Delaware’s obligation book on 28,656 awards

28,656 awards under Delaware’s $42.01B

Delaware’s file pairs $42.01B in obligations with 28,656 awards for FY2024–2026. The award count is small next to a $42.01B obligation sum, which is a reason not to treat row count as a proxy for dollars. Both numbers come from USAspending.gov as indexed on SpendingVault.

This page does not publish an average award size from $42.01B and 28,656 records. Distribution lives on the Delaware spending hub tables. The roll-up only documents the two file totals and the fiscal-year bound.

Commitments, not cash, for Delaware

An obligation is a commitment recorded on an award. An outlay is cash leaving the Treasury. Delaware’s $42.01B is the commitment series. SpendingVault does not convert it into outlays. Dover’s state budget is a different document.

If a Delaware federal-spending headline quotes cash already paid, it is not quoting this $42.01B. Keep the USAspending.gov award-obligation label when you reuse the figure. The 28,656-award count is a record tally, not a vendor census.

The FY2024–2026 Delaware window

Delaware’s totals combine federal fiscal years 2024, 2025, and 2026. The $42.01B is a window sum, not a single-year rate and not a calendar-year stack. Federal fiscal years begin on October 1.

Corrections in USAspending.gov can move $42.01B and 28,656 awards after a refresh. Cite the current indexed values with the FY2024–2026 label. This packet does not include an ingest timestamp.

Edges of the Delaware hub

The Delaware hub does not list every federal dollar that touches the state. It lists award obligations. Programs that never become USAspending.gov awards sit outside $42.01B. That omission is definitional.

A missing line is usually the wrong series or the wrong year, not a hole in the 28,656 rows as an award file. This packet does not specify a location rule beyond the tagged Delaware extract.

The $42.01B is a three-year federal obligation window, not a calendar-year pile and not a Dover budget. Federal fiscal years start in October. Dividing $42.01B by three invents an annual figure the packet omits. Late USAspending.gov rows can move 28,656 awards with the dollar sum.

Dover’s budget and Treasury outlays are other series. Stay with USAspending.gov obligations. Agency, comparison, and per-capita pages keep that unit when statewide Delaware is too coarse.

Further Delaware tables

Agency pages, state comparisons, and per-capita rankings open from the Delaware spending hub and keep the obligation unit. None recast $42.01B as Treasury outlays or as Delaware’s state budget.

Use those views when statewide Delaware is too coarse. This packet has no agency mix to quote. Reuse $42.01B, 28,656 awards, and FY2024–2026 from USAspending.gov.

Non-award federal flows sit outside $42.01B. That is definitional. Agency pages, comparisons, and per-capita rankings keep obligations and do not recast Delaware as Treasury outlays. Stay with the tagged Delaware extract when the statewide total is too coarse.
