Department of Commerce obligations in Maine 2nd District (ME-02)

Commerce × ME-02 is 106 awards, not 106 ports

This page is a join: Department of Commerce and Maine 2nd District (ME-02). SpendingVault sums tagged obligations: $499,734,668.37 on 106 awards for awarding agency 013 with Maine 2nd District (ME-02) as place of performance. Agency 013 crossed with Maine 2nd District (ME-02) is a Commerce listing filter, not a fisheries census and not Maine's entire Commerce book. Treat the pair as a table intersection, not a ranking of districts as winners or losers, and not a claim that 106 awards equal that many ports, NOAA offices, or named contractors.

NJ-12 and DE-00 Commerce on this harvest are other district pairs. NSF or Interior awards sit outside this cell unless they also carry agency 013 and ME-02 geography. Correlation between this obligation sum and local activity statistics is not causation. Those statistics are not in the packet. Place of performance as ME-02 locates the tagged awards; it does not deposit $499,734,668.37 in a district treasury. Campaign contributions recorded on FEC.gov do not fund this USAspending cell.

One hundred six Commerce rows on $500 million

One hundred six records is a short Commerce file. A handful of large assistance vehicles can dominate the mean. Mean obligation is about $4.71 million if $499,734,668.37 were divided evenly across 106 lines. That ratio is a quotient of two packet facts, not a published typical award. Award count is a row count of USAspending awards, including possible modifications. It is not a census of ports, NOAA offices, or named contractors. Unique recipients are unpublished.

Agency code 013 is the Department of Commerce. The awarding-agency tag does not name bureaus, ports, or vendors. This packet lists none of them. Port and recipient names are unpublished. One hundred six awards are not one hundred six Down East facilities. Open Maine 2nd District (/districts/ME-02/) for the stored district table and Department of Commerce (/agencies/013/) for the national agency shelf. The $499,734,668.37 total remains an obligation rollup on tagged awards.

Maine 2nd District as Commerce place of performance

Maine 2nd District (ME-02) is a congressional place-of-performance code. Other Maine districts are other joins. A New Hampshire-coded Commerce award is another cell. The district's all-agency obligation total is $10,729,514,101.43. $499,734,668.37 is the Department of Commerce slice of that book, about 4.7%. Remaining district dollars sit with other awarding agencies on Maine 2nd District, not inside this join. Maine federal spending (/states/me/) is the statewide parent.

An obligation is a recorded commitment. An outlay is a payment. The $499,734,668.37 headline is the obligation sum, not surveys already completed or grants already drawn. No fiscal year is attached in this packet, so this page does not invent one. Citing the figure as cash already sent in Maine 2nd District (ME-02) confuses two USAspending concepts. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total.

Maine Commerce dollars are commitments, not catch already landed

The extract has no roster of ports, NOAA offices, or named contractors. Facts remain $499,734,668.37, 106 awards, agency 013 (Department of Commerce), Maine 2nd District (ME-02), and a district-wide book of $10,729,514,101.43. This page will not invent a contractor league table. Sibling district-agency joins are separate obligation totals, not a better or worse score. Confusing this join with a statewide Commerce total or a fisheries ranking would be a different overlay.

Keep the obligation word on $499,734,668.37. Keep both Department of Commerce and Maine 2nd District (ME-02) in the citation. All spending ties (/ties/) indexes other pairs. Mixing those shelves would invent a share of Maine spending or of Department of Commerce's national book the packet never computed. The $499,734,668.37 figure is the tagged pair only.

Citing agency 013 in Maine 2nd District (ME-02)

A clean footnote names Department of Commerce (agency 013), Maine 2nd District (ME-02), $499,734,668.37 in obligations, and 106 awards on USAspending.gov. Start at /districts/ME-02/ for the district overlay, /agencies/013/ for the agency rollup, /states/me/ for Maine statewide spending, and /ties/ for other pairs. If a later ingest moves the live overlay, prefer the overlay when the table and this snapshot diverge. A ties page exists because two tables meet.
