→NAICS 541512 ($26.3B) and 541519 ($20.4B) are closely related 5415-family codes contracting officers often use alongside each other — as of the 2026-05 refresh SCOUT resolves them as distinct 6-digit scopes rather than a shared family total.
→Systems integration awards carry higher average obligations ($1.47M) than task-order-driven 541519 work ($769K) — consistent with larger, longer-duration design and integration programs.
→DoD systems design work is heavily concentrated in C4ISR, ERP modernization (GCSS-Army, DEAMS), and weapons system software — all active recompete targets.
→Civilian modernization drives large 541512 awards — GSA ($4.5B), VA ($4.1B, EHR and enterprise systems), and HHS ($2.6B) are the most active civilian buyers.
