USAspending in Colorado District 04, FY2024

Twenty-four thousand five hundred sixty-nine award records

USAspending counts 24,569 awards with Colorado District 04 place of performance in FY2024. Those records sum to $22.7 billion in obligations. A file this thick is almost certainly many small actions rather than 24,569 unique companies. The packet has no unique-recipient count, so 24,569 remains a stock of award actions.

Because first year and last year are both 2024, the 24,569 figure is a single-fiscal-year stock. It is not a running inventory of every award ever performed in the 4th district.

Place of performance, not an HQ census

Place of performance assigns the district. Recipient headquarters do not. Federal work coded to Colorado’s 4th district can be performed by vendors based in other Colorado districts or in other states. Those awards still sit in the $22.7 billion if the performance tag is CO-04.

Firms with offices inside District 04 can be missing when the work is coded to Colorado District 05, District 06, Colorado’s unspecified District 90 bucket, or another state. HQ lists of “4th district contractors” will not reproduce this file.

Numbered seat versus unspecified codes

Colorado District 04 is a voting House district. USAspending’s unspecified or non-voting buckets are 90 and 98. This page’s $22.7 billion is mapped to the 4th district’s performance code. Unmapped Colorado performance, if present, would appear on a 90-coded hub, not here.

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 04 performance location in FY2024.

Obligations, not disbursements

SpendingVault’s district totals are obligations: legal commitments recorded in USAspending. Outlays are payments. The $22.7 billion figure is the former. Contract vehicles can obligate in one year and invoice across several.

The precise FY2024 statement is that agencies obligated $22.7 billion on 24,569 awards with CO-04 place of performance. It is not a statement that $22.7 billion was paid in cash inside the district that year. FY2024 is the only year in the facts.

Colorado pages that sit beside this hub

The Colorado District 04 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 used in USAspending. A headquarters in the 4th without a CO-04 performance tag does not enter this file.

How to read a 24,569-row Colorado file

Twenty-four thousand five hundred sixty-nine awards summing to $22.7 billion is a thick numbered-district file. That row volume is almost certainly many small actions. It is not 24,569 unique vendors. The Colorado District 04 hub is the only place in this project to inspect the mix; the packet has no agency split.

Cite CO-04 as $22.7 billion in FY2024 USAspending obligations on 24,569 awards with numbered code CO-04. Keep other Colorado seats and any District 90 leftover on other rows. None of their totals sits inside $22.7 billion. Obligations are not outlays. Headquarters in the 4th without a CO-04 tag does not enter this file. FY2024 is the only year in the packet. USAspending.gov is the source.

Colorado District 04 can be briefed as $22.7 billion in FY2024 obligations on 24,569 awards with numbered code CO-04. The 24,569-award count is thick beside $22.7 billion. Treat that volume as many small actions unless the hub table shows otherwise. It is not 24,569 unique companies. Keep other Colorado numbered districts and any District 90 leftover on other rows. None of their totals sits inside $22.7 billion. This packet does not supply those other dollars. What it supplies is CO-04 place-of-performance commitments from USAspending.gov, not outlays, not a headquarters extract, and not a multi-year series. A headquarters in the 4th without a CO-04 tag does not enter this file. Work coded to CO-04 from a vendor based elsewhere does enter $22.7 billion. The Colorado state page rolls all Colorado codes and will not equal $22.7 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 $22.7 billion and 24,569 awards for CO-04 place of performance as obligations, not outlays.

Questions

How much federal spending is in Colorado District 04 for FY2024?

USAspending.gov records $22.7 billion in FY2024 obligations with a Colorado District 04 place of performance, across 24,569 awards. These are obligations, not outlays. District is performance location, not headquarters. The facts cover FY2024 only. Those figures are FY2024 USAspending obligations with CO-04 place of performance, covering 24,569 awards, not outlays and not a headquarters extract.

Why does District 04 have 24,569 awards?

That is the FY2024 award-record count for the CO-04 place-of-performance code. It is not a unique-vendor count. Those records sum to $22.7 billion in obligations. A thick file usually means many smaller actions. The packet does not break the file by agency.

Is Colorado District 04 a 90-code unspecified bucket?

No. District 04 is a numbered Colorado congressional district. Codes 90 and 98 are USAspending’s unspecified or non-voting buckets. The $22.7 billion total is mapped to District 04, not to those residual codes. The CO-04 tag is the geography rule; an office address in Colorado is neither required nor enough to enter the 24,569 records.

Do contractors headquartered in the 4th district all appear here?

No. Only awards with CO-04 place of performance enter the $22.7 billion and 24,569-award totals. A headquarters in the district is not sufficient. Work coded to another Colorado district or another state will appear elsewhere. Cite the figure with the obligation label, the FY2024 window, and CO-04 place of performance rather than recipient headquarters.
