Federal Communications Commission in Minnesota

FCC awards tagged to Minnesota

This page is a join of two USAspending.gov fields: awarding agency Federal Communications Commission (code 027) and place-of-performance Minnesota. The extract sums to $1,776,524,522.51 on 6,630 awards. Those facts describe a coding intersection. They do not show that Federal Communications Commission spending caused Minnesota outcomes, or that Minnesota caused the federal award book.

The pair is not a Minnesota broadband-availability score or a cooperative membership count. Correlation of an agency label with a state code is not causation. Place-of-performance can follow a rural cooperative, a carrier, or an administrative address in the Twin Cities. Work tagged to Minnesota can involve parties elsewhere, and Minnesota work can be coded to another state.

FCC Form 477 maps and state broadband-office dashboards are other products. Mixing any of those series with $1,776,524,522.51 leaves the USAspending award file. The 6,630 figure counts award records, including modifications present in the extract, not unique people, firms, or facilities.

Six thousand awards under $1.78 billion

Six thousand six hundred thirty awards under a $1.78 billion book is a high-volume tape. Dividing $1,776,524,522.51 by 6,630 awards yields an implied mean near $267,952. That quotient is a ratio of two packet facts, not a typical award size and not a median. A few large vehicles can pull the average while many smaller rows sit below it.

Volume and dollars are different columns. Cite both 6,630 and $1,776,524,522.51. USAspending.gov is the source. SpendingVault does not recast $267,952 as a product schedule or a beneficiary payment.

Later ingests can revise $1,776,524,522.51 and 6,630. This prose is a packet snapshot. The overlay is the live table. If those two disagree, use the overlay. Keep the obligation label so the cell is not read as cash already paid in Minnesota.
