General Services Administration in Maine

A very thin Treasury file on Maine

Department of the Treasury as awarding agency, Maine as place-of-performance: 28 records summing to $1,437,255,016.82. A Department of the Treasury award coded outside ME is out. An award in Maine from a different awarding agency is out even if the topic sounds related. Maine (ME) excludes New Hampshire, Massachusetts, and Canada. Place of performance is ME, not a New England rollup.

Twenty-eight records against $1,437,255,016.82 is an extreme-thin, high-mean Treasury file. Fiscal vehicles can mint few rows with large dollars. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not read 28 as 28 unique individual tax refunds, taxpayer counts, or named IRS campuses. The overlay Department of the Treasury in Maine is the both-keys table. Maine federal spending is the all-agency state hub. Department of the Treasury is the agency book without an ME filter. All spending ties lists other joins.

Agency code 020 is the awarding key on this cell. Do not merge it with a different Treasury code in another Maine join. Correlation is not causation: Maine did not cause $1,437,255,016.82 by existing as a large or small place. Population and outcome scores are not packet facts. The join is 020 × ME only.

Refunds are a different series

$1,437,255,016.82 does not measure individual tax refunds, taxpayer counts, or named IRS campuses. Those series are not USAspending fields on this aggregate. The cell sums award obligations with awarding-agency code 020 and an ME place-of-performance tag.

Do not treat 28 awards as a census of individual tax refunds, taxpayer counts, or named IRS campuses. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If Maine federal spending or Department of the Treasury matched $1,437,255,016.82 and 28, the join would be pointless. Use the overlay when both keys must stay on. New Hampshire and Massachusetts Treasury joins are other pairs, not addends.
