Department of Commerce in Texas

Commerce awards tagged to Texas

Department of Commerce as awarding agency, Texas as place-of-performance: 620 records summing to $4,025,491,161.02. A Department of Commerce award coded outside TX is out. An award in Texas from a different awarding agency is out even if the topic sounds related. Texas (TX) excludes Oklahoma, New Mexico, Louisiana, and Arkansas. A New Orleans-coded Commerce award is Louisiana.

Six hundred twenty awards against $4,025,491,161.02 is a mid-thin Commerce file. A few large assistance or contract vehicles can dominate the mean. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not read 620 as 620 unique unique firms, NOAA stations, or census respondents. Department of Commerce in Texas is the both-keys table. Texas federal spending is the all-agency state hub. Department of Commerce is the agency book without a TX filter. All spending ties lists other joins.

Houston, Dallas, and the border metros are unpublished cuts. Do not assign $4,025,491,161.02 to a named port or statistical office. Correlation is not causation: Texas did not cause $4,025,491,161.02 by existing as a large or small place. Population and outcome scores are not packet facts. The join is 013 × TX only. Campaign contributions do not fund these USAspending awards.

Not NOAA stations or a Census roster

$4,025,491,161.02 does not measure unique firms, NOAA stations, or census respondents. Those series are not USAspending fields on this aggregate. The cell sums award obligations with awarding-agency code 013 and a TX place-of-performance tag.

Do not treat 620 awards as a census of unique firms, NOAA stations, or census respondents. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If Texas federal spending or Department of Commerce matched $4,025,491,161.02 and 620, the join would be pointless. Use the overlay when both keys must stay on. Louisiana, Oklahoma, and New Mexico Commerce joins are other pairs, not addends.
