Department of Commerce federal obligations in Alaska

Agency 013 on Alaska-coded awards

This tie keeps USAspending rows where Commerce is the awarding agency and Alaska is the place of performance. The dollar book is $2,440,043,777.83. The award count is 620. Those facts describe a coding intersection. They do not prove that Commerce chose Alaska because of seafood, oil-support services, or remote census work.

Commerce bureaus include ocean, statistical, and standards shops whose contracts can land on ports, aircraft, and survey contractors. This packet does not split the 620 rows by bureau. A fisheries-survey action and a broadband or statistical task order can share the same statewide cell. Correlation is not causation.

Place-of-performance in Alaska can follow a vessel home port, a regional office, or a contractor address in Anchorage or Juneau. Work that occurs in federal waters or in another state can still carry an Alaska tag, and the reverse is true. The 620 figure counts award records, including modifications, not unique vessels or villages.

Six hundred twenty awards under $2.44 billion

Dividing $2,440,043,777.83 by 620 awards yields an implied mean near $3,935,554. That blended average can hide a few large survey, ship, or facilities vehicles next to many smaller grants. The packet has no median and no bureau shares.

Six hundred twenty rows is a compact tape for $2.44 billion compared with high-volume loan files. Cite volume and dollars together. USAspending.gov is the source. Do not treat the mean as a typical NOAA contract price.

Alaska’s size and coastline make place-of-performance especially easy to misread. A survey aircraft, a port contractor, or a Juneau office can carry an Alaska tag while the work spans federal waters or other states. $2,440,043,777.83 remains an awarding-agency 013 × Alaska coding sum on 620 awards. Do not convert that cell into a fisheries-value score or into Treasury cash. The overlay is the live table if this snapshot and the hub diverge.

Alaska statewide versus Commerce nationwide

Alaska’s all-agency hub includes Defense, Interior, and every other awarding agency with performance in the state. $2,440,043,777.83 is only Commerce. Commerce nationwide includes every state. This join is the overlap.

State of Alaska budgets and commercial fisheries value reports are other books. Mixing them with this award file leaves the USAspending obligation definition. This packet has no landing-tonnage figures to quote.

Interior, Defense, and transportation awards with Alaska performance sit outside this Commerce cell. Readers who need the full Alaska book should start on the state hub. Readers who need Commerce without a state filter should start on agency 013. $2,440,043,777.83 is only the overlap. Keep both sides of the join when you cite the figure so it is not mistaken for Alaska’s entire federal obligation total.

Obligations on a remote geography tag

Multi-year survey and satellite-support vehicles can remain open after the obligation posts. $2,440,043,777.83 is the commitment stock on Alaska-coded Commerce rows, not cash already spent in the boroughs. SpendingVault does not publish a Commerce-in-Alaska outlay total here.

Cite the pair as agency 013 × Alaska, $2,440,043,777.83, 620 awards, obligations only.

Overlay and parent hubs

The Alaska × Commerce overlay holds the structured rows. The Alaska state page and the Commerce agency page are the parents. The ties index lists other state–agency pairs.

None of those links add a bureau mix or a unique-recipient count this packet omits, and none convert $2,440,043,777.83 into outlays.

How to cite Commerce in Alaska

Cite USAspending.gov: Department of Commerce (awarding agency 013) obligated $2,440,043,777.83 on 620 awards coded to Alaska. Keep both sides of the join. Do not drop Alaska and call the figure a national Commerce total. Do not drop Commerce and call it Alaska’s entire federal book.

Later bulk files can revise both dollars and the 620-award count. This page is a snapshot. The overlay is the live table. The implied mean near $3,935,554 is a quotient of two packet facts, not a typical bureau action.
