Tennessee’s indexed federal obligation total

Tennessee’s USAspending.gov award files record $421.14B in federal obligations for fiscal years 2024 through 2026. SpendingVault treats that sum as obligations, not Treasury outlays. 287,801 awards are counted for Tennessee in the same window. The Tennessee hub holds the underlying tables.

Key figures

  • Tennessee’s indexed obligations are $421.14B for FY2024–2026.
  • USAspending.gov files count 287,801 awards for Tennessee in that span.
  • The $421.14B is obligations, not Treasury outlays.
  • The Tennessee hub is an award-file index, not the state budget.

Tennessee’s $421.14B obligation aggregate

The $421.14B Tennessee total is a sum of obligation amounts on USAspending.gov awards for FY2024–2026. An obligation is a federal commitment on an award. It is not an outlay and not a Nashville budget line. SpendingVault does not recode $421.14B as cash already paid.

Keep the two-decimal form when you reuse the number. A rounded slogan would leave the indexed extract. Beside the dollars, the file counts 287,801 awards. Both statistics come from USAspending.gov as indexed here.

287,801 awards on the Tennessee file

287,801 awards is a record tally. Modifications and assistance actions in the source increment it. The number is not a census of unique Tennessee recipients, and this packet does not publish one. Dollars and rows answer different questions.

The Tennessee spending hub shows $421.14B next to 287,801 awards so neither column is inferred from the other. This summary does not invent a typical award size from those two facts.

The three-year Tennessee window

Tennessee’s posted totals combine federal fiscal years 2024, 2025, and 2026. The $421.14B 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 in USAspending.gov can change $421.14B and 287,801 awards after a reload. Cite the current index and the three-year label. This packet does not include a download date.

Tennessee’s $421.14B is a three-year obligation index: FY2024, FY2025, and FY2026. It is not a Nashville appropriation and not a FY2026-only rate. Federal fiscal years begin on October 1. The 287,801-award count shares that bound and will shift when USAspending.gov posts corrections.

Tennessee’s 287,801 awards and $421.14B are the only two file totals in this packet for FY2024–2026. No agency breakout is included. Use the Tennessee spending hub and its agency, comparison, and per-capita links when statewide figures are too coarse.

Tennessee’s $421.14B and 287,801 awards close the packet for FY2024–2026. No other dollar or count is authorized here. The Tennessee spending hub, agencies, comparisons, and per-capita rankings continue from those two USAspending.gov statistics without converting them to Treasury outlays.

Tennessee’s $421.14B and 287,801 awards remain the only authorized file totals in this packet. Later USAspending.gov ingests can replace them; they do not change the obligation definition used on the Tennessee hub.

Limits of the Tennessee roll-up

The Tennessee hub is an award-obligation index. Federal flows that never appear as awards sit outside $421.14B. Stretching 287,801 rows to cover every federal presence in Tennessee would invent coverage the files do not claim.

If a chart of Tennessee federal spending uses a different magnitude, check whether it used outlays or another year. Do not paste that chart onto $421.14B. Stay with USAspending.gov obligations for FY2024–2026.

287,801 awards under $421.14B can tempt an average action size. This page does not publish one. Use the Tennessee spending hub for distribution. The roll-up only documents the two file totals from USAspending.gov.

Keep $421.14B labeled as obligations from USAspending.gov. Cash leaving the Treasury is an outlay. Nashville’s budget is a state document. Mixing those series with 287,801 award rows produces a false Tennessee total.

Related Tennessee pages

Agency lists, state comparisons, and per-capita rankings are available from the Tennessee spending hub. They keep the obligation definition. None convert $421.14B into Treasury outlays or into Tennessee’s state budget.

Use those pages when statewide Tennessee is too aggregated. This packet has no agency mix to quote. The reusable facts are $421.14B, 287,801 awards, and FY2024–2026.

An obligation is a commitment. An outlay is cash leaving the Treasury. Tennessee’s $421.14B is the first series. Mixing an outlay headline with 287,801 award rows produces a false story. Agency, comparison, and per-capita pages stay on obligations.

Putting Tennessee’s figures in a note

A complete Tennessee note names $421.14B in federal obligations, FY2024–2026, USAspending.gov award files indexed on SpendingVault, and 287,801 awards. Keep the obligation wording. Do not call $421.14B cash already paid.

State comparisons should use obligations on every side and the FY2024–2026 window. The Tennessee spending hub, agency index, comparison tool, and per-capita rankings all follow that rule.

Cite Tennessee as $421.14B in federal obligations for FY2024–2026, USAspending.gov, SpendingVault, 287,801 awards. Keep two decimals. Keep the obligation word so $421.14B is not read as cash outlays or as the state budget.
