USAspending in Texas District 24, FY2024

Place of performance on TX-24, not contractor HQ

USAspending.gov tags TX-24 by where performance is recorded, not by where a vendor keeps its legal address. Work performed in the 24th district can land inside $7.0B even if the contractor is headquartered in another Texas seat or another state. Work performed outside the 24th does not enter this extract merely because a firm has a local office. Headquarters maps of “District 24 contractors” answer a different question from this page.

That split is the reason a reader can see an out-of-district name on the hub table. The 6,453 rows follow the performance field. A 24th-district headquarters can also post dollars to another district when the performance location is coded there. SpendingVault does not recast TX-24 as a roster of firms that live in the 24th.

What $7.0B measures on the 24th district file

Agencies obligated $7.0B in federal FY2024 on awards coded to Texas District 24 as place of performance. Cite $6,979,277,468.68 when a briefing needs the unrounded figure. This page does not convert that sum into Treasury outlays. First year and last year in the packet are both 2024, so the window is a single fiscal year, not a multi-year rollup.

If another Texas headline disagrees with $7.0B, check series, fiscal year, and whether geography is performance or headquarters before treating the gap as an error. Multi-year vehicles can obligate here in FY2024 and invoice later. The precise statement is that agencies obligated $7.0B on 6,453 awards with TX-24 place of performance.

6,453 FY2024 records for Texas’s 24th

6,453 awards share the TX-24 performance tag in FY2024. That is a mid-size action file: large enough that scanning every row by eye is impractical, and not so large that the extract is only a six-figure dump of small actions. The packet still does not invent a typical award from $7.0B and 6,453. Do not divide the dollar total by the row count and treat the quotient as a USAspending fact.

Keep 6,453 labeled as record volume. Repeat modifications add rows. One recipient can appear many times. The Texas District 24 hub is the table for inspecting lines. This packet does not rank the 24th against other Texas numbered seats.

Obligations versus cash paid

The $7.0B total is the obligation series. Obligations are legal commitments recorded in USAspending. Outlays measure disbursements and can lag. SpendingVault does not recast TX-24 as cash paid inside the 24th district in FY2024. Mixing the two series makes the 24th look inconsistent when the files are measuring different events.

Recipient-location maps, calendar-year totals, and state budget documents are other products. Match geography, year, and series before treating a disagreement with $7.0B as a data error. Cite TX-24 as FY2024 USAspending.gov place-of-performance obligations of $7.0B on 6,453 awards.

District 24 is not Texas leftover 90 or 98

Unspecified Texas dollars, if USAspending could not map them to a voting district, belong on a 90 page. Non-voting 98 rows are another leftover. At-large 00 is used for single-district states, not for Texas. TX-24 is the mapped 24th seat. Keep $7.0B on District 24. 6,453 awards share that numbered performance code, not a residual bin.

Texas District 24 is not the Texas statewide total. The state page is the roll-up; this page is District 24 only. Do not add leftover 90/98 rows to $7.0B. The all-districts index lists mapped seats and leftover codes without mixing their dollars.

Citing TX-24 without mixing statewide totals

Texas District 24 can be quoted in one sentence: $7.0B in FY2024 USAspending.gov obligations on 6,453 awards with TX-24 place of performance. The unrounded packet total is $6,979,277,468.68. That sentence already names the series (obligations), the year (federal FY2024), the geography (place of performance, not headquarters), and the district code (TX-24, a numbered 24th seat rather than leftover 90/98 or at-large 00).

The Texas District 24 hub is the live table. The Texas page is the statewide obligation index. The all-districts index is the directory of other mapped seats and leftover codes. SpendingVault does not add a unique-recipient count, an agency mix, or an outlay conversion. Do not fold unspecified Texas leftover dollars into $7.0B.

Questions

How many awards are in Texas District 24’s FY2024 file?

The FY2024 extract lists 6,453 awards with TX-24 place of performance. That count is record volume, not unique vendors. The matching obligation total is $7.0B ($6,979,277,468.68). Modifications and assistance actions can each add a row. The packet does not publish a unique-recipient total.

Is TX-24 a USAspending leftover 90 or 98 code?

No. District 90 is the unspecified leftover and District 98 is the non-voting bucket. TX-24 is numbered District 24, a voting House seat. At-large 00 is used for single-district states, not Texas. Keep $7.0B on the mapped 24th page. 6,453 awards share the TX-24 tag, not 90, 98, or 00.

Does a TX-24 listing mean the contractor is headquartered in the 24th?

No. The district field is place of performance. Recipients based outside the 24th can still appear if the performance location is coded to TX-24. A 24th-district headquarters can also map dollars to another district when performance is coded there. 6,453 awards follow the performance field, not HQ.

Is $7.0B the amount Treasury paid out in Texas District 24?

No. $7.0B is an obligation sum from FY2024 award records. Outlays are a different series. SpendingVault does not convert the Texas District 24 obligation total into Treasury outlays. Cite the figure with the obligation label, the FY2024 window, and TX-24 place of performance. 6,453 awards are the matching record count.
