USAspending in Illinois District 08, FY2024

A $7.0B file on 8,891 Illinois rows

8,891 awards is a mid-band action count next to $7.0B. The file is thick enough that the hub table is the practical way to inspect lines, and thin enough that it is not a six-figure dump of micro-actions. The packet still withholds an average award size, so do not treat a quotient of $7.0B and 8,891 as a published fact.

USAspending.gov is the source. First year and last year are both 2024, so 8,891 is a single-fiscal-year action count. Modifications can inflate row totals without adding unique vendors. This guide certifies the two rollups — $7.0B and 8,891 awards — not a vendor census of the 8th district.

Illinois performance location, not HQ

Congressional district on this hub is USAspending place of performance. A contractor based in another Illinois district or another state can still sit inside $7.0B if the work is tagged IL-08. A firm with an 8th-district office can be absent if performance is coded elsewhere.

Headquarters maps of “8th district contractors” will not match this page. The page answers a narrower question: FY2024 obligations whose performance district is Illinois’s 8th. 8,891 awards follow that field, not the contractor’s legal address. Recipient-location extracts are a different cut from this $7.0B file.

District 08 is not Illinois’s 90 leftover

Illinois District 08 is a mapped voting district. Codes 90 and 98 are USAspending unspecified or non-voting bins. Unspecified Illinois performance, if it exists in the source file, would live on a 90-coded hub rather than inside this $7.0B total. At-large 00 is not the Illinois 8th.

The Illinois state page rolls all Illinois place-of-performance codes together. That statewide view will not equal District 08’s $7.0B. Use the all-districts index to move among numbered Illinois seats and residual buckets. Do not add leftover rows into $6,951,169,233.12.

Commitments versus cash paid on IL-08

The $7.0B total is obligations. Obligations are legal commitments recorded in USAspending. Outlays are disbursements and can lag. SpendingVault does not recast IL-08 as Treasury cash paid inside the 8th district in FY2024.

If another Illinois headline disagrees, check series (obligations versus outlays), fiscal year, and whether geography is performance or headquarters. This packet supplies only the FY2024 obligation extract for IL-08: $6,951,169,233.12 on 8,891 awards. An FY2024 obligation can fund later invoices.

Related Illinois geography pages

The Illinois District 08 hub holds the award table. The Illinois state page is the statewide obligation view. The all-districts index lists other Illinois numbered districts and any 90/98 codes in the same format. This packet does not rank District 08 against other Illinois seats.

Report $7.0B as FY2024 USAspending obligations with Illinois District 08 place of performance, on 8,891 awards. Do not relabel the code as unspecified. Do not convert 8,891 rows into unique firms. Quote the unrounded $6,951,169,233.12 when a briefing needs the exact packet figure.

Citing IL-08 without mixing other Illinois seats

Illinois District 08 can be quoted in one sentence: $7.0B in FY2024 USAspending.gov obligations on 8,891 awards with IL-08 place of performance. The unrounded packet total is $6,951,169,233.12. That sentence already names the series (obligations), the year (federal FY2024), the geography (place of performance, not headquarters), and the district code (IL-08, a numbered 8th seat rather than leftover 90/98 or at-large 00).

The Illinois District 08 hub is the live table. The Illinois page is the statewide obligation index. The all-districts index is the directory of other mapped seats and leftover codes. SpendingVault does not add a unique-recipient count, an agency mix, or an outlay conversion. Do not fold unspecified Illinois leftover dollars into $7.0B. Do not treat 8,891 rows as unique firms. Illinois District 08 is not Illinois District 10; those extracts stay on separate hubs.

Questions

How much did agencies obligate in Illinois District 08 in FY2024?

The FY2024 extract shows $7.0B in USAspending.gov obligations with IL-08 place of performance. The unrounded total is $6,951,169,233.12. That figure is obligations, not outlays. 8,891 awards share the IL-08 performance tag. First year and last year are both 2024.

Is Illinois District 08 an at-large 00 district?

No. Code 00 is the at-large label used for single-district states. Illinois District 08 is numbered District 08, a mapped voting seat. District 90 is unspecified leftover and District 98 is the non-voting bucket. Keep $7.0B and 8,891 awards on the 8th district hub.

Can a contractor outside the 8th appear on this page?

Yes. Place of performance, not headquarters, drives the district tag. A vendor based elsewhere can appear inside $7.0B if the work is coded IL-08. A local headquarters can be missing if performance is coded to another district. 8,891 awards follow the performance field.

Does $7.0B mean $7.0B was paid out in the 8th district?

No. $7.0B is an obligation total. Outlays measure disbursements and can lag commitments. SpendingVault does not convert the Illinois District 08 obligation sum into Treasury outlays. Cite $7.0B with the obligation label, FY2024, and IL-08 place of performance.
