USAspending in California District 16, FY2024

California District 16 shows $22.4 billion in FY2024 USAspending.gov obligations on 5,262 awards. The exact obligation sum is $22,416,065,896. CA-16 is a numbered California House district, not a 90 or 98 unspecified bucket. Five thousand two hundred sixty-two awards is a thin file next to that dollar stock. The geography is place of performance. The dollars are obligations, not outlays, and the window is FY2024 only.

Key figures

  • California District 16 FY2024 obligations were $22.4 billion on 5,262 awards.
  • District 16 is a numbered House district, not a 90/98 bucket.
  • The district field is place of performance, not HQ.
  • Totals are obligations, not outlays.
  • Facts cover FY2024 only.

Few rows relative to the dollar stock

Five thousand two hundred sixty-two awards is a thin file next to $22.4 billion. That pairing is the distinctive fact on this hub: a large obligation total on a comparatively small action count. The packet still does not supply an average award size. Keep the dollar total and the row count as separate certified figures.

USAspending.gov is the source. Award records can include modifications. 5,262 is not 5,262 unique California vendors. The California District 16 hub is the table for inspecting lines; this guide certifies the rollups.

California place of performance on CA-16

Congressional district here is performance location, not recipient headquarters. A vendor based in another California district or another state can appear in the $22.4 billion if the work is tagged CA-16. A District 16 headquarters can be missing when performance is coded to California District 06, District 12, District 17, California’s 90 leftover, or another state.

This packet does not quote those other districts’ dollars. It only certifies CA-16. HQ maps of the 16th will not match this extract.

Numbered California seat versus residual codes

California District 16 is a voting House district. USAspending’s unspecified or non-voting buckets are 90 and 98. The $22.4 billion on this page is mapped to numbered code 16. Unmapped California performance, if present, would appear on a 90-coded hub.

The California 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 16 performance location in FY2024.

Obligations in a one-year window

First year and last year are both 2024. There is no CA-16 trend line in these facts. Federal fiscal years begin on October 1. The $22.4 billion figure is a FY2024 obligation stock, not a calendar-year cash total.

Outlays are payments. Obligations are commitments. SpendingVault does not recast 5,262 awards as money already disbursed inside the 16th district. Cite $22,416,065,896 as FY2024 obligations with CA-16 place of performance.

California pages beside CA-16

The California District 16 hub is the award table. The California state page is the statewide rollup and will not equal $22.4 billion. The all-districts index links to other California numbered districts and to unspecified 90/98 codes. A headquarters in the 16th without a CA-16 tag does not enter this file.

Citing the 5,262-award extract

A complete CA-16 citation names California District 16, FY2024, USAspending.gov, place of performance, obligations, $22.4 billion, and 5,262 awards. Calling the code unspecified would confuse it with district 90. Dividing dollars by awards is not a packet fact.

Keep CA-16 on its own row in any California table. Other numbered districts and any 90 leftover are separate files. What this packet supplies is CA-16 place-of-performance commitments — not outlays, not a headquarters extract, and not a multi-year series.

California District 16 can be briefed as $22.4 billion in FY2024 obligations on 5,262 awards with numbered code CA-16. The 5,262-award count is thin beside $22.4 billion. That pairing is a file-structure fact, not a unique-vendor rate and not an average award size — those figures are not in the packet. Keep other California numbered districts and any District 90 leftover on other rows. None of their totals sits inside $22.4 billion. This packet does not supply those other dollars. What it supplies is CA-16 place-of-performance commitments from USAspending.gov, not outlays, not a headquarters extract, and not a multi-year series. A headquarters in the 16th without a CA-16 tag does not enter this file. Work coded to CA-16 from a vendor based elsewhere does enter $22.4 billion. The California state page rolls all California codes and will not equal $22.4 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 $22.4 billion and 5,262 awards for CA-16 place of performance as obligations, not outlays.

California District 16 remains a numbered-seat extract: $22.4 billion in FY2024 obligations on 5,262 awards with CA-16 place of performance. Five thousand two hundred sixty-two is a thin action stock. Keep other California numbered districts and any District 90 leftover on other rows. Cite obligations, not outlays, FY2024 only, USAspending.gov.

Questions

How much federal spending is in California District 16 for FY2024?
USAspending.gov records $22.4 billion in FY2024 obligations with a California District 16 place of performance, across 5,262 awards. These are obligations, not outlays. District is performance location, not headquarters. The facts cover FY2024 only. Those figures are FY2024 USAspending obligations with CA-16 place of performance, covering 5,262 awards, not outlays and not a headquarters extract.
Is California District 16 a 90-code unspecified bucket?
No. District 16 is a numbered California congressional district. Codes 90 and 98 are USAspending’s unspecified or non-voting buckets. The $22.4 billion total is mapped to District 16. The 5,262 awards share the CA-16 performance tag. Keep $22.4 billion and 5,262 as separate certified facts from USAspending.gov for fiscal year 2024 only.
Why are there only 5,262 awards next to $22.4 billion?
That is the FY2024 award-record count for the CA-16 place-of-performance code. It is not a unique-vendor count. The packet does not publish an average award size. Keep $22.4 billion and 5,262 as separate facts. The CA-16 tag is the geography rule; an office address in California is neither required nor enough to enter the 5,262 records.
Do contractors headquartered in the 16th all appear here?
No. Only awards with CA-16 place of performance enter the $22.4 billion and 5,262-award totals. A headquarters in the district is not sufficient. Work coded to another California district or another state will appear elsewhere. Cite the figure with the obligation label, the FY2024 window, and CA-16 place of performance rather than recipient headquarters.

Congressional district is USAspending place-of-performance, not the recipient HQ. District 90/98 are USAspending unspecified/non-voting buckets.
