Software Publishers overlapping FY2025 — NAICS 513210
This page is a join: Software Publishers (NAICS 513210) and FY2025. $938,300,016.41 is the obligation sum on that pair. It is not the government-wide FY2025 total on FY2025 federal spending, not every industry’s book on All industries, and not cash already paid. FY2025 is a closed fiscal year in the yearlyTrend series used here; later ingests can still restate the cell. Correlation is not causation: a large FY2025 cell does not prove federal demand caused activity in software publishers, or the reverse.
FY2025 yearlyTrend is that fiscal year’s obligation sum tagged to NAICS 513210. A different fiscal year for the same code is a separate overlay. Calendar-year industry statistics are not this time key. NAICS 513210 is the industry parent without a year filter. FY2025 federal spending is the fiscal-year parent without this NAICS filter. All spending ties lists other pairs. Campaign-finance tables are a different dataset; donations do not fund these USAspending obligations.
Software Publishers as the industry side
NAICS 513210 is Software Publishers. The code marks software publishers. This packet lists no award recipients and no contractor names. Confusing this join with NAICS 541511 custom computer programming services or a commercial-license catalog would be a different table. Packet facts on the industry side are the name Software Publishers, code 513210, all-year obligations $2,600,436,263.27, and 8,441 awards. Any other recipient, program mix, or vendor list would be invented.
Readers sometimes treat a NAICS-year total as a budget Congress passed for a named activity. $938,300,016.41 is not that. It is the USAspending obligation rollup tagged to Software Publishers in FY2025. Sibling or neighboring codes such as NAICS 541511 custom computer programming services sit outside this cell. Cite Software Publishers and FY2025. Do not invent vendors or award recipients.
FY2025 on software-publisher rows (NAICS 513210)
Fiscal year 2025 is the yearlyTrend year key. It is not a calendar year and not a count of establishments in software publishers. Awards that carry a different year sit outside this cell even if the NAICS is still 513210. FY2025 obligations of $938,300,016.41 are about 36.1% of the industry’s $2,600,436,263.27 all-year obligation total in this extract. Do not treat the all-year $2,600,436,263.27 as if it were the FY2025 headline.
8,441 awards as an industry table, not a product census
The extract lists 8,441 awards on the Software Publishers table. That is an industry-level award-record count, not a FY2025-only census published on this packet. Dividing $938,300,016.41 by 8,441 would mix a year cell with an all-year row count, so this page does not treat that quotient as a typical FY2025 invoice. Unique vendors are unpublished. Modifications can add rows without naming a new company.
App-store rankings the join cannot support
An obligation is a legal commitment. An outlay is a payment. $938,300,016.41 is the former. Citing it as cash already cleared in FY2025 over-reads the field. The join cannot say that FY2025 specialized in software publishers because of federal demand. Keep $938,300,016.41 labeled as Software Publishers obligations in FY2025. It is not custom computer programming services, an app-store ranking, or a software-license census.
Budget justifications, trade-association yearbooks, and private market-share reports answer other questions. They are not the source of this cell. If a chart mixes NAICS 541511 custom computer programming services with NAICS 513210 in FY2025, the chart has left this join. The -2 slug disambiguates this NAICS 513210 join; product names are unpublished.
