FY2024 obligations in Florida's 17th district

Reading Florida District 17's $7.4B

$7.4B is the obligation total USAspending.gov attaches to Florida District 17 for fiscal year 2024. The precise amount in the packet is $7,414,266,098.27. A commitment on an award record is not the same as a Treasury disbursement. 4,954 awards are the matching count, a separate column.

The packet's year window is FY2024 only. First year and last year are both 2024. USAspending.gov can still correct records, which would move $7.4B and the 4,954-award count. There is no FY2025 figure in this packet to add to $7.4B. Do not treat $7.4B as a calendar-year 2024 total.

FL-17 as a performance map

Congressional district here is the USAspending place-of-performance field. A performance site coded to the 17th district can appear even when the recipient's headquarters sits in another Florida district or another state. A firm with a FL-17 mailing address can also post dollars elsewhere if performance is coded there. Headquarters is the wrong join key for $7.4B.

USAspending.gov's district code on these rows is place of performance. HQ lists of "17th district contractors" will not match 4,954 performance-coded awards. A headquarters in the 17th without a FL-17 tag does not enter this file. Keep $7.4B labeled as a performance geography total.

A compact row list next to $7.4B

4,954 awards is a relatively short FY2024 record count for FL-17 beside $7.4B. A compact file at this dollar scale often makes large lines easier to spot when the hub is sorted by amount. The packet still does not identify which rows dominate $7,414,266,098.27. A short list is not a unique-recipient census.

Do not treat 4,954 as 4,954 Florida contractors. Do not divide $7.4B by 4,954; that average is not a packet fact. Use the Florida District 17 hub to inspect the lines behind $7.4B. FL-17 shows 4,954 awards next to $7.4B — another short Florida row file at a large obligation total.

Obligation series only on the Florida 17 hub

SpendingVault's FL-17 copy cites obligations: $7.4B committed in FY2024 award files. Outlays are cash out the door and can land in a later fiscal year. A later modification can change net amounts without turning this page into a cash register. Cite $7.4B with the obligation label.

The precise FY2024 statement is that agencies obligated $7.4B on 4,954 awards with FL-17 place of performance. Multi-year vehicles can obligate here and invoice later. Federal FY2024 starts October 1. Outlay totals, if published elsewhere, can disagree with $7,414,266,098.27 without either file being "wrong." They count different events.

Numbered District 17, not a 90 bucket

Do not read FL-17 as unspecified. USAspending stores unmapped Florida performance under district 90 and non-voting rows under 98. At-large states use 00. Florida District 17 is numbered District 17. $7.4B and 4,954 awards sit on that mapped code. Merging a 90 leftover into this hub would mix geographies the source keeps apart.

Statewide Florida on the Florida hub rolls up more than District 17. Other numbered seats and any 90/98 buckets sit outside this $7.4B file. The all-districts index is the directory. Compare only on FY2024 obligations. This packet does not publish a rank for FL-17.

How to place Florida District 17 next to other files

The 4,954-award count for FL-17 is FY2024 record volume, not a vendor census. SpendingVault indexes those rows next to $7.4B in obligations. Neither column explains the other, and this packet does not rank District 17 against other Florida seats. Outlay tables, headquarters maps, and calendar-year charts are other products.

The Florida District 17 hub is the live table for FL-17. The Florida page is the statewide obligation index. The all-districts index is the directory of other mapped seats and leftover codes. Quote $7.4B only with place of performance, federal FY2024, and the obligation series. FL-17 shows 4,954 awards next to $7.4B — another short Florida row file at a large obligation total.

Florida District 17 can be quoted in one sentence: $7.4B in FY2024 USAspending.gov obligations on 4,954 awards with FL-17 place of performance. The unrounded packet total is $7,414,266,098.27. That sentence already names the series (obligations), the year (federal FY2024), the geography (place of performance, not headquarters), and the district code (FL-17, a numbered 17th seat rather than leftover 90/98 or at-large 00). SpendingVault does not add a unique-recipient count, an agency mix, or an outlay conversion. Readers who need the underlying rows should open the Florida District 17 hub; readers who need statewide Florida should open the Florida page. Do not average $7.4B across 4,954 awards. Do not fold unspecified Florida leftover dollars into $7.4B. First year and last year in this extract are both 2024.

Questions

How much did USAspending record for Florida District 17 in FY2024?

USAspending.gov records $7.4B ($7,414,266,098.27) as FY2024 obligations with FL-17 place of performance. 4,954 awards share that tag. SpendingVault cites obligations, not outlays. First year and last year in the packet are both 2024. Do not add a later fiscal year to $7.4B.

Does FL-17 mean at-large district 00?

No. FL-17 is numbered District 17, a mapped House seat. At-large states use district 00. Unspecified and non-voting rows use 90 and 98. $7.4B and 4,954 awards sit on the numbered 17th code, not on those leftover bins and not on an at-large 00 page.

Is $7.4B tied to recipient HQ in Florida?

No. The district is place of performance. Recipients based outside the 17th can still appear on FL-17 if the performance location is coded to the 17th. A 17th-district headquarters can also map dollars to another district when performance is coded there. 4,954 awards follow the performance field, not HQ.

Are FL-17 obligations the same as outlays?

No. $7.4B is an obligation sum from FY2024 award records. Outlays are a different series. SpendingVault does not convert the Florida District 17 obligation total into Treasury outlays. Cite the figure with the obligation label, the FY2024 window, and FL-17 place of performance. 4,954 awards are the matching record count.
