Alaska’s USAspending obligation book

Pairing $76.81B with 49,408 Alaska awards

Alaska’s packet is two columns: $76.81B in obligations and 49,408 awards, both from USAspending.gov for FY2024–2026. The dollar figure is a sum of commitment amounts. The award figure is a count of records, including modifications present in the source. Neither column is a unique-recipient census.

Because 49,408 awards sit under $76.81B, it is easy to invent an average action size. This page does not publish one. Use the Alaska spending hub tables if you need distribution; the roll-up only documents the two file totals.

Obligation versus outlay for Alaska

An obligation is a commitment on an award. An outlay is cash leaving the Treasury. Alaska’s $76.81B is the first series. SpendingVault does not convert it into the second. Using $76.81B as a proxy for checks cleared will misstate timing.

Alaska’s state budget is a separate document. It is not the source of 49,408 federal award records. Mixing General Fund tables with this $76.81B leaves the USAspending.gov award series.

Alaska’s three fiscal years

The Alaska index covers federal fiscal years 2024, 2025, and 2026. The $76.81B is their combined obligation sum. It is not a calendar-year total and not a FY2026-only figure. Federal fiscal years begin on October 1.

USAspending.gov remains open to corrections. Reloading Alaska can move $76.81B and 49,408 awards. Cite the current indexed values with the FY2024–2026 window. This packet has no ingest clock to quote.

Alaska’s $76.81B is a three-year obligation index: FY2024, FY2025, and FY2026. It is not a Juneau appropriation and not a FY2026-only rate. Federal fiscal years begin on October 1. The 49,408-award count shares that bound and will shift when USAspending.gov posts corrections.

Alaska’s 49,408 awards and $76.81B belong to FY2024–2026. Volume is not dollars. The Alaska spending hub shows both. This packet has no unique-recipient total and no agency mix.

Alaska’s $76.81B and 49,408 awards are the FY2024–2026 extract. Cite both with USAspending.gov and the obligation label. The Alaska spending hub and related tables are the structured slices when statewide numbers are too coarse.

Alaska’s $76.81B and 49,408 awards are the FY2024–2026 close. The Alaska spending hub will not relabel them as Juneau cash or as Treasury outlays.

Keep Alaska’s $76.81B labeled as USAspending.gov obligations on 49,408 awards for FY2024–2026 in every reuse.

Coverage limits on the Alaska hub

The Alaska hub does not claim every federal dollar that touches the state. It claims award obligations from USAspending.gov. Flows that never become awards sit outside $76.81B. That boundary is definitional.

If a number you expected is missing, check the series and the year before treating 49,408 rows as incomplete in their own file. This packet does not add a recipient-location rule beyond the tagged Alaska extract.

49,408 awards under $76.81B can tempt an average action size. This page does not publish one. Use the Alaska spending hub for distribution. The roll-up only documents the two file totals from USAspending.gov.

Juneau’s budget and Treasury outlays are other books. Stay with USAspending.gov obligations when you reuse $76.81B. Related views keep that unit.

Where to slice Alaska further

Agency pages, state comparisons, and per-capita rankings branch off the Alaska spending hub. They keep obligations as the unit. None of them recast $76.81B as Treasury outlays.

Follow those links when statewide Alaska is too coarse. This packet has no agency mix. The facts to reuse are $76.81B, 49,408 awards, and FY2024–2026 from USAspending.gov.

An obligation is a commitment. An outlay is cash leaving the Treasury. Alaska’s $76.81B is the first series. Mixing an outlay headline with 49,408 award rows produces a false story. Agency, comparison, and per-capita pages stay on obligations.

How to cite Alaska’s totals

Cite Alaska as $76.81B in federal obligations for FY2024–2026 from USAspending.gov award files indexed on SpendingVault, with 49,408 awards. Keep the word obligations. Do not call $76.81B cash already spent.

Any state comparison should use obligations on both sides and the same FY2024–2026 span. The Alaska spending hub, agency index, comparison tool, and per-capita rankings all stay on that basis.

Cite Alaska as $76.81B in federal obligations for FY2024–2026, USAspending.gov, SpendingVault, 49,408 awards. Keep two decimals. Keep the obligation word so $76.81B is not read as cash outlays or as the state budget.
