Department of Commerce obligations in Idaho 2nd District (ID-02)

The Idaho 2nd District (ID-02) filter on Commerce

Awarding agency 013 and congressional district ID-02 meet here. $669,665,358.33 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 Idaho 2nd District (ID-02), and not an outlay register. The packet does not split Commerce bureaus or contract versus assistance instruments. 32 is an action count: modifications and repeat awards add rows. Unique recipients are unpublished. It is not a firm census, a NIST-lab inventory, a trade-mission list, or a named-grantee file.

Dividing $669,665,358.33 by 32 yields about $20,927,042.45 per award on average. That ratio is two packet facts. It is not a typical contract, grant, or benefit line. 32 awards is a thin Commerce file. The implied mean is pulled up by size. Named labs and firms are unpublished. Do not treat ID-02’s 013 cell as a synonym for every Commerce account nationwide. Open Idaho 2nd District for the district table without this agency filter, Department of Commerce for agency 013 without the ID-02 filter, Idaho federal spending for every awarding agency in the Idaho extract, and All spending ties for the rest of the join list. Quote those hubs as parents, not as addends to $669,665,358.33.

The Department of Commerce awarding-agency rollup

USAspending labels awarding agency 013 as Department of Commerce. That code produced $669,665,358.33 when crossed with Idaho 2nd District (ID-02) place of performance. The agency-wide 013 hub does not require ID-02 geography. The district hub does not require Commerce. Only this tie applies both filters, which is why it cites 32 awards. The packet does not split Commerce bureaus or contract versus assistance instruments.

Correlation is not causation: Idaho 2nd District (ID-02) did not “cause” $669,665,358.33 by existing as a large or small place. Population, outcome scores, and named facilities are not packet facts. The join is 013 × ID-02 only. It is not a firm census, a NIST-lab inventory, a trade-mission list, 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.

Reading the ID-02 stamp

Idaho 2nd District (ID-02) on this join is a USAspending geography field, not a claim that every dollar was disbursed to residents of that district. Awards can list ID-02 while later work occurs elsewhere. Awards tagged to other Idaho districts belong on those ties even when the awarding agency is also 013. Idaho 2nd District (ID-02) is a numbered congressional place-of-performance code inside Idaho. Other Idaho districts are separate joins even when they reuse awarding-agency 013. Idaho 2nd District (ID-02) is a numbered place-of-performance geography inside Idaho. Other Idaho districts keep their own agency joins.

Idaho federal spending shows how agency 013 sits beside other awarding agencies in the same state extract. $669,665,358.33 is one district-agency column, not the state table. This packet does not split Idaho 2nd District (ID-02) 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 $29,961,789,219.71; $669,665,358.33 is the Commerce slice of that denominator.

USAspending obligations on this pair

USAspending.gov records an obligation when the federal government commits funds on an award. $669,665,358.33 is that kind of sum for Department of Commerce inside ID-02 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 $669,665,358.33 as given.

Idaho’s own budget is a separate ledger. Mixing it with the 32-row Commerce cell leaves USAspending.gov. Treat 32 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 ($20,927,042.45) is a concentration statistic, not a typical ID-02 Commerce payment.

Row count versus dollar concentration

32 awards is a thin Commerce file. The implied mean is pulled up by size. Named labs and firms are unpublished. 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 $20,927,042.45) and the district share (2.2% of $29,961,789,219.71) are ratios of packet facts. Prefer Idaho 2nd District and Department of Commerce if the live tables moved.

Questions

How much Commerce spending is coded to Idaho 2nd District (ID-02)?

USAspending.gov lists $669,665,358.33 in Commerce (agency 013) obligations across 32 awards coded to Idaho 2nd District (ID-02). That pair is an obligation join, not an outlay and not Idaho’s complete federal ledger. The cell is 2.2% of the district’s published total ($29,961,789,219.71). Unique recipients are unpublished.

Does $669,665,358.33 include every Commerce program in ID-02?

The packet publishes one awarding-agency rollup. The packet does not split Commerce bureaus or contract versus assistance instruments. $669,665,358.33 is the combined obligation sum for agency 013 inside ID-02 coding. This page will not invent a program pie or name contractors. 32 remains an action count, not a program count.

Is $669,665,358.33 cash already paid in Idaho 2nd District (ID-02)?

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 $669,665,358.33 as checks already cleared in Idaho 2nd District (ID-02) confuses those terms. Later ingests can revise 32 awards. Prefer the live district and agency hubs if the tables moved.

Why is the implied average $20,927,042.45 not a typical award?

The average is $669,665,358.33 divided by 32 awards, about $20,927,042.45. Thick files pull the mean down; thin files pull it up. Neither case publishes a typical instrument. Modifications add rows. Recipients are unpublished. Use the ratio only as a concentration statistic.
