U.S. Agency for Global Media obligations in Satellite Telecommunications (NAICS 517410)

USAGM × 517410 is a satellite-telecom join, not a broadcast-hours score

U.S. Agency for Global Media as awarding agency 514, Satellite Telecommunications as NAICS 517410: 21 records summing to $97,484,218.91. The pair is awarding-agency 514 crossed with NAICS 517410, not a count of transmitters and not USAGM’s entire media-operations book. Treat the pair as a catalog intersection, not a ranking, and not a claim that 21 awards equal that many satellites, unique carriers, or named USAGM networks. A U.S. Agency for Global Media award coded to a different NAICS is out. A 517410 award from a different awarding agency is out even if the work sounds related.

Other computer-related services (541519) for the same agency live on a different page. 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. U.S. Agency for Global Media is the agency parent. NAICS 517410 is the industry parent. All agencies lists awarding agencies. All spending ties indexes other pairs.

21 USAGM rows in the satellite NAICS

Mean obligation is about $4.64 million if $97,484,218.91 were divided evenly across 21 lines. That ratio is a quotient of two packet facts, not a published typical award. Twenty-one awards against $97.5 million is a short satellite-telecom roster, not a transponder inventory. Award count is a row count, including possible orders and modifications. It is not a census of satellites, unique carriers, or named USAGM networks.

Twenty-one awards are a record count, not a vendor roster. This page will not invent recipient names. Named networks, birds, and telecom vendors are unpublished. Twenty-one awards are not twenty-one unique satellites. The $97,484,218.91 total remains an obligation rollup on tagged awards. USAGM’s full awarding-agency book is $1,326,041,510.57; mixing that parent into $97,484,218.91 invents a roll-up the packet never computed.

USAGM satellite obligations are not transponder time already used

An obligation is a recorded commitment. An outlay is a payment. The $97,484,218.91 headline is the obligation sum, not transponder time already consumed. No fiscal year is attached in this packet, so this page does not invent one. Citing the figure as cash already sent under Satellite Telecommunications confuses two USAspending concepts. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total.

Named networks, birds, and telecom vendors are unpublished. Twenty-one awards are not twenty-one unique satellites. Unique recipients are unpublished. Keep the obligation label on $97,484,218.91. FEC filings and USAspending awards are different datasets, even when the same vendor name appears in both systems.

What the USAGM–517410 extract omits

The extract has no roster of satellites, unique carriers, or named USAGM networks. Facts remain $97,484,218.91, 21 awards, NAICS 517410, and U.S. Agency for Global Media (agency 514). This page will not invent a contractor league table. Sibling U.S. Agency for Global Media × NAICS joins are separate obligation totals, not a better or worse score. Other computer-related services (541519) for the same agency live on a different page.

U.S. Agency for Global Media places agency 514 among other awarding agencies. NAICS 517410 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 USAGM’s full awarding-agency book the packet never computed. The $97,484,218.91 figure is the tagged pair only.

Citing Global Media with NAICS 517410

A clean footnote names U.S. Agency for Global Media (agency 514), Satellite Telecommunications (NAICS 517410), $97,484,218.91 in obligations, and 21 awards on USAspending.gov. Keep the obligation word. Mean dollars per action remain about $4.64 million. Quote U.S. Agency for Global Media if you need every industry under agency 514, and quote NAICS 517410 if you need the code without the USAGM filter. Twenty-one awards totaling $97,484,218.91 remain a NAICS 517410 file, not a census of satellites, unique carriers, or named USAGM networks. Inspect named award lines on USAspending.gov rather than inferring inventories the packet omitted.
