Department of Commerce in Colorado 2nd District (CO-02)

Commerce × CO-02 is not a lab directory

Agency 013 and Colorado 2nd District (CO-02) meet in one place-of-performance cell. $1,174,147,258.55 is the obligation sum tagged to that pair. It is not the district's full $12,688,286,519.69 book, not every Commerce dollar in Colorado, and not an outlay. The Colorado 2nd District hub still lists other awarding agencies; the Department of Commerce hub still lists other districts.

Front-Range speech often names NOAA, NIST, or research campuses as if they were the whole cell. This packet does not split $1,174,147,258.55 by bureau, name primes, or count labs. Assigning the total to a single campus invents a site the facts do not name. Correlation with local research news is not causation.

CO-02's district book beside agency 013

9.3% of $12,688,286,519.69 is tagged to Department of Commerce in this extract. Other awarding agencies fill the rest of Colorado 2nd District. Adding those rows into $1,174,147,258.55 would double-count. The Colorado 2nd District page at /districts/CO-02/ is the parent without an agency-013 filter.

Department of Commerce at /agencies/013/ drops the CO-02 filter. Colorado federal spending at /states/co/ drops the district cut. All spending ties at /ties/ indexes other pairs, including Interior in Colorado 7th District. Do not treat $1,174,147,258.55 as statewide Commerce obligations.

578 award records are not unique vendors

578 is the join award-record count, not unique vendors and not a lab roster. Dividing $1,174,147,258.55 by 578 is not a published typical award. Named recipients remain unpublished. Keep the row count on agency 013 × CO-02.

What Commerce in CO-02 omits

Place of performance is a geography tag, not proof that a Commerce bureau headquarters sits in CO-02. Keep agency 013 and Colorado 2nd District on the same citation as $1,174,147,258.55.
