Kansas award volume versus $95.85B obligated

585,768 Kansas award records

Kansas’s distinctive file statistic on this page is 585,768 awards for FY2024–2026. That is a count of USAspending.gov award records, including modifications and assistance actions in the source. It is not a count of unique Kansas recipients. This packet does not publish a recipient total.

A file with 585,768 rows can still sum to $95.85B in obligations. Record volume is not a substitute for dollars. The Kansas spending hub keeps both columns visible so readers do not treat a busy file as a larger obligation book than $95.85B.

The $95.85B obligation sum

The $95.85B Kansas total is a sum of obligation amounts on those awards. An obligation is a commitment. An outlay is cash leaving the Treasury. SpendingVault does not convert Kansas’s $95.85B into outlays. Topeka’s state budget is a different series.

Keep the two-decimal form. Rounding Kansas would leave the indexed extract. Cite $95.85B as USAspending.gov obligations for FY2024–2026, not as cash already paid and not as the Kansas state budget.

FY2024–2026 for Kansas

Kansas’s figures combine federal fiscal years 2024, 2025, and 2026. The $95.85B is a window total. It is not a calendar-year stack and not a FY2026-only run-rate. Federal fiscal years start on October 1.

Because USAspending.gov is a living file, later corrections can move $95.85B and 585,768 awards. Cite the current index and the three-year label. This packet does not include an ingest timestamp.

Kansas’s 585,768 awards are the volume marker; $95.85B is the obligation marker. A busy file is still not a larger dollar book than $95.85B. The Kansas spending hub keeps both columns so record volume is not mistaken for cash. This packet does not publish a unique-recipient count.

Kansas’s 585,768 awards can dominate a conversation that should start with $95.85B in obligations. Volume is not dollars. The Kansas spending hub shows both columns for FY2024–2026 so a busy file is not mistaken for a larger book than $95.85B.

Kansas’s $95.85B is not implied by 585,768 awards. Cite both for FY2024–2026. The Kansas spending hub and related pages keep USAspending.gov obligations and refuse an outlay conversion of the $95.85B.

Kansas’s $95.85B and 585,768 awards should be repeated whenever the FY2024–2026 extract is summarized. Dropping either figure hides whether the question was dollars or record volume on USAspending.gov.

What the Kansas hub excludes

The Kansas hub lists award obligations. Federal flows that never become awards sit outside $95.85B. That boundary is definitional. Stretching 585,768 rows to cover every federal dollar in Kansas would invent coverage.

If a headline disagrees with $95.85B, check whether it used outlays or another year. Do not paste that headline onto this award-file roll-up. Stay with USAspending.gov obligations for FY2024–2026.

FY2024–2026 is a federal window. The $95.85B is their combined obligation sum from USAspending.gov, not Topeka’s budget and not a calendar-year stack. A federal fiscal year starts on October 1. Late rows can move $95.85B and 585,768 awards after a reload.

Topeka’s budget is not the source of these 585,768 federal award records. Neither is an outlay series. Stay with USAspending.gov obligations. Related tables on this site keep that definition.
