Department of Commerce federal obligations in Arkansas

Thirty-six Commerce rows on Arkansas

Department of Commerce as awarding agency, Arkansas as place-of-performance: 36 records summing to $1,080,784,759.50. A Department of Commerce award coded outside AR is out. An award in Arkansas from a different awarding agency is out even if the topic sounds related. Arkansas (AR) excludes Missouri, Tennessee, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas, and Oklahoma. A Little Rock-coded award with a Tennessee place-of-performance tag is a different cell.

36 awards against $1,080,784,759.50 is a 36-award Commerce file, thin against a nine-figure total. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not read 36 as 36 unique named plants, export invoices, or census-office headcount. Department of Commerce in Arkansas is the both-keys table. Arkansas federal spending is the all-agency state hub. Department of Commerce is the agency book without an AR filter. All spending ties lists other joins.

Thirty-six awards against about $1.08 billion is a thin file. Do not invent the recipients. Correlation is not causation: Arkansas did not cause $1,080,784,759.50 by existing as a large or small place. Population and outcome scores are not packet facts. The join is 013 × AR only.

A thin Commerce file is not a plant list

$1,080,784,759.50 does not measure named plants, export invoices, or census-office headcount. Those series are not USAspending fields on this aggregate. The cell sums award obligations with awarding-agency code 013 and an AR place-of-performance tag.

Do not treat 36 awards as a census of named plants, export invoices, or census-office headcount. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If Arkansas federal spending or Department of Commerce matched $1,080,784,759.50 and 36, the join would be pointless. Use the overlay when both keys must stay on. Neighboring-state Commerce joins are other pairs, not addends.

Arkansas, not a Delta-only map

Place of performance AR is a geography tag on the award, not a metro list and not a commuting zone. Arkansas (AR) excludes Missouri, Tennessee, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas, and Oklahoma. A Little Rock-coded award with a Tennessee place-of-performance tag is a different cell. Recipient address can differ from that state tag.

This packet does not split $1,080,784,759.50 by city, county, or named facility. 36 awards stay statewide. A county table would be a different extract. Campaign-finance filings do not fund these USAspending obligations.

Large means, still obligations

Even a thick or thin file records obligations, not necessarily outlays. $1,080,784,759.50 can include amounts that pay on a later schedule. Citing it as cash already sent in Arkansas confuses two concepts. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total.

Arkansas’s own budget is a different ledger. Mixing it with the 36 awards USAspending file leaves this series. No fiscal year is published in this packet, so this page does not invent one. Keep the obligation label on $1,080,784,759.50. Sharing a geography with Department of Commerce does not mean FEC donations funded these awards.

Citing Commerce in Arkansas

Cite USAspending.gov: Department of Commerce (agency 013) obligated $1,080,784,759.50 on 36 awards coded to Arkansas. Name both sides. Keep “obligations.” Do not relabel the total as named plants, export invoices, or census-office headcount.

Prefer Department of Commerce in Arkansas if the overlay has refreshed after an ingest. Arkansas federal spending still includes every other awarding agency tagged to AR. Department of Commerce is the 013 parent without the AR filter. All spending ties indexes other pairs. Do not add those parents into $1,080,784,759.50.

A usable footnote names Department of Commerce, Arkansas, $1,080,784,759.50, and 36. The compact headline $1.08B is that same dollar total rounded. It is not a second extract. The implied mean near $30,021,798.88 is $1,080,784,759.50 divided by 36. Means are not medians. USAspending.gov remains the originating system.

Thirty-six rows against a nine-figure Commerce sum

Arkansas’s Commerce overlay is thin: 36 awards totaling $1,080,784,759.50. The implied mean near $30,021,798.88 is large because the row count is small. HUD in Arkansas is a thick 086 file on the same state hub; it is not this cell. Do not invent the 36 recipients.
