Department of Commerce obligations in New Mexico 3rd District (NM-03)
USAspending.gov records $800,806,653.53 in Department of Commerce (agency 013) obligations with place of performance in New Mexico 3rd District (NM-03), across 38 awards. Thirty-eight Commerce-coded awards sit inside a district denominator near ninety-five billion dollars, so the share is under one percent even though the Commerce cell itself is eight hundred one million. That pair is Department of Commerce and New Mexico 3rd District (NM-03) — not New Mexico’s entire federal inflow, not Department of Commerce nationwide, and not cash already paid. The cell is 0.8% of this district’s published obligation total ($95,078,480,123.57). Implied average obligation is about $21,073,859.30 ($800,806,653.53 ÷ 38). Correlation is not causation.

What the Commerce–NM-03 join is
Awarding agency 013 and congressional district NM-03 meet here. $800,806,653.53 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 New Mexico 3rd District (NM-03), and not an outlay register. The packet does not split Commerce bureaus or contract versus assistance instruments. 38 is an action count: modifications and repeat awards add rows. Unique recipients are unpublished. It is not a firm census, a NIST-lab inventory, a trade-mission list, or a named-grantee file.
Dividing $800,806,653.53 by 38 yields about $21,073,859.30 per award on average. That ratio is two packet facts. It is not a typical contract, grant, or benefit line. 38 awards is a thin-to-compact Commerce file. The implied mean is pulled up by size. Named labs and firms are unpublished. Do not treat NM-03’s 013 cell as a synonym for every Commerce account nationwide. Open New Mexico 3rd District for the district table without this agency filter, Department of Commerce for agency 013 without the NM-03 filter, New Mexico federal spending for every awarding agency in the New Mexico extract, and All spending ties for the rest of the join list. Quote those hubs as parents, not as addends to $800,806,653.53.
Awarding agency 013 as the Commerce side
USAspending labels awarding agency 013 as Department of Commerce. That code produced $800,806,653.53 when crossed with New Mexico 3rd District (NM-03) place of performance. The agency-wide 013 hub does not require NM-03 geography. The district hub does not require Commerce. Only this tie applies both filters, which is why it cites 38 awards. The packet does not split Commerce bureaus or contract versus assistance instruments.
Correlation is not causation: New Mexico 3rd District (NM-03) did not “cause” $800,806,653.53 by existing as a large or small place. Population, outcome scores, and named facilities are not packet facts. The join is 013 × NM-03 only. It is not a firm census, a NIST-lab inventory, 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.
New Mexico 3rd District (NM-03) as place of performance
New Mexico 3rd District (NM-03) on this join is a USAspending geography field, not a claim that every dollar was disbursed to residents of that district. Awards can list NM-03 while later work occurs elsewhere. Awards tagged to other New Mexico districts belong on those ties even when the awarding agency is also 013. New Mexico 3rd District (NM-03) is a numbered congressional place-of-performance code inside New Mexico. Other New Mexico districts are separate joins even when they reuse awarding-agency 013. New Mexico 3rd District (NM-03) is a numbered place-of-performance geography inside New Mexico. Other New Mexico districts keep their own agency joins.
Obligations, not outlays
USAspending.gov records an obligation when the federal government commits funds on an award. $800,806,653.53 is that kind of sum for Department of Commerce inside NM-03 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 $800,806,653.53 as given.
New Mexico’s own budget is a separate ledger. Mixing it with the 38-row Commerce cell leaves USAspending.gov. Treat 38 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 ($21,073,859.30) is a concentration statistic, not a typical NM-03 Commerce payment.
How to cite Commerce in NM-03
Cite USAspending.gov: Department of Commerce (agency 013) obligated $800,806,653.53 on 38 awards coded to New Mexico 3rd District (NM-03). Name Department of Commerce and New Mexico 3rd District (NM-03) together. Keep the obligation word.

The pair is not a firm census, a NIST-lab inventory, a trade-mission list, or a named-grantee file. 0.8% of $95,078,480,123.57 is the district share on this packet, not a performance score.
Keep Department of Commerce, New Mexico 3rd District (NM-03), $800,806,653.53, and 38 awards together. All spending ties indexes other pairs. Department of Commerce is the 013 parent without a NM-03 filter. New Mexico federal spending is the New Mexico parent. Do not add those parents to this cell. Sharing a district with Commerce does not mean campaign donations funded these awards, and it does not convert obligations into outlays. This page reports one USAspending join.
Reading a thin Commerce file in NM-03
38 awards is a thin-to-compact Commerce file. The implied mean is pulled up by size. Named labs and firms are unpublished. 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 $21,073,859.30) and the district share (0.8% of $95,078,480,123.57) are ratios of packet facts. Prefer New Mexico 3rd District and Department of Commerce if the live tables moved.
