About NAICS 541612 federal contract activity
NAICS 541612 recorded 730.32 million in obligated spending across 1,767 awards in the last full year, with an average award value of 413,308.94. The code covers human resources consulting services and, under the older classification, human resources and executive search consulting services. The award profile indicates a high-volume market with moderate-sized obligations relative to total spend.
Agency demand and leading federal buyers
DEPT OF THE ARMY dominated activity in this NAICS, accounting for 275.35 million across 211 awards, or well over one-third of total obligated dollars. The next largest agencies were AGENCY FOR INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT, INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE, U.S. CUSTOMS AND BORDER PROTECTION, and NATIONAL AERONAUTICS AND SPACE ADMINISTRATION, each contributing materially smaller but still meaningful shares of spend. This distribution suggests broad federal demand, with the Army serving as the principal buyer.
Vendor concentration and leading contractors
SERCO INC. was the leading vendor with 68.21 million across 19 awards, followed by STRATEGIC RESOURCES, INC. at 51.42 million across 21 awards. 360 PATRIOT ENTERPRISES LLC, IT CONCEPTS, INC., and BOOZ ALLEN HAMILTON INC. also ranked among the top recipients, indicating a mix of incumbents and recurring service providers. No single vendor approaches a majority share of obligations, which points to a competitive and distributed vendor base.
Annual contract trend over the analysis window
The annual trend shows 2025 as the full-year period captured in this analysis, with 730.32 million obligated across 1,767 awards. Because only one year is present, the dataset supports a level view rather than a multi-year directionally trendable series. The period nonetheless provides a reliable baseline for current market size and award volume under this NAICS.
