USAspending in Minnesota District 08

The Minnesota District 08 award file: 10,844 rows

10,844 awards share the MN-08 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 $7.5B and 10,844.

Keep 10,844 labeled as record volume. Repeat modifications add rows. The Minnesota District 08 hub is the table. This packet does not rank the 8th district against other Minnesota seats. MN-08 holds 10,844 awards and $7.5B on the 8th district performance tag, separate from Minnesota's 1st and 5th hubs.

$7.5B in FY2024 obligations

USAspending.gov records $7.5B ($7,486,346,128.97) as FY2024 obligations with MN-08 place of performance. SpendingVault reports that amount as obligations, not outlays. Minnesota's operating budget is another series and is not this total. 10,844 awards share the MN-08 performance tag.

SpendingVault indexes MN-08 as FY2024 place-of-performance obligations only. The $7.5B figure does not include later fiscal years and does not convert 10,844 awards into unique firms. Cite the year as federal FY2024 when the 10,844-award count is reused. Federal FY2024 starts October 1.

Place of performance versus headquarters

Place of performance is the geography this page uses. Recipient headquarters can sit in another Minnesota district or another state while the work is coded MN-08. The opposite pattern also appears: a District 08 address on the recipient file does not force every dollar onto this page. A recipient based outside the 8th can still appear among the 10,844 rows if place of performance is MN-08.

The Minnesota District 08 page is not a directory of firms headquartered in the 8th district. It is an obligation roll-up for awards whose performance location is coded MN-08. That is why a Minnesota company based outside District 08 can still appear, and why a local HQ can be absent. 10,844 awards follow the performance tag.

Obligations, not Treasury outlays

$7.5B is an obligation sum from FY2024 award records. Outlays are a different series. SpendingVault does not convert the Minnesota District 08 obligation total into Treasury outlays. If a Minnesota spending chart uses recipient location or calendar year 2024, it is not this page. Stay with place of performance, FY2024, and obligations when quoting $7.5B.

Do not brief $7.5B as money already spent in the 8th district. Brief it as FY2024 obligations on USAspending.gov with MN-08 place of performance. 10,844 awards are the matching action stock. Cash paid is a separate USAspending series this packet does not quote.

Why MN-08 is a mapped House seat

MN-08 names a voting House seat. Leftover 90/98 bins are separate USAspending codes, and 00 is reserved for at-large states. This 8th district file is none of those. If Minnesota has unspecified performance rows, they are not inside the $7.5B mapped total. 10,844 awards already carry the numbered tag.

Open the Minnesota page for the statewide obligation index, not as a substitute for MN-08. District 08 is one mapped performance geography. 10,844 awards and $7.5B stay on the 8th hub. Other Minnesota district pages use the same format on the all-districts index.

Keeping Minnesota District 08 on one series

The $7.5B FY2024 obligation total for MN-08 is an indexed USAspending.gov statistic. SpendingVault does not convert 10,844 awards into unique firms or cash paid, and it does not merge District 08 with a 90 leftover page. A complete citation names the 8th district, FY2024, USAspending.gov, place of performance, obligations, $7.5B, and 10,844 awards.

The Minnesota District 08 hub is the live table for MN-08. The Minnesota page is the statewide obligation index. The all-districts index is the directory of other mapped seats and leftover codes. Quote $7.5B only with place of performance, federal FY2024, and the obligation series. MN-08 holds 10,844 awards and $7.5B on the 8th district performance tag, separate from Minnesota's 1st and 5th hubs.

Minnesota District 08 can be quoted in one sentence: $7.5B in FY2024 USAspending.gov obligations on 10,844 awards with MN-08 place of performance. The unrounded packet total is $7,486,346,128.97. That sentence already names the series (obligations), the year (federal FY2024), the geography (place of performance, not headquarters), and the district code (MN-08, a numbered 8th 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 Minnesota District 08 hub; readers who need statewide Minnesota should open the Minnesota page. Do not average $7.5B across 10,844 awards. Do not fold unspecified Minnesota leftover dollars into $7.5B. First year and last year in this extract are both 2024.

Questions

What is the FY2024 obligation total for MN-08?

The FY2024 obligation total for MN-08 is $7.5B, exactly $7,486,346,128.97 in the packet. That figure is USAspending.gov place-of-performance obligations, not outlays. 10,844 awards are counted in the same extract. The year window is FY2024 only.

How is MN-08 different from district 90 or 98?

No. District 08 is a numbered voting House seat. Codes 90 and 98 are USAspending unspecified or non-voting buckets. District 00 is the at-large code; MN-08 is the numbered 8th. The $7.5B total uses the MN-08 place-of-performance code. 10,844 awards share that same numbered tag.

Does place of performance match headquarters for Minnesota District 08?

No. The district is place of performance. Recipients based outside the 8th can still appear on MN-08 if the performance location is coded to the 8th. An 8th-district headquarters can also map dollars to another district when performance is coded there. 10,844 awards follow the performance field, not HQ.

Can I treat $7.5B as cash spent in the 8th district?

No. $7.5B is not cash spent in the 8th district. It is FY2024 obligations. Outlays can lag or land in another fiscal year. Cite $7.5B with MN-08 place of performance and the obligation series. 10,844 awards are record volume, not a paid-invoice count.
