Awards

290

Two filters produce one cell: Government Accountability Office as awarding agency 005 and District of Columbia as geography. USAspending.gov publishes $54,457,046.40 and 287 awards for that pair. Neither filter alone is the number on this page. 287 awards against $54,457,046.40 is a mid-size award list, not a handful of flagship vehicles and not a mass-action file. The implied mean is about $189,745.81 per award — a quotient of two packet facts, not a typical invoice. USAspending.gov is the source. Amounts are obligations, not outlays.

A mean of $189,745.81 without a distribution

Arithmetic is allowed: $54,457,046.40 ÷ 287 ≈ $189,745.81. Interpretation as a typical Accountability Office award is not allowed, because the packet has no median, no quartiles, and no award-type split. The 287 figure is not a count of distinct programs.

Capitol hill, the federal triangle, and southwest waterfront offices may be reader landmarks, not published subtotals. DC place of performance is a jurisdiction tag, not a building-by-building census of legislative offices. Those place names are folklore paths for search, unused as math.
