FY2024 USAspending in Texas’s 3rd district

The $12.4 billion FY2024 obligation file

$12.4 billion is the obligation total USAspending.gov attaches to Texas District 03 for fiscal year 2024. The figure is a sum of award commitments, not cash already paid and not Texas’s state budget. This page does not translate $12.4 billion into outlays. TX-03’s $12.4 billion is the FY2024 obligation file for that mapped seat. It is not a 90 unspecified bin and not a 98 non-voting bin. 3,521 awards are the matching count.

The packet’s year window is FY2024 only. First year and last year are both 2024. Federal fiscal years start October 1. USAspending.gov can still correct records, which would move $12.4 billion and the 3,521-award count. There is no FY2025 figure in this packet to add to $12.4 billion. Cite the year as federal FY2024 when the 3,521-award count is reused. Do not treat $12.4 billion as a calendar-year 2024 total.

TX-03 place of performance versus headquarters

Congressional district here is the USAspending place-of-performance field. A performance site coded to the 3rd district can appear even when the recipient’s headquarters sits in another Texas district or another state. A firm with a TX-03 mailing address can also post dollars elsewhere if performance is coded there. A recipient based outside the 3rd district can still appear among the 3,521 rows if place of performance is TX-03. Headquarters is the wrong join key.

District 03 is a numbered House seat. Texas rows that never received a voting-district number sit in district 90 (unspecified) or 98 (non-voting). Those buckets are not this TX-03 table. Do not merge this page with other Texas mapped seats. Unspecified Texas performance uses district 90, not this $12.4 billion mapped hub. Keep 3,521 awards on the 3rd district’s performance code.

3,521 awards on a short TX-03 extract

3,521 is a relatively short FY2024 record count for TX-03 place of performance beside $12.4 billion. A short extract can still include modifications. The packet does not publish unique recipients or an awarding-agency mix, so any reading of concentration is a comment on row count, not a named-vendor claim. Do not compute a typical award from $12.4 billion and 3,521 rows. That quotient is not a packet fact. Use the Texas District 03 hub to read individual records. $12.4 billion stays the FY2024 obligation roll-up for TX-03.

3,521 remains a record count. Modifications can add rows without turning the extract into a unique-firm list. The Texas District 03 hub is the table. $12.4 billion stays the FY2024 obligation roll-up for TX-03. If another briefing quotes a different Texas district, that is a different hub with its own packet — not a correction to 3,521 or $12.4 billion.

Obligations, not Treasury outlays

The $12.4 billion total is the obligation series. Outlays measure disbursements and can land in a later fiscal year. Mixing series makes TX-03 look inconsistent when the files are simply counting different events. SpendingVault does not recast this district as cash paid. A FY2024 obligation can fund later invoices; a later modification can change net amounts without turning this page into a cash register.

Recipient-location maps, calendar-year totals, and state budget documents are other products. Match geography, year, and series before treating a disagreement with $12.4 billion as an error. Cite TX-03 as FY2024 USAspending.gov place-of-performance obligations of $12.4 billion on 3,521 awards. Do not mix that total into an outlay sheet or a headquarters extract.

Texas statewide and the district index

Texas’s state hub is the statewide obligation view. TX-03 is one mapped place-of-performance district inside that state. Statewide Texas is not equal to District 03. Other Texas mapped seats have their own hubs; this packet does not quote those other figures. Stay on TX-03 for the 3rd district file.

The all-districts index lists other Texas seats and unspecified buckets in the same format. Compare TX-03 only on FY2024 obligations. This packet does not rank the 3rd district. Numbered seats and 90/98 leftovers are listed side by side in that index; they are not interchangeable geographies.

Keeping Texas District 03 on one series

The $12.4 billion FY2024 obligation total for TX-03 is an indexed USAspending.gov statistic. SpendingVault does not convert 3,521 awards into unique firms or cash paid, and it does not merge District 03 with a 90 leftover page. A complete citation names the 3rd district, FY2024, USAspending.gov, place of performance, obligations, $12.4 billion, and 3,521 awards.

Align comparisons to place of performance, federal FY2024, and obligations before placing $12.4 billion next to another Texas column. The Texas state hub and the all-districts index use the same rules. TX-03’s $12.4 billion and 3,521 awards stay on this page. Do not recode this extract as outlays, and do not treat district 03 as an unspecified bucket.

Questions

How much federal spending is in Texas’s 3rd district?

USAspending.gov shows $12.4 billion in FY2024 obligations with place of performance in Texas District 03. That is not an outlay total and not Texas’s state budget. The same extract counts 3,521 awards for TX-03. First year and last year are both 2024. Cite the figure as place-of-performance obligations, not headquarters spending.

Does TX-03 spending mean the contractor is based there?

No. The district is USAspending place of performance, not recipient headquarters. Work coded to Texas’s 3rd district can belong to a recipient based in another district or another state. A TX-03 mailing address does not force every dollar onto this hub. Only the performance tag puts an award among the 3,521 records.

Are Texas District 03’s $12.4 billion outlays?

No. $12.4 billion is an obligation sum from FY2024 award records. Outlays are cash leaving the Treasury. SpendingVault does not convert TX-03 obligations into outlays. Keep the obligation label and the FY2024 window when the figure is reused. The matching award count is 3,521.

How many awards are tagged to Texas District 03?

3,521 awards appear for TX-03 place of performance in FY2024. That figure is a record count, including modifications, not a unique-recipient census. This packet does not divide $12.4 billion by 3,521 to invent an average. Use the Texas District 03 hub to inspect individual lines.
