Department of Commerce federal obligations in New York
The Department of Commerce shows $1,260,421,953.90 in USAspending.gov obligations coded to New York, across 514 awards. Awarding-agency 013 and New York (NY) are the pair. Five hundred fourteen records against $1,260,421,953.90 is a mid-count Commerce file, thicker than a 170-row Arizona cell and still not a firm census. The implied mean is about $2.45 million per award — a quotient of two packet facts, not a typical project. USAspending.gov is the source. Amounts are obligations, not outlays.

Commerce awards tagged to New York
Department of Commerce as awarding agency, New York as place-of-performance: 514 records summing to $1,260,421,953.90. A Department of Commerce award coded outside NY is out. An award in New York from a different awarding agency is out even if the topic sounds related. New York (NY) excludes New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Massachusetts, and Vermont. A New Jersey-coded award is NJ even if the firm sits in Manhattan.
Five hundred fourteen records against $1,260,421,953.90 is a mid-count Commerce file, thicker than a 170-row Arizona cell and still not a firm census. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not read 514 as 514 unique unique firms, export dollars, or named bureaus. The overlay Department of Commerce in New York is the both-keys table. New York federal spending is the all-agency state hub. Department of Commerce is the agency book without an NY filter. All spending ties lists other joins.
Named NOAA or Census units are unpublished. Do not treat 514 as unique New York firms. Correlation is not causation: New York did not cause $1,260,421,953.90 by existing as a large or small place. Population and outcome scores are not packet facts. The join is 013 × NY only.
Not a port or export ledger
$1,260,421,953.90 does not measure unique firms, export dollars, or named bureaus. Those series are not USAspending fields on this aggregate. The cell sums award obligations with awarding-agency code 013 and an NY place-of-performance tag.
Do not treat 514 awards as a census of unique firms, export dollars, or named bureaus. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If New York federal spending or Department of Commerce matched $1,260,421,953.90 and 514, the join would be pointless. Use the overlay when both keys must stay on. New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Connecticut Commerce joins are other pairs, not addends.
New York statewide, not a five-borough map
Place of performance NY is a geography tag on the award, not a metro list and not a commuting zone. New York (NY) excludes New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Massachusetts, and Vermont. A New Jersey-coded award is NJ even if the firm sits in Manhattan. Recipient address can differ from that state tag.
Named NOAA or Census units are unpublished. Do not treat 514 as unique New York firms. This packet does not split $1,260,421,953.90 by city, county, or named facility. 514 awards stay statewide. A county table would be a different extract.
Mid-count files still record obligations
Even a thick or thin file records obligations, not necessarily outlays. $1,260,421,953.90 can include amounts that pay on a later schedule. Citing it as cash already sent in New York confuses two concepts. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total.
New York’s own budget is a different ledger. Mixing it with the 514-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 $1,260,421,953.90.
Citing Commerce in New York

Prefer Department of Commerce in New York if the overlay has refreshed after an ingest. New York federal spending still includes every other awarding agency tagged to NY. Department of Commerce is the 013 parent without the NY filter. All spending ties indexes other pairs. Do not add those parents into $1,260,421,953.90.
A usable footnote names Department of Commerce, New York, $1,260,421,953.90, and 514. The compact headline $1.26 billion is that same dollar total rounded. It is not a second extract. The implied mean near $2.45 million is $1,260,421,953.90 divided by 514. Means are not medians. USAspending.gov remains the originating system.
