Department of Commerce federal obligations in Missouri

The Department of Commerce shows $1,877,996,967.88 in USAspending.gov obligations coded to Missouri, across 158 awards. Awarding-agency 013 and Missouri (MO) are the pair. One hundred fifty-eight awards against $1,877,996,967.88 is a thin, high-mean Commerce file. A few vehicles can mint most of the dollars. The implied mean is about $11.89 million per award — a quotient of two packet facts, not a typical project. USAspending.gov is the source. Amounts are obligations, not outlays.

Key figures

  • Commerce in Missouri: $1,877,996,967.88 across 158 USAspending awards.
  • Implied mean about $11.89 million per record — a packet quotient, not a typical project.
  • Agency 013 × MO is not a measure of exporters, Census jobs, or NOAA stations.
  • Cite obligations from USAspending.gov, not outlays.
  • Missouri federal spending and Department of Commerce are parents, not amounts to add into $1,877,996,967.88.

A thin Commerce file on Missouri

Department of Commerce as awarding agency, Missouri as place-of-performance: 158 records summing to $1,877,996,967.88. A Department of Commerce award coded outside MO is out. An award in Missouri from a different awarding agency is out even if the topic sounds related. Missouri (MO) excludes Kansas, Illinois, Iowa, Arkansas, Kentucky, Tennessee, Nebraska, and Oklahoma. A Kansas City, Kansas-coded award is KS.

One hundred fifty-eight awards against $1,877,996,967.88 is a thin, high-mean Commerce file. A few vehicles can mint most of the dollars. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not read 158 as 158 unique exporters, Census jobs, or NOAA stations. The overlay Department of Commerce in Missouri is the both-keys table. Missouri federal spending is the all-agency state hub. Department of Commerce is the agency book without an MO filter. All spending ties lists other joins.

St. Louis and Kansas City are unpublished. Do not treat 158 as two metro project lists glued together. Correlation is not causation: Missouri did not cause $1,877,996,967.88 by existing as a large or small place. Population and outcome scores are not packet facts. The join is 013 × MO only.

Not a two-city exporter ranking

$1,877,996,967.88 does not measure exporters, Census jobs, or NOAA stations. Those series are not USAspending fields on this aggregate. The cell sums award obligations with awarding-agency code 013 and an MO place-of-performance tag.

Do not treat 158 awards as a census of exporters, Census jobs, or NOAA stations. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If Missouri federal spending or Department of Commerce matched $1,877,996,967.88 and 158, the join would be pointless. Use the overlay when both keys must stay on. Kansas, Illinois, and Arkansas Commerce joins are other pairs, not addends.

Missouri, not a Kansas City bi-state rollup

Place of performance MO is a geography tag on the award, not a metro list and not a commuting zone. Missouri (MO) excludes Kansas, Illinois, Iowa, Arkansas, Kentucky, Tennessee, Nebraska, and Oklahoma. A Kansas City, Kansas-coded award is KS. Recipient address can differ from that state tag.

St. Louis and Kansas City are unpublished. Do not treat 158 as two metro project lists glued together. This packet does not split $1,877,996,967.88 by city, county, or named facility. 158 awards stay statewide. A county table would be a different extract.

Large implied mean, still obligations

Even a thick or thin file records obligations, not necessarily outlays. $1,877,996,967.88 can include amounts that pay on a later schedule. Citing it as cash already sent in Missouri confuses two concepts. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total.

Missouri’s own budget is a different ledger. Mixing it with the 158-award 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 $1,877,996,967.88.

Citing Commerce in Missouri

Cite USAspending.gov: Department of Commerce (agency 013) obligated $1,877,996,967.88 on 158 awards coded to Missouri. Name both sides. Keep “obligations.” Do not relabel the total as exporters, Census jobs, or NOAA stations.

Prefer Department of Commerce in Missouri if the overlay has refreshed after an ingest. Missouri federal spending still includes every other awarding agency tagged to MO. Department of Commerce is the 013 parent without the MO filter. All spending ties indexes other pairs. Do not add those parents into $1,877,996,967.88.

A usable footnote names Department of Commerce, Missouri, $1,877,996,967.88, and 158. The compact headline $1.88 billion is that same dollar total rounded. It is not a second extract. The implied mean near $11.89 million is $1,877,996,967.88 divided by 158. Means are not medians. USAspending.gov remains the originating system.
