USAspending in New Jersey District 04, FY2024

A short 3,811-award file next to $6.9B

3,811 awards is a thinner record count than many New Jersey district hubs at a similar dollar scale, yet the obligation total still reaches $6.9B. That combination means the NJ-04 extract is not a swarm of tiny rows by default. The packet does not publish an average award size, so do not treat a quotient as a fact.

USAspending.gov is the source. First year and last year are both 2024, so 3,811 is a single-fiscal-year action count. Modifications can inflate row totals without adding unique vendors. This guide certifies the two rollups, not a vendor census. New Jersey District 04 is a different seat from District 02; those files are not interchangeable.

New Jersey performance location, not HQ

Congressional district on this hub is USAspending place of performance. A contractor based in another New Jersey district or another state can still sit inside $6.9B if the work is tagged NJ-04. A firm with a District 04 office can be absent if performance is coded elsewhere.

Headquarters maps of “4th district contractors” will not match this page. The page answers a narrower question: FY2024 obligations whose performance district is New Jersey’s 4th. 3,811 awards follow that field, not the contractor’s legal address. Recipient-location extracts are a different cut from this $6.9B file.

District 04 is not New Jersey’s 90 leftover

New Jersey District 04 is a mapped voting district. Codes 90 and 98 are USAspending unspecified or non-voting bins. Unspecified New Jersey performance, if it exists in the source file, would live on a 90-coded hub rather than inside this $6.9B total. At-large 00 is not the New Jersey 4th.

The New Jersey state page rolls all New Jersey place-of-performance codes together. That statewide view will not equal District 04’s $6.9B. Use the all-districts index to move among numbered New Jersey seats and residual buckets. Do not add leftover rows into $6,909,148,554.83.

Commitments versus cash paid

The $6.9B total is obligations. Obligations are legal commitments recorded in USAspending. Outlays are disbursements and can lag. SpendingVault does not recast NJ-04 as Treasury cash paid inside the 4th district in FY2024.

If another New Jersey headline disagrees, check series (obligations versus outlays), fiscal year, and whether geography is performance or headquarters. This packet supplies only the FY2024 obligation extract for NJ-04: $6,909,148,554.83 on 3,811 awards. An FY2024 obligation can fund later invoices.

Citing New Jersey’s 4th without mixing the 2nd

Report $6.9B as FY2024 USAspending obligations with New Jersey District 04 place of performance, on 3,811 awards. Do not relabel the code as unspecified. Do not convert 3,811 rows into unique firms. Do not drop the total onto an outlay chart, a headquarters map, or the District 02 hub unless that product already uses the same rules.

The New Jersey District 04 hub holds the award table. The New Jersey state page is the statewide obligation view. The all-districts index lists other New Jersey numbered districts and any 90/98 codes in the same format. This packet does not rank District 04 against other New Jersey seats. Federal FY2024 starts October 1.

Reading NJ-04 as a short New Jersey extract

New Jersey District 04 can be briefed as $6.9B in FY2024 obligations on 3,811 awards with numbered code NJ-04. Treat 3,811 as an action stock, not unique vendors. Keep other New Jersey numbered districts — including the much thicker District 02 file — and any District 90 leftover on other rows. What this packet supplies is NJ-04 place-of-performance commitments from USAspending.gov, not outlays, not a headquarters extract, and not a multi-year series.

The New Jersey District 04 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. A short 3,811-row file at this dollar scale still does not license an invented average award.

Questions

How many awards are in New Jersey District 04’s FY2024 file?

The FY2024 extract lists 3,811 awards with NJ-04 place of performance. That is a short file next to $6.9B in obligations. The unrounded dollar total is $6,909,148,554.83. 3,811 is record volume, not unique vendors. Modifications and assistance actions can each add a row.

Is NJ-04 the same file as New Jersey District 02?

No. NJ-04 is numbered District 04. New Jersey District 02 is a different mapped seat with its own obligation extract. District 90 is unspecified leftover and District 98 is the non-voting bucket. Keep $6.9B and 3,811 awards on the 4th district hub.

Can a firm outside the 4th appear on the NJ-04 page?

Yes. Place of performance, not headquarters, drives the district tag. A vendor based elsewhere can appear inside $6.9B if the work is coded NJ-04. A local headquarters can be missing if performance is coded to another district. 3,811 awards follow the performance field.

Does $6.9B mean Treasury paid $6.9B in the 4th district?

No. $6.9B is an obligation total. Outlays measure disbursements and can lag commitments. SpendingVault does not convert the New Jersey District 04 obligation sum into Treasury outlays. Cite $6.9B with the obligation label, FY2024, and NJ-04 place of performance.
