FY2024 USAspending in Vermont’s at-large district

Why the file uses district 00

Vermont elects one at-large member of the House. USAspending.gov stores that statewide seat as district 00, written here as VT-00. The $17.8 billion FY2024 obligation total is the place-of-performance roll-up for that at-large geography, not a “zero district” and not an unspecified bucket. 17,626 awards are the matching VT-00 row count.

District 00 is not district 90 or 98. Those codes are USAspending unspecified and non-voting bins. VT-00 is the mapped at-large seat. Unspecified Vermont performance, if any, would live on a 90 page rather than inside this at-large table. Do not treat $17.8 billion as a calendar-year 2024 figure. Federal FY2024 starts October 1.

$17.8 billion in FY2024 obligations

The $17.8 billion figure is the obligation aggregate on award records whose place of performance is Vermont at-large for fiscal year 2024. Obligation means a recorded commitment. It is not Treasury cash already paid, and it is not Vermont’s state operating budget. Even statewide, the district field is still place of performance. A headquarters outside Vermont can appear in the 17,626 rows if performance is coded VT-00.

The packet’s year range is FY2024 only. First year and last year are both 2024. Later USAspending.gov corrections can revise $17.8 billion and the 17,626-award count. District 00 names the at-large seat. District 90 would be unspecified Vermont performance, a different page from this $17.8 billion hub.

Place of performance across a statewide seat

Even for an at-large state, the district field is still place of performance, not recipient headquarters. A contractor based outside Vermont can appear on VT-00 if the performance location is coded to Vermont’s at-large district. A Vermont-headquartered recipient can post dollars to another state’s district if that is where performance is reported.

Because Vermont has a single House district, VT-00 covers the state’s mapped place-of-performance rows for that seat. It is still not a substitute for every federal dollar touching Vermont: unspecified 90/98 rows, if present, stay on their own pages, and recipient-location maps are a different cut.

17,626 rows can include modifications. The packet does not count unique Vermont vendors. The Vermont At-Large hub is the table. $17.8 billion remains the FY2024 obligation roll-up for VT-00 place of performance.

17,626 awards in the at-large extract

17,626 is the FY2024 record count for VT-00 place of performance. Modifications and assistance actions can each add a row. The packet does not publish unique recipients or an agency mix.

Do not divide $17.8 billion by 17,626 awards. That quotient is not in the packet. Keep the dollar total and the row count as separate facts and use the Vermont At-Large hub to inspect lines.

A complete VT-00 citation names at-large (district 00), FY2024, USAspending.gov, place of performance, obligations, $17.8 billion, and 17,626 awards. Calling the code “unspecified” would confuse it with district 90.

Obligations versus outlays, and the state hub

The $17.8 billion total is the obligation series. Outlays measure disbursements and can lag. SpendingVault does not recast VT-00 as cash paid. If another Vermont headline disagrees, check series, fiscal year, and whether geography is performance or HQ.

The Vermont state page is the statewide obligation view. VT-00 is the at-large place-of-performance district. The all-districts index lists other states’ mapped seats in the same format. This packet does not rank Vermont against other districts. They are related but not interchangeable if unspecified 90 rows exist on their own hub.

Citing Vermont’s at-large file without mixing codes

The $17.8 billion FY2024 obligation total for VT-00 answers how USAspending.gov tagged place of performance to Vermont’s at-large district in that fiscal year. It does not convert 17,626 awards into unique firms, and it does not recode district 00 as a 90/98 leftover.

Outlay tables, headquarters maps, and calendar-year charts are other products. Do not drop $17.8 billion onto those grids unless they already use place of performance, federal FY2024, and obligations. The Vermont state hub and the all-districts index remain the related geography on the same series rules.

Keep VT-00 labeled as the at-large mapped seat (district 00), not as a 90/98 leftover. $17.8 billion in FY2024 USAspending.gov obligations on 17,626 awards is the place-of-performance extract for Vermont’s statewide House geography. 17,626 rows can include modifications and assistance actions; they are not unique vendors. Even statewide, headquarters outside Vermont can appear when performance is coded VT-00, and a Vermont headquarters can map dollars elsewhere when performance is coded there. The Vermont state page is related but not interchangeable if unspecified 90 rows exist on their own hub. Outlay tables and calendar-year charts are other products. Do not drop $17.8 billion onto those grids unless they already use place of performance, federal FY2024, and obligations. First year and last year are both 2024. Cite VT-00 as at-large, FY2024, USAspending.gov, place of performance, obligations, $17.8 billion, and 17,626 awards.

Questions

How much federal spending is in Vermont’s at-large district?

USAspending.gov shows $17.8 billion in FY2024 obligations with place of performance in Vermont’s at-large district (VT-00). That is not an outlay total and not Vermont’s state budget. The extract counts 17,626 awards for VT-00 in FY2024. The packet year range is FY2024 only.

What does district 00 mean for Vermont?

USAspending stores Vermont’s single at-large House seat as district 00. VT-00 is that mapped seat, not an unspecified 90 bucket and not a non-voting 98 bucket. The $17.8 billion total uses that at-large place-of-performance code. 17,626 awards share the same VT-00 tag.

Are Vermont at-large dollars based on contractor headquarters?

No. The district is place of performance. Recipients based outside Vermont can still appear on VT-00 if the performance location is coded to the at-large district. A Vermont headquarters can also map dollars to another state’s district when performance is coded there.

Is $17.8 billion in VT-00 already paid out?

No. $17.8 billion is an obligation sum from FY2024 award records. Outlays are a different series. SpendingVault does not convert the Vermont at-large obligation total into Treasury outlays. Cite the figure with the obligation label and the FY2024 window. Cite the figure with the obligation label, the FY2024 window, and VT-00 place of performance rather than recipient headquarters.
