USAID federal obligations in Massachusetts 5th District (MA-05)

USAID × MA-05 is 10 awards, not 10 missions

This page is a join: Agency for International Development and Massachusetts 5th District (MA-05). SpendingVault sums tagged obligations: $512,796,146.18 on 10 awards for awarding agency 072 with Massachusetts 5th District (MA-05) as place of performance. Agency 072 crossed with Massachusetts 5th District (MA-05) is a USAID listing filter, not a country-mission roster and not Massachusetts's entire foreign-assistance book. Treat the pair as a table intersection, not a ranking of districts as winners or losers, and not a claim that 10 awards equal that many country missions, implementers, or named NGOs.

Department of State awards sit outside this cell unless they also carry agency 072 and MA-05 geography. Place of performance in MA-05 can tag domestic implementers; it does not relocate the work overseas by itself. Correlation between this obligation sum and local activity statistics is not causation. Those statistics are not in the packet. Place of performance as MA-05 locates the tagged awards; it does not deposit $512,796,146.18 in a district treasury. Campaign contributions recorded on FEC.gov do not fund this USAspending cell.

Ten concentrated USAID rows on $513 million

Ten records against this dollar book is a concentrated USAID file. Mean obligation is a quotient, not a published mission budget. Mean obligation is about $51.28 million if $512,796,146.18 were divided evenly across 10 lines. That ratio is a quotient of two packet facts, not a published typical award. Award count is a row count of USAspending awards, including possible modifications. It is not a census of country missions, implementers, or named NGOs. Unique recipients are unpublished.

Agency code 072 is the Agency for International Development. The awarding-agency tag does not name implementers or country missions. This packet lists none of them. This page will not invent implementer names. Ten awards are not ten country missions or ten northern-suburb offices. Open Massachusetts 5th District (/districts/MA-05/) for the stored district table and Agency for International Development (/agencies/072/) for the national agency shelf. The $512,796,146.18 total remains an obligation rollup on tagged awards.

Massachusetts 5th District as USAID place of performance

Massachusetts 5th District (MA-05) is a congressional place-of-performance code. Other Massachusetts districts are other joins. A D.C.-coded USAID award is another cell. The district's all-agency obligation total is $35,808,517,228.83. $512,796,146.18 is the Agency for International Development slice of that book, about 1.4%. Remaining district dollars sit with other awarding agencies on Massachusetts 5th District, not inside this join. Massachusetts federal spending (/states/ma/) is the statewide parent.

An obligation is a recorded commitment. An outlay is a payment. The $512,796,146.18 headline is the obligation sum, not foreign assistance already delivered. No fiscal year is attached in this packet, so this page does not invent one. Citing the figure as cash already sent in Massachusetts 5th District (MA-05) confuses two USAspending concepts. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total.

USAID obligations are not aid already delivered overseas

The extract has no roster of country missions, implementers, or named NGOs. Facts remain $512,796,146.18, 10 awards, agency 072 (Agency for International Development), Massachusetts 5th District (MA-05), and a district-wide book of $35,808,517,228.83. This page will not invent a contractor league table. Sibling district-agency joins are separate obligation totals, not a better or worse score. Confusing this join with a statewide USAID total or a Department of State overlay would be a different overlay.

Keep the obligation word on $512,796,146.18. Keep both Agency for International Development and Massachusetts 5th District (MA-05) in the citation. All spending ties (/ties/) indexes other pairs. Mixing those shelves would invent a share of Massachusetts spending or of Agency for International Development's national book the packet never computed. The $512,796,146.18 figure is the tagged pair only.

Citing agency 072 in Massachusetts 5th District (MA-05)

A clean footnote names Agency for International Development (agency 072), Massachusetts 5th District (MA-05), $512,796,146.18 in obligations, and 10 awards on USAspending.gov. Start at /districts/MA-05/ for the district overlay, /agencies/072/ for the agency rollup, /states/ma/ for Massachusetts statewide spending, and /ties/ for other pairs. If a later ingest moves the live overlay, prefer the overlay when the table and this snapshot diverge. A ties page exists because two tables meet.
