USAspending.gov obligations in California District 43

Agencies obligated $7.4B in FY2024 on awards with California District 43 place of performance, according to USAspending.gov. The exact packet total is $7,436,000,192.55. SpendingVault cites obligations, not outlays. CA-43 is a thin extract: 3,853 awards against $7.4B, so the dollar total sits on a short row list. CA-43 is the numbered 43rd district, not district 00 (at-large) and not a 90/98 leftover.

Key figures

  • $7.4B in FY2024 obligations sits on California District 43 place of performance.
  • 3,853 awards share the CA-43 performance tag.
  • Do not mix this mapped seat with district 90, 98, or at-large 00.
  • Quote obligations, not outlays, and performance, not headquarters.

$7.4B on USAspending.gov for the 43rd district

California District 43 shows $7.4B in FY2024 USAspending.gov obligations for place of performance. The indexed total is $7,436,000,192.55 across 3,853 awards. Those dollars are award commitments, not outlays. CA-43 is a numbered House seat, not an unspecified 90 code.

Until USAspending.gov revises the extract, $7.4B and 3,853 awards are the FY2024 CA-43 stock. The packet does not publish a prior-year comparison. Quote $7.4B with the obligation label and the FY2024 window. CA-43 is a thin extract: 3,853 awards against $7.4B, so the dollar total sits on a short row list.

3,853 award actions coded to CA-43

3,853 awards is a relatively short FY2024 record count for CA-43 beside $7.4B. A compact file at this dollar scale often makes large lines easier to spot when the hub is sorted by amount. The packet still does not identify which rows dominate $7,436,000,192.55. A short list is not a unique-recipient census.

Do not treat 3,853 as 3,853 California contractors. Do not divide $7.4B by 3,853; that average is not a packet fact. Use the California District 43 hub to inspect the lines behind $7.4B. CA-43 is a thin extract: 3,853 awards against $7.4B, so the dollar total sits on a short row list.

Keeping California District 43 off leftover bins

Keep California District 43 off leftover bins. A 90 or 98 California page, if it exists, is a different geography from the 43rd district. CA-43 is numbered, not unspecified. $7.4B does not include those leftover codes. 3,853 awards are the mapped 43rd action stock for FY2024.

The all-districts index lists CA-43 next to other California seats and leftover codes. Side-by-side listing does not make those geographies the same. Stay on the California District 43 hub for $7.4B. Statewide figures live on the California page, which this packet does not reprint.

The district field on California District 43

The California District 43 page is not a directory of firms headquartered in the 43rd district. It is an obligation roll-up for awards whose performance location is coded CA-43. That is why a California company based outside District 43 can still appear, and why a local HQ can be absent. 3,853 awards follow the performance tag.

Place of performance is the geography this page uses. Recipient headquarters can sit in another California district or another state while the work is coded CA-43. The opposite pattern also appears: a District 43 address on the recipient file does not force every dollar onto this page. A recipient based outside the 43rd can still appear among the 3,853 rows if place of performance is CA-43.

Outlays are a different California product

Do not brief $7.4B as money already spent in the 43rd district. Brief it as FY2024 obligations on USAspending.gov with CA-43 place of performance. 3,853 awards are the matching action stock. Cash paid is a separate USAspending series this packet does not quote.

$7.4B is an obligation sum from FY2024 award records. Outlays are a different series. SpendingVault does not convert the California District 43 obligation total into Treasury outlays. If a California spending chart uses recipient location or calendar year 2024, it is not this page. Stay with place of performance, FY2024, and obligations when quoting $7.4B.

Using the California District 43 hub and related pages

Stay on CA-43 for the 43rd district file. Other California mapped seats have their own hubs; this packet does not quote those other figures. The all-districts index lists other California seats and unspecified buckets in the same format. A headquarters in the 43rd without a CA-43 tag does not enter this file.

The California District 43 hub is the live table for CA-43. The California page is the statewide obligation index. The all-districts index is the directory of other mapped seats and leftover codes. Quote $7.4B only with place of performance, federal FY2024, and the obligation series. CA-43 is a thin extract: 3,853 awards against $7.4B, so the dollar total sits on a short row list.

California District 43 can be quoted in one sentence: $7.4B in FY2024 USAspending.gov obligations on 3,853 awards with CA-43 place of performance. The unrounded packet total is $7,436,000,192.55. That sentence already names the series (obligations), the year (federal FY2024), the geography (place of performance, not headquarters), and the district code (CA-43, a numbered 43rd seat rather than leftover 90/98 or at-large 00). SpendingVault does not add a unique-recipient count, an agency mix, or an outlay conversion. Readers who need the underlying rows should open the California District 43 hub; readers who need statewide California should open the California page. Do not average $7.4B across 3,853 awards. Do not fold unspecified California leftover dollars into $7.4B. First year and last year in this extract are both 2024.

Questions

How should I cite California District 43 federal spending?
Cite numbered CA-43, FY2024, USAspending.gov, place of performance, obligations, $7.4B, and 3,853 awards. The exact packet sum is $7,436,000,192.55. Do not call the geography unspecified, at-large, or cash paid. The California District 43 hub is the table for those rows.
Is District 43 the same as California's statewide total?
No. The California statewide hub is a different roll-up. CA-43 is one mapped performance district. Statewide California includes other numbered seats and any 90/98 buckets. This packet does not publish that statewide sum. $7.4B stays on District 43.
Do 3,853 awards equal unique California vendors?
No. 3,853 is an award-action count. One recipient can appear many times through modifications or multiple awards. The packet does not include a unique-vendor total, so this guide does not invent one. Keep 3,853 labeled as FY2024 record volume next to $7.4B.
Does $7.4B include later fiscal years?
No. First year and last year are both 2024. $7.4B is the FY2024 place-of-performance obligation total. Do not stack FY2025 or a calendar year onto $7,436,000,192.55. 3,853 awards match that same FY2024 window on CA-43.

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