Awarding-agency 072 meeting California
Department of State as awarding agency, California as place-of-performance: 79 awards summing to $515,703,424.91. A Department of State 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 Oregon, Nevada, and Arizona. A San Diego-coded award with an Arizona place-of-performance tag is a different cell.
79 awards against $515,703,424.91 is a 79-award foreign-affairs file, thin against a large dollar total. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not read 79 as 79 unique visa counts, passport volumes, or named overseas posts. Department of State in California is the both-keys table. California federal spending is the all-agency state hub. Department of State is the agency book without a CA filter. All spending ties lists other joins.
This slug is the California × agency-072 duplicate. Code 072 is the disambiguator. Shared display names do not merge 072 with 019. Unique posts are unpublished. Do not invent them. Correlation is not causation: California did not cause $515,703,424.91 by existing as a large or small place. Population and outcome scores are not packet facts. The join is 072 × CA only.
Department of State 072 is not code 019
$515,703,424.91 does not measure visa counts, passport volumes, or named overseas posts. Those series are not USAspending fields on this aggregate. The cell sums award obligations with awarding-agency code 072 and an CA place-of-performance tag.
Do not treat 79 awards as a census of visa counts, passport volumes, or named overseas posts. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If California federal spending or Department of State matched $515,703,424.91 and 79, the join would be pointless. Use the overlay when both keys must stay on. Neighboring-state State Dept 072 joins are other pairs, not addends.
