Security Guards and Patrol Services

NAICS 561612 · Federal Contracts & Awards

Fiscal year 2026 carries $3,824,112,315.79 in Security Guards And Patrol Services obligations on USAspending.gov (NAICS 561612). That yearlyTrend figure is 11.9% of the extract-wide $32,136,799,261.50. The page is not a guard-post map, an officer headcount, or a named-prime roster. 11,476 is the industry award-record count, not a FY2026 headcount.

Key figures

  • USAspending records $3,824,112,315.79 in Security Guards And Patrol Services FY2026 obligations (NAICS 561612).
  • That cell is 11.9% of the industry's $32,136,799,261.50 extract-wide total.
  • 11,476 is the industry extract award-record count, not a FY2026 census of guard posts, officers, or named security primes.
  • Obligations are not outlays; FEC donations do not fund this total.

Guards-and-patrol services in incomplete FY2026

This overlay exists because a NAICS table meets a fiscal-year table. $3,824,112,315.79 is the tagged sum for Security Guards And Patrol Services in FY2026. It is smaller than $32,136,799,261.50 and smaller than the FY2026 all-industry hub. Outlays are a different field and are unpublished here.

Misreading the cell as a count of posts, armed officers, or named protective-service vendors leaves the packet. No contractor names appear in the facts. A news story about the industry does not explain $3,824,112,315.79. The same NAICS 561612 appears as a FY2025 cell on this slice; do not add those two yearlyTrend rows.

FY2026 as a thin slice of the 561612 extract

Security Guards And Patrol Services is the industry label on NAICS 561612. FY2026 is one published year in that series. 11.9% describes this cell versus $32,136,799,261.50, not a score. The industry hub at /industries/561612/ drops the year filter.

The FY2026 hub at /fiscal-years/2026/ drops the NAICS filter. Quoting $3,824,112,315.79 as all federal spending that year is incorrect. Obligations are legal commitments. Fiscal year 2026 figures can be incomplete for the current year; later USAspending.gov ingests can restate the cell without changing the NAICS or year keys.

Questions

How much did Security Guards And Patrol Services obligate in FY2026?
USAspending.gov records $3,824,112,315.79 in Security Guards And Patrol Services obligations for fiscal year 2026 under NAICS 561612. That amount is a yearlyTrend obligation total, not an outlay and not the industry's $32,136,799,261.50 extract-wide sum.
Is $3,824,112,315.79 the entire 561612 USAspending total?
No. NAICS 561612's extract-wide total is $32,136,799,261.50. FY2026 is 11.9% of that book. Other fiscal-year rows for the same code are separate cells. Do not add the parent hub into this join. Obligations of $3,824,112,315.79 are not outlays.
Do 11,476 awards mean 11,476 guard posts in FY2026?
No. 11,476 is the Security Guards And Patrol Services award-record count in this extract, not a FY2026-only census of guard posts, officers, or named security primes. The packet does not split those records by fiscal year or name contractors. USAspending.gov remains the source.
Are Security Guards And Patrol Services FY2026 dollars the same as FEC contributions?
No. FEC contribution tables are a different dataset. They do not fund $3,824,112,315.79 in Security Guards And Patrol Services FY2026 obligations. This packet is USAspending yearlyTrend only, not a donor file. USAspending.gov remains the source for NAICS 561612 in FY2026.

USAspending.gov NAICS yearlyTrend by fiscal year. Obligations are not outlays. FY figures can be incomplete for the current year.
