Department of Commerce federal obligations in Maine

Agency 013 overlapping Maine

Department of Commerce as awarding agency, Maine as place-of-performance: 274 records summing to $659,498,778.19. A Department of Commerce award coded outside ME is out. An award in Maine from a different awarding agency is out even if the topic sounds related. Maine (ME) excludes New Hampshire, Vermont, and Massachusetts. A Portland-coded award with a New Hampshire place-of-performance tag is a different cell.

274 awards against $659,498,778.19 is a 274-award Commerce file, fewer rows than a thick RRB book, still a nine-figure sum. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not read 274 as 274 unique NOAA vessel days, census operations, or named manufacturers. Department of Commerce in Maine is the both-keys table. Maine federal spending is the all-agency state hub. Department of Commerce is the agency book without an ME filter. All spending ties lists other joins.

Fisheries and census folklore is unpublished. Unique recipients stay unpublished. Do not invent a named shipyard or mill as an extra dollar on this join. Correlation is not causation: Maine did not cause $659,498,778.19 by existing as a large or small place. Population and outcome scores are not packet facts. The join is 013 × ME only.

Commerce is a label, not a mill roster

$659,498,778.19 does not measure NOAA vessel days, census operations, or named manufacturers. Those series are not USAspending fields on this aggregate. The cell sums award obligations with awarding-agency code 013 and an ME place-of-performance tag.

Do not treat 274 awards as a census of NOAA vessel days, census operations, or named manufacturers. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If Maine federal spending or Department of Commerce matched $659,498,778.19 and 274, the join would be pointless. Use the overlay when both keys must stay on. Neighboring-state Commerce joins are other pairs, not addends.

Maine, not a Portland-only map

Place of performance ME is a geography tag on the award, not a metro list and not a commuting zone. Maine (ME) excludes New Hampshire, Vermont, and Massachusetts. A Portland-coded award with a New Hampshire place-of-performance tag is a different cell. Recipient address can differ from that state tag.

This packet does not split $659,498,778.19 by city, county, or named facility. 274 awards stay statewide. A county table would be a different extract. Campaign-finance filings do not fund these USAspending obligations.

Two hundred seventy-four obligations

Even a thick or thin file records obligations, not necessarily outlays. $659,498,778.19 can include amounts that pay on a later schedule. Citing it as cash already sent in Maine confuses two concepts. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total.

Maine’s own budget is a different ledger. Mixing it with the 274 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 $659,498,778.19. Sharing a geography with Department of Commerce does not mean FEC donations funded these awards.

Citing Commerce in Maine

Cite USAspending.gov: Department of Commerce (agency 013) obligated $659,498,778.19 on 274 awards coded to Maine. Name both sides. Keep “obligations.” Do not relabel the total as NOAA vessel days, census operations, or named manufacturers.

Prefer Department of Commerce in Maine if the overlay has refreshed after an ingest. Maine federal spending still includes every other awarding agency tagged to ME. Department of Commerce is the 013 parent without the ME filter. All spending ties indexes other pairs. Do not add those parents into $659,498,778.19.

A usable footnote names Department of Commerce, Maine, $659,498,778.19, and 274. The compact headline $659.5M is that same dollar total rounded. It is not a second extract. The implied mean near $2,406,929.85 is $659,498,778.19 divided by 274. Means are not medians. USAspending.gov remains the originating system.
