USAspending in Kansas District 03, FY2024

What $6.7B records on the Kansas 3rd

Agencies obligated $6.7B in FY2024 on awards coded to Kansas District 03 as place of performance. Cite $6,746,465,963.03 when a briefing needs the unrounded figure. This page does not translate $6.7B into outlays. 7,837 awards are the FY2024 action stock. First year and last year in the packet are both 2024, so the window is a single fiscal year.

If another Kansas headline disagrees with $6.7B, check series, fiscal year, and whether geography is performance or headquarters before treating the gap as an error. Multi-year vehicles can obligate here in FY2024 and invoice later. The precise statement is that agencies obligated $6.7B on 7,837 awards with KS-03 place of performance.

Place of performance on KS-03, not contractor HQ

USAspending.gov tags KS-03 by where performance is recorded, not by where a vendor keeps its legal address. Work performed in the 3rd district can land inside $6.7B even if the contractor is headquartered in another Kansas seat or another state. Work performed outside the 3rd does not enter this extract merely because a firm has a local office. Headquarters maps of “District 03 contractors” answer a different question from this page.

That split is the reason a reader can see an out-of-district name on the hub table. The 7,837 rows follow the performance field. A 3rd-district headquarters can also post dollars to another district when the performance location is coded there. SpendingVault does not recast KS-03 as a roster of firms that live in the 3rd.

7,837 FY2024 records for Kansas’s 3rd

7,837 awards share the KS-03 performance tag in FY2024. That is a mid-size action file: large enough that scanning every row by eye is impractical, and not so large that the extract is only a six-figure dump of small actions. The packet still does not invent a typical award from $6.7B and 7,837. Do not divide the dollar total by the row count and treat the quotient as a USAspending fact.

Keep 7,837 labeled as record volume. Repeat modifications add rows. One recipient can appear many times. The Kansas District 03 hub is the table for inspecting lines. This packet does not rank the 3rd against other Kansas numbered seats.

Obligations versus cash paid

The $6.7B total is the obligation series. Obligations are legal commitments recorded in USAspending. Outlays measure disbursements and can lag. SpendingVault does not recast KS-03 as cash paid inside the 3rd district in FY2024. Mixing the two series makes the 3rd look inconsistent when the files are measuring different events.

Recipient-location maps, calendar-year totals, and state budget documents are other products. Match geography, year, and series before treating a disagreement with $6.7B as a data error. Cite KS-03 as FY2024 USAspending.gov place-of-performance obligations of $6.7B on 7,837 awards.

District 03 is not Kansas leftover 90 or 98

Unspecified Kansas dollars, if USAspending could not map them to a voting district, belong on a 90 page. Non-voting 98 rows are another leftover. At-large 00 is used for single-district states, not for Kansas. KS-03 is the mapped 3rd seat. Keep $6.7B on District 03. 7,837 awards share that numbered performance code, not a residual bin.

Kansas District 03 is not the Kansas statewide total. The state page is the roll-up; this page is District 03 only. Do not add leftover 90/98 rows to $6.7B. The all-districts index lists mapped seats and leftover codes without mixing their dollars.

Citing KS-03 without mixing statewide totals

Kansas District 03 can be quoted as $6.7B in FY2024 USAspending.gov obligations on 7,837 awards with KS-03 place of performance. The unrounded packet total is $6,746,465,963.03. That sentence already names the series, the year, the geography, and the district code. SpendingVault does not add a unique-recipient count, an agency mix, or an outlay conversion.

The Kansas District 03 hub is the live table. The Kansas page is the statewide obligation index. The all-districts index is the directory of other mapped seats and leftover codes. Quote $6.7B only with place of performance, federal FY2024, and the obligation series. Do not fold unspecified Kansas leftover dollars into $6.7B.

Questions

How many awards are in Kansas District 03’s FY2024 file?

The FY2024 extract lists 7,837 awards with KS-03 place of performance. That count is record volume, not unique vendors. The matching obligation total is $6.7B ($6,746,465,963.03). Modifications and assistance actions can each add a row. The packet does not publish a unique-recipient total.

Is KS-03 a USAspending leftover 90 or 98 code?

No. District 90 is the unspecified leftover and District 98 is the non-voting bucket. KS-03 is numbered District 03, a voting House seat. At-large 00 is used for single-district states, not Kansas. Keep $6.7B on the mapped 3rd page. 7,837 awards share the KS-03 tag, not 90, 98, or 00.

Does a KS-03 listing mean the contractor is headquartered in the 3rd?

No. The district field is place of performance. Recipients based outside the 3rd can still appear if the performance location is coded to KS-03. A 3rd-district headquarters can also map dollars to another district when performance is coded there. 7,837 awards follow the performance field, not HQ.

Is $6.7B the amount Treasury paid out in Kansas District 03?

No. $6.7B is an obligation sum from FY2024 award records. Outlays are a different series. SpendingVault does not convert the Kansas District 03 obligation total into Treasury outlays. Cite the figure with the obligation label, the FY2024 window, and KS-03 place of performance. 7,837 awards are the matching record count.
