Indiana’s USAspending obligation book

Pairing $545.43B with 287,874 Indiana awards

Indiana’s packet is two columns: $545.43B in obligations and 287,874 awards, both from USAspending.gov for FY2024–2026. The dollar figure is a sum of commitment amounts. The award figure is a count of records, including modifications present in the source. Neither column is a unique-recipient census.

Because 287,874 awards sit under $545.43B, it is easy to invent an average action size. This page does not publish one. Use the Indiana spending hub tables if you need distribution; the roll-up only documents the two file totals.

Obligation versus outlay for Indiana

An obligation is a commitment on an award. An outlay is cash leaving the Treasury. Indiana’s $545.43B is the first series. SpendingVault does not convert it into the second. Using $545.43B as a proxy for checks cleared will misstate timing.

Indiana’s state budget is a separate document. It is not the source of 287,874 federal award records. Mixing General Fund tables with this $545.43B leaves the USAspending.gov award series.

Indiana’s three fiscal years

The Indiana index covers federal fiscal years 2024, 2025, and 2026. The $545.43B is their combined obligation sum. It is not a calendar-year total and not a FY2026-only figure. Federal fiscal years begin on October 1.

USAspending.gov remains open to corrections. Reloading Indiana can move $545.43B and 287,874 awards. Cite the current indexed values with the FY2024–2026 window. This packet has no ingest clock to quote.

Indiana’s $545.43B is a FY2024–2026 obligation window, not a FY2026 snapshot. Federal fiscal years start in October. Treating the sum as annual Indiana spending will overstate a single year. The 287,874-award count is bound to the same three years. Late USAspending.gov rows can move both figures after a reload.

Indiana’s 287,874 awards and $545.43B share the FY2024–2026 USAspending.gov window and nothing else in this packet. No agency mix, no recipient census, no outlay conversion. The Indiana spending hub is the place to open the rows; this page only states the roll-up those rows support.

Indiana’s $545.43B remains an obligation total even when 287,874 awards make the file look busy. Cite both figures with FY2024–2026 and USAspending.gov. The Indiana spending hub, agency index, comparison tool, and per-capita rankings all refuse to recast those numbers as Treasury outlays or as the state budget.

Coverage limits on the Indiana hub

The Indiana hub does not claim every federal dollar that touches the state. It claims award obligations from USAspending.gov. Flows that never become awards sit outside $545.43B. That boundary is definitional.

If a number you expected is missing, check the series and the year before treating 287,874 rows as incomplete in their own file. This packet does not add a recipient-location rule beyond the tagged Indiana extract.

287,874 awards under $545.43B can tempt an average. This page does not publish one. The Indiana spending hub is the place for distribution. The roll-up only documents the two file totals and the fiscal-year label from USAspending.gov.

A federal fiscal year starts on October 1. Citing Indiana’s $545.43B as calendar 2024–2026 will misalign a chart. Keep the obligation label so the figure is not read as cash leaving the Treasury.

Where to slice Indiana further

Agency pages, state comparisons, and per-capita rankings branch off the Indiana spending hub. They keep obligations as the unit. None of them recast $545.43B as Treasury outlays.

Follow those links when statewide Indiana is too coarse. This packet has no agency mix. The facts to reuse are $545.43B, 287,874 awards, and FY2024–2026 from USAspending.gov.

Indiana’s state budget is not the source of these 287,874 federal award records. Neither is a Treasury outlay table. The $545.43B is award obligations. Agency pages, comparisons, and per-capita rankings stay on that unit when you leave the statewide hub.

How to cite Indiana’s totals

Cite Indiana as $545.43B in federal obligations for FY2024–2026 from USAspending.gov award files indexed on SpendingVault, with 287,874 awards. Keep the word obligations. Do not call $545.43B cash already spent.

Any state comparison should use obligations on both sides and the same FY2024–2026 span. The Indiana spending hub, agency index, comparison tool, and per-capita rankings all stay on that basis.

A usable Indiana citation names $545.43B in federal obligations, FY2024–2026, USAspending.gov, SpendingVault, and 287,874 awards. Keep the obligation word. Do not describe $545.43B as checks cleared or as a single fiscal year.
