Key figures

  • Arkansas’s indexed obligations are $108.16B for FY2024–2026.
  • USAspending.gov files count 232,655 awards for Arkansas in that span.
  • The $108.16B is obligations, not Treasury outlays.
  • The Arkansas hub is an award-file index, not the state budget.

Arkansas’s $108.16B obligation aggregate

The $108.16B Arkansas total is a sum of obligation amounts on USAspending.gov awards for FY2024–2026. An obligation is a federal commitment on an award. It is not an outlay and not a Little Rock budget line. SpendingVault does not recode $108.16B as cash already paid.

Keep the two-decimal form when you reuse the number. A rounded slogan would leave the indexed extract. Beside the dollars, the file counts 232,655 awards. Both statistics come from USAspending.gov as indexed here.

232,655 awards on the Arkansas file

232,655 awards is a record tally. Modifications and assistance actions in the source increment it. The number is not a census of unique Arkansas recipients, and this packet does not publish one. Dollars and rows answer different questions.

The Arkansas spending hub shows $108.16B next to 232,655 awards so neither column is inferred from the other. This summary does not invent a typical award size from those two facts.

The three-year Arkansas window

Arkansas’s posted totals combine federal fiscal years 2024, 2025, and 2026. The $108.16B is a window sum. It is not a calendar-year stack and not a FY2026-only number. Federal fiscal years start on October 1.

Late actions in USAspending.gov can change $108.16B and 232,655 awards after a reload. Cite the current index and the three-year label. This packet does not include a download date.

Arkansas’s $108.16B is stacked from FY2024, FY2025, and FY2026 obligation amounts on USAspending.gov awards. That is a three-year index, not a calendar-year pile and not a Little Rock budget. Federal fiscal years begin on October 1. The 232,655-award count uses the same window and will shift when the file is corrected.

Arkansas’s 232,655 awards and $108.16B are FY2024–2026 USAspending.gov totals. They are not a Little Rock budget. The Arkansas spending hub keeps dollars and rows as separate columns. This packet does not invent a typical award size.

Arkansas’s $108.16B and 232,655 awards belong to FY2024–2026. Keep the federal fiscal-year label so the sum is not read as calendar years. The Arkansas spending hub and related pages stay on USAspending.gov obligations, not outlays.

Limits of the Arkansas roll-up

The Arkansas hub is an award-obligation index. Federal flows that never appear as awards sit outside $108.16B. Stretching 232,655 rows to cover every federal presence in Arkansas would invent coverage the files do not claim.

If a chart of Arkansas federal spending uses a different magnitude, check whether it used outlays or another year. Do not paste that chart onto $108.16B. Stay with USAspending.gov obligations for FY2024–2026.

Record count and dollars answer different questions. 232,655 awards describe how many rows were written. $108.16B describes how much was committed. Inferring a typical Arkansas award size from those two facts would invent a statistic this packet does not include.

If an Arkansas headline quotes cash already paid, it is not quoting $108.16B. Keep the obligation label. Agency, comparison, and per-capita pages on this site do the same.

Related Arkansas pages

Agency lists, state comparisons, and per-capita rankings are available from the Arkansas spending hub. They keep the obligation definition. None convert $108.16B into Treasury outlays or into Arkansas’s state budget.

Putting Arkansas’s figures in a note

A complete Arkansas note names $108.16B in federal obligations, FY2024–2026, USAspending.gov award files indexed on SpendingVault, and 232,655 awards. Keep the obligation wording. Do not call $108.16B cash already paid.

State comparisons should use obligations on every side and the FY2024–2026 window. The Arkansas spending hub, agency index, comparison tool, and per-capita rankings all follow that rule.

Cite Arkansas as $108.16B in federal obligations for FY2024–2026 from USAspending.gov files indexed on SpendingVault, covering 232,655 awards. Keep two decimals. Keep the obligation label so $108.16B is not read as cash already paid.
