FY2024 obligations in New Jersey’s 3rd district

Reading NJ-03’s $34.2 billion

The $34.2 billion figure is the obligation sum for awards whose USAspending place of performance is New Jersey District 03 in fiscal year 2024. A commitment on an award record is not a Treasury disbursement. New Jersey’s state budget is another book and is not this total. New Jersey District 03’s $34.2 billion is the FY2024 obligation roll-up for that mapped seat. It is not a 90 bucket and not statewide New Jersey. 19,380 awards are the matching row count.

This packet covers FY2024 only. First year and last year are both 2024. Federal fiscal years start on October 1. Corrections posted later on USAspending.gov can change both the $34.2 billion total and the 19,380-award count. The year window is FY2024 only. A calendar-year 2024 chart is a different cut. Keep 19,380 awards with $34.2 billion as FY2024 facts.

Performance district versus recipient address

NJ-03 on SpendingVault is the place-of-performance congressional district from USAspending.gov. It is not a map of where prime contractors file their taxes or keep their HQ. A central or southern New Jersey performance site can appear even when the recipient’s legal address sits in another New Jersey district, New York, Pennsylvania, or farther away. Place of performance, not a New Jersey mailing address, fills the 19,380-row table. Headquarters in another district can still appear if the work is coded NJ-03.

Code 03 is a numbered House district. Unspecified New Jersey performance that never received a House number is stored under USAspending district 90; non-voting buckets use 98. Those residual bins are not this NJ-03 page. NJ-03 is a numbered House seat. Residual unmapped New Jersey performance stays off this hub. The $34.2 billion total is the mapped 3rd district only.

What 19,380 awards does and does not mean

19,380 is the FY2024 award-record count for NJ-03 place of performance. The extract can list modifications as separate rows. The packet does not identify unique recipients, NAICS mix, or awarding agencies.

Pair the count with $34.2 billion without dividing them. A per-award average would be an extra statistic this file does not carry. Use the district hub if you need to scan individual records rather than a derived mean.

19,380 rows can include modifications. The packet does not list unique recipients. The New Jersey District 03 hub is the table. $34.2 billion remains the FY2024 obligation roll-up for NJ-03.

Keeping obligations distinct from outlays

The $34.2 billion total is the obligation series. Outlays track Treasury disbursements and can land in different years than the original award action. SpendingVault’s NJ-03 copy stays on obligations so the page does not silently switch series.

A news figure that calls District 03 “federal spending” may still be using outlays, calendar years, or recipient location. Match series, year, and geography before treating a disagreement as an error in the $34.2 billion index.

A usable NJ-03 citation names FY2024, USAspending.gov, place of performance, obligations, $34.2 billion, and 19,380 awards. Leaving off “obligations” is how the figure becomes cash paid in a later chart.

New Jersey statewide and other districts

New Jersey’s state hub is the statewide obligation view. NJ-03 is one mapped place-of-performance district inside that state. Statewide New Jersey is larger than District 03 by construction; this packet does not publish the statewide total.

The all-districts list uses the same USAspending place-of-performance rule. Compare NJ-03 only on FY2024 obligations. This packet does not rank the 3rd district among New Jersey’s other seats.

New Jersey’s other mapped seats have their own hubs. Statewide New Jersey is another page. This packet does not quote those other totals. Use NJ-03 only for the 3rd district file.

Keeping New Jersey District 03 on one series

The $34.2 billion FY2024 obligation figure for NJ-03 is an indexed USAspending.gov roll-up. SpendingVault does not grade the 19,380 awards or convert them into unique recipients.

Comparisons that already run on headquarters ZIP, calendar year, or outlays are other products. Align geography and year before placing $34.2 billion next to them. The New Jersey state page and the all-districts index follow the same obligation rule.

Questions

How much federal money is obligated in New Jersey District 03?

USAspending.gov shows $34.2 billion in FY2024 obligations for place of performance in New Jersey’s 3rd district. That is not an outlay figure and not New Jersey’s state budget. 19,380 awards are counted in the same FY2024 extract. First year and last year are both 2024.

Is NJ-03 based on where the recipient company is based?

No. The district is USAspending place of performance. Headquarters in another New Jersey district, or outside New Jersey, can still appear here if the performance location is coded NJ-03. A NJ-03 legal address does not force every dollar onto this hub.

Are District 03’s $34.2 billion outlays?

No. $34.2 billion is an obligation total from FY2024 award records. Outlays are cash leaving the Treasury. SpendingVault does not recast the NJ-03 obligation sum as outlays. Keep the obligation label and the FY2024 year when the figure is reused.

How many awards are coded to New Jersey’s 3rd district?

19,380 awards appear for NJ-03 place of performance in FY2024. The number is a record count, including modifications, not a unique-recipient census. This packet does not divide $34.2 billion by 19,380 awards. Keep New Jersey District 03 on FY2024 obligations and place of performance rather than headquarters or outlays.
