FY2024 USAspending totals for California’s 36th district

Reading CA-36’s $43.3 billion

The $43.3 billion figure is the obligation sum for awards whose USAspending place of performance is California District 36 in fiscal year 2024. A commitment on an award record is not a Treasury disbursement. California’s state budget is another book and is not this total. California District 36’s $43.3 billion is the FY2024 obligation roll-up for that mapped seat. It is not CA-28, not CA-50, and not a 90 bucket. 8,395 awards are the matching count.

This packet covers FY2024 only. First year and last year are both 2024. Federal fiscal years start on October 1. Corrections posted later on USAspending.gov can change both the $43.3 billion total and the 8,395-award count. Do not add another fiscal year to $43.3 billion. First year and last year are both 2024. Keep 8,395 awards in that window.

Performance district, not Silicon Valley HQ logic

CA-36 on SpendingVault is the place-of-performance congressional district from USAspending.gov. It is not a map of where prime contractors keep their headquarters. A performance site coded to the 36th district can appear even when the recipient’s legal address sits in another California district or another state. The 8,395 rows follow place of performance. A headquarters in another California district can still appear here if the work is coded CA-36.

Code 36 is a numbered House district. Unspecified California performance that never received a House number is stored under USAspending district 90; non-voting buckets use 98. Those residual bins are not this CA-36 page. CA-36 is a numbered House seat. Unspecified California dollars belong on a 90/98 page, not inside this $43.3 billion mapped total.

8,395 awards in the FY2024 extract

8,395 is the FY2024 award-record count for CA-36 place of performance. The extract can list modifications as separate rows. The packet does not identify unique recipients, NAICS mix, or awarding agencies.

Pair the count with $43.3 billion without dividing them. A per-award average would be an extra statistic this file does not carry. Use the district hub if you need to scan individual records rather than a derived mean.

8,395 is a record count. Modifications can add rows without adding vendors. The California District 36 hub is the table. $43.3 billion remains the FY2024 obligation roll-up for CA-36.

Keeping obligations distinct from outlays

The $43.3 billion total is the obligation series. Outlays track Treasury disbursements and can land in different years than the original award action. SpendingVault’s CA-36 copy stays on obligations so the page does not silently switch series.

A news figure that calls District 36 “federal spending” may still be using outlays, calendar years, or recipient location. Match series, year, and geography before treating a disagreement as an error in the $43.3 billion index.

Cite CA-36 as FY2024 USAspending.gov place-of-performance obligations of $43.3 billion on 8,395 awards. Do not mix that total into an outlay sheet or a headquarters ZIP extract.

California statewide and other districts

California’s state hub is the statewide obligation view. CA-36 is one mapped place-of-performance district inside that state. Statewide California is larger than District 36 by construction; this packet does not publish the statewide total.

The all-districts list uses the same USAspending place-of-performance rule. Compare CA-36 only on FY2024 obligations. This packet does not rank the 36th district among California’s other seats.

California’s other mapped districts have their own hubs. Statewide California is another page. This packet does not quote those other figures. Stay on CA-36 for the 36th district file.

Reusing California District 36 on one series

The $43.3 billion FY2024 obligation total for CA-36 is an indexed USAspending.gov statistic. SpendingVault does not convert 8,395 awards into unique firms, an agency list, or cash paid.

Align comparisons to place of performance, federal FY2024, and obligations before placing $43.3 billion next to another California column. The California state hub and the all-districts index use the same rules. California District 28 and District 50 are other mapped hubs with their own FY2024 files. CA-36’s $43.3 billion and 8,395 awards stay on this page. Do not borrow those other district totals to explain the 36th district, and do not recode this extract as outlays or headquarters location.

Questions

How much federal money is obligated in California District 36?

USAspending.gov shows $43.3 billion in FY2024 obligations for place of performance in California’s 36th district. That is not an outlay figure and not California’s state budget. 8,395 awards are counted in the same FY2024 extract. The packet window is FY2024 only.

Is CA-36 based on where the recipient company is based?

No. The district is USAspending place of performance. Headquarters in another California district, or outside California, can still appear here if the performance location is coded CA-36. A CA-36 legal address does not force every dollar onto this hub. Keep California District 36 on FY2024 obligations and place of performance; do not recode the figure as outlays.

Are District 36’s $43.3 billion outlays?

No. $43.3 billion is an obligation total from FY2024 award records. Outlays are cash leaving the Treasury. SpendingVault does not recast the CA-36 obligation sum as outlays. Keep the obligation label and the FY2024 year when the figure is reused.

How many awards are coded to California’s 36th district?

8,395 awards appear for CA-36 place of performance in FY2024. The number is a record count, including modifications, not a unique-recipient census. This packet does not divide $43.3 billion by 8,395 awards. Keep California District 36 on FY2024 obligations and place of performance; do not recode the figure as outlays.
