FY2024 USAspending in Pennsylvania’s 3rd district
Fiscal year 2024 award files on USAspending.gov attach $11.2 billion in obligations to place of performance in Pennsylvania’s 3rd congressional district. SpendingVault treats that total as obligations, not outlays. 5,635 awards share the PA-03 performance tag. The Pennsylvania District 03 hub holds the indexed rows. PA-03 is a mapped House seat, not Pennsylvania’s 90 leftover code. Keep $11.2 billion and 5,635 awards on the 3rd district’s FY2024 obligation hub.
Key figures
- FY2024 place-of-performance obligations in Pennsylvania District 03 total $11.2 billion.
- The extract counts 5,635 awards for PA-03.
- Geography is USAspending place of performance, not HQ.
- PA-03 is a mapped House district, not a 90/98 bucket.
- Cite $11.2 billion as obligations, not outlays.
$11.2 billion as FY2024 commitments
The $11.2 billion total is the obligation roll-up for awards whose USAspending place of performance is Pennsylvania District 03 in fiscal year 2024. An obligation is a legal commitment on an award record, not a Treasury disbursement and not Pennsylvania’s state budget. This page does not recode $11.2 billion as cash paid. 5,635 awards are the matching FY2024 row count.
Both first year and last year in the packet are 2024. The dollar figure is a one-year roll-up. Federal FY2024 starts October 1. USAspending.gov can still correct rows, which would move the indexed $11.2 billion and the 5,635-award count. Stacking another fiscal year onto $11.2 billion invents a total this packet does not contain. SpendingVault indexes PA-03 as FY2024 place-of-performance obligations only; the $11.2 billion figure does not include later fiscal years and does not convert 5,635 awards into unique firms.
PA-03 is a performance tag, not an HQ filter
PA-03 on this page means the work was coded to the 3rd district, not that the recipient’s legal office sits there. A contractor based in another Pennsylvania district or another state can still appear in the $11.2 billion if performance is tagged PA-03. A 3rd-district headquarters can also send dollars elsewhere when performance is coded to another seat.
District 03 is a numbered House seat. Pennsylvania awards that USAspending could not assign to a voting district are stored in district 90 (unspecified) or 98 (non-voting). Those residual files are not inside PA-03. The $11.2 billion mapped total excludes those leftover buckets. The 5,635 rows follow the performance field only.
5,635 awards on a large dollar file
5,635 awards is the FY2024 record count for PA-03 place of performance. The dollar total is $11.2 billion, so the row count is smaller than many district extracts at a similar obligation level. This packet still does not invent a typical award from the two columns and does not rank District 03.
Modifications and assistance actions can each add a line. The packet does not list unique recipients. The Pennsylvania District 03 hub is the table. Keep 5,635 awards labeled as record volume next to $11.2 billion in FY2024 obligations.
Why the obligation series stays on PA-03
USAspending.gov keeps obligations and outlays as separate series. Pennsylvania District 03’s $11.2 billion is the obligation series for FY2024. Outlays can lag those commitments. Mixing series makes the 3rd district look inconsistent when the files are measuring different events.
Recipient-location maps and calendar-year 2024 charts are other products. Stay with place of performance, federal FY2024, and obligations when quoting $11.2 billion. A complete PA-03 citation also names the 5,635-award count.
Pennsylvania statewide versus PA-03
The Pennsylvania state page is the statewide obligation index. District 03 is one mapped performance district inside Pennsylvania. Statewide Pennsylvania includes other numbered seats and any unspecified buckets; this packet does not quote that statewide sum.
The all-districts index opens other Pennsylvania place-of-performance pages in the same format. Compare on FY2024 obligations only. This file does not publish a rank for PA-03. Use PA-03 only for the 3rd district file.
Citing Pennsylvania District 03
Brief $11.2 billion as FY2024 USAspending.gov place-of-performance obligations in Pennsylvania District 03, on 5,635 awards. Do not divide the two figures. Do not drop the total onto an outlay chart. PA-03 is a mapped House district, not a 90/98 bucket.
Comparisons built on headquarters ZIP need a rebuild on place of performance before $11.2 billion belongs in the grid. The Pennsylvania state hub and the all-districts index stay on obligations. SpendingVault does not convert 5,635 awards into unique firms.
Pennsylvania District 03’s FY2024 extract is $11.2 billion in USAspending.gov place-of-performance obligations on 5,635 awards. PA-03 is a mapped House seat, not Pennsylvania’s 90 leftover. 5,635 rows are a modest count next to that dollar total, still not a typical-award size. Federal FY2024 is the only year. The Pennsylvania District 03 hub is the table. Statewide Pennsylvania includes other numbered seats this packet does not total.
Questions
- How much federal spending is in Pennsylvania’s 3rd district?
- USAspending.gov records $11.2 billion in FY2024 obligations with place of performance in Pennsylvania District 03. That is not an outlay total and not Pennsylvania’s state budget. The matching award count is 5,635 for FY2024. The packet window is FY2024 only.
- Does PA-03 mean the recipient is headquartered in the 3rd district?
- No. USAspending codes the district by place of performance. A recipient based outside PA-03 can still appear if the performance location is the 3rd district. A PA-03 mailing address can also send dollars to other districts when performance is coded there.
- Is the $11.2 billion for Pennsylvania District 03 cash paid?
- No. $11.2 billion is an obligation aggregate. Outlays are a separate USAspending series. SpendingVault does not convert PA-03 obligations into Treasury outlays. Cite the figure with the obligation label and the FY2024 window. Keep the obligation label, the FY2024 window, and the matching award count when the figure is reused.
- How many awards are tagged to Pennsylvania District 03?
- 5,635 awards are counted for PA-03 place of performance in FY2024. That is a record count, including modifications, not a unique-recipient roster. This packet does not invent a typical award from $11.2 billion and 5,635 rows. Keep the two columns separate; this packet does not publish a typical award size or unique-recipient census.
Congressional district is USAspending place-of-performance, not the recipient HQ. District 90/98 are USAspending unspecified/non-voting buckets.
