Illinois 10th District

490,337 lines behind $6.9B on IL-10

490,337 is the FY2024 record count for IL-10 place of performance beside $6.9B. A file this thick usually mixes contracts, assistance actions, and modifications; each can add a line. The packet does not publish unique recipients, so 490,337 is not a vendor census of Illinois. A high award count does not by itself prove many small actions or a few large ones — this packet has no size table.

Do not divide $6.9B by 490,337. That quotient is not in the packet. Keep the dollar total and the row count as separate facts and use the Illinois District 10 hub to inspect lines. Modifications can add rows without turning the extract into a unique-firm list. Illinois’s 10th district file is an action stock, not a headcount of local companies.

Why IL-10 is not a contractor HQ list

IL-10 dollars are tagged by where USAspending records performance, not by where a firm files its HQ. That split matters for $6.9B: work performed in the 10th district can land here even if the vendor sits elsewhere. Work performed outside the 10th does not enter this file merely because a headquarters is local. Recipient-location maps are a different cut from this $6.9B file.

Even for a numbered Illinois seat, the district field is still place of performance, not recipient headquarters. A contractor based in another Illinois district or another state can appear on IL-10 if the performance location is coded to the 10th. A 10th-district headquarters can post dollars to another district when performance is coded there. The 490,337 rows follow that field.

Questions

Why does Illinois District 10 have 490,337 awards?

490,337 is the FY2024 record count for IL-10 place of performance. A file this thick usually includes contracts, assistance actions, and modifications, each of which can add a row. The matching obligation total is $6.9B ($6,926,249,502.86). The packet does not publish unique recipients, so 490,337 is not a census of 10th-district firms.

Is IL-10 the same as Illinois District 08?

No. IL-10 is numbered District 10. Illinois District 08 is a different mapped seat with its own obligation file. District 90 is unspecified leftover and District 98 is the non-voting bucket. Keep $6.9B and 490,337 awards on the 10th district hub. Do not merge those figures into another Illinois district page.

Does a listing on IL-10 mean the contractor is headquartered in the 10th?

No. The district field is place of performance. Recipients based outside the 10th can still appear if the work is tagged IL-10. A 10th-district headquarters can map dollars to another district when performance is coded there. 490,337 awards follow the performance field, not HQ.

Is $6.9B cash paid in Illinois District 10?

No. $6.9B is an obligation sum from FY2024 award records. Outlays are a different series. SpendingVault does not convert the Illinois District 10 obligation total into Treasury outlays. Cite the figure with the obligation label, the FY2024 window, and IL-10 place of performance.
