Department of State federal obligations (CGAC 019)

More rows, smaller book than CGAC 072

The precise total for code 019 is $117,759,659,797.09. Across 99,423 awards the implied mean is about $1.18 million per award, an order of magnitude below the mean on the other State-labeled identifier. That contrast is why SpendingVault keeps separate hubs: same department label in the source file, different CGAC keys, different award-size mix.

Fiscal year 2026 is the latest year. The $117,759,659,797.09 sum is cumulative through that cap. USAspending.gov is the source.

That mix is the research takeaway from the two packet facts together. 99,423 awards at a mean near $1.18 million on CGAC 019, higher volume and a smaller book than CGAC 072. A later extract can change both the dollar total and the award count as contract and assistance modifications continue inside FY 2026.

The /agencies/019/ key

SpendingVault’s page for this rollup is /agencies/019/. The $117,759,659,797.09 obligation total and 99,423 award count belong to CGAC 019. Do not add CGAC 072’s dollars on this page. The 99,423 figure counts award records, not visas issued or posts staffed.

What 019’s obligation file includes

USAspending rows tagged to awarding-agency 019 can include contracts, grants, and other assistance present in the extract. This packet does not publish a type split of the 99,423 awards. Amounts that never appear as award rows are omitted. Outlays and ForeignAssistance.gov cuts are not in the packet.

Researchers sometimes treat an agency obligation total as cash already paid. For Department of State, that reading is wrong. A merge with CGAC 072, a visa count, or a ForeignAssistance.gov outlay cut belong in other publications. The USAspending figure on this hub remains an obligation sum through FY 2026. Contract and assistance modifications continue inside FY 2026.

Place-of-performance for CGAC 019

Domestic contractor and headquarters coding can fill U.S. state cells even when work supports overseas missions. The state table is a coding view of the 99,423 awards that sum to $117,759,659,797.09 through FY 2026. Overseas performance may sit outside those cells.

Place-of-performance is a coding field, not a complete economic-impact model. On this agency, domestic contractor coding can fill U.S. cells even when work supports overseas missions. Read the state table after the agency hub, not instead of it. Keep this hub on /agencies/019/; the other State-labeled identifier has its own page.

Using 019 on the all-agencies list

Compare $117,759,659,797.09 and 99,423 awards only with other obligation totals from this extract. Pair dollars with row count: 019 is the higher-volume State-labeled identifier. The hub does not score diplomacy.

The all-agencies list is useful only inside this extract’s obligation definition and FY 2026 cap. 99,423 awards at a mean near $1.18 million on CGAC 019, higher volume and a smaller book than CGAC 072. Ranking on dollars alone hides that mix. Keep this hub on /agencies/019/; the other State-labeled identifier has its own page.

Why 019 and 072 must not be added together here

Both labels in the extract read Department of State. The facts on this page are $117,759,659,797.09, 99,423 awards, CGAC 019, and FY 2026. Adding 072’s book would mix identifiers. SpendingVault keeps separate hubs for that reason. A later USAspending extract can revise both the dollar total and the 99,423 count as new actions and modifications post against CGAC 019. Until that refresh, the documented book is 117759659797.09 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.

The higher row count on 019 is a size-mix fact, not a finding that 072 is incomplete. Use the state table as place-of-performance coding on the 99,423 records tagged 019. CGAC 019 is the awarding-agency identifier on every row in this rollup, and the overlay path stays /agencies/019/. The award population is 99,423 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.
