Other scientific and technical consulting services in the District of Columbia (NAICS 541690)

Five hundred fifty-five residual scientific-consulting awards in the District carry $107.0 million. 555 USAspending.gov awards coded to Other Scientific And Technical Consulting Services (NAICS 541690) and District of Columbia place of performance carry $106,955,670.97 in federal obligations. 555 awards against $107.0 million is a mid-scale residual-consulting book: hundreds of actions rather than a single vehicle. Mean obligation per award is about $192,713. The join is NAICS 541690 plus District of Columbia, not an architecture total, a general-management-consulting census, or every Beltway advisory firm.

NAICS 541690 and the District as a residual-consulting join

This page intersects one six-digit industry and one state. $106,955,670.97 is the obligation sum where both filters are true. NAICS 541690 is other scientific and technical consulting services, the residual consulting code after environmental and similar specific titles. It is not a statewide spending total and not a national NAICS 541690 total. Those parent tables live on District of Columbia federal spending and NAICS 541690.

555 awards against $107.0 million is a mid-scale residual-consulting book: hundreds of actions rather than a single vehicle. 555 is an award-record count. Modifications can sit beside base awards. The packet does not say how many unique vendors produced the 555 lines. Reading 555 as factories, ships, or clinics in District of Columbia would confuse actions with establishments.

District of Columbia industries lists other NAICS codes with DC place of performance. All spending ties indexes other state–industry pairs. Do not sum those indexes into $106,955,670.97. The headline remains $106,955,670.97 on 555 awards for this pair alone.

Other sci-tech consulting, not architecture or 541611

NAICS 541690 is a Census industry code assigned on the award. NAICS 541690 is other scientific and technical consulting services, the residual consulting code after environmental and similar specific titles. Architectural services (541310) and administrative management consulting (541611) are different 541 codes, including other joins in this slice. Those neighboring codes never enter $106,955,670.97 unless they also appear as 541690, which they do not. Keep the six-digit label when you cite the District of Columbia cell.

Residual scientific consulting mixes leftover specialties as classified. Do not treat it as the District’s entire 541-series book. Dividing $106,955,670.97 by 555 produces about $192,713. That quotient is arithmetic, not a typical District of Columbia contract. There is no median, no top-award table, and no fiscal-year breakout on this packet. Do not treat the mean as a posted unit price.

District geography on a 541690 cell

District of Columbia place of performance is not Maryland or Virginia. It also does not split downtown from a named campus. The DC tag is the District alone. Inside the DC tag, a named federal campus, a downtown advisory office, or a reporting address are not broken out. The packet has one state key. A named city can sit inside $106,955,670.97 only if its awards carry NAICS 541690 and DC — which this narrative cannot verify.

Place-of-performance geography is not the same as contractor headquarters. A firm based elsewhere can perform in District of Columbia, and a District of Columbia address can appear on work done out of state. This join reports the coded pair, not a logistics map. District of Columbia federal spending remains the statewide parent.

Obligations versus outlays for District 541690

USAspending obligations are commitments, not checks that have cleared. $106,955,670.97 can include amounts that will be paid later, cancelled, or modified. The packet does not publish outlays. 555 is not a payment count. Quote NAICS 541690 in District of Columbia as obligations and leave fiscal-year folklore off the citation — years are unpublished here.

What the 541690–District pair does not prove

The scientific consulting–District of Columbia pair does not prove that District of Columbia specialized in this industry because of federal demand, or the reverse. Residual scientific consulting mixes leftover specialties as classified. Do not treat it as the District’s entire 541-series book. Campaign-finance tables are a different dataset; donations do not fund these awards. Keep both sides of the join in any headline: NAICS 541690 and District of Columbia.

Point readers to District of Columbia federal spending, NAICS 541690, District of Columbia industries, and All spending ties rather than collapsing those pages into this cell. Mean per award stays about $192,713 as a ratio only.
