record count published with the industry extract, not a count of FY2025 instruments. Dividing $2,460,980,931.94 by 8,114 would mix a one-year dollar total with a multi-year row count, so this page does not publish that ratio as a typical invoice. Unique recipients are unpublished. Modifications and multi-year vehicles can add lines without adding vendors. Eight thousand one hundred fourteen industry-extract awards belong to 541690 across years, not to FY2025 as a consultant census. FY2025 figures can be incomplete for the current year, so even the dollar cell may still move.

A thick parent file makes a program split tempting; the packet still does not supply one. A thin parent file makes a named-facility story tempting; the packet still does not name facilities or contractors. 17.2% of $14,320,017,613.52 is the year share on this packet, not a performance score.

Is $2,460,980,931.94 the entire Sci. & Tech Consulting USAspending total?

No. NAICS 541690's extract-wide total is $14,320,017,613.52. FY2025 is 17.2% of that book. Other fiscal-year rows for the same industry are separate cells. Do not add NAICS 541690 into this join. 8,114 award records stay on the industry extract, not on this yearlyTrend row.

Is $2,460,980,931.94 cash already paid in FY2025?
