USAspending in Alabama District 01, FY2024

Twenty-five thousand two hundred six award records

USAspending counts 25,206 awards with Alabama District 01 place of performance in FY2024. Those records sum to $16.9 billion in obligations. A file this thick is almost certainly many small actions rather than 25,206 unique companies. The packet has no unique-recipient count, so 25,206 remains a stock of award actions.

Because first year and last year are both 2024, the 25,206 figure is a single-fiscal-year stock. It is not a running inventory of every award ever performed in the 1st district.

Place of performance, not an HQ census

Place of performance assigns the district. Recipient headquarters do not. Federal work coded to Alabama’s 1st district can be performed by vendors based in other Alabama districts or in other states. Those awards still sit in the $16.9 billion if the performance tag is AL-01.

Firms with offices inside District 01 can be missing when the work is coded to Alabama District 02, to Alabama’s unspecified District 90 bucket, or to another state. HQ lists of “1st district contractors” will not reproduce this file.

Numbered seat versus unspecified codes

Alabama District 01 is a voting House district. USAspending’s unspecified or non-voting buckets are 90 and 98. This page’s $16.9 billion is mapped to the 1st district’s performance code. Unmapped Alabama performance, if present, would appear on a 90-coded hub, not here.

The Alabama state page mixes numbered districts and any residual codes. Use that page for a statewide place-of-performance total. Use this page when the question is specifically District 01 performance location in FY2024.

Obligations, not disbursements

SpendingVault’s district totals are obligations: legal commitments recorded in USAspending. Outlays are payments. The $16.9 billion figure is the former. Contract vehicles can obligate in one year and invoice across several.

The precise FY2024 statement is that agencies obligated $16.9 billion on 25,206 awards with AL-01 place of performance. It is not a statement that $16.9 billion was paid in cash inside the district that year. FY2024 is the only year in the facts.

Alabama pages that sit beside this hub

The Alabama District 01 hub is the award table. The Alabama state page is the statewide rollup. The all-districts index links to other Alabama numbered districts and to unspecified 90/98 codes used in USAspending. A headquarters in the 1st without an AL-01 performance tag does not enter this file.

How to read a 25,206-row Alabama file

Twenty-five thousand two hundred six awards summing to $16.9 billion is a thick numbered-district file. That row volume is almost certainly many small actions. It is not 25,206 unique vendors. The Alabama District 01 hub is the only place in this project to inspect the mix; the packet has no agency split.

Cite AL-01 as $16.9 billion in FY2024 USAspending obligations on 25,206 awards with numbered code AL-01. Keep other Alabama seats and any District 90 leftover on other rows. None of their totals sits inside $16.9 billion. Obligations are not outlays. Headquarters in the 1st without an AL-01 tag does not enter this file. FY2024 is the only year in the packet. USAspending.gov is the source.

Alabama District 01 can be briefed as $16.9 billion in FY2024 obligations on 25,206 awards with numbered code AL-01. The 25,206-award count is thick beside $16.9 billion. Treat that volume as many small actions unless the hub table shows otherwise. It is not 25,206 unique companies. Keep other Alabama numbered districts and any District 90 leftover on other rows. None of their totals sits inside $16.9 billion. This packet does not supply those other dollars. What it supplies is AL-01 place-of-performance commitments from USAspending.gov, not outlays, not a headquarters extract, and not a multi-year series. A headquarters in the 1st without a AL-01 tag does not enter this file. Work coded to AL-01 from a vendor based elsewhere does enter $16.9 billion. The Alabama state page rolls all Alabama codes and will not equal $16.9 billion. FY2024 is the only year in the facts. Federal FY2024 starts October 1. Later USAspending corrections can revise both the dollar sum and the award count. Until a later extract, report $16.9 billion and 25,206 awards for AL-01 place of performance as obligations, not outlays.

Questions

How much federal spending is in Alabama District 01 for FY2024?

USAspending.gov records $16.9 billion in FY2024 obligations with an Alabama District 01 place of performance, across 25,206 awards. These are obligations, not outlays. District is performance location, not headquarters. The facts cover FY2024 only. Those figures are FY2024 USAspending obligations with AL-01 place of performance, covering 25,206 awards, not outlays and not a headquarters extract.

Why does District 01 have 25,206 awards?

That is the FY2024 award-record count for the AL-01 place-of-performance code. It is not a unique-vendor count. Those records sum to $16.9 billion in obligations. A thick file usually means many smaller actions. The packet does not break the file by agency.

Is Alabama District 01 a 90-code unspecified bucket?

No. District 01 is a numbered Alabama congressional district. Codes 90 and 98 are USAspending’s unspecified or non-voting buckets. The $16.9 billion total is mapped to District 01, not to those residual codes. The AL-01 tag is the geography rule; an office address in Alabama is neither required nor enough to enter the 25,206 records.

Do contractors headquartered in the 1st district all appear here?

No. Only awards with AL-01 place of performance enter the $16.9 billion and 25,206-award totals. A headquarters in the district is not sufficient. Work coded to another Alabama district or another state will appear elsewhere. Cite the figure with the obligation label, the FY2024 window, and AL-01 place of performance rather than recipient headquarters.
