Department of Commerce obligations in Nebraska 1st District (NE-01)
The Commerce × NE-01 cell on USAspending.gov is $545,035,259.58 in obligations across 23 awards. Twenty-three Commerce-coded awards carry about five percent of NE-01's district obligation total. That is a thin file with a very large implied mean, not a typical award size. That pair is Department of Commerce and Nebraska 1st District (NE-01) — not Nebraska's entire federal inflow, not Department of Commerce nationwide, and not cash already paid. The cell is 5.5% of this district's published obligation total ($9,974,044,820.14). Implied average obligation is about $23,697,185.20 ($545,035,259.58 ÷ 23). Correlation is not causation.

A place-of-performance join: Commerce × NE-01
Awarding agency 013 and congressional district NE-01 meet here. $545,035,259.58 is the USAspending.gov obligation sum on awards that carry both tags. It is not Department of Commerce's nationwide total, not every federal dollar coded to Nebraska 1st District (NE-01), and not an outlay register. The packet does not split Commerce bureaus or contract versus assistance instruments. 23 is an action count: modifications and repeat awards add rows. Unique recipients are unpublished. This cell is not a census-operation roster, a trade-mission list, or a named-grantee file.
Dividing $545,035,259.58 by 23 yields about $23,697,185.20 per award on average. That ratio is two packet facts. It is not a typical contract, grant, or benefit line. 23 awards against a five-hundred-forty-five-million-dollar Commerce cell is an extreme concentration of rows. Do not invent bureaus or contractors to explain the dollars. Do not treat NE-01's 013 cell as a synonym for every Commerce account nationwide. Open Nebraska 1st District for the district table without this agency filter, Department of Commerce for agency 013 without a NE-01 filter, Nebraska federal spending for every awarding agency in the Nebraska extract, and All spending ties for the rest of the join list. Quote those hubs as parents, not as addends to $545,035,259.58.
Department of Commerce as awarding agency, not as a named-vendor list
USAspending labels awarding agency 013 as Department of Commerce. That code produced $545,035,259.58 when crossed with Nebraska 1st District (NE-01) place of performance. The agency-wide 013 hub does not require NE-01 geography. The district hub does not require Commerce. Only this tie applies both filters, which is why it cites 23 awards. The packet does not split Commerce bureaus or contract versus assistance instruments.
Correlation is not causation: Nebraska 1st District (NE-01) did not cause $545,035,259.58 by existing as a large or small place. Population, outcome scores, and named facilities are not packet facts. The join is 013 × NE-01 only. This cell is not a census-operation roster, a trade-mission list, or a named-grantee file. Do not invent contractors or award recipients to fill the gap. Campaign donations on FEC tables do not fund this USAspending cell; the datasets are separate.
Place of performance for Nebraska 1st District (NE-01)
Nebraska 1st District (NE-01) on this join is a USAspending geography field, not a claim that every dollar was disbursed to residents of that district. Awards can list NE-01 while later work occurs elsewhere. Awards tagged to other Nebraska districts belong on those ties even when the awarding agency is also 013. Nebraska 1st District (NE-01) is a numbered congressional place-of-performance code inside Nebraska. Other Nebraska districts are separate joins even when they reuse awarding-agency 013. Nebraska 1st District (NE-01) is not other Nebraska districts that host Agriculture rather than Commerce. Agency 012 is not agency 013.
Obligation math for this join
USAspending.gov records an obligation when the federal government commits funds on an award. $545,035,259.58 is that kind of sum for Department of Commerce inside NE-01 coding. Later deobligations, recoveries, or payment schedules can change what leaves the Treasury without this join rewriting itself into a cash register. Assistance and contract awards can share the same awarding-agency rollup; this packet does not split them. Net obligations can include downward adjustments. This page reports $545,035,259.58 as given.
Nebraska's own budget is a separate ledger. Mixing it with the 23-row Commerce cell leaves USAspending.gov. Treat 23 as award records in the aggregate, not unique vendors. Do not annualize without a year field in the packet. Do not per-capita or per-recipient the dollar total; those denominators are unpublished. The implied mean ($23,697,185.20) is a concentration statistic, not a typical NE-01 Commerce payment.
What a complete citation includes
Cite USAspending.gov: Department of Commerce (agency 013) obligated $545,035,259.58 on 23 awards coded to Nebraska 1st District (NE-01). Name Department of Commerce and Nebraska 1st District (NE-01) together. Keep the obligation word. If Nebraska 1st District or Department of Commerce has refreshed, prefer the live hub over this snapshot for current rows. The pair is not a census-operation roster, a trade-mission list, or a named-grantee file. 5.5% of $9,974,044,820.14 is the district share on this packet, not a performance score.
Using 5.5% and $23,697,185.20 without overclaiming
23 awards against a five-hundred-forty-five-million-dollar Commerce cell is an extreme concentration of rows. Do not invent bureaus or contractors to explain the dollars. Other Commerce × district pages can show more rows and different district shares. Same awarding-agency code, different geography. A large row count makes a program split tempting; the packet still does not supply one. A small row count makes a named-facility story tempting; the packet still does not name facilities or contractors. The implied mean (about $23,697,185.20) and the district share (5.5% of $9,974,044,820.14) are ratios of packet facts. Prefer Nebraska 1st District and Department of Commerce if the live tables moved.
Do not rank Nebraska 1st District (NE-01) as more Commerce-dependent than neighboring districts on the strength of this cell alone. Neighboring geographies have their own 013 ties with different dollar totals, or no published 013 cell in this harvest. This snapshot holds $545,035,259.58 and 23 only. All spending ties is the index, not an addend. Obligations are not outlays. Correlation is not causation.
Questions
- How much Commerce spending is coded to Nebraska 1st District (NE-01)?
- USAspending.gov lists $545,035,259.58 in Department of Commerce obligations across 23 awards with place of performance in Nebraska 1st District (NE-01). Agency 013 × NE-01 is an obligation join, not an outlay and not Nebraska's complete federal ledger. The cell is 5.5% of the district's published total ($9,974,044,820.14). Unique recipients are unpublished. Average obligation is about $23,697,185.20, a ratio of those two facts only.
- Does $545,035,259.58 include every Commerce program in NE-01?
- The packet publishes one awarding-agency rollup. The packet does not split Commerce bureaus or contract versus assistance instruments. $545,035,259.58 is the combined obligation sum for agency 013 inside NE-01 coding. This page will not invent a program pie or name contractors. Open Department of Commerce and Nebraska 1st District to inspect parent tables. 23 remains an action count, not a program count.
- Is $545,035,259.58 cash already paid in Nebraska 1st District (NE-01)?
- No. Obligations are commitments recorded on USAspending.gov awards. Outlays — money that actually left the Treasury — are a different concept and are not this packet's headline. Treating $545,035,259.58 as checks already cleared in Nebraska 1st District (NE-01) confuses those terms. Later ingests can revise 23 awards. Prefer the live district and agency hubs if the tables moved.
- Is Nebraska 1st District (NE-01) ranked against other Nebraska districts here?
- No. This page does not rank Nebraska 1st District (NE-01) as a winner or loser. $545,035,259.58 and 23 describe one join. Neighboring districts have their own cells. District 90/98 placeholders are omitted. Cite Department of Commerce and Nebraska 1st District (NE-01) together without a league table.
