Department of Commerce federal obligations in Iowa

$492,814,450.80 is the USAspending.gov obligation total for Department of Commerce awards tagged to Iowa, covering 53 awards. Agency 013 × IA is the join. 53 awards against $492,814,450.80 is a 53-award Commerce file, the thinnest Commerce join in this slice. Dividing those two facts yields about $9,298,385.86 as a mean, not a median and not a typical invoice. No fiscal year is published in this packet. Obligations are not outlays.

Key figures

  • Department of Commerce obligated $492,814,450.80 in Iowa across 53 awards (USAspending.gov).
  • The pair is awarding-agency 013 × place-of-performance IA.
  • Amounts are obligations, not outlays; no fiscal year is in this packet.
  • The implied mean near $9,298,385.86 is $492,814,450.80 divided by 53, not a typical award.
  • The join does not name contractors and does not measure named labs, NOAA lists, or census-office headcount.

Fifty-three Commerce rows on Iowa

Department of Commerce as awarding agency, Iowa as place-of-performance: 53 awards summing to $492,814,450.80. A Department of Commerce award coded outside IA is out. An award in Iowa from a different awarding agency is out even if the topic sounds related. Iowa (IA) excludes Illinois, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, South Dakota, and Wisconsin. A Cedar Rapids-coded award with an Illinois place-of-performance tag is a different cell.

53 awards against $492,814,450.80 is a 53-award Commerce file, the thinnest Commerce join in this slice. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not read 53 as 53 unique named labs, NOAA lists, or census-office headcount. Department of Commerce in Iowa is the both-keys table. Iowa federal spending is the all-agency state hub. Department of Commerce is the agency book without a IA filter. All spending ties lists other joins.

Labor and Commerce Iowa pages in this slice use different awarding-agency codes. Do not add the two cells. Unique manufacturers are unpublished. A 53-row file is still an obligation sum. Correlation is not causation: Iowa did not cause $492,814,450.80 by existing as a large or small place. Population and outcome scores are not packet facts. The join is 013 × IA only.

Commerce 013 is not DOL 1601

$492,814,450.80 does not measure named labs, NOAA lists, or census-office headcount. Those series are not USAspending fields on this aggregate. The cell sums award obligations with awarding-agency code 013 and an IA place-of-performance tag.

Do not treat 53 awards as a census of named labs, NOAA lists, or census-office headcount. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If Iowa federal spending or Department of Commerce matched $492,814,450.80 and 53, the join would be pointless. Use the overlay when both keys must stay on. Neighboring-state Commerce joins are other pairs, not addends.

Iowa, not an I-80-only map

Place of performance IA is a geography tag on the award, not a metro list and not a commuting zone. Iowa (IA) excludes Illinois, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, South Dakota, and Wisconsin. A Cedar Rapids-coded award with an Illinois place-of-performance tag is a different cell. Recipient address can differ from that state tag.

This packet does not split $492,814,450.80 by city, county, or named facility. 53 awards stay statewide. A county table would be a different extract. Campaign-finance filings do not fund these USAspending obligations.

Fifty-three obligations

Even a thick or thin file records obligations, not necessarily outlays. $492,814,450.80 can include amounts that pay on a later schedule. Citing it as cash already sent in Iowa confuses two concepts. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total.

Iowa’s own budget is a different ledger. Mixing it with the 53 awards 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 $492,814,450.80.

Citing Commerce in Iowa

Cite USAspending.gov: Department of Commerce (agency 013) obligated $492,814,450.80 on 53 awards coded to Iowa. Name both sides. Keep “obligations.” Do not relabel the total as named labs, NOAA lists, or census-office headcount.

Prefer Department of Commerce in Iowa if the overlay has refreshed after an ingest. Iowa federal spending still includes every other awarding agency tagged to IA. Department of Commerce is the 013 parent without the IA filter. All spending ties indexes other pairs. Do not add those parents into $492,814,450.80.

A usable footnote names Department of Commerce, Iowa, $492,814,450.80, and 53. The compact headline $492.8M is that same dollar total rounded. It is not a second extract. The implied mean near $9,298,385.86 is $492,814,450.80 divided by 53. Means are not medians. USAspending.gov remains the originating system.
