USAspending in Texas District 31, FY2024

A thinner action file beside $8.5 billion

USAspending counts 6,823 awards with Texas District 31 place of performance in FY2024. Those records sum to $8.5 billion in obligations. A file this thin beside that dollar total is a citation detail, not proof of a few giant contracts. The packet has no unique-recipient count and no award-size split.

Do not divide $8.5 billion by 6,823. That average is not in the packet. Keep $8,459,227,545.97 and 6,823 as independent facts. Because first year and last year are both 2024, the count is a single-fiscal-year stock, not a lifetime inventory of the 31st district. Texas District 21 is a separate numbered hub; this packet does not quote its total.

Place of performance, not a 31st-district HQ census

Place of performance assigns the district. Recipient headquarters do not. Federal work coded to Texas’s 31st can be performed by vendors based in other Texas districts or in other states. Those awards still sit in the $8.5 billion if the performance tag is TX-31.

Firms with offices inside District 31 can be missing when the work is coded to another Texas district, to Texas’s unspecified District 90 bucket, or to another state. HQ lists of “31st district contractors” will not reproduce this 6,823-row file.

Numbered Texas 31 versus codes 90 and 98

Texas District 31 is a voting House district. USAspending’s unspecified or non-voting buckets are 90 and 98. This page’s $8.5 billion is mapped to the 31st district’s performance code. Unmapped Texas performance, if present, would appear on a 90-coded hub, not here.

The Texas state page mixes numbered districts and any residual codes. Use that page for a statewide place-of-performance total. Use this page when the question is specifically District 31 performance location in FY2024.

Obligations, not disbursements

SpendingVault’s district totals are obligations: legal commitments recorded in USAspending. Outlays are payments. The $8.5 billion figure is the former. Contract vehicles can obligate in one year and invoice across several.

The precise FY2024 statement is that agencies obligated $8.5 billion on 6,823 awards with TX-31 place of performance. It is not a statement that $8,459,227,545.97 was paid in cash inside the district that year. Federal FY2024 starts October 1.

Texas pages that sit beside this hub

The Texas District 31 hub is the award table. The Texas state page is the statewide rollup. The all-districts index links to other Texas numbered districts and to unspecified 90/98 codes used in USAspending. A headquarters in the 31st without a TX-31 performance tag does not enter this file.

This packet does not publish other Texas district totals. None of those other dollars sits inside $8.5 billion. Keep TX-31 citations on the obligation series and the FY2024 window.

How to read a 6,823-row Texas file

Six thousand eight hundred twenty-three awards summing to $8.5 billion is a thinner numbered-district file than many $8 billion peers. That does not license an average-award claim. The Texas District 31 hub is the only place in this project to inspect the mix; the packet has no agency split.

Cite TX-31 as $8.5 billion in FY2024 USAspending obligations on 6,823 awards with numbered code TX-31. Keep other Texas seats and any District 90 leftover on other rows. Work coded to TX-31 from a vendor based elsewhere does enter $8.5 billion. Until a later extract, report $8,459,227,545.97 and 6,823 awards as obligations, not outlays.

Texas District 31 can be briefed as $8.5 billion in FY2024 obligations on 6,823 awards with numbered code TX-31. The 6,823-award count is thin beside $8.5 billion; keep those as independent facts. What this packet supplies is TX-31 place-of-performance commitments from USAspending.gov, not outlays and not a headquarters extract.

Questions

How much federal spending is in Texas District 31 for FY2024?

USAspending.gov records $8.5 billion in FY2024 obligations with a Texas District 31 place of performance, across 6,823 awards. The exact sum is $8,459,227,545.97. These are obligations, not outlays. District is performance location, not headquarters. The facts cover FY2024 only.

Why does District 31 have only 6,823 awards?

That is the FY2024 award-record count for the TX-31 place-of-performance code. It is not a unique-vendor count. Those records sum to $8.5 billion in obligations. A thinner file is not, by itself, a few large contracts. The packet does not break the file by agency.

Is Texas District 31 a 90-code unspecified bucket?

No. District 31 is a numbered Texas congressional district. Codes 90 and 98 are USAspending’s unspecified or non-voting buckets. The $8.5 billion total is mapped to District 31, not to those residual codes.

Do contractors headquartered in the 31st district all appear here?

No. Only awards with TX-31 place of performance enter the $8.5 billion and 6,823-award totals. A headquarters in the district is not sufficient. Work coded to another Texas district or another state will appear elsewhere. Cite the obligation label, FY2024, and TX-31 place of performance.
