USAspending in Washington District 05, FY2024

Eighteen thousand four hundred ninety-one FY2024 actions

USAspending counts 18,491 awards with Washington District 05 place of performance in FY2024. Those records sum to $8.5 billion in obligations. 18,491 is a mid-thick action file: large enough that many rows can be modifications or smaller awards, but the packet does not prove the mix. It is not 18,491 unique companies.

Because first year and last year are both 2024, the count is a single-fiscal-year stock. It is not every award ever performed in the 5th. Later USAspending.gov corrections can revise 18,491 and $8,500,042,863.17 together or separately.

Place of performance in Washington’s 5th

The district tag is where performance is coded, not where the recipient’s headquarters sits. Federal work tagged WA-05 can be performed by vendors based in other Washington districts or other states and still sit inside $8.5 billion.

Firms with offices in the 5th can be missing when performance is coded to another Washington district, to Washington’s unspecified District 90 bucket, or to another state. Headquarters directories will not reproduce the 18,491-row file.

A numbered seat, not leftover code 90

Washington District 05 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 5th district’s performance code. Unmapped Washington performance, if present, would appear on a 90-coded hub.

The Washington 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 05 performance location in FY2024.

Obligations are not cash paid

SpendingVault’s district totals are obligations: legal commitments recorded in USAspending. Outlays are payments. The $8.5 billion figure is the former. Vehicles can obligate in FY2024 and invoice across later years.

The precise statement is that agencies obligated $8.5 billion on 18,491 awards with WA-05 place of performance in FY2024. It is not a statement that $8,500,042,863.17 left the Treasury inside the 5th that year. Federal FY2024 starts October 1.

Washington pages that sit beside WA-05

The Washington District 05 hub is the award table. The Washington state page is the statewide rollup. The all-districts index links to other Washington numbered districts and to unspecified 90/98 codes. A headquarters in the 5th without a WA-05 performance tag does not enter this file.

This packet does not publish other Washington district totals. None of those other dollars sits inside $8.5 billion. Keep WA-05 citations on obligations and the FY2024 window.

How to cite the 5th-district extract

Cite WA-05 as $8.5 billion in FY2024 USAspending obligations on 18,491 awards with numbered code WA-05. Treat 18,491 as an action stock, not unique vendors. Keep other Washington numbered districts and any District 90 leftover on other rows.

Work coded to WA-05 from a vendor based elsewhere does enter $8.5 billion. The Washington state page rolls all Washington codes and will not equal $8,500,042,863.17. Until a later extract, report $8.5 billion and 18,491 awards for WA-05 place of performance as obligations, not outlays.

Washington District 05 can be briefed as $8.5 billion in FY2024 obligations on 18,491 awards with numbered code WA-05. Treat 18,491 as an action stock, not unique vendors. Keep other Washington numbered districts and any District 90 leftover on other rows. What this packet supplies is WA-05 place-of-performance commitments from USAspending.gov, not outlays, not a headquarters extract, and not a multi-year series. A headquarters in the 5th without a WA-05 tag does not enter this file. Work coded to WA-05 from a vendor based elsewhere does enter $8.5 billion.

Questions

How much federal spending is in Washington District 05 for FY2024?

USAspending.gov records $8.5 billion in FY2024 obligations with a Washington District 05 place of performance, across 18,491 awards. The exact sum is $8,500,042,863.17. These are obligations, not outlays. District is performance location, not headquarters. The facts cover FY2024 only.

What does 18,491 awards mean for WA-05?

That is the FY2024 award-record count for the WA-05 place-of-performance code. It is not a unique-vendor count. Those records sum to $8.5 billion in obligations. Modifications can each add a row. The packet does not break the file by agency.

Is Washington District 05 a 90-code unspecified bucket?

No. District 05 is a numbered Washington congressional district. Codes 90 and 98 are USAspending’s unspecified or non-voting buckets. The $8.5 billion total is mapped to District 05, not to those residual codes.

Do contractors headquartered in the 5th all appear here?

No. Only awards with WA-05 place of performance enter the $8.5 billion and 18,491-award totals. A headquarters in the district is not sufficient. Work coded to another Washington district or another state will appear elsewhere. Cite obligations, FY2024, and place of performance.
