USAspending.gov obligations in Pennsylvania District 16

$7.2B on USAspending.gov for the 16th district

Pennsylvania District 16 shows $7.2B in FY2024 USAspending.gov obligations for place of performance. The indexed total is $7,170,434,544.96 across 6,369 awards. Those dollars are award commitments, not outlays. PA-16 is a numbered House seat, not an unspecified 90 code.

Until USAspending.gov revises the extract, $7.2B and 6,369 awards are the FY2024 PA-16 stock. The packet does not publish a prior-year comparison. Quote $7.2B with the obligation label and the FY2024 window. Pennsylvania's 16th district lists 6,369 awards next to $7.2B — a relatively short row count at this dollar scale.

6,369 award actions coded to PA-16

6,369 awards is a relatively short FY2024 record count for PA-16 beside $7.2B. A compact file at this dollar scale often makes large lines easier to spot when the hub is sorted by amount. The packet still does not identify which rows dominate $7,170,434,544.96. A short list is not a unique-recipient census.

Do not treat 6,369 as 6,369 Pennsylvania contractors. Do not divide $7.2B by 6,369; that average is not a packet fact. Use the Pennsylvania District 16 hub to inspect the lines behind $7.2B. Pennsylvania's 16th district lists 6,369 awards next to $7.2B — a relatively short row count at this dollar scale.

Keeping Pennsylvania District 16 off leftover bins

Keep Pennsylvania District 16 off leftover bins. A 90 or 98 Pennsylvania page, if it exists, is a different geography from the 16th district. PA-16 is numbered, not unspecified. $7.2B does not include those leftover codes. 6,369 awards are the mapped 16th action stock for FY2024.

The all-districts index lists PA-16 next to other Pennsylvania seats and leftover codes. Side-by-side listing does not make those geographies the same. Stay on the Pennsylvania District 16 hub for $7.2B. Statewide figures live on the Pennsylvania page, which this packet does not reprint.

The district field on Pennsylvania District 16

The Pennsylvania District 16 page is not a directory of firms headquartered in the 16th district. It is an obligation roll-up for awards whose performance location is coded PA-16. That is why a Pennsylvania company based outside District 16 can still appear, and why a local HQ can be absent. 6,369 awards follow the performance tag.

Place of performance is the geography this page uses. Recipient headquarters can sit in another Pennsylvania district or another state while the work is coded PA-16. The opposite pattern also appears: a District 16 address on the recipient file does not force every dollar onto this page. A recipient based outside the 16th can still appear among the 6,369 rows if place of performance is PA-16.

Outlays are a different Pennsylvania product

Do not brief $7.2B as money already spent in the 16th district. Brief it as FY2024 obligations on USAspending.gov with PA-16 place of performance. 6,369 awards are the matching action stock. Cash paid is a separate USAspending series this packet does not quote.

$7.2B is an obligation sum from FY2024 award records. Outlays are a different series. SpendingVault does not convert the Pennsylvania District 16 obligation total into Treasury outlays. If a Pennsylvania spending chart uses recipient location or calendar year 2024, it is not this page. Stay with place of performance, FY2024, and obligations when quoting $7.2B.

Using the Pennsylvania District 16 hub and related pages

Stay on PA-16 for the 16th district file. Other Pennsylvania mapped seats have their own hubs; this packet does not quote those other figures. The all-districts index lists other Pennsylvania seats and unspecified buckets in the same format. A headquarters in the 16th without a PA-16 tag does not enter this file.

The Pennsylvania District 16 hub is the live table for PA-16. The Pennsylvania page is the statewide obligation index. The all-districts index is the directory of other mapped seats and leftover codes. Quote $7.2B only with place of performance, federal FY2024, and the obligation series. Pennsylvania's 16th district lists 6,369 awards next to $7.2B — a relatively short row count at this dollar scale.

Pennsylvania District 16 can be quoted in one sentence: $7.2B in FY2024 USAspending.gov obligations on 6,369 awards with PA-16 place of performance. The unrounded packet total is $7,170,434,544.96. That sentence already names the series (obligations), the year (federal FY2024), the geography (place of performance, not headquarters), and the district code (PA-16, a numbered 16th seat rather than leftover 90/98 or at-large 00). SpendingVault does not add a unique-recipient count, an agency mix, or an outlay conversion. Readers who need the underlying rows should open the Pennsylvania District 16 hub; readers who need statewide Pennsylvania should open the Pennsylvania page. Do not average $7.2B across 6,369 awards. Do not fold unspecified Pennsylvania leftover dollars into $7.2B. First year and last year in this extract are both 2024.

Questions

How should I cite Pennsylvania District 16 federal spending?

Cite numbered PA-16, FY2024, USAspending.gov, place of performance, obligations, $7.2B, and 6,369 awards. The exact packet sum is $7,170,434,544.96. Do not call the geography unspecified, at-large, or cash paid. The Pennsylvania District 16 hub is the table for those rows.

Is District 16 the same as Pennsylvania's statewide total?

No. The Pennsylvania statewide hub is a different roll-up. PA-16 is one mapped performance district. Statewide Pennsylvania includes other numbered seats and any 90/98 buckets. This packet does not publish that statewide sum. $7.2B stays on District 16.

Do 6,369 awards equal unique Pennsylvania vendors?

No. 6,369 is an award-action count. One recipient can appear many times through modifications or multiple awards. The packet does not include a unique-vendor total, so this guide does not invent one. Keep 6,369 labeled as FY2024 record volume next to $7.2B.

Does $7.2B include later fiscal years?

No. First year and last year are both 2024. $7.2B is the FY2024 place-of-performance obligation total. Do not stack FY2025 or a calendar year onto $7,170,434,544.96. 6,369 awards match that same FY2024 window on PA-16.
