FY2024 USAspending in Kentucky’s 2nd district

Place of performance on KY-02, not contractor HQ

USAspending.gov tags KY-02 by where performance is recorded, not by where a vendor keeps its legal address. Work performed in the 2nd district can land inside $6.5B even if the contractor is headquartered in another Kentucky seat or another state. Work performed outside the 2nd does not enter this extract merely because a firm has a local office. Headquarters maps of “District 02 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 10,739 rows follow the performance field. A 2nd-district headquarters can also post dollars to another district when the performance location is coded there. SpendingVault does not recast KY-02 as a roster of firms that live in the 2nd.

What $6.5B measures on the 2nd district file

Agencies obligated $6.5B in federal FY2024 on awards coded to Kentucky District 02 as place of performance. Cite $6,544,242,071.27 when a briefing needs the unrounded figure. This page does not convert that sum into Treasury outlays. First year and last year in the packet are both 2024, so the window is a single fiscal year, not a multi-year rollup.

If another Kentucky headline disagrees with $6.5B, 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 $6.5B on 10,739 awards with KY-02 place of performance.

10,739 FY2024 records for Kentucky’s 2nd

10,739 awards share the KY-02 performance tag in FY2024. That is a mid-to-high 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 $6.5B and 10,739. Do not divide the dollar total by the row count and treat the quotient as a USAspending fact.

Keep 10,739 labeled as record volume. Repeat modifications add rows. One recipient can appear many times. The Kentucky District 02 hub is the table for inspecting lines. This packet does not rank the 2nd against other Kentucky numbered seats.

Obligations versus cash paid

The $6.5B total is the obligation series. Obligations are legal commitments recorded in USAspending. Outlays measure disbursements and can lag. SpendingVault does not recast KY-02 as cash paid inside the 2nd district in FY2024. Mixing the two series makes the 2nd 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 $6.5B as a data error. Cite KY-02 as FY2024 USAspending.gov place-of-performance obligations of $6.5B on 10,739 awards.

District 02 is not Kentucky leftover 90 or 98

Unspecified Kentucky 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 Kentucky. KY-02 is the mapped 2nd seat. Keep $6.5B on District 02. 10,739 awards share that numbered performance code, not a residual bin.

Kentucky District 02 is not the Kentucky statewide total. The state page is the roll-up; this page is District 02 only. Do not add leftover 90/98 rows to $6.5B. The all-districts index lists mapped seats and leftover codes without mixing their dollars.

Citing KY-02 without mixing statewide totals

Kentucky District 02 can be quoted in one sentence: $6.5B in FY2024 USAspending.gov obligations on 10,739 awards with KY-02 place of performance. The unrounded packet total is $6,544,242,071.27. That sentence already names the series (obligations), the year (federal FY2024), the geography (place of performance, not headquarters), and the district code (KY-02, a numbered 2nd seat rather than leftover 90/98 or at-large 00).

The Kentucky District 02 hub is the live table. The Kentucky 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 Kentucky leftover dollars into $6.5B.

Questions

How many awards are in Kentucky District 02’s FY2024 file?

The FY2024 extract lists 10,739 awards with KY-02 place of performance. That count is record volume, not unique vendors. The matching obligation total is $6.5B ($6,544,242,071.27). Modifications and assistance actions can each add a row. The packet does not publish a unique-recipient total.

Is KY-02 a USAspending leftover 90 or 98 code?

No. District 90 is the unspecified leftover and District 98 is the non-voting bucket. KY-02 is numbered District 02, a voting House seat. At-large 00 is used for single-district states, not Kentucky. Keep $6.5B on the mapped 2nd page. 10,739 awards share the KY-02 tag, not 90, 98, or 00.

Does a KY-02 listing mean the contractor is headquartered in the 2nd?

No. The district field is place of performance. Recipients based outside the 2nd can still appear if the performance location is coded to KY-02. A 2nd-district headquarters can also map dollars to another district when performance is coded there. 10,739 awards follow the performance field, not HQ.

Is $6.5B the amount Treasury paid out in Kentucky District 02?

No. $6.5B is an obligation sum from FY2024 award records. Outlays are a different series. SpendingVault does not convert the Kentucky District 02 obligation total into Treasury outlays. Cite the figure with the obligation label, the FY2024 window, and KY-02 place of performance. 10,739 awards are the matching record count.
