Department of Commerce federal obligations in Hawaii

Department of Commerce dollars tagged to Hawaii

$783,271,182.55 attaches to awards that list both Department of Commerce (agency 013) and Hawaii geography. Drop either filter and the total changes. Weather, fisheries, census, and port-economy folklore is a coding conversation, not a packet field. The join does not rank Hawaii against other states.

501 is a record count on the Commerce–Hawaii overlay, not a headcount of labs or statistical contractors. 501 award actions sit behind that dollar figure — more than a thousand rows can mix large instruments with smaller service awards. This narrative does not invent contractor names.

Open Department of Commerce in Hawaii for the filtered table, Hawaii federal spending for the next hub, Department of Commerce for the remaining hub, and All spending ties for other pairs.

Why a long award list still hides mixed instruments

The mean obligation of about $1,563,415.53 is arithmetic only. A long award list can hide one large action among smaller modifications. Readers who need instrument type should use the overlay table, not this narrative. No contractor is named here because none appears in the packet facts.

If a later ingest restates $783,271,182.55, the join definition stays the same: agency 013 plus Hawaii place of performance. Rewrite only the sentence whose source moved.

Two hubs, one intersection

Drop the Hawaii geography tag and agency 013 still has a national total on Department of Commerce. Drop the agency tag and Hawaii still has a multi-agency total on Hawaii federal spending. Neither hub equals $783,271,182.55 on its own.

Honolulu, Hilo, and Kahului are reader landmarks, not packet subtotals. The geography key is statewide Hawaii. Headquarters folklore about Honolulu does not move $783,271,182.55.

What USAspending publishes here

$783,271,182.55 records commitments tagged to Department of Commerce and Hawaii. Payments, recoveries, and cancellations would live in other fields. This extract does not publish those fields.

Keep the obligation word in every reuse of $783,271,182.55. Hawaii federal spending and Department of Commerce use the same unit on their own filters. Mixing units across hubs produces a false statewide cash story.

Hawaii Commerce totals are not campaign money

Weather, fisheries, census, and port-economy folklore plus Pacific-port and island-lab folklore can look like a story. The published facts are only $783,271,182.55, 501 awards, agency 013, and Hawaii. Anything else is outside the extract.

Do not claim that donations paid for $783,271,182.55 in Hawaii. The source is USAspending.gov award aggregates. FEC tables are out of scope for this join.

Reuse rules for this extract

If you need a one-line caption, use: Commerce agency 013 × Hawaii = $783,271,182.55 across 501 awards (obligations, USAspending.gov). That caption already names both join sides and the unit.

All spending ties is an index of joins, not a hidden total that already includes $783,271,182.55. Department of Commerce in Hawaii remains the place to verify the live rows. Place-of-performance Hawaii is statewide; it does not split Honolulu from Hilo or Kahului. Neighbor-coded survey or lab work in California or other mainland states stays out. Correlation is not causation. Statewide Hawaii includes Honolulu, Hilo, and Kahului only as reader landmarks. None of those names is a published subtotal. A county or city extract would be a different USAspending query. Department of Commerce in Hawaii remains the filtered table for this pair. Hawaii federal spending answers a statewide question that mixes agencies. Department of Commerce answers an agency question that mixes states. All spending ties is the catalog of other two-sided pages, not a sum of this cell plus its siblings. Nothing in this packet names a contractor, grantee, laboratory, or borrower. Inventing labs or statistical contractors to explain $783,271,182.55 would break the facts-only rule. If a recipient appears on the overlay, that row is evidence from USAspending.gov, not from this narrative. The source note is unchanged: USAspending.gov aggregate of federal obligations by state and awarding agency. Obligations are not outlays. Repeating $783,271,182.55 as cash already spent in Hawaii is a unit error, not a rounding error.

Questions

How many Department of Commerce awards are tagged to Hawaii?

USAspending.gov records $783,271,182.55 in obligations for awarding agency 013 (Department of Commerce) with Hawaii place of performance, covering 501 awards. That is an obligation total, not an outlay total, and not Department of Commerce's nationwide budget.

Are unique labs or statistical contractors listed in this Hawaii extract?

The extract lists 501 award actions totaling $783,271,182.55. Average obligation per award is about $1,563,415.53, a ratio of two packet facts, not a typical NOAA, census, or economic-development award. Unique labs or statistical contractors are not published here.

Are awards performed in California or other mainland states included?

No. $783,271,182.55 and 501 awards are statewide Hawaii place of performance. This packet does not split Honolulu from Hilo or Kahului. Awards coded to California or other mainland states are outside this cell even if mail is handled in Honolulu.

How do I open the Hawaii overlay for agency 013?

Department of Commerce in Hawaii is the overlay. Hawaii federal spending shows all agencies in the state. Department of Commerce shows agency 013 without a state filter. All spending ties lists other pairs. Original filings remain on the source sites.
