New Jersey’s award-file volume and dollars

1,170,518 New Jersey award records

New Jersey’s distinctive file statistic on this page is 1,170,518 awards for FY2024–2026. That is a count of USAspending.gov award records, including modifications and assistance actions in the source. It is not a count of unique New Jersey recipients. This packet does not publish a recipient total.

A file with 1,170,518 rows can still sum to $328.41B in obligations. Record volume is not a substitute for dollars. The New Jersey spending hub keeps both columns visible so readers do not treat a busy file as a larger obligation book than $328.41B.

The $328.41B obligation sum

The $328.41B New Jersey total is a sum of obligation amounts on those awards. An obligation is a commitment. An outlay is cash leaving the Treasury. SpendingVault does not convert New Jersey’s $328.41B into outlays. Trenton’s state budget is a different series.

Keep the two-decimal form. Rounding New Jersey would leave the indexed extract. Cite $328.41B as USAspending.gov obligations for FY2024–2026, not as cash already paid and not as the New Jersey state budget.

FY2024–2026 for New Jersey

New Jersey’s figures combine federal fiscal years 2024, 2025, and 2026. The $328.41B is a window total. It is not a calendar-year stack and not a FY2026-only run-rate. Federal fiscal years start on October 1.

Because USAspending.gov is a living file, later corrections can move $328.41B and 1,170,518 awards. Cite the current index and the three-year label. This packet does not include an ingest timestamp.

New Jersey’s 1,170,518 awards are the volume marker on this extract; $328.41B is the obligation marker. A file that busy is still not a larger dollar book than $328.41B. The New Jersey spending hub keeps both columns so record volume is not mistaken for cash. This packet does not publish a unique-recipient count.

New Jersey’s 1,170,518 awards are a volume statistic, not a larger obligation book than $328.41B. The New Jersey spending hub for FY2024–2026 keeps both columns. This packet does not publish unique recipients.

New Jersey’s $328.41B is the dollar answer; 1,170,518 awards is the volume answer. Keep them separate in a FY2024–2026 note. The New Jersey spending hub and related obligation tables continue from those two USAspending.gov statistics.

What the New Jersey hub excludes

The New Jersey hub lists award obligations. Federal flows that never become awards sit outside $328.41B. That boundary is definitional. Stretching 1,170,518 rows to cover every federal dollar in New Jersey would invent coverage.

If a headline disagrees with $328.41B, check whether it used outlays or another year. Do not paste that headline onto this award-file roll-up. Stay with USAspending.gov obligations for FY2024–2026.

FY2024–2026 is a federal window. The $328.41B is their combined obligation sum from USAspending.gov, not Trenton’s budget and not a calendar-year stack. A federal fiscal year starts on October 1. Late rows can move $328.41B and 1,170,518 awards after a reload.

Trenton’s budget is a different series. Treasury outlays are a different series. Stay with USAspending.gov award obligations. Agency and comparison pages on this site do not recast $328.41B as cash already paid.
