USAspending in Colorado District 03, FY2024

The $11.8 billion FY2024 obligation file

$11.8 billion is the obligation total USAspending.gov attaches to Colorado District 03 for fiscal year 2024. The figure is a sum of award commitments, not cash already paid and not Colorado’s state budget. This page does not translate $11.8 billion into outlays. CO-03’s $11.8 billion is the FY2024 obligation file for that mapped seat. It is not a 90 unspecified bin and not a 98 non-voting bin. 14,994 awards are the matching count.

The packet’s year window is FY2024 only. First year and last year are both 2024. Federal fiscal years start October 1. USAspending.gov can still correct records, which would move $11.8 billion and the 14,994-award count. There is no FY2025 figure in this packet to add to $11.8 billion. Cite the year as federal FY2024 when the 14,994-award count is reused. Do not treat $11.8 billion as a calendar-year 2024 total.

CO-03 place of performance versus headquarters

Congressional district here is the USAspending place-of-performance field. A performance site coded to the 3rd district can appear even when the recipient’s headquarters sits in another Colorado district or another state. A firm with a CO-03 mailing address can also post dollars elsewhere if performance is coded there. A recipient based outside the 3rd district can still appear among the 14,994 rows if place of performance is CO-03. Headquarters is the wrong join key.

District 03 is a numbered House seat. Colorado rows that never received a voting-district number sit in district 90 (unspecified) or 98 (non-voting). Those buckets are not this CO-03 table. Do not merge this page with other Colorado mapped seats. Unspecified Colorado performance uses district 90, not this $11.8 billion mapped hub. Keep 14,994 awards on the 3rd district’s performance code.

14,994 awards in the District 03 extract

14,994 is a mid-size FY2024 record count for CO-03 place of performance beside $11.8 billion. Modifications and assistance actions can each add a line. The packet does not publish unique recipients or an awarding-agency mix. 14,994 is a row count, not a census of Colorado firms. Do not compute a typical award from $11.8 billion and 14,994 rows. That quotient is not a packet fact. Use the Colorado District 03 hub to read individual records. Keep $11.8 billion as the FY2024 obligation roll-up for CO-03.

14,994 remains a record count. Modifications can add rows without turning the extract into a unique-firm list. The Colorado District 03 hub is the table. $11.8 billion stays the FY2024 obligation roll-up for CO-03. If another briefing quotes a different Colorado district, that is a different hub with its own packet — not a correction to 14,994 or $11.8 billion.

Obligations, not Treasury outlays

The $11.8 billion total is the obligation series. Outlays measure disbursements and can land in a later fiscal year. Mixing series makes CO-03 look inconsistent when the files are simply counting different events. SpendingVault does not recast this district as cash paid. A FY2024 obligation can fund later invoices; a later modification can change net amounts without turning this page into a cash register.

Recipient-location maps, calendar-year totals, and state budget documents are other products. Match geography, year, and series before treating a disagreement with $11.8 billion as an error. Cite CO-03 as FY2024 USAspending.gov place-of-performance obligations of $11.8 billion on 14,994 awards. Do not mix that total into an outlay sheet or a headquarters extract.

Colorado statewide and the district index

Colorado’s state hub is the statewide obligation view. CO-03 is one mapped place-of-performance district inside that state. Statewide Colorado is not equal to District 03. Other Colorado mapped seats have their own hubs; this packet does not quote those other figures. Stay on CO-03 for the 3rd district file.

The all-districts index lists other Colorado seats and unspecified buckets in the same format. Compare CO-03 only on FY2024 obligations. This packet does not rank the 3rd district. Numbered seats and 90/98 leftovers are listed side by side in that index; they are not interchangeable geographies.

Keeping Colorado District 03 on one series

The $11.8 billion FY2024 obligation total for CO-03 is an indexed USAspending.gov statistic. SpendingVault does not convert 14,994 awards into unique firms or cash paid, and it does not merge District 03 with a 90 leftover page. A complete citation names the 3rd district, FY2024, USAspending.gov, place of performance, obligations, $11.8 billion, and 14,994 awards.

Align comparisons to place of performance, federal FY2024, and obligations before placing $11.8 billion next to another Colorado column. The Colorado state hub and the all-districts index use the same rules. CO-03’s $11.8 billion and 14,994 awards stay on this page. Do not recode this extract as outlays, and do not treat district 03 as an unspecified bucket.

Questions

How much federal spending is in Colorado’s 3rd district?

USAspending.gov shows $11.8 billion in FY2024 obligations with place of performance in Colorado District 03. That is not an outlay total and not Colorado’s state budget. The same extract counts 14,994 awards for CO-03. First year and last year are both 2024. Cite the figure as place-of-performance obligations, not headquarters spending.

Does CO-03 spending mean the contractor is based there?

No. The district is USAspending place of performance, not recipient headquarters. Work coded to Colorado’s 3rd district can belong to a recipient based in another district or another state. A CO-03 mailing address does not force every dollar onto this hub. Only the performance tag puts an award among the 14,994 records.

Are Colorado District 03’s $11.8 billion outlays?

No. $11.8 billion is an obligation sum from FY2024 award records. Outlays are cash leaving the Treasury. SpendingVault does not convert CO-03 obligations into outlays. Keep the obligation label and the FY2024 window when the figure is reused. The matching award count is 14,994.

How many awards are tagged to Colorado District 03?

14,994 awards appear for CO-03 place of performance in FY2024. That figure is a record count, including modifications, not a unique-recipient census. This packet does not divide $11.8 billion by 14,994 to invent an average. Use the Colorado District 03 hub to inspect individual lines.
