Department of Commerce obligations in Louisiana 6th District (LA-06)

Commerce × LA-06 is a 61-row join, not a Baton Rouge bureau census

This page is a join: Department of Commerce (agency 013) as awarding agency, and Louisiana 6th District (LA-06) as congressional district place of performance. SpendingVault sums tagged obligations to $1,454,108,982.39 on 61 awards. The join is awarding-agency 013 crossed with an LA-06 location field, not Louisiana’s entire commerce budget and not a named NOAA, EDA, or Census roster. Treat the pair as a catalog intersection, not a ranking of which district received more, and not a claim that 61 awards equal 61 laboratories, ports, or unique contractors.

Energy lines in LA-01, DOT, or Commerce-coded awards in LA-02 sit outside this total unless they also carry agency 013 and LA-06. Mixing those books into $1,454,108,982.39 would invent a combined figure the packet never computed. Correlation between this obligation sum and port tonnage is not causation. Tonnage and campus tables are not in the packet. Place of performance as LA-06 locates the tagged awards; it does not deposit $1,454,108,982.39 in a district treasury. Baton Rouge-versus-river-parish folklore is not a geography split in this packet.

61 awards behind $1.45 billion

Mean obligation is about $23,837,852.17 if $1,454,108,982.39 were divided evenly across 61 lines. That ratio is not a published typical EDA grant and not a NOAA ship cost. Award count is a row count, including possible continuations and modifications. It is not a count of labs, ports, or unique vendors. Sixty-one awards against a $1.45 billion cell is a thin, high-mean Commerce file. One restatement can move the mean quickly.

A handful of large assistance or contract vehicles can dominate a 61-row file. This page will not invent contractor or recipient names. Open Louisiana 6th District for the stored district table. Do not convert 61 into a map of Louisiana 6th District Commerce sites. The $1,454,108,982.39 total remains an obligation rollup on tagged awards. Inspect named lines on the overlay rather than inferring a bureau-campus census.

Louisiana 6th District, not a capital-region port rollup

Louisiana 6th District (LA-06) is one geography tag on USAspending awards, not a commuting zone and not a metro list. Awards tagged to LA-01, LA-02, or another Louisiana district are out even if the river corridor sounds related. Recipient address can differ from that district tag. The district parent in this extract is $25,032,831,519.57 across every awarding agency; $1,454,108,982.39 is the Department of Commerce slice — about 5.8% of that parent by arithmetic. Subtracting is tempting; this page still does not publish the leftover agency list.

A statewide Commerce figure on Louisiana federal spending mixes every district. Do not rank LA-06 against neighboring districts as a winner or loser. Other Louisiana district cells are other joins. Louisiana federal spending is the statewide book without a district filter. Adding statewide Department of Commerce dollars to $1,454,108,982.39 would double count. Campaign-finance filings are a different public-record system; this join does not claim donations funded these obligations.

Agency 013 obligations are not fishery surveys already billed

Commerce awards often obligate as bureau contracts and assistance rows and draw as work proceeds. The $1,454,108,982.39 headline is the obligation sum, not a punch-list of surveys completed and not a Treasury outlay total. A NOAA or EDA dashboard dated to a particular year is not automatically this join unless it uses agency 013, LA-06 geography, and the obligation metric.

Department of Commerce is the nationwide agency book without a LA-06 filter. This extract does not split NOAA from EDA, and it does not split Census from ITA. Those cuts would require award documentation beyond dollars, 61 awards, agency 013, and Louisiana 6th District. This page will not invent a share. Unique recipients remain unpublished.

What the LA-06 Commerce table omits

The extract has no campus names, vessel names, or contractor names. Facts remain $1,454,108,982.39, 61 awards, agency 013, Department of Commerce, Louisiana 6th District (LA-06), and district parent $25,032,831,519.57. Campus folklore belongs on another extract if it appears at all. Keep the obligation label. Later ingests can revise both the dollars and the 61-award count; prefer the live table when the overlay and this snapshot diverge.

Where the Commerce × LA-06 pair lives

Start with Louisiana 6th District for the district rollup that contains this Department of Commerce cell. Department of Commerce is the nationwide agency listing. Louisiana federal spending gives Louisiana context without a LA-06 filter. All spending ties indexes other two-key joins on the same obligation metric. Sixty-one awards totaling this cell remain a thin administrative file, not a port roster. Keep both Department of Commerce and Louisiana 6th District (LA-06) in every citation sentence. Do not recast $1,454,108,982.39 as cash already paid or as Louisiana’s entire commerce appropriation. USAspending.gov remains the source; SpendingVault republishes the join.

Questions

How much Commerce spending is obligated in Louisiana 6th District?

USAspending.gov shows $1,454,108,982.39 in Department of Commerce (agency 013) obligations with Louisiana 6th District (LA-06) as place of performance, across 61 awards. The sum is a commitment total, not outlays and not the district’s full $25,032,831,519.57 parent. Other agencies sit outside this join unless they also carry 013.

Do 61 awards mean 61 Commerce contractors in LA-06?

No. Award count is a row count of Department of Commerce actions tagged to LA-06. It is not a campus or vendor census. Mean obligation of about $23,837,852.17 is a quotient of $1,454,108,982.39 and 61, not a typical grant.

Does this Commerce cell include the LA-01 Energy join?

No. Energy is awarding agency 089, a different district pair. $1,454,108,982.39 is about 5.8% of the Louisiana 6th District parent $25,032,831,519.57 by arithmetic and does not include Energy rows. Cite USAspending.gov as the source.

Is the LA-06 Commerce total already paid as outlays?

Not on this metric. Obligations are recorded commitments on awards. Outlays are payments from the Treasury. The $1,454,108,982.39 headline is the obligation rollup in SpendingVault’s extract. Invoice draws and remaining balances are not published here.
