Louisiana’s $222.94B obligation aggregate
The $222.94B Louisiana total is a sum of obligation amounts on USAspending.gov awards for FY2024–2026. An obligation is a federal commitment on an award. It is not an outlay and not a Baton Rouge budget line. SpendingVault does not recode $222.94B as cash already paid.
Keep the two-decimal form when you reuse the number. A rounded slogan would leave the indexed extract. Beside the dollars, the file counts 212,091 awards. Both statistics come from USAspending.gov as indexed here.
212,091 awards on the Louisiana file
212,091 awards is a record tally. Modifications and assistance actions in the source increment it. The number is not a census of unique Louisiana recipients, and this packet does not publish one. Dollars and rows answer different questions.
The Louisiana spending hub shows $222.94B next to 212,091 awards so neither column is inferred from the other. This summary does not invent a typical award size from those two facts.
The three-year Louisiana window
Louisiana’s posted totals combine federal fiscal years 2024, 2025, and 2026. The $222.94B is a window sum. It is not a calendar-year stack and not a FY2026-only number. Federal fiscal years start on October 1.
Late actions in USAspending.gov can change $222.94B and 212,091 awards after a reload. Cite the current index and the three-year label. This packet does not include a download date.
Louisiana’s $222.94B is stacked from FY2024, FY2025, and FY2026 obligation amounts on USAspending.gov awards. That is a three-year index, not a calendar-year pile and not a Baton Rouge budget. Federal fiscal years begin on October 1. The 212,091-award count uses the same window and will shift when the file is corrected.
Louisiana’s 212,091 awards and $222.94B are FY2024–2026 file totals from USAspending.gov. They are not a Baton Rouge appropriation. The Louisiana spending hub is the table view. This packet does not convert obligations into outlays.
Louisiana’s $222.94B and 212,091 awards are window totals, not a single-year pair. Keep FY2024–2026 on the citation. The Louisiana spending hub and related obligation tables stay on that USAspending.gov series.
Louisiana’s $222.94B remains a three-year obligation window even if a chart labels it 2026. The 212,091-award count shares that window on the Louisiana spending hub.
Limits of the Louisiana roll-up
The Louisiana hub is an award-obligation index. Federal flows that never appear as awards sit outside $222.94B. Stretching 212,091 rows to cover every federal presence in Louisiana would invent coverage the files do not claim.
If a chart of Louisiana federal spending uses a different magnitude, check whether it used outlays or another year. Do not paste that chart onto $222.94B. Stay with USAspending.gov obligations for FY2024–2026.
Record count and dollars answer different questions. 212,091 awards describe how many rows were written. $222.94B describes how much was committed. Inferring a typical Louisiana award size from those two facts would invent a statistic this packet does not include.
A federal fiscal year starts on October 1. Citing $222.94B as calendar years will misalign a chart. Keep the three-year federal label and the obligation word on every reuse.
