Department of Commerce federal obligations in Florida
The Department of Commerce shows $4,397,697,957.56 in USAspending.gov obligations coded to Florida, across 891 awards. Awarding-agency 013 and Florida (FL) are the pair. Eight hundred ninety-one awards against $4,397,697,957.56 is a mid-thin Commerce file: fewer rows than a USDA flood, more than a 13-row restoration cell. The implied mean is about $4.94 million per award — a quotient of two packet facts, not a typical project. USAspending.gov is the source. Amounts are obligations, not outlays.

Commerce awards tagged to Florida
Department of Commerce as awarding agency, Florida as place-of-performance: 891 records summing to $4,397,697,957.56. A Department of Commerce award coded outside FL is out. An award in Florida from a different awarding agency is out even if the topic sounds related. Florida (FL) excludes Georgia and Alabama. A hurricane-recovery story tagged to those states belongs on those ties.
Eight hundred ninety-one awards against $4,397,697,957.56 is a mid-thin Commerce file: fewer rows than a USDA flood, more than a 13-row restoration cell. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not read 891 as 891 unique tourism GDP, hurricane forecasts, or unique Census respondents. The overlay Department of Commerce in Florida is the both-keys table. Florida federal spending is the all-agency state hub. Department of Commerce is the agency book without an FL filter. All spending ties lists other joins.
This packet does not isolate NOAA from EDA or Census. $4,397,697,957.56 is the parent 013 code plus Florida. Correlation is not causation: Florida did not “cause” $4,397,697,957.56 by existing as a large or small place. Population and outcome scores are not packet facts. The join is 013 × FL only.
NOAA, Census, and NIST are unpublished splits
$4,397,697,957.56 does not measure tourism GDP, hurricane forecasts, or unique Census respondents. Those series are not USAspending fields on this aggregate. The cell sums award obligations with awarding-agency code 013 and an FL place-of-performance tag.
Do not treat 891 awards as a census of tourism GDP, hurricane forecasts, or unique Census respondents. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If Florida federal spending or Department of Commerce matched $4,397,697,957.56 and 891, the join would be pointless. Use the overlay when both keys must stay on. Georgia and Alabama Commerce joins are other pairs, not addends.
Florida, not a Miami-versus-Panhandle map
Place of performance FL is a geography tag on the award, not a metro list and not a commuting zone. Florida (FL) excludes Georgia and Alabama. A hurricane-recovery story tagged to those states belongs on those ties. Recipient address can differ from that state tag.
This packet does not isolate NOAA from EDA or Census. $4,397,697,957.56 is the parent 013 code plus Florida. This packet does not split $4,397,697,957.56 by city, county, or named facility. 891 awards stay statewide. A county table would be a different extract.
Bureaus unpublished, still obligations
Even a thick or thin file records obligations, not necessarily outlays. $4,397,697,957.56 can include amounts that pay on a later schedule. Citing it as cash already sent in Florida confuses two concepts. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total.
Florida’s own budget is a different ledger. Mixing it with the 891-award 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 $4,397,697,957.56. Sharing a state with Commerce does not mean campaign donations funded these awards.
Citing Commerce in Florida
Cite USAspending.gov: Department of Commerce (agency 013) obligated $4,397,697,957.56 on 891 awards coded to Florida. Name both sides. Keep “obligations.” Do not relabel the total as tourism GDP, hurricane forecasts, or unique Census respondents.
Prefer Department of Commerce in Florida if the overlay has refreshed after an ingest. Florida federal spending still includes every other awarding agency tagged to FL. Department of Commerce is the 013 parent without the FL filter. All spending ties indexes other pairs. Do not add those parents into $4,397,697,957.56.
A usable footnote names Department of Commerce, Florida, $4,397,697,957.56, and 891. The compact headline $4.40 billion is that same dollar total rounded. It is not a second extract. The implied mean near $4.94 million is $4,397,697,957.56 divided by 891. Means are not medians. USAspending.gov remains the originating system.
