Department of Commerce federal obligations in Idaho

Department of Commerce dollars tagged to Idaho

$696,387,377.67 attaches to awards that list both Department of Commerce (agency 013) and Idaho 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 Idaho against other states.

65 is a record count on the Commerce–Idaho overlay, not a headcount of labs or statistical contractors. 65 award actions sit behind that dollar figure — a short award list beside $696,387,377.67. This narrative does not invent contractor names.

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

Why a short award list still hides mixed instruments

The mean obligation of about $10,713,651.96 is arithmetic only. A short 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 $696,387,377.67, the join definition stays the same: agency 013 plus Idaho place of performance. Rewrite only the sentence whose source moved.

Two hubs, one intersection

Drop the Idaho geography tag and agency 013 still has a national total on Department of Commerce. Drop the agency tag and Idaho still has a multi-agency total on Idaho federal spending. Neither hub equals $696,387,377.67 on its own.

Boise, Idaho Falls, and Coeur d'Alene are reader landmarks, not packet subtotals. The geography key is statewide Idaho. Headquarters folklore about Boise does not move $696,387,377.67.

What USAspending publishes here

$696,387,377.67 records commitments tagged to Department of Commerce and Idaho. Payments, recoveries, and cancellations would live in other fields. This extract does not publish those fields.

Keep the obligation word in every reuse of $696,387,377.67. Idaho federal spending and Department of Commerce use the same unit on their own filters. Mixing units across hubs produces a false statewide cash story.

Idaho Commerce totals are not campaign money

Weather, fisheries, census, and port-economy folklore plus capital-city and lab-town folklore can look like a story. The published facts are only $696,387,377.67, 65 awards, agency 013, and Idaho. Anything else is outside the extract.

Do not claim that donations paid for $696,387,377.67 in Idaho. 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 × Idaho = $696,387,377.67 across 65 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 $696,387,377.67. Department of Commerce in Idaho remains the place to verify the live rows. Place-of-performance Idaho is statewide; it does not split Boise from Idaho Falls or Coeur d'Alene. Neighbor-coded survey or lab work in Washington or Oregon stays out. Correlation is not causation. Statewide Idaho includes Boise, Idaho Falls, and Coeur d'Alene 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 Idaho remains the filtered table for this pair. Idaho 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 $696,387,377.67 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 $696,387,377.67 as cash already spent in Idaho is a unit error, not a rounding error.

Questions

How many Department of Commerce awards are tagged to Idaho?

USAspending.gov records $696,387,377.67 in obligations for awarding agency 013 (Department of Commerce) with Idaho place of performance, covering 65 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 Idaho extract?

The extract lists 65 award actions totaling $696,387,377.67. Average obligation per award is about $10,713,651.96, 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 Washington or Oregon included?

No. $696,387,377.67 and 65 awards are statewide Idaho place of performance. This packet does not split Boise from Idaho Falls or Coeur d'Alene. Awards coded to Washington or Oregon are outside this cell even if mail is handled in Boise.

How do I open the Idaho overlay for agency 013?

Department of Commerce in Idaho is the overlay. Idaho 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.
