Wireless Telecommunications Carriers (Except Satellite)
NAICS 517210 · Federal Contracts & Awards
Wireless Telecommunications Carriers (Except Satellite) obligated $247,977,069.23 in FY2024 according to USAspending.gov (NAICS 517210). That yearlyTrend cell is 96.4% of $257,309,314.81. That yearlyTrend cell is about ninety-six percent of the NAICS 517210 extract — a disambiguated wireless-carrier year, not the 517112 recode that shares a similar title. The pair is Wireless Telecommunications Carriers (Except Satellite) and FY2024 — not every federal dollar in FY2024, not Wireless Telecommunications Carriers (Except Satellite)’s lifetime book restated as a single year, and not cash already paid. The industry parent lists 280 awards across the published extract; that count is not a FY2024-only row total. Correlation is not causation. Cite NAICS 517210 in every headline; a sibling wireless-carriers page uses 517112.
Key figures
- USAspending records $247,977,069.23 in Wireless Carriers FY2024 obligations (NAICS 517210).
- That cell is 96.4% of the industry’s $257,309,314.81 extract-wide total.
- 280 is the industry extract award-record count, not a FY2024 census of subscribers, towers, or named carriers.
- The join is NAICS 517210 × FY2024, not an outlay and not a named-recipient list.
- Cite USAspending.gov; quote NAICS 517210 and FY2024 federal spending if live tables moved.
The Wireless Carriers–FY2024 yearlyTrend cell (NAICS 517210)
The relationship is mechanical: one NAICS code, one fiscal year, one obligation sum. $247,977,069.23 is that sum for Wireless Telecommunications Carriers (Except Satellite) in 2024. It is not Wireless Telecommunications Carriers (Except Satellite) nationwide restated as a single year, not every federal dollar in FY2024, and not an outlay register. The packet does not split retail wireless from wholesale wireless inside 517210. 280 is the industry extract’s award-record count, not a FY2024-only file. Unique recipients are unpublished. This cell is not a subscriber census, a named-carrier roster, or a tower inventory.
96.4% locates FY2024 inside NAICS 517210’s $257,309,314.81 extract. A sibling slug uses NAICS 517112 under a similar wireless-carriers title. This page is 517210 only. Do not merge those cells. Do not divide $247,977,069.23 by 280 and call the result a typical FY2024 contract; the award count is extract-wide. Open NAICS 517210 for the industry table without the year filter, FY2024 federal spending for the year table without the NAICS filter, All industries for the NAICS index, and All spending ties for other pairs. Quote those hubs as parents, not as addends to $247,977,069.23.
How USAspending labels Wireless Telecommunications Carriers (517210)
USAspending labels industry 517210 as Wireless Telecommunications Carriers (Except Satellite). That code produced $247,977,069.23 when filtered to FY2024. The industry-wide 517210 hub does not require a 2024 clamp. The fiscal-year hub does not require Wireless Carriers. Only this tie applies both filters. The packet does not split retail wireless from wholesale wireless inside 517210.
Correlation is not causation: fiscal year 2024 did not cause $247,977,069.23 by existing on a calendar. Production rates, employment, and named facilities are not packet facts. The join is 517210 × FY2024 only. This cell is not a subscriber census, a named-carrier roster, or a tower inventory. 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.
