USAspending in Arkansas District 90 (non-voting / unspecified)

What District 90 means in USAspending

USAspending uses 90 and 98 as unspecified or non-voting congressional-district codes on place of performance. For Arkansas, 90 is that residual bin. The FY2024 obligation sum in the bin is $22.1 billion. The award count is 3,573 — a thin file next to a large dollar stock.

Do not read AR-90 as “the 90th district of Arkansas.” Arkansas’s House seats are numbered far below 90. The code marks awards whose Arkansas performance location was not assigned to a standard numbered district field. It is a dataset bucket sitting on top of Arkansas place of performance.

Three thousand five hundred seventy-three rows in a residual file

Three thousand five hundred seventy-three awards is a defined file for a leftover geography code. Those rows still sum to a defined dollar total: $22.1 billion in FY2024 obligations. Row count is not unique vendors. The same recipient can appear on many awards.

This packet does not provide a unique-recipient count or an agency split. Use the hub table to see how the 3,573 records break out; this guide only certifies the two rollup facts and the FY2024 window.

Place of performance inside Arkansas, coded 90

Congressional district here is still place of performance, not recipient headquarters. A company based outside Arkansas can appear in the $22.1 billion if USAspending codes the work to AR-90. An Arkansas-headquartered firm can be missing if performance is coded to a numbered Arkansas district or to another state.

HQ maps of the “Arkansas market” will not match this page. The page answers a narrower question: FY2024 obligations whose performance district is the AR-90 bucket.

Obligations, not outlays, in FY2024

The $22.1 billion is an obligation total. Obligations are legal commitments recorded in USAspending. Outlays are payments. A single-year obligation stock is not a cash-flow statement for Arkansas.

First year and last year are both 2024. This hub does not contain a second fiscal year for comparison. Report the number as FY2024 obligations for AR-90 place of performance, on 3,573 awards.

Arkansas statewide and district index pages

The Arkansas state page rolls Arkansas place-of-performance activity at the state level. The AR-90 hub is this residual district code. The all-districts index lists other 90 and 98 buckets alongside numbered House districts. Those views share the same USAspending obligation source. Code 90 is a USAspending geography bucket, not a constituency voters elect.

How AR-90 sits next to numbered Arkansas seats

The Arkansas state page rolls statewide place-of-performance activity. AR-90 is narrower: 3,573 awards and $22.1 billion tagged to the unspecified 90 code. Those two views will not match dollar-for-dollar if numbered Arkansas district codes exist in the source file. This packet only certifies the 90-code rollup.

A precise AR-90 citation is $22.1 billion in FY2024 USAspending obligations on 3,573 awards with unspecified or non-voting place-of-performance code 90. That is not a House seat and not a count of unique firms in Arkansas. Vendors based outside Arkansas can sit inside the $22.1 billion when performance is coded AR-90. Arkansas-based vendors can sit outside it when performance is coded to a numbered district. Keep the $22.1 billion on a residual line in any Arkansas table. Do not fold it into a numbered Arkansas district. Obligations are commitments. Outlays are not this total. First year and last year are both 2024, so AR-90 has no trend line here.

Report AR-90 as a residual USAspending geography line, not as a constituency. $22.1 billion in FY2024 obligations on 3,573 awards is the certified rollup for unspecified or non-voting place-of-performance code 90 in Arkansas. That is not a House seat voters elect, and 3,573 is not a unique-firm count. Vendors based outside Arkansas can sit inside $22.1 billion when performance is tagged AR-90. Arkansas-based vendors can sit outside it when performance is tagged to a numbered district. The Arkansas state page is a wider grain and will not equal $22.1 billion if numbered Arkansas codes exist in the source file. Keep $22.1 billion on a leftover line in any Arkansas table. Do not fold it into a numbered district. Obligations are commitments recorded in USAspending.gov. Outlays are payments and are not this total. First year and last year are both 2024, so AR-90 has no trend line here. Later source corrections can revise both figures. Until then, cite $22.1 billion and 3,573 awards with AR-90 place of performance, FY2024 only, obligations not outlays, district 90 not a voting seat.

The $22.1 billion total is a residual geography code for Arkansas performance location on 3,573 awards.

That is the FY2024 award count USAspending ties to the AR-90 place-of-performance code. It is a record count, not a unique-vendor count. Those records sum to $22.1 billion in obligations. The packet does not break the file into agencies or award types.

If a contractor is based in Arkansas, is the award on this page?

Only if place of performance is coded AR-90. Headquarters in Arkansas is not the district field. Work performed in a numbered Arkansas district or another state will not sit in this $22.1 billion total even when the recipient’s office is in Arkansas.
