Agency 013 overlapping Massachusetts

Department of Commerce as awarding agency, Massachusetts as place-of-performance: 758 records summing to $1,012,271,635.12. A Department of Commerce award coded outside MA is out. An award in Massachusetts from a different awarding agency is out even if the topic sounds related. Massachusetts (MA) excludes New Hampshire, Vermont, Connecticut, Rhode Island, and New York. A Boston-coded award with a New Hampshire place-of-performance tag is a different cell.

758 awards against $1,012,271,635.12 is a 758-award Commerce file, denser than Tennessee’s Commerce join in this slice. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not read 758 as 758 unique named labs, NOAA vessel lists, or census-office headcount. Department of Commerce in Massachusetts is the both-keys table. Massachusetts federal spending is the all-agency state hub. Department of Commerce is the agency book without an MA filter. All spending ties lists other joins.

NIST, NOAA, and Census are not split here. Unique laboratories are unpublished. Do not invent them. Correlation is not causation: Massachusetts did not cause $1,012,271,635.12 by existing as a large or small place. Population and outcome scores are not packet facts. The join is 013 × MA only.

A Commerce cell is not a lab roster

$1,012,271,635.12 does not measure named labs, NOAA vessel lists, or census-office headcount. Those series are not USAspending fields on this aggregate. The cell sums award obligations with awarding-agency code 013 and an MA place-of-performance tag.

Do not treat 758 awards as a census of named labs, NOAA vessel lists, or census-office headcount. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If Massachusetts federal spending or Department of Commerce matched $1,012,271,635.12 and 758, the join would be pointless. Use the overlay when both keys must stay on. Neighboring-state Commerce joins are other pairs, not addends.
