USAspending in California District 17, FY2024

Twenty-seven thousand three hundred sixty-one award records

USAspending counts 27,361 awards with California District 17 place of performance in FY2024. Those records sum to $24.4 billion in obligations. A file this thick is almost certainly many small actions rather than 27,361 unique companies. The packet has no unique-recipient count, so 27,361 remains a stock of award actions.

Because first year and last year are both 2024, the 27,361 figure is a single-fiscal-year stock. It is not a running inventory of every award ever performed in the 17th district.

Place of performance, not an HQ census

Place of performance assigns the district. Recipient headquarters do not. Federal work coded to California’s 17th district can be performed by vendors based in other California districts or in other states. Those awards still sit in the $24.4 billion if the performance tag is CA-17.

Firms with offices inside District 17 can be missing when the work is coded to California District 06, District 12, District 16, California’s unspecified District 90 bucket, or another state. HQ lists of “17th district contractors” will not reproduce this file.

Numbered seat versus unspecified codes

California District 17 is a voting House district. USAspending’s unspecified or non-voting buckets are 90 and 98. This page’s $24.4 billion is mapped to the 17th district’s performance code. Unmapped California performance, if present, would appear on a 90-coded hub, not here.

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 17 performance location in FY2024.

Obligations, not disbursements

SpendingVault’s district totals are obligations: legal commitments recorded in USAspending. Outlays are payments. The $24.4 billion figure is the former. Contract vehicles can obligate in one year and invoice across several.

The precise FY2024 statement is that agencies obligated $24.4 billion on 27,361 awards with CA-17 place of performance. It is not a statement that $24.4 billion was paid in cash inside the district that year. FY2024 is the only year in the facts.

California pages that sit beside this hub

The California District 17 hub is the award table. The California state page is the statewide rollup. The all-districts index links to other California numbered districts and to unspecified 90/98 codes used in USAspending. A headquarters in the 17th without a CA-17 performance tag does not enter this file.

How to read a 27,361-row California file

Twenty-seven thousand three hundred sixty-one awards summing to $24.4 billion is a thick numbered-district file. That row volume is almost certainly many small actions. It is not 27,361 unique vendors. The California District 17 hub is the only place in this project to inspect the mix; the packet has no agency split.

Cite CA-17 as $24.4 billion in FY2024 USAspending obligations on 27,361 awards with numbered code CA-17. Keep other California seats and any District 90 leftover on other rows. None of their totals sits inside $24.4 billion. Obligations are not outlays. Headquarters in the 17th without a CA-17 tag does not enter this file. FY2024 is the only year in the packet. USAspending.gov is the source.

California District 17 can be briefed as $24.4 billion in FY2024 obligations on 27,361 awards with numbered code CA-17. The 27,361-award count is thick beside $24.4 billion. Treat that volume as many small actions unless the hub table shows otherwise. It is not 27,361 unique companies. Keep other California numbered districts and any District 90 leftover on other rows. None of their totals sits inside $24.4 billion. This packet does not supply those other dollars. What it supplies is CA-17 place-of-performance commitments from USAspending.gov, not outlays, not a headquarters extract, and not a multi-year series. A headquarters in the 17th without a CA-17 tag does not enter this file. Work coded to CA-17 from a vendor based elsewhere does enter $24.4 billion. The California state page rolls all California codes and will not equal $24.4 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 $24.4 billion and 27,361 awards for CA-17 place of performance as obligations, not outlays.

Questions

How much federal spending is in California District 17 for FY2024?

USAspending.gov records $24.4 billion in FY2024 obligations with a California District 17 place of performance, across 27,361 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-17 place of performance, covering 27,361 awards, not outlays and not a headquarters extract.

Why does District 17 have 27,361 awards?

That is the FY2024 award-record count for the CA-17 place-of-performance code. It is not a unique-vendor count. Those records sum to $24.4 billion in obligations. A thick file usually means many smaller actions. The packet does not break the file by agency.

Is California District 17 a 90-code unspecified bucket?

No. District 17 is a numbered California congressional district. Codes 90 and 98 are USAspending’s unspecified or non-voting buckets. The $24.4 billion total is mapped to District 17, not to those residual codes. The CA-17 tag is the geography rule; an office address in California is neither required nor enough to enter the 27,361 records.

Do contractors headquartered in the 17th district all appear here?

No. Only awards with CA-17 place of performance enter the $24.4 billion and 27,361-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-17 place of performance rather than recipient headquarters.
