Department of Commerce obligations in New Jersey 12th District (NJ-12)

Commerce × NJ-12 is 68 awards, not 68 labs

This page is a join: Department of Commerce and New Jersey 12th District (NJ-12). SpendingVault sums tagged obligations: $535,052,525.31 on 68 awards for awarding agency 013 with New Jersey 12th District (NJ-12) as place of performance. Agency 013 crossed with New Jersey 12th District (NJ-12) is a Commerce listing filter, not a NIST campus census and not New Jersey'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 68 awards equal that many labs, NOAA offices, or named contractors.

NSF or Energy awards that mention science sit outside this cell unless they also carry agency 013 and NJ-12 geography. ME-02 and DE-00 Commerce on this harvest are other pairs. Correlation between this obligation sum and local activity statistics is not causation. Those statistics are not in the packet. Place of performance as NJ-12 locates the tagged awards; it does not deposit $535,052,525.31 in a district treasury. Campaign contributions recorded on FEC.gov do not fund this USAspending cell.

Sixty-eight Commerce rows on a $535 million book

Sixty-eight records against this dollar book is a short Commerce file. A few large assistance vehicles can dominate the mean. Mean obligation is about $7.87 million if $535,052,525.31 were divided evenly across 68 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 labs, 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 Unique recipients are unpublished.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, labs, or vendors. This packet lists none of them. Lab and recipient names are unpublished. Sixty-eight awards are not sixty-eight central-Jersey facilities. Open New Jersey 12th District (/districts/NJ-12/) for the stored district table and Department of Commerce (/agencies/013/) for the national agency shelf. The $535,052,525.31 total remains an obligation rollup on tagged awards.

New Jersey 12th District as Commerce place of performance

New Jersey 12th District (NJ-12) is a congressional place-of-performance code. Other New Jersey districts are other joins. A Pennsylvania- or New York-coded Commerce award is another cell. The district's all-agency obligation total is $10,174,542,497.64. $535,052,525.31 is the Department of Commerce slice of that book, about 5.3%. Remaining district dollars sit with other awarding agencies on New Jersey 12th District, not inside this join. New Jersey federal spending (/states/nj/) is the statewide parent.

An obligation is a recorded commitment. An outlay is a payment. The $535,052,525.31 headline is the obligation sum, not research already delivered or census operations already billed. No fiscal year is attached in this packet, so this page does not invent one. Citing the figure as cash already sent in New Jersey 12th District (NJ-12) confuses two USAspending concepts. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total.

Commerce obligations are not census work already billed

The extract has no roster of labs, NOAA offices, or named contractors. Facts remain $535,052,525.31, 68 awards, agency 013 (Department of Commerce), New Jersey 12th District (NJ-12), and a district-wide book of $10,174,542,497.64. 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 NIST ranking would be a different overlay.

Keep the obligation word on $535,052,525.31. Keep both Department of Commerce and New Jersey 12th District (NJ-12) in the citation. All spending ties (/ties/) indexes other pairs. Mixing those shelves would invent a share of New Jersey spending or of Department of Commerce's national book the packet never computed. The $535,052,525.31 figure is the tagged pair only.

Citing agency 013 in New Jersey 12th District (NJ-12)

A clean footnote names Department of Commerce (agency 013), New Jersey 12th District (NJ-12), $535,052,525.31 in obligations, and 68 awards on USAspending.gov. Start at /districts/NJ-12/ for the district overlay, /agencies/013/ for the agency rollup, /states/nj/ for New Jersey 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.
