FY2024 obligations in Kentucky's 5th district

Reading Kentucky District 05's $7.8B

$7.8B is the obligation total USAspending.gov attaches to Kentucky District 05 for fiscal year 2024. The precise amount in the packet is $7,816,498,911. A commitment on an award record is not the same as a Treasury disbursement. 12,862 awards are the matching count, a separate column.

The packet's year window is FY2024 only. First year and last year are both 2024. USAspending.gov can still correct records, which would move $7.8B and the 12,862-award count. There is no FY2025 figure in this packet to add to $7.8B. Do not treat $7.8B as a calendar-year 2024 total.

KY-05 as a performance map

Congressional district here is the USAspending place-of-performance field. A performance site coded to the 5th district can appear even when the recipient's headquarters sits in another Kentucky district or another state. A firm with a KY-05 mailing address can also post dollars elsewhere if performance is coded there. Headquarters is the wrong join key for $7.8B.

USAspending.gov's district code on these rows is place of performance. HQ lists of "5th district contractors" will not match 12,862 performance-coded awards. A headquarters in the 5th without a KY-05 tag does not enter this file. Keep $7.8B labeled as a performance geography total.

Mid-size action count on KY-05

12,862 awards share the KY-05 performance tag in FY2024. That count sits in a middle band: large enough that scanning every row by eye is impractical, and not so large that the file is only a six-figure action dump. The packet still does not invent a typical award from $7.8B and 12,862.

Keep 12,862 labeled as record volume. Repeat modifications add rows. The Kentucky District 05 hub is the table. This packet does not rank the 5th district against other Kentucky seats. Kentucky's 5th district file lists 12,862 awards against $7.8B in FY2024 obligations.

Obligation series only on the Kentucky 05 hub

SpendingVault's KY-05 copy cites obligations: $7.8B committed in FY2024 award files. Outlays are cash out the door and can land in a later fiscal year. A later modification can change net amounts without turning this page into a cash register. Cite $7.8B with the obligation label.

The precise FY2024 statement is that agencies obligated $7.8B on 12,862 awards with KY-05 place of performance. Multi-year vehicles can obligate here and invoice later. Federal FY2024 starts October 1. Outlay totals, if published elsewhere, can disagree with $7,816,498,911 without either file being "wrong." They count different events.

Numbered District 05, not a 90 bucket

Do not read KY-05 as unspecified. USAspending stores unmapped Kentucky performance under district 90 and non-voting rows under 98. At-large states use 00. Kentucky District 05 is numbered District 05. $7.8B and 12,862 awards sit on that mapped code. Merging a 90 leftover into this hub would mix geographies the source keeps apart.

Statewide Kentucky on the Kentucky hub rolls up more than District 05. Other numbered seats and any 90/98 buckets sit outside this $7.8B file. The all-districts index is the directory. Compare only on FY2024 obligations. This packet does not publish a rank for KY-05.

How to place Kentucky District 05 next to other files

The 12,862-award count for KY-05 is FY2024 record volume, not a vendor census. SpendingVault indexes those rows next to $7.8B in obligations. Neither column explains the other, and this packet does not rank District 05 against other Kentucky seats. Outlay tables, headquarters maps, and calendar-year charts are other products.

The Kentucky District 05 hub is the live table for KY-05. The Kentucky page is the statewide obligation index. The all-districts index is the directory of other mapped seats and leftover codes. Quote $7.8B only with place of performance, federal FY2024, and the obligation series. Kentucky's 5th district file lists 12,862 awards against $7.8B in FY2024 obligations.

Kentucky District 05 can be quoted in one sentence: $7.8B in FY2024 USAspending.gov obligations on 12,862 awards with KY-05 place of performance. The unrounded packet total is $7,816,498,911. That sentence already names the series (obligations), the year (federal FY2024), the geography (place of performance, not headquarters), and the district code (KY-05, a numbered 5th seat rather than leftover 90/98 or at-large 00). SpendingVault does not add a unique-recipient count, an agency mix, or an outlay conversion. Readers who need the underlying rows should open the Kentucky District 05 hub; readers who need statewide Kentucky should open the Kentucky page. Do not average $7.8B across 12,862 awards. Do not fold unspecified Kentucky leftover dollars into $7.8B. First year and last year in this extract are both 2024.

Questions

How much did USAspending record for Kentucky District 05 in FY2024?

USAspending.gov records $7.8B ($7,816,498,911) as FY2024 obligations with KY-05 place of performance. 12,862 awards share that tag. SpendingVault cites obligations, not outlays. First year and last year in the packet are both 2024. Do not add a later fiscal year to $7.8B.

Does KY-05 mean at-large district 00?

No. KY-05 is numbered District 05, a mapped House seat. At-large states use district 00. Unspecified and non-voting rows use 90 and 98. $7.8B and 12,862 awards sit on the numbered 5th code, not on those leftover bins and not on an at-large 00 page.

Is $7.8B tied to recipient HQ in Kentucky?

No. The district is place of performance. Recipients based outside the 5th can still appear on KY-05 if the performance location is coded to the 5th. A 5th-district headquarters can also map dollars to another district when performance is coded there. 12,862 awards follow the performance field, not HQ.

Are KY-05 obligations the same as outlays?

No. $7.8B is an obligation sum from FY2024 award records. Outlays are a different series. SpendingVault does not convert the Kentucky District 05 obligation total into Treasury outlays. Cite the figure with the obligation label, the FY2024 window, and KY-05 place of performance. 12,862 awards are the matching record count.
