USAspending in New York’s 20th district for FY2024

The FY2024 obligation figure for NY-20

USAspending.gov’s award files sum to $56.8 billion in obligations for performance located in New York District 20 during fiscal year 2024. Obligation here means a recorded commitment, not a check that has already cleared. New York State’s own budget is a separate book and is not this $56.8 billion. New York District 20’s $56.8 billion is the FY2024 obligation file for that mapped seat. It does not stand in for statewide New York and does not convert 6,497 awards into unique firms.

This packet covers FY2024 only. It does not include a second fiscal year to add. October 1 starts the federal fiscal year. Corrections posted later on USAspending.gov can change both the $56.8 billion total and the 6,497-award count. There is no FY2025 figure in this packet to add to $56.8 billion. Cite the year as federal FY2024 when the 6,497-award count is reused.

Performance district versus recipient address

NY-20 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. An Albany-area performance site can appear even when the recipient’s legal address sits in another district or another state. A recipient based in another New York district can still appear among the 6,497 rows if place of performance is NY-20. Headquarters is the wrong join key for this hub.

Code 20 is a numbered House district. Unspecified New York performance that never received a House number is stored under USAspending district 90; non-voting buckets use 98. Those residual bins are not this NY-20 page. Unspecified New York performance uses district 90, not NY-20. The $56.8 billion mapped total should not be described as a leftover bin.

What 6,497 awards does and does not mean

6,497 is the FY2024 award-record count for NY-20 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 $56.8 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.

6,497 is a file count. Stacked modifications can inflate rows without adding new vendors. The New York District 20 hub shows the lines. This packet still withholds recipient names and does not split the $56.8 billion by agency.

Keeping obligations distinct from outlays

The $56.8 billion total is the obligation series. Outlays track Treasury disbursements and can land in different years than the original award action. SpendingVault’s NY-20 copy stays on obligations so the page does not silently switch series.

A news figure that calls District 20 “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 $56.8 billion index.

A clean NY-20 citation is FY2024 USAspending.gov place-of-performance obligations of $56.8 billion on 6,497 awards. If a chart already uses outlays or recipient HQ, do not paste this total into it.

New York statewide and other districts

New York’s state hub is the statewide obligation view. NY-20 is one mapped place-of-performance district inside that state. Statewide New York is larger than District 20 by construction; this packet does not publish the statewide total.

The all-districts list uses the same USAspending place-of-performance rule. Compare NY-20 only on FY2024 obligations. This packet does not rank the 20th district among New York’s other seats.

New York’s other mapped districts and any 90/98 buckets are separate pages. This packet does not quote their totals. Stay on NY-20 when the question is the 20th district’s performance extract.

What the New York District 20 page is for

The $56.8 billion FY2024 obligation figure for NY-20 answers a narrow question: what did USAspending.gov tag to place of performance in New York’s 20th district in that fiscal year. It does not answer how much cash left the Treasury, who the unique vendors were, or how New York’s state budget moved.

The 6,497-award count belongs in the same citation as a volume statistic, not as a quality score. SpendingVault indexes the rows. Readers who need another geography should open the New York state hub or the all-districts index rather than stretching NY-20 into a statewide proxy.

Questions

How much federal money is obligated in New York District 20?

USAspending.gov shows $56.8 billion in FY2024 obligations for place of performance in New York’s 20th district. That is not an outlay figure and not a state budget line. 6,497 awards are counted in the same FY2024 extract. First year and last year are both 2024.

Is NY-20 based on where the recipient company is based?

No. The district is USAspending place of performance. Headquarters in another New York district, or outside New York, can still appear here if the performance location is coded NY-20. A NY-20 legal address does not force every dollar onto this hub.

Are District 20’s $56.8 billion outlays?

No. $56.8 billion is an obligation total from FY2024 award records. Outlays are cash leaving the Treasury. SpendingVault does not recast the NY-20 obligation sum as outlays. Reuse the figure only with the obligation label and the FY2024 window. Keep the FY2024 obligation label and the place-of-performance geography whenever New York District 20 is cited.

How many awards are coded to New York’s 20th district?

6,497 awards appear for NY-20 place of performance in FY2024. The number is a record count, including modifications, not a unique-recipient census. This packet does not divide $56.8 billion by 6,497 awards to create an average. Keep the FY2024 obligation label and the place-of-performance geography whenever New York District 20 is cited.
