Rhode Island’s federal obligation index

Rhode Island’s $49.73B from award files

The $49.73B Rhode Island total is built from obligation amounts on USAspending.gov awards for FY2024–2026. Obligation means a recorded federal commitment. Outlay means cash movement at Treasury. This page keeps Rhode Island on the first series. The state’s own budget is not the source of $49.73B.

Reuse the two-decimal form. A rounded slogan would not match the indexed extract. Beside the dollars, the file counts 33,888 awards for Rhode Island. Both numbers come from USAspending.gov as indexed on SpendingVault.

33,888 Rhode Island award records

33,888 awards is a count of records, not unique Rhode Island recipients. Modifications and assistance actions in the source add rows. This packet does not publish a recipient total. Dollar volume and row volume can move on different scales.

The Rhode Island spending hub places $49.73B next to 33,888 awards so neither column is inferred from the other. This summary does not invent a typical award size from those two facts.

FY2024–2026 on the Rhode Island index

Rhode Island’s posted totals combine federal fiscal years 2024, 2025, and 2026. The $49.73B is a window sum. It is not a calendar-year stack and not a FY2026-only number. Federal fiscal years start on October 1.

Late actions and corrections in USAspending.gov can change $49.73B and 33,888 awards after a reload. Cite the current index and the three-year label. This packet does not include a download date.

Rhode Island’s $49.73B combines federal fiscal years 2024, 2025, and 2026. It is not a calendar-year total and not a Providence appropriation. A federal fiscal year begins on October 1. The 33,888-award count shares that window. File corrections can change both statistics without changing the obligation definition.

Rhode Island’s 33,888 awards and $49.73B share the FY2024–2026 USAspending.gov window. Record count is not a recipient census. Dollar sum is not an outlay total. The Rhode Island spending hub is the place to see both at once.

Rhode Island’s $49.73B and 33,888 awards should travel together in any FY2024–2026 citation. The Rhode Island spending hub lists the rows. Agency, comparison, and per-capita pages keep the obligation definition from USAspending.gov.

What the Rhode Island tables omit

The Rhode Island hub is an award-obligation index. Federal flows that never appear as awards sit outside $49.73B. Stretching 33,888 rows to cover every federal presence in Rhode Island would invent coverage the files do not claim.

If a chart of Rhode Island federal spending uses a different magnitude, check whether it used outlays or another year. Do not paste that chart onto $49.73B. Stay with USAspending.gov obligations for FY2024–2026.

An obligation is a commitment. An outlay is cash at Treasury. Rhode Island’s $49.73B is the commitment series from USAspending.gov award files. Mixing an outlay headline with 33,888 award rows produces a false story.

Providence-area or state budget documents are a different book. Keep $49.73B labeled as obligations. Agency, comparison, and per-capita pages stay on that unit. This packet has no agency mix to quote.
