Agency for International Development obligations in North Carolina 4th District (NC-04)

USAID × NC-04 is a 17-row join, not an aid-to-North-Carolina census

This page is a join: Agency for International Development (agency 072) as awarding agency, and North Carolina 4th District (NC-04) as congressional district place of performance. SpendingVault sums tagged obligations to $1,437,278,925.84 on 17 awards. The join is awarding-agency 072 crossed with an NC-04 location field. Place of performance in a U.S. district does not mean the assistance was delivered to North Carolina residents, and it is not a named-implementer roster. Treat the pair as a catalog intersection, not a ranking of which district received more, and not a claim that 17 awards equal 17 countries, implementers, or unique contractors.

State Department lines, HHS global health, or USAID-coded awards in NC-02 sit outside this total unless they also carry agency 072 and NC-04. Mixing those books into $1,437,278,925.84 would invent a combined figure the packet never computed. Correlation between this obligation sum and local employment is not causation. Implementer names and destination-country tables are not in the packet. Place of performance as NC-04 locates the tagged awards; it does not deposit $1,437,278,925.84 in a district treasury. Research-triangle folklore is not a geography split in this packet and is not proof of a named implementer.

17 awards behind $1.44 billion

Mean obligation is about $84,545,819.17 if $1,437,278,925.84 were divided evenly across 17 lines. That ratio is not a published typical USAID award and not a per-country aid figure. Award count is a row count, including possible continuations and modifications. It is not a count of countries, implementers, or unique vendors. Seventeen awards against a $1.44 billion cell is an extremely thin, high-mean USAID file. One restatement can move the mean quickly.

A handful of large implementer vehicles can dominate a 17-row file without naming the vendor. This page will not invent contractor or recipient names. Open North Carolina 4th District for the stored district table. Do not convert 17 into a map of North Carolina 4th District aid implementers. The $1,437,278,925.84 total remains an obligation rollup on tagged awards. Inspect named lines on the overlay rather than inferring an implementer census.

North Carolina 4th District as a tag, not a destination country

North Carolina 4th District (NC-04) is one geography tag on USAspending awards, not a commuting zone and not a metro list. Awards tagged to NC-02, NC-06, or another North Carolina district are out. Awards tagged to a foreign place of performance are also out of this U.S. district cell. Recipient address can differ from that district tag. The district parent in this extract is $23,214,291,914.68 across every awarding agency; $1,437,278,925.84 is the Agency for International Development slice — about 6.2% of that parent by arithmetic. Subtracting is tempting; this page still does not publish the leftover agency list.

A statewide USAID figure on North Carolina federal spending mixes every district. Neither figure is a count of aid arriving as local public services. Do not rank NC-04 against neighboring districts as a winner or loser. Other North Carolina district cells are other joins. North Carolina federal spending is the statewide book without a district filter. Adding statewide Agency for International Development dollars to $1,437,278,925.84 would double count. Campaign-finance filings are a different public-record system; this join does not claim donations funded these obligations.

Agency 072 obligations are not foreign-aid outlays already spent abroad

USAID awards often obligate as contracts and assistance to implementers and draw as overseas programs operate. A U.S. district tag can reflect headquarters or performance coding, not a domestic benefits census. The $1,437,278,925.84 headline is the obligation sum, not a punch-list of foreign-aid dollars already spent in a named country and not a Treasury outlay total. A USAID Foreign Aid Explorer dashboard dated to a particular year is not automatically this join unless it uses agency 072, NC-04 geography, and the obligation metric.

Agency for International Development is the nationwide agency book without a NC-04 filter. This extract does not split health from humanitarian accounts, and it does not split contracts from grants. Those cuts would require award documentation beyond dollars, 17 awards, agency 072, and North Carolina 4th District. This page will not invent a share. Unique recipients remain unpublished.

What the NC-04 USAID table omits

The extract has no implementer names, destination countries, or contractor names. Facts remain $1,437,278,925.84, 17 awards, agency 072, Agency for International Development, North Carolina 4th District (NC-04), and district parent $23,214,291,914.68. Vendor folklore belongs on another extract if it appears at all. This page will not invent them. Keep the obligation label. Later ingests can revise both the dollars and the 17-award count; prefer the live table when the overlay and this snapshot diverge.

Where the USAID × NC-04 pair lives

Start with North Carolina 4th District for the district rollup that contains this Agency for International Development cell. Agency for International Development is the nationwide agency listing. North Carolina federal spending gives North Carolina context without a NC-04 filter. All spending ties indexes other two-key joins on the same obligation metric. Seventeen awards totaling this cell remain a thin administrative file, not a country-aid roster and not a North Carolina resident-benefit census. Keep both Agency for International Development and North Carolina 4th District (NC-04) in every citation sentence. Do not recast $1,437,278,925.84 as cash already paid or as North Carolina’s entire foreign-assistance appropriation. USAspending.gov remains the source; SpendingVault republishes the join.

Questions

How much USAID spending is obligated in North Carolina 4th District?

USAspending.gov shows $1,437,278,925.84 in Agency for International Development (agency 072) obligations with North Carolina 4th District (NC-04) as place of performance, across 17 awards. The sum is a commitment total, not outlays and not the district’s full $23,214,291,914.68 parent. Other agencies sit outside this join unless they also carry 072.

Do 17 awards mean 17 USAID implementers in NC-04?

No. Award count is a row count of Agency for International Development actions tagged to NC-04. It is not an implementer or country census. Unique recipients are unpublished. Mean obligation of about $84,545,819.17 is a quotient of $1,437,278,925.84 and 17.

Does a NC-04 place-of-performance tag mean the aid was spent in North Carolina?

Not as a resident-benefit census. Place of performance is a coding field on the award. $1,437,278,925.84 is about 6.2% of the North Carolina 4th District parent $23,214,291,914.68 by arithmetic. Destination-country tables are unpublished on this packet.

Is the NC-04 USAID total already paid as outlays?

Not on this metric. Obligations are recorded commitments on awards. Outlays are payments from the Treasury. The $1,437,278,925.84 headline is the obligation rollup in SpendingVault’s extract. Invoice draws and remaining balances are not published here.
