USAspending in Colorado District 01, FY2024

Colorado District 01 recorded $8.9 billion in FY2024 USAspending.gov obligations on 18,032 awards with 1st-district place of performance. The exact sum is $8,856,542,820.99. CO-01 is a numbered House district, not a 90/98 unspecified bucket. The figures are obligations, not outlays, and the packet year range is FY2024 only.

Key figures

  • Colorado District 01 FY2024 obligations were $8.9 billion on 18,032 awards.
  • District 01 is a numbered House district, not a 90/98 unspecified bucket.
  • The district field is place of performance, not HQ.
  • Totals are obligations, not outlays.
  • Facts cover FY2024 only.

Eighteen thousand thirty-two FY2024 actions

USAspending counts 18,032 awards with Colorado District 01 place of performance in FY2024. Those records sum to $8.9 billion in obligations. 18,032 is a mid-thick action file: large enough that many rows can be modifications or smaller awards, but the packet does not prove the mix. It is not 18,032 unique companies.

Because first year and last year are both 2024, the count is a single-fiscal-year stock. It is not every award ever performed in the 1st. Later USAspending.gov corrections can revise 18,032 and $8,856,542,820.99 together or separately.

Place of performance in Colorado’s 1st

The district tag is where performance is coded, not where the recipient’s headquarters sits. Federal work tagged CO-01 can be performed by vendors based in other Colorado districts or other states and still sit inside $8.9 billion.

Firms with offices in the 1st can be missing when performance is coded to another Colorado district, to Colorado’s unspecified District 90 bucket, or to another state. Headquarters directories will not reproduce the 18,032-row file.

A numbered seat, not leftover code 90

Colorado District 01 is a voting House district. USAspending’s unspecified or non-voting buckets are 90 and 98. This page’s $8.9 billion is mapped to the 1st district’s performance code. Unmapped Colorado performance, if present, would appear on a 90-coded hub.

The Colorado 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 01 performance location in FY2024.

Obligations are not cash paid

SpendingVault’s district totals are obligations: legal commitments recorded in USAspending. Outlays are payments. The $8.9 billion figure is the former. Vehicles can obligate in FY2024 and invoice across later years.

The precise statement is that agencies obligated $8.9 billion on 18,032 awards with CO-01 place of performance in FY2024. It is not a statement that $8,856,542,820.99 left the Treasury inside the 1st that year. Federal FY2024 starts October 1.

Colorado pages that sit beside CO-01

The Colorado District 01 hub is the award table. The Colorado state page is the statewide rollup. The all-districts index links to other Colorado numbered districts and to unspecified 90/98 codes. A headquarters in the 1st without a CO-01 performance tag does not enter this file.

This packet does not publish other Colorado district totals. None of those other dollars sits inside $8.9 billion. Keep CO-01 citations on obligations and the FY2024 window.

How to cite the 1st-district extract

Cite CO-01 as $8.9 billion in FY2024 USAspending obligations on 18,032 awards with numbered code CO-01. Treat 18,032 as an action stock, not unique vendors. Keep other Colorado numbered districts and any District 90 leftover on other rows.

Work coded to CO-01 from a vendor based elsewhere does enter $8.9 billion. The Colorado state page rolls all Colorado codes and will not equal $8,856,542,820.99. Until a later extract, report $8.9 billion and 18,032 awards for CO-01 place of performance as obligations, not outlays.

Colorado District 01 can be briefed as $8.9 billion in FY2024 obligations on 18,032 awards with numbered code CO-01. Treat 18,032 as an action stock, not unique vendors. Keep other Colorado numbered districts and any District 90 leftover on other rows. What this packet supplies is CO-01 place-of-performance commitments from USAspending.gov, not outlays, not a headquarters extract, and not a multi-year series. A headquarters in the 1st without a CO-01 tag does not enter this file. Work coded to CO-01 from a vendor based elsewhere does enter $8.9 billion.

Questions

How much federal spending is in Colorado District 01 for FY2024?
USAspending.gov records $8.9 billion in FY2024 obligations with a Colorado District 01 place of performance, across 18,032 awards. The exact sum is $8,856,542,820.99. These are obligations, not outlays. District is performance location, not headquarters. The facts cover FY2024 only.
What does 18,032 awards mean for CO-01?
That is the FY2024 award-record count for the CO-01 place-of-performance code. It is not a unique-vendor count. Those records sum to $8.9 billion in obligations. Modifications can each add a row. The packet does not break the file by agency.
Is Colorado District 01 a 90-code unspecified bucket?
No. District 01 is a numbered Colorado congressional district. Codes 90 and 98 are USAspending’s unspecified or non-voting buckets. The $8.9 billion total is mapped to District 01, not to those residual codes.
Do contractors headquartered in the 1st all appear here?
No. Only awards with CO-01 place of performance enter the $8.9 billion and 18,032-award totals. A headquarters in the district is not sufficient. Work coded to another Colorado district or another state will appear elsewhere. Cite obligations, FY2024, and place of performance.

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