Department of Commerce federal obligations in North Dakota

Reading $183,593,374.49 as a two-filter total

Start with the pair, not a story. Department of Commerce plus North Dakota is the definition of this page. $183,593,374.49 is the obligation aggregate USAspending.gov reports for that pair. 35 is the accompanying award count. Nothing else in the packet adds a third total.

Behind $183,593,374.49 sit 35 recorded actions. That is a short award list. A long list is not automatically many distinct projects, and a short list is not automatically one project. The packet does not include a unique-award or unique-recipient field.

Division is not a typical-award study

Keep $5,245,524.99 labeled as a mean. Do not call it a typical commerce or grant award in North Dakota. Typical would require a distribution, and the packet has only a sum and a count. Department of Commerce in North Dakota remains the live table.

The source note is unchanged: USAspending.gov aggregate of federal obligations by state and awarding agency. Obligations are not outlays.

North Dakota geography versus neighboring codes

North Dakota federal spending collects every awarding agency tagged to North Dakota. Department of Commerce collects every state tagged to Department of Commerce. Only Department of Commerce in North Dakota is supposed to match $183,593,374.49 among those three links.

If a reader needs a city table, this packet is the wrong artifact. Statewide North Dakota is the only geography grain published here.

No fiscal year is published in the facts

The sourceNote is: USAspending.gov aggregate of federal obligations by state and awarding agency. Obligations are not outlays. Repeating $183,593,374.49 as cash already spent in North Dakota is a unit error, not a rounding error.

Cite USAspending.gov as the source. Do not cite FEC, Census, or a press office as the origin of $183,593,374.49. Those are other systems.

Donations do not fund this USAspending cell

No contractor, grantee, or beneficiary name is in the packet, so none is invented here. Unique grantees would live on the overlay if USAspending.gov lists them there.

Correlation is not causation. A large Commerce cell in North Dakota does not explain North Dakota politics, and North Dakota politics does not explain $183,593,374.49.

Closing the loop on agency 013 and ND

Reuse $183,593,374.49 only with both filters visible. Agency 013 without North Dakota is Department of Commerce. North Dakota without agency 013 is North Dakota federal spending.

Fargo is a reader landmark, not a published subtotal. Original filings remain on USAspending.gov. This file copies overlayTarget /states/nd/agencies/013/ and canonicalPath /ties/department-of-commerce-in-north-dakota/ from the packet. It does not add a fiscal year, a contractor, or an FEC dollar. If the live overlay later disagrees with $183,593,374.49 or 35, trust the table and treat this prose as dated to the extract. Until then, the reusable facts are $183,593,374.49, 35 awards, agency 013, Department of Commerce, North Dakota (ND), and the obligation unit. All spending ties is an index of joins, not a hidden total that already includes $183,593,374.49. Department of Commerce in North Dakota remains the place to verify the live rows. Place-of-performance North Dakota is statewide; it does not split Fargo, Bismarck, and Grand Forks. Neighbor-coded activity in Minnesota, South Dakota, or Montana stays out even if mail is handled in Fargo. Correlation is not causation. Census, trade, and standards folklore can be a legitimate research question on another page. Here it is labeled folklore because the packet has no NAICS, CFDA, or program column. Prairie, energy-patch, and river-city folklore is the same kind of reader path: useful for search, unused as math. Agency 013 on a different state's overlay is a sibling join, not a remainder that must add to a national Commerce budget on this page. North Dakota's $183,593,374.49 cell stands alone. Do not subtract it from Department of Commerce and call the difference 'North Dakota versus everywhere else' without a published national total in this packet — there is none. Department of Commerce is the awarding-agency label stored on the North Dakota overlay; the numeric key is 013. Readers who only remember the short name Commerce still need both the state tag and the agency tag before quoting $183,593,374.49. The 35 figure is not a count of grantees and is not a count of distinct Commerce programs. Modifications can add rows without adding new vendors. That is another reason the mean of about $5,245,524.99 is not a typical commerce or grant award.
