Commerce obligations in Colorado 1st District (CO-01)

Commerce obligations coded to Colorado 1st District (CO-01)

Awarding agency 013 and congressional district CO-01 meet here. $837,969,240.53 is the USAspending.gov obligation sum on awards that carry both tags. It is not Department of Commerce’s nationwide total, not every federal dollar coded to Colorado 1st District (CO-01), and not an outlay register. The packet does not split Commerce bureaus or contract versus assistance instruments. 25 is an action count: modifications and repeat awards add rows. Unique recipients are unpublished. It is not a NOAA station list, a census-office map, or a named-grantee file.

Dividing $837,969,240.53 by 25 yields about $33,518,769.62 per award on average. That ratio is two packet facts. It is not a typical contract, grant, or benefit line. 25 awards is a thin Commerce file. A large implied mean is still not a named bureau office or contractor. Do not treat CO-01’s 013 cell as a synonym for every Commerce account nationwide. Open Colorado 1st District for the district table without this agency filter, Department of Commerce for agency 013 without a CO-01 filter, Colorado federal spending for every awarding agency in the Colorado extract, and All spending ties for the rest of the join list. Quote those hubs as parents, not as addends to $837,969,240.53.

What Commerce contributes to this pair

USAspending labels awarding agency 013 as Department of Commerce. That code produced $837,969,240.53 when crossed with Colorado 1st District (CO-01) place of performance. The agency-wide 013 hub does not require CO-01 geography. The district hub does not require Commerce. Only this tie applies both filters, which is why it cites 25 awards. The packet does not split Commerce bureaus or contract versus assistance instruments.

Correlation is not causation: Colorado 1st District (CO-01) did not “cause” $837,969,240.53 by existing as a large or small place. Population, outcome scores, and named facilities are not packet facts. The join is 013 × CO-01 only. It is not a NOAA station list, a census-office map, or a named-grantee file. Do not invent contractors or award recipients to fill the gap. Campaign donations on FEC tables do not fund this USAspending cell; the datasets are separate.

District geography versus Colorado statewide totals

Colorado 1st District (CO-01) on this join is a USAspending geography field, not a claim that every dollar was disbursed to residents of that district. Awards can list CO-01 while later work occurs elsewhere. Awards tagged to other Colorado districts belong on those ties even when the awarding agency is also 013. Colorado 1st District (CO-01) is a numbered congressional place-of-performance code inside Colorado. Other Colorado districts are separate joins even when they reuse awarding-agency 013. Colorado 1st District (CO-01) is a numbered place-of-performance stamp, distinct from CO-03 and CO-05. Agency 013 is Department of Commerce, not 069 or 047.

Colorado federal spending shows how agency 013 sits beside other awarding agencies in the same state extract. $837,969,240.53 is one district-agency column, not the state table. This packet does not split Colorado 1st District (CO-01) by county, city, or census tract. Awards that carry a different awarding-agency code stay on those other ties even if the work sounds related to Department of Commerce. The district-wide obligation total published here is $8,856,542,820.99; $837,969,240.53 is the Commerce slice of that denominator.

Why this is not an outlay register

USAspending.gov records an obligation when the federal government commits funds on an award. $837,969,240.53 is that kind of sum for Department of Commerce inside CO-01 coding. Later deobligations, recoveries, or payment schedules can change what leaves the Treasury without this join rewriting itself into a cash register. Assistance and contract awards can share the same awarding-agency rollup; this packet does not split them. Net obligations can include downward adjustments. This page reports $837,969,240.53 as given.

Colorado’s own budget is a separate ledger. Mixing it with the 25-row Commerce cell leaves USAspending.gov. Treat 25 as award records in the aggregate, not unique vendors. Do not annualize without a year field in the packet. Do not per-capita or per-recipient the dollar total; those denominators are unpublished. The implied mean ($33,518,769.62) is a concentration statistic, not a typical CO-01 Commerce payment.

Live tables versus this snapshot

Cite USAspending.gov: Department of Commerce (agency 013) obligated $837,969,240.53 on 25 awards coded to Colorado 1st District (CO-01). Name Department of Commerce and Colorado 1st District (CO-01) together. Keep the obligation word. If Colorado 1st District or Department of Commerce has refreshed, prefer the live hub over this snapshot for current rows. The pair is not a NOAA station list, a census-office map, or a named-grantee file. 9.5% of $8,856,542,820.99 is the district share on this packet, not a performance score.

Keep Department of Commerce, Colorado 1st District (CO-01), $837,969,240.53, and 25 awards together. All spending ties indexes other pairs. Department of Commerce is the 013 parent without a CO-01 filter. Colorado federal spending is the Colorado parent. Do not add those parents to this cell. Sharing a district with Commerce does not mean campaign donations funded these awards, and it does not convert obligations into outlays. This page reports one USAspending join.

What this packet refuses to infer

25 awards is a thin Commerce file. A large implied mean is still not a named bureau office or contractor. A large row count makes a program split tempting; the packet still does not supply one. A small row count makes a named-facility story tempting; the packet still does not name facilities or contractors. The implied mean (about $33,518,769.62) and the district share (9.5% of $8,856,542,820.99) are ratios of packet facts. Prefer Colorado 1st District and Department of Commerce if the live tables moved.

Do not rank Colorado 1st District (CO-01) as more Commerce-dependent than neighboring districts on the strength of this cell alone. Neighboring geographies have their own 013 ties with different dollar totals, or no published 013 cell in this harvest. This snapshot holds $837,969,240.53 and 25 only. All spending ties is the index, not an addend. Obligations are not outlays. Correlation is not causation.

Questions

How much Commerce spending is coded to Colorado 1st District (CO-01)?

USAspending.gov lists $837,969,240.53 in Department of Commerce obligations across 25 awards with place of performance in Colorado 1st District (CO-01). Agency 013 × CO-01 is an obligation join, not an outlay and not Colorado’s complete federal ledger. The cell is 9.5% of the district’s published total ($8,856,542,820.99). Unique recipients are unpublished. Average obligation is about $33,518,769.62, a ratio of those two facts only.

Does $837,969,240.53 include every Commerce program in CO-01?

The packet publishes one awarding-agency rollup. The packet does not split Commerce bureaus or contract versus assistance instruments. $837,969,240.53 is the combined obligation sum for agency 013 inside CO-01 coding. This page will not invent a program pie or name contractors. Open Department of Commerce and Colorado 1st District to inspect parent tables. 25 remains an action count, not a program count.

Is $837,969,240.53 cash already paid in Colorado 1st District (CO-01)?

No. Obligations are commitments recorded on USAspending.gov awards. Outlays — money that actually left the Treasury — are a different concept and are not this packet’s headline. Treating $837,969,240.53 as checks already cleared in Colorado 1st District (CO-01) confuses those terms. Later ingests can revise 25 awards. Prefer the live district and agency hubs if the tables moved.

What share of CO-01 obligations is agency 013?

Agency 013 accounts for 9.5% of $8,856,542,820.99 in district-wide obligations on this packet. That share is $837,969,240.53 ÷ $8,856,542,820.99. It is not a ranking of Colorado districts and not an outlay share. Other awarding agencies occupy the remaining district total on other ties.
