South Carolina 5th District

16,908 awards in SC-05’s FY2024 file

16,908 awards is the FY2024 record count for SC-05 place of performance. That is a high action count next to $6.5B, but it is still a row stock, not a headcount of South Carolina firms. The packet does not list unique recipients or an agency mix. Modifications and assistance actions can each add a line.

Do not treat 16,908 as 16,908 local companies. One recipient can appear many times. This page will not publish an average award as if USAspending printed one. Sort the South Carolina District 05 hub by amount to see whether $6.5B is spread across many lines or concentrated. First year and last year are both 2024.

Place of performance on SC-05, not contractor HQ

USAspending.gov tags SC-05 by where performance is recorded, not by where a vendor keeps its legal address. Work performed in the 5th district can land inside $6.5B even if the contractor is headquartered in another South Carolina seat or another state. Work performed outside the 5th does not enter this extract merely because a firm has a local office.

That split is the reason a reader can see an out-of-district name on the hub table. The 16,908 rows follow the performance field. A 5th-district headquarters can also post dollars to another district when the performance location is coded there. SpendingVault does not recast SC-05 as a roster of firms that live in the 5th.

Questions

How many awards are in South Carolina District 05’s FY2024 file?

The FY2024 extract lists 16,908 awards with SC-05 place of performance. That count is record volume, not unique vendors. The matching obligation total is $6.5B ($6,524,522,377.16). Modifications and assistance actions can each add a row. The packet does not publish a unique-recipient total.

Is SC-05 a USAspending leftover 90 or 98 code?

No. District 90 is the unspecified leftover and District 98 is the non-voting bucket. SC-05 is numbered District 05, a voting House seat. At-large 00 is used for single-district states, not South Carolina. Keep $6.5B on the mapped 5th page. 16,908 awards share the SC-05 tag, not 90, 98, or 00.

Does an SC-05 listing mean the contractor is headquartered in the 5th?

No. The district field is place of performance. Recipients based outside the 5th can still appear if the performance location is coded to SC-05. A 5th-district headquarters can also map dollars to another district when performance is coded there. 16,908 awards follow the performance field, not HQ.

Is $6.5B the amount Treasury paid out in South Carolina District 05?

No. $6.5B is an obligation sum from FY2024 award records. Outlays are a different series. SpendingVault does not convert the South Carolina District 05 obligation total into Treasury outlays. Cite the figure with the obligation label, the FY2024 window, and SC-05 place of performance. 16,908 awards are the matching record count.
