Department of Commerce federal obligations

$89.7 billion on 26,809 Commerce awards

The exact obligation total is $89,712,039,641.68. Divided by 26,809 awards, the implied mean is about $3.35 million per award. Census, NOAA, NIST, and other bureau actions can occupy the file; this packet does not split the 26,809 rows by bureau, so the mean is blended. A few large construction or satellite-class contracts can pull the average up.

Fiscal year 2026 is the latest year. Multi-year statistical and satellite vehicles can remain open, so $89,712,039,641.68 is not a single survey cycle’s cash. USAspending.gov is the source.

That mix is the research takeaway from the two packet facts together. 26,809 awards at a mean near $3.35 million can include census, NOAA, NIST, and other bureau actions in one blended average. A later extract can change both the dollar total and the award count as multi-year statistical and satellite vehicles remain open inside FY 2026.

CGAC 013 as the awarding-agency key

SpendingVault’s Commerce hub is /agencies/013/. CGAC 013 is the USAspending awarding-agency identifier for the Department of Commerce. Bureaus may appear on child records while still summing into $89,712,039,641.68. The 26,809 figure counts award records, not establishments in the Business Register or weather stations.

Obligations versus Commerce statistical products

GDP, trade, and census publications are separate products. This hub cites $89,712,039,641.68 in USAspending obligations through FY 2026 on 26,809 awards. Those economic series are not in the packet and are not restated here. Outlays are likewise omitted.

Researchers sometimes treat an agency obligation total as cash already paid. For Department of Commerce, that reading is wrong. GDP, trade statistics, weather-station counts, or bureau-level budgets belong in other publications. The USAspending figure on this hub remains an obligation sum through FY 2026. Multi-year statistical and satellite vehicles remain open inside FY 2026.

State geography for Commerce awards

Place-of-performance often follows bureau labs, regional offices, and contractors. A nationwide IT or satellite contract coded to one state can dominate that cell of $89,712,039,641.68. The state table is a coding view of the 26,809 awards through FY 2026, not a map of exporters.

Place-of-performance is a coding field, not a complete economic-impact model. On this agency, lab, regional-office, and satellite-contractor locations can dominate cells. Read the state table after the agency hub, not instead of it. Read CGAC 013 as a department rollup; bureau shares are not in this packet.

Commerce on the all-agencies list

Compare $89,712,039,641.68 and 26,809 awards only with other obligation totals from this extract and the same FY 2026 cap. The hub does not endorse vendors or score tariff policy.

The all-agencies list is useful only inside this extract’s obligation definition and FY 2026 cap. 26,809 awards at a mean near $3.35 million can include census, NOAA, NIST, and other bureau actions in one blended average. Ranking on dollars alone hides that mix. Read CGAC 013 as a department rollup; bureau shares are not in this packet.

Commerce obligations are not Commerce statistics

The extract reports $89,712,039,641.68 on 26,809 awards tagged 013 through FY 2026. GDP and trade publications are separate products. This hub does not restated those series. It reports award-file obligations only. A later USAspending extract can revise both the dollar total and the 26,809 count as new actions and modifications post against CGAC 013. Until that refresh, the documented book is 89712039641.68 in obligations. That figure is not a performance score, not an enacted one-year appropriation, and not a recommendation to apply for funds. It is the award-file rollup this packet carries through FY 2026.

Bureau splits are not packet facts. The mean near $3.35 million is blended. Rank Commerce on the all-agencies list only against other obligation totals from this extract and the same FY 2026 cap. CGAC 013 is the awarding-agency identifier on every row in this rollup, and the overlay path stays /agencies/013/. The award population is 26,809 records. Those rows still sum to the same obligation total through fiscal year 2026. Readers who need place-of-performance should open the state table from that hub; readers who need peer context should open the all-agencies list. Neither view converts obligations into outlays.
