USAspending in Texas District 16, FY2024

$9.7 billion as a single-year obligation sum

The $9.7 billion total is the obligation roll-up for awards whose USAspending place of performance is Texas District 16 in fiscal year 2024. An obligation is a legal commitment on an award record, not a Treasury disbursement and not Texas’s state budget. This page does not recode $9.7 billion as cash paid. 19,061 awards are the matching FY2024 row count.

First year and last year in the packet are both 2024. Do not treat $9.7 billion as a multi-year stack. Federal FY2024 begins October 1. A later USAspending.gov refresh can move both the dollar total and the 19,061-award count. Anyone adding a later fiscal year onto $9.7 billion is using a number this packet does not contain. SpendingVault indexes TX-16 as FY2024 place-of-performance obligations only; the $9.7 billion figure does not include later fiscal years and does not convert 19,061 awards into unique firms.

TX-16 tracks where work is coded, not HQ

Place of performance is the geography this hub uses. Recipient headquarters can sit in another Texas district or another state while the work is coded TX-16. The reverse also appears: a District 16 mailing address does not force every dollar onto this page. The 19,061 rows follow the performance field, not the contractor’s legal address.

District 16 is a numbered House seat. Texas dollars that USAspending could not map to a voting district sit in district 90 (unspecified) or 98 (non-voting). Those buckets are separate pages, not hidden rows inside TX-16. Unspecified Texas dollars live under 90 or 98, not inside the $9.7 billion mapped total.

19,061 award rows for the 16th district

19,061 awards is a FY2024 record count for TX-16 place of performance. Modifications and assistance actions can each add a line. The packet does not rank District 16 against other Texas seats and does not list unique recipients.

Keep $9.7 billion and 19,061 awards side by side. Dividing them would invent a typical award size this file does not contain. The Texas District 16 hub is the table of records, not a derived average. 19,061 rows remain a volume figure, not a vendor census.

Obligations, not outlays, on the TX-16 file

SpendingVault’s TX-16 copy cites obligations: $9.7 billion committed in FY2024 award files. Outlays are cash out the door and can lag or post in another year. Mixing the two series makes District 16 look inconsistent when the files are measuring different events.

If a Texas spending chart uses recipient location or calendar year 2024, it is not this page. Stay with place of performance, FY2024, and obligations when quoting $9.7 billion. Cite TX-16 as FY2024 USAspending.gov place-of-performance obligations of $9.7 billion on 19,061 awards.

Texas statewide versus the 16th district

The Texas state page is the statewide obligation index. District 16 is one mapped performance district inside Texas. Statewide Texas includes other numbered seats and any unspecified buckets; this packet does not quote that statewide sum.

Use the all-districts index to open other Texas place-of-performance pages in the same format. Compare on FY2024 obligations only. This file does not publish a rank for TX-16. Other Texas mapped districts have their own hubs. Use TX-16 only for the 16th district file.

How to cite Texas District 16

A complete citation names Texas District 16, FY2024, USAspending.gov, place of performance, obligations, $9.7 billion, and 19,061 awards. Dropping the obligation label turns the figure into cash paid. The 19,061-award count is record volume, not unique firms.

Comparisons built on headquarters ZIP or Treasury outlays need a rebuild on place of performance and federal FY2024 before $9.7 billion belongs in the grid. The Texas state hub and the all-districts index stay on obligations. SpendingVault does not convert TX-16 into outlays.

Texas District 16’s FY2024 extract is $9.7 billion in USAspending.gov place-of-performance obligations on 19,061 awards. TX-16 is a numbered House seat, not Texas District 10, 17, 23, or 25 and not a 90 leftover. 19,061 rows are record volume. $9.7 billion is not cash paid. The Texas District 16 hub is the table. Federal FY2024 is the entire year window in this packet.

Questions

How much federal spending is in Texas’s 16th district?

USAspending.gov records $9.7 billion in FY2024 obligations with place of performance in Texas District 16. That is not an outlay total and not Texas’s state budget. The matching award count is 19,061 for FY2024. The packet window is FY2024 only.

Does TX-16 mean the recipient is headquartered in the 16th district?

No. USAspending codes the district by place of performance. A recipient based outside TX-16 can still appear if the performance location is the 16th district. A TX-16 mailing address can also send dollars to other districts when performance is coded there.

Is the $9.7 billion for Texas District 16 cash paid?

No. $9.7 billion is an obligation aggregate. Outlays are a separate USAspending series. SpendingVault does not convert TX-16 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 Texas District 16?

19,061 awards are counted for TX-16 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 $9.7 billion and 19,061 rows. Keep the two columns separate; this packet does not publish a typical award size or unique-recipient census.
