Department of Commerce in California

Commerce awards tagged to California

Department of Commerce as awarding agency, California as place-of-performance: 1,469 records summing to $3,475,607,348.19. A Department of Commerce award coded outside CA is out. An award in California from a different awarding agency is out even if the topic sounds related. California (CA) excludes Nevada, Oregon, Arizona, and Hawaii. A Reno-coded award is Nevada even if a lab sits near the line.

One thousand four hundred sixty-nine awards is a mid-count Commerce file: neither a handful of fiscal vehicles nor an assistance flood. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not read 1,469 as 1,469 unique unique firms, NOAA stations, or census tracts. The overlay Department of Commerce in California is the both-keys table. California federal spending is the all-agency state hub. Department of Commerce is the agency book without a CA filter. All spending ties lists other joins.

NIST, NOAA, and EDA folklore is not a program split here. Those labels are unpublished inside $3,475,607,348.19. Correlation is not causation: California did not “cause” $3,475,607,348.19 by existing as a large or small place. Population and outcome scores are not packet facts. The join is 013 × CA only.

Not NOAA stations or a firm roster

$3,475,607,348.19 does not measure unique firms, NOAA stations, or census tracts. Those series are not USAspending fields on this aggregate. The cell sums award obligations with awarding-agency code 013 and a CA place-of-performance tag.

Do not treat 1,469 awards as a census of unique firms, NOAA stations, or census tracts. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If California federal spending or Department of Commerce matched $3,475,607,348.19 and 1,469, the join would be pointless. Use the overlay when both keys must stay on. Oregon, Nevada, and Arizona Commerce joins are other pairs, not addends.
