FY2024 USAspending in North Carolina’s 3rd district

The $14.1 billion FY2024 obligation file

$14.1 billion is the obligation total USAspending.gov attaches to North Carolina District 03 for fiscal year 2024. The figure is a sum of award commitments, not cash already paid and not North Carolina’s state budget. This page does not translate $14.1 billion into outlays. NC-03’s $14.1 billion is the FY2024 obligation file for that mapped seat. It is not a 90 unspecified bin and not a 98 non-voting bin. 58,274 awards are the matching count.

The packet’s year window is FY2024 only. First year and last year are both 2024. Federal fiscal years start October 1. USAspending.gov can still correct records, which would move $14.1 billion and the 58,274-award count. There is no FY2025 figure in this packet to add to $14.1 billion. Cite the year as federal FY2024 when the 58,274-award count is reused. Do not treat $14.1 billion as a calendar-year 2024 total.

NC-03 place of performance versus headquarters

Congressional district here is the USAspending place-of-performance field. A performance site coded to the 3rd district can appear even when the recipient’s headquarters sits in another North Carolina district or another state. A firm with a NC-03 mailing address can also post dollars elsewhere if performance is coded there. A recipient based outside the 3rd district can still appear among the 58,274 rows if place of performance is NC-03. Headquarters is the wrong join key.

District 03 is a numbered House seat. North Carolina rows that never received a voting-district number sit in district 90 (unspecified) or 98 (non-voting). Those buckets are not this NC-03 table. Do not merge this page with other North Carolina mapped seats. Unspecified North Carolina performance uses district 90, not this $14.1 billion mapped hub. Keep 58,274 awards on the 3rd district’s performance code.

58,274 awards in a thick FY2024 file

58,274 is a thick FY2024 record count for NC-03 place of performance beside $14.1 billion. Thick extracts usually mix contracts, assistance actions, and modifications; each can add a line. The packet does not publish unique recipients, so 58,274 is not a vendor census. A high award count does not by itself prove many small actions or few large ones — this packet has no size table. Do not divide $14.1 billion by 58,274. Use the North Carolina District 03 hub to inspect lines. $14.1 billion remains the obligation total.

58,274 remains a record count. Modifications can add rows without turning the extract into a unique-firm list. The North Carolina District 03 hub is the table. $14.1 billion stays the FY2024 obligation roll-up for NC-03. If another briefing quotes a different North Carolina district, that is a different hub with its own packet — not a correction to 58,274 or $14.1 billion.

Obligations, not Treasury outlays

The $14.1 billion total is the obligation series. Outlays measure disbursements and can land in a later fiscal year. Mixing series makes NC-03 look inconsistent when the files are simply counting different events. SpendingVault does not recast this district as cash paid. A FY2024 obligation can fund later invoices; a later modification can change net amounts without turning this page into a cash register.

Recipient-location maps, calendar-year totals, and state budget documents are other products. Match geography, year, and series before treating a disagreement with $14.1 billion as an error. Cite NC-03 as FY2024 USAspending.gov place-of-performance obligations of $14.1 billion on 58,274 awards. Do not mix that total into an outlay sheet or a headquarters extract.

North Carolina statewide and the district index

North Carolina’s state hub is the statewide obligation view. NC-03 is one mapped place-of-performance district inside that state. Statewide North Carolina is not equal to District 03. Other North Carolina mapped seats have their own hubs; this packet does not quote those other figures. Stay on NC-03 for the 3rd district file.

The all-districts index lists other North Carolina seats and unspecified buckets in the same format. Compare NC-03 only on FY2024 obligations. This packet does not rank the 3rd district. Numbered seats and 90/98 leftovers are listed side by side in that index; they are not interchangeable geographies.

Keeping North Carolina District 03 on one series

The $14.1 billion FY2024 obligation total for NC-03 is an indexed USAspending.gov statistic. SpendingVault does not convert 58,274 awards into unique firms or cash paid, and it does not merge District 03 with a 90 leftover page. A complete citation names the 3rd district, FY2024, USAspending.gov, place of performance, obligations, $14.1 billion, and 58,274 awards.

Align comparisons to place of performance, federal FY2024, and obligations before placing $14.1 billion next to another North Carolina column. The North Carolina state hub and the all-districts index use the same rules. NC-03’s $14.1 billion and 58,274 awards stay on this page. Do not recode this extract as outlays, and do not treat district 03 as an unspecified bucket.

Questions

How much federal spending is in North Carolina’s 3rd district?

USAspending.gov shows $14.1 billion in FY2024 obligations with place of performance in North Carolina District 03. That is not an outlay total and not North Carolina’s state budget. The same extract counts 58,274 awards for NC-03. First year and last year are both 2024. Cite the figure as place-of-performance obligations, not headquarters spending.

Does NC-03 spending mean the contractor is based there?

No. The district is USAspending place of performance, not recipient headquarters. Work coded to North Carolina’s 3rd district can belong to a recipient based in another district or another state. A NC-03 mailing address does not force every dollar onto this hub. Only the performance tag puts an award among the 58,274 records.

Are North Carolina District 03’s $14.1 billion outlays?

No. $14.1 billion is an obligation sum from FY2024 award records. Outlays are cash leaving the Treasury. SpendingVault does not convert NC-03 obligations into outlays. Keep the obligation label and the FY2024 window when the figure is reused. The matching award count is 58,274.

How many awards are tagged to North Carolina District 03?

58,274 awards appear for NC-03 place of performance in FY2024. That figure is a record count, including modifications, not a unique-recipient census. This packet does not divide $14.1 billion by 58,274 to invent an average. Use the North Carolina District 03 hub to inspect individual lines.
