Department of State in North Carolina

State Department awards tagged to North Carolina

This page is a join of two USAspending.gov fields: awarding agency Department of State (code 072) and place-of-performance North Carolina. The extract sums to $1,831,849,983.84 on 57 awards. Those facts describe a coding intersection. They do not show that Department of State spending caused North Carolina outcomes, or that North Carolina caused the federal award book.

The pair is not a foreign-policy ranking or a count of visas issued in Carolina. Correlation of an agency label with a state code is not causation. Place-of-performance can follow a contractor campus, a training site, or an administrative address. Work tagged to North Carolina can involve parties elsewhere, and North Carolina work can be coded to another state.

State Department diplomatic cables, visa statistics, and embassy budgets are other products. Mixing any of those series with $1,831,849,983.84 leaves the USAspending award file. The 57 figure counts award records, including modifications present in the extract, not unique people, firms, or facilities.

Fifty-seven awards under $1.83 billion

Fifty-seven awards under a $1.83 billion book is an extremely short tape relative to the dollars. Dividing $1,831,849,983.84 by 57 awards yields an implied mean near $32,137,719. 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 57 and $1,831,849,983.84. USAspending.gov is the source. SpendingVault does not recast $32,137,719 as a product schedule or a beneficiary payment.

Later ingests can revise $1,831,849,983.84 and 57. 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 North Carolina.
