North Dakota’s USAspending obligation book

Pairing $243.04B with 150,516 North Dakota awards

North Dakota’s packet is two columns: $243.04B in obligations and 150,516 awards, both from USAspending.gov for FY2024–2026. The dollar figure is a sum of commitment amounts. The award figure is a count of records, including modifications present in the source. Neither column is a unique-recipient census.

Because 150,516 awards sit under $243.04B, it is easy to invent an average action size. This page does not publish one. Use the North Dakota spending hub tables if you need distribution; the roll-up only documents the two file totals.

Obligation versus outlay for North Dakota

An obligation is a commitment on an award. An outlay is cash leaving the Treasury. North Dakota’s $243.04B is the first series. SpendingVault does not convert it into the second. Using $243.04B as a proxy for checks cleared will misstate timing.

North Dakota’s state budget is a separate document. It is not the source of 150,516 federal award records. Mixing General Fund tables with this $243.04B leaves the USAspending.gov award series.

North Dakota’s three fiscal years

The North Dakota index covers federal fiscal years 2024, 2025, and 2026. The $243.04B is their combined obligation sum. It is not a calendar-year total and not a FY2026-only figure. Federal fiscal years begin on October 1.

USAspending.gov remains open to corrections. Reloading North Dakota can move $243.04B and 150,516 awards. Cite the current indexed values with the FY2024–2026 window. This packet has no ingest clock to quote.

North Dakota’s $243.04B is a three-year obligation index: FY2024, FY2025, and FY2026. It is not a Bismarck appropriation and not a FY2026-only rate. Federal fiscal years begin on October 1. The 150,516-award count shares that bound and will shift when USAspending.gov posts corrections.

North Dakota’s 150,516 awards and $243.04B belong to FY2024–2026. Volume is not dollars. The North Dakota spending hub shows both. This packet has no unique-recipient total and no agency mix.

North Dakota’s $243.04B and 150,516 awards should travel together in a FY2024–2026 citation. The North Dakota spending hub lists the rows. Agency, comparison, and per-capita pages keep the obligation definition from USAspending.gov.

North Dakota’s $243.04B on 150,516 awards is complete as a roll-up. Inventing an annual average would leave this packet. The North Dakota spending hub keeps the documented pair only.

Coverage limits on the North Dakota hub

The North Dakota hub does not claim every federal dollar that touches the state. It claims award obligations from USAspending.gov. Flows that never become awards sit outside $243.04B. That boundary is definitional.

If a number you expected is missing, check the series and the year before treating 150,516 rows as incomplete in their own file. This packet does not add a recipient-location rule beyond the tagged North Dakota extract.

150,516 awards under $243.04B can tempt an average action size. This page does not publish one. Use the North Dakota spending hub for distribution. The roll-up only documents the two file totals from USAspending.gov.

Bismarck’s budget and Treasury outlays are other books. Stay with USAspending.gov obligations when you reuse $243.04B. Related views keep that unit.

Where to slice North Dakota further

Agency pages, state comparisons, and per-capita rankings branch off the North Dakota spending hub. They keep obligations as the unit. None of them recast $243.04B as Treasury outlays.

Follow those links when statewide North Dakota is too coarse. This packet has no agency mix. The facts to reuse are $243.04B, 150,516 awards, and FY2024–2026 from USAspending.gov.

An obligation is a commitment. An outlay is cash leaving the Treasury. North Dakota’s $243.04B is the first series. Mixing an outlay headline with 150,516 award rows produces a false story. Agency, comparison, and per-capita pages stay on obligations.

How to cite North Dakota’s totals

Cite North Dakota as $243.04B in federal obligations for FY2024–2026 from USAspending.gov award files indexed on SpendingVault, with 150,516 awards. Keep the word obligations. Do not call $243.04B cash already spent.

Any state comparison should use obligations on both sides and the same FY2024–2026 span. The North Dakota spending hub, agency index, comparison tool, and per-capita rankings all stay on that basis.

Cite North Dakota as $243.04B in federal obligations for FY2024–2026, USAspending.gov, SpendingVault, 150,516 awards. Keep two decimals. Keep the obligation word so $243.04B is not read as cash outlays or as the state budget.
