Department of Commerce in Mississippi

Commerce awards tagged to Mississippi

Department of Commerce as awarding agency, Mississippi as place-of-performance: 285 records summing to $1,903,861,473.26. A Department of Commerce award coded outside MS is out. An award in Mississippi from a different awarding agency is out even if the topic sounds related. Mississippi (MS) excludes Alabama, Louisiana, Tennessee, and Arkansas. A New Orleans-coded award is Louisiana even if the vessel works the same Gulf.

Two hundred eighty-five awards against $1,903,861,473.26 is a thin Commerce file: few rows, so the implied mean is large and easy to misread as a typical grant. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not read 285 as 285 unique exporters, NOAA landings, or unique Census operations. The overlay Department of Commerce in Mississippi is the both-keys table. Mississippi federal spending is the all-agency state hub. Department of Commerce is the agency book without an MS filter. All spending ties lists other joins.

Jackson, the Coast, and the Delta share one MS stamp. This packet does not name Ingalls, a NOAA lab, or a broadband grant inside the sum. Correlation is not causation: Mississippi did not cause $1,903,861,473.26 by existing as a large or small place. Population and outcome scores are not packet facts. The join is 013 × MS only.

Not a Gulf fisheries or exporter census

$1,903,861,473.26 does not measure exporters, NOAA landings, or unique Census operations. Those series are not USAspending fields on this aggregate. The cell sums award obligations with awarding-agency code 013 and an MS place-of-performance tag.

Do not treat 285 awards as a census of exporters, NOAA landings, or unique Census operations. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If Mississippi federal spending or Department of Commerce matched $1,903,861,473.26 and 285, the join would be pointless. Use the overlay when both keys must stay on. Alabama, Louisiana, and Tennessee Commerce joins are other pairs, not addends.
