FY2024 USAspending in New Jersey’s 2nd district

67,404 awards on a thick NJ-02 file

67,404 is the FY2024 record count for NJ-02 place of performance beside $6.9B. A file this thick usually mixes contracts, assistance actions, and modifications; each can add a line. The packet does not publish unique recipients, so 67,404 is not a vendor census of New Jersey. A high award count does not by itself prove many small actions or a few large ones — this packet has no size table.

Do not divide $6.9B by 67,404. That quotient is not in the packet. Keep the dollar total and the row count as separate facts and use the New Jersey District 02 hub to inspect lines. Modifications can add rows without turning the extract into a unique-firm list. First year and last year are both 2024.

Place of performance, not a 2nd-district HQ roster

USAspending.gov tags NJ-02 by where performance is recorded. Work performed in the 2nd district can land inside $6.9B even if the contractor is headquartered in another New Jersey seat or another state. Work performed outside the 2nd does not enter this extract merely because a firm has a local office.

Even for a numbered New Jersey seat, the district field is still place of performance, not recipient headquarters. A 2nd-district headquarters can post dollars to another district when performance is coded there. The 67,404 rows follow that field, not the contractor’s legal address. Recipient-location maps are a different cut from this $6.9B file.

What $6.9B records on USAspending.gov

Agencies obligated $6.9B in FY2024 on awards coded to New Jersey District 02 as place of performance. Cite $6,937,931,545.03 when a briefing needs the unrounded figure. This page does not translate $6.9B into outlays. 67,404 awards are the FY2024 action stock.

If another New Jersey headline disagrees, check series, fiscal year, and whether geography is performance or headquarters. The precise statement is that agencies obligated $6.9B on 67,404 awards with NJ-02 place of performance. Multi-year vehicles can obligate here and invoice later.

District 02 is not New Jersey leftover 90

Unspecified New Jersey dollars, if USAspending could not map them to a voting district, belong on a 90 page. Non-voting 98 rows are another leftover. At-large 00 is used for single-district states, not New Jersey. NJ-02 is the mapped 2nd seat. Keep $6.9B on District 02. 67,404 awards share that numbered performance code, not a leftover bin.

New Jersey District 02 is not the New Jersey statewide total. The state page is the roll-up; this page is District 02 only. Do not add leftover 90/98 rows to $6.9B. The all-districts index lists mapped seats and leftover codes without mixing their dollars.

Citing NJ-02 without mixing series

New Jersey District 02 can be quoted as $6.9B in FY2024 USAspending.gov obligations on 67,404 awards with NJ-02 place of performance. Treat 67,404 as an action stock, not unique vendors. Keep other New Jersey numbered districts and any District 90 leftover on other rows. What this packet supplies is NJ-02 place-of-performance commitments, not outlays, not a headquarters extract, and not a multi-year series.

The New Jersey District 02 hub is the live table. The New Jersey page is the statewide obligation index. The all-districts index is the directory of other mapped seats and leftover codes. Quote $6.9B only with place of performance, federal FY2024, and the obligation series. Do not fold unspecified New Jersey leftover dollars into $6.9B.

Reading NJ-02 as a thick New Jersey extract

New Jersey District 02 can be briefed as $6.9B in FY2024 obligations on 67,404 awards with numbered code NJ-02. Treat 67,404 as an action stock, not unique vendors. Keep other New Jersey numbered districts — including the thinner District 04 file — and any District 90 leftover on other rows. What this packet supplies is NJ-02 place-of-performance commitments from USAspending.gov, not outlays, not a headquarters extract, and not a multi-year series.

The New Jersey District 02 hub is the live table. The New Jersey page is the statewide obligation index. The all-districts index is the directory of other mapped seats and leftover codes. Quote $6.9B only with place of performance, federal FY2024, and the obligation series. Do not fold unspecified New Jersey leftover dollars into $6.9B. Do not average $6.9B across 67,404 awards.

Questions

Why does New Jersey District 02 list 67,404 awards?

67,404 is the FY2024 record count for NJ-02 place of performance. A thick file usually includes contracts, assistance actions, and modifications, each of which can add a row. The matching obligation total is $6.9B ($6,937,931,545.03). The packet does not publish unique recipients, so 67,404 is not a firm headcount.

Is NJ-02 New Jersey’s unspecified 90 district?

No. District 90 is the unspecified leftover. District 98 is the non-voting bucket. NJ-02 is numbered District 02, a voting House seat. At-large 00 is not this page. Keep $6.9B and 67,404 awards on the mapped 2nd hub. Do not add 90/98 rows into this total.

Does NJ-02 spending mean the recipient is based in the 2nd?

No. Congressional district here is place of performance. Recipients based outside the 2nd can still appear if the work is tagged NJ-02. A 2nd-district headquarters can map dollars elsewhere when performance is coded to another seat. 67,404 awards follow the performance field, not HQ.

Is $6.9B the amount paid out in New Jersey District 02?

No. $6.9B is an obligation sum from FY2024 award records. Outlays are disbursements and can lag. SpendingVault does not convert the New Jersey District 02 obligation total into Treasury outlays. Cite $6.9B with the obligation label, FY2024, and NJ-02 place of performance.
