What the NSF–Louisiana join is
Awarding agency 049 and place-of-performance state LA meet here. $275,558,281 is the obligation sum on awards that carry both tags. It is not National Science Foundation's nationwide budget, not Louisiana's entire federal inflow, and not cash already paid. NSF in Louisiana is a research-grant cell, not a hurricane-recovery ledger and not an LSU campus roster. Campus-lab and research-grant folklore and port, petrochemical-corridor, and Gulf folklore may send a reader here. Those stories are not packet NAICS and not a census of universities or polar stations.
399 award actions sit behind that dollar figure — a mid-size award list beside a large obligation total. A mid-size row list can mix large instruments with smaller service awards. The join does not rank Louisiana against other states and does not name campuses inside the extract. Unique recipients are unpublished.

399 NSF actions under one Louisiana filter
Dividing $275,558,281 by 399 yields about $690,622.26 per award on average. That average hides contracts, grants, and other instruments. It is not a typical research award. A second NSF slice on another state uses the same agency code and a different dollar total. Do not treat Louisiana's 049 total as a synonym for every National Science Foundation bureau account.
Campus-lab and research-grant folklore is a coding conversation, not a packet field. Agency names and recipient rows live on the overlay table, not in this narrative's extra columns. Port, petrochemical-corridor, and gulf folklore may explain a search path. It does not add dollars.
