USAspending obligations in Ohio District 03

High dollars on 7,072 award records

7,072 awards summing to $9.3 billion is a thinner action file than many districts with similar obligation totals. The packet does not say those rows are a few large contracts. It also does not publish unique recipients. Keep $9,261,752,814.37 and 7,072 as independent facts. Do not compute an average award size from this packet.

First year and last year are both 2024. The 7,072-award count is a single-fiscal-year stock of actions, including modifications. It is not a lifetime inventory of work performed in Ohio’s 3rd district. Later USAspending.gov revisions can change both figures.

What the $9.3 billion obligation total is

The $9.3 billion figure is the FY2024 obligation aggregate for OH-03 place of performance. An obligation is a legal commitment on an award record. It is not a Treasury outlay and not Ohio’s state budget. SpendingVault does not convert the 3rd-district total into cash paid inside the district that year.

Federal FY2024 starts October 1. A calendar-year overlay is a different product. If another Ohio headline uses outlays or recipient location, it will not match $9.3 billion even when the district number is the same.

Place of performance assigns OH-03

Recipient headquarters do not place a row in Ohio District 03. The USAspending district field is where performance is coded. Vendors based elsewhere in Ohio or in other states can still appear in the $9.3 billion if the performance tag is OH-03.

An office inside the 3rd can be missing from the 7,072 records when performance is coded to another Ohio district, to Ohio’s unspecified District 90 bucket, or to another state. HQ lists of 3rd-district contractors are a different cut from this file.

Numbered District 03, not a 90 bucket

Ohio District 03 is a voting congressional district. USAspending uses 90 and 98 for unspecified or non-voting place-of-performance bins. This page’s $9.3 billion is mapped to OH-03. Residual Ohio performance that lacked a numbered seat would sit on a 90 hub, not here.

The Ohio state page mixes numbered districts and leftover codes. That statewide roll-up will not equal $9,261,752,814.37. Use the Ohio District 03 hub when the question is the 3rd district’s FY2024 performance-location obligations.

Related Ohio pages and how to quote the 3rd

The Ohio District 03 hub is the award table. The Ohio state page is the statewide view. The all-districts index lists other Ohio numbered seats and any 90/98 buckets. This packet does not quote those other totals, and none of them sits inside $9.3 billion.

A complete OH-03 citation names numbered District 03, FY2024, USAspending.gov, place of performance, obligations, $9.3 billion, and 7,072 awards. Calling the 3rd an unspecified district would misread the code. Work coded to OH-03 from a vendor based elsewhere does enter $9.3 billion. A headquarters in the 3rd without an OH-03 tag does not.

Ohio District 03 can be briefed as $9.3 billion in FY2024 obligations on 7,072 awards with numbered code OH-03. The 7,072-award count is modest beside $9.3 billion. Treat that pairing as two independent facts. It is not 7,072 unique companies and it is not an average-award claim. Keep other Ohio numbered districts and any District 90 leftover on other rows. None of their totals sits inside $9.3 billion. What it supplies is OH-03 place-of-performance commitments from USAspending.gov, not outlays, not a headquarters extract, and not a multi-year series. A headquarters in the 3rd without an OH-03 tag does not enter this file. Work coded to OH-03 from a vendor based elsewhere does enter $9.3 billion. The Ohio state page rolls all Ohio codes and will not equal $9,261,752,814.37. FY2024 is the only year in the facts.

Questions

How much federal spending is in Ohio District 03?

USAspending.gov records $9.3 billion in FY2024 obligations with Ohio District 03 place of performance, across 7,072 awards. The exact sum is $9,261,752,814.37. These are obligations, not outlays. The facts cover FY2024 only. Geography is performance location, not headquarters.

Why are there only 7,072 awards beside $9.3 billion?

7,072 is the FY2024 award-record count for OH-03 place of performance. It is not a unique-vendor count. The packet does not explain the mix of large and small actions. Do not divide $9.3 billion by 7,072. Use the Ohio District 03 hub to inspect lines.

Is Ohio District 03 an unspecified USAspending code?

No. District 03 is a numbered Ohio House seat. Codes 90 and 98 are unspecified or non-voting buckets. The $9.3 billion total is mapped to OH-03. Unmapped Ohio performance, if present, would appear on a 90-coded page.

Do 3rd-district headquarters automatically enter this file?

No. Only awards with OH-03 place of performance enter the $9.3 billion and 7,072-award totals. A headquarters in the district is not sufficient. Work coded to another Ohio district or another state will appear elsewhere. Cite obligations and FY2024 with the performance tag.
