Congressionally-Identified Projects awarded by Department of Commerce

Cong. Projects × Commerce is CFDA 11.617, not an earmark catalog

This page is a join: Congressionally-Identified Projects (CFDA 11.617) and the Department of Commerce (agency 013). $530,411,608.31 is the obligation sum on that pair. It is not the government-wide assistance total, not every CFDA on All programs, and not cash already paid. Correlation is not causation: a large pair cell does not prove the Department of Commerce caused activity described by the program title, or the reverse. Campaign-finance tables are a different dataset; FEC donations do not fund these USAspending obligations.

/programs/11.617/ is the program parent without an awarding-agency filter. /agencies/013/ is the agency parent without this CFDA filter. /ties/ lists other pairs and /programs/ lists other CFDA hubs. A Congressionally-Identified Projects award tagged to a different awarding agency sits outside this cell even if the CFDA is still 11.617. A Department of Commerce award on a different CFDA sits outside even if the topic sounds related. One hundred seventy-eight awards is not 178 unique named earmarks. Modifications can add rows without a published project title.

Congressionally-Identified Projects as the program side

CFDA 11.617 is Congressionally-Identified Projects. Confusing this join with Justice congressionally recommended awards 16.753, Tech Hubs 11.039, Digital Equity 11.032, or a member-office folklore table would be a different table. Packet facts on the program side are the name Congressionally-Identified Projects, number 11.617, and program-wide obligations $530,411,608.31. This packet lists no award recipients and no contractor names. Any other vendor, school, tribe, carrier, or grantee list would be invented.

Readers sometimes treat a CFDA–agency total as a budget Congress passed for a named activity. $530,411,608.31 is not that. It is the USAspending obligation rollup tagged to Congressionally-Identified Projects and awarded by the Department of Commerce. Cite both sides. Do not treat this cell as Department of Justice Congressionally Recommended Awards (CFDA 16.753). Different agency, different CFDA.

Department of Commerce as the awarding-agency side

Awarding-agency code 013 is the Department of Commerce. It is not a bureau split inside that department, not a place-of-performance state, and not a NAICS industry. In this extract the pair cell $530,411,608.31 matches the program-wide obligation total $530,411,608.31. Do not treat the program-wide $530,411,608.31 as if it were automatically the pair headline when the two figures differ. When they match, equality still does not name recipients.

Department of Commerce shows how Congressionally-Identified Projects sits beside other CFDAs the Department of Commerce awards. This packet has no outlay total, no recipient roster, and no fiscal-year split. Project titles, member-office names, or nist/eda office splits are unpublished. Project titles, sponsor names, and earmark line items are unpublished on this packet.

178 awards behind the identified-projects–Commerce cell

The extract lists 178 awards on the Cong. Projects × Commerce pair. A mid-size identified-project file: 178 awards against a large obligation total. Dividing $530,411,608.31 by 178 yields about $2.98 million per award — a quotient of two packet facts, not a typical invoice and not a median. Unique recipients are unpublished. Modifications can add rows without naming a new organization. 178 is not an earmark-project catalog, a named-sponsor roster, or a ribbon-cutting calendar.

Identified-project obligations are not construction draws already made

An obligation is a legal commitment. An outlay is a payment. $530,411,608.31 is the former. Citing it as cash already cleared over-reads the field. The join cannot say that the Department of Commerce specialized in cong. projects because of federal demand. Keep $530,411,608.31 labeled as Congressionally-Identified Projects obligations awarded by the Department of Commerce. It is not an earmark-project catalog, a named-sponsor roster, or a ribbon-cutting calendar. The packet publishes no fiscal year, so this page does not invent one.

Hubs for Cong. Projects awarded by Commerce

Open /programs/11.617/ for CFDA 11.617, /agencies/013/ for Department of Commerce, /programs/ for All programs, and /ties/ for All spending ties. None of those links convert this cell into Justice congressionally recommended awards 16.753, Tech Hubs 11.039, Digital Equity 11.032, or a member-office folklore table, into outlays this packet omits, or into a contractor list. Cite both sides: Congressionally-Identified Projects and Department of Commerce, CFDA 11.617, agency 013, $530,411,608.31, 178 awards, USAspending.gov, obligations only.
