Are Florida vs Missouri figures Treasury outlays?

No. SpendingVault uses USAspending.gov obligations. Outlays are cash payments and can lag. The $22.7B and $10.4B stacked totals and FY2026 amounts of $3.8B and $1.6B measure award commitments by place of performance, not Monthly Treasury Statement payments. Place of performance can differ from where the paying agency sits.
