Department of Commerce in Mississippi 3rd District (MS-03)

Commerce × MS-03 is a short-row, large-dollar cell

Agency 013 and Mississippi 3rd District (MS-03) meet in one place-of-performance cell. $1,298,446,666.88 is the USAspending.gov obligation sum tagged to that pair. It is not the district's full $13,628,610,871.42 book, not every Commerce dollar in Mississippi, and not an outlay. The Mississippi 3rd District hub still lists other awarding agencies; the Department of Commerce hub still lists other districts.

31 rows can still carry $1,298,446,666.88 when the file stores large assistance or contract vehicles. That pattern is not a census of manufacturers, labs, or NOAA stations. A reader who names a prime or a grant recipient adds a label the facts do not carry. Correlation with local economic-development news is not causation.

MS-03's district book beside agency 013

9.5% of $13,628,610,871.42 is tagged to Department of Commerce in this extract. Other awarding agencies fill the rest of Mississippi 3rd District. Adding those rows into $1,298,446,666.88 would double-count. The Mississippi 3rd District page at /districts/MS-03/ is the parent without an agency-013 filter.

Department of Commerce at /agencies/013/ drops the MS-03 filter. Mississippi federal spending at /states/ms/ drops the district cut. All spending ties at /ties/ indexes other pairs. Do not treat $1,298,446,666.88 as statewide Commerce obligations or as cash already paid.

31 records are not 31 Commerce vendors

31 is the join award-record count, not unique vendors and not a lab roster. Dividing $1,298,446,666.88 by 31 would invent a typical award size the packet never published. Unique recipients remain unpublished. Keep the row count on the join rather than stretching it into a company list.
