Department of Commerce obligations in Pennsylvania 10th District (PA-10)

Department of Commerce and Pennsylvania 10th District (PA-10) as a USAspending pair

Awarding agency 013 and congressional district PA-10 meet here. $1,172,301,207.14 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 Pennsylvania 10th District (PA-10), and not an outlay register. The packet does not split Commerce bureaus or contract versus assistance instruments. 12 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 Unique recipients are unpublished.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 $1,172,301,207.14 by 12 yields about $97,691,767.26 per award on average. That ratio is two packet facts. It is not a typical contract, grant, or benefit line. 12 awards against a one-point-two-billion-dollar Commerce cell is an extreme concentration of rows. Treat the count as action records, not unique firms or NIST campuses. Do not treat PA-10’s 013 cell as a synonym for every Commerce account nationwide. Open Pennsylvania 10th District for the district table without this agency filter, Department of Commerce for agency 013 without the PA-10 filter, Pennsylvania federal spending for every awarding agency in the Pennsylvania extract, and All spending ties for the rest of the join list. Quote those hubs as parents, not as addends to $1,172,301,207.14.

How USAspending labels Department of Commerce

USAspending labels awarding agency 013 as Department of Commerce. That code produced $1,172,301,207.14 when crossed with Pennsylvania 10th District (PA-10) place of performance. The agency-wide 013 hub does not require PA-10 geography. The district hub does not require Commerce. Only this tie applies both filters, which is why it cites 12 awards. The packet does not split Commerce bureaus or contract versus assistance instruments.

Correlation is not causation: Pennsylvania 10th District (PA-10) did not “cause” $1,172,301,207.14 by existing as a large or small place. Population, outcome scores, and named facilities are not packet facts. The join is 013 × PA-10 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.

Geography is PA-10, not a facility map

Pennsylvania 10th District (PA-10) on this join is a USAspending geography field, not a claim that every dollar was disbursed to residents of that district. Awards can list PA-10 while later work occurs elsewhere. Awards tagged to other Pennsylvania districts belong on those ties even when the awarding agency is also 013. Pennsylvania 10th District (PA-10) is a numbered congressional place-of-performance code inside Pennsylvania. Other Pennsylvania districts are separate joins even when they reuse awarding-agency 013. Pennsylvania 10th District (PA-10) is one numbered geography among Pennsylvania’s districts. Neighboring Pennsylvania districts are not this join, even when awarding-agency 013 appears elsewhere.

Pennsylvania federal spending shows how agency 013 sits beside other awarding agencies in the same state extract. $1,172,301,207.14 is one district-agency column, not the state table. This packet does not split Pennsylvania 10th District (PA-10) by county, city, or census tract. Awards that carry a different awarding-agency code stay on those other ties even if the work sounds related to Department of Commerce. The district-wide obligation total published here is $129,841,109,368.24; $1,172,301,207.14 is the Commerce slice of that denominator.

Commitment totals versus cash paid

USAspending.gov records an obligation when the federal government commits funds on an award. $1,172,301,207.14 is that kind of sum for Department of Commerce inside PA-10 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 $1,172,301,207.14 as given.

If Pennsylvania 10th District or Department of Commerce has refreshed, prefer the live hub over this snapshot for current rows. The pair is not a firm census, a NIST-lab inventory, a trade-mission list, or a named-grantee file. 0.9% of $129,841,109,368.24 is the district share on this packet, not a performance score.

Share, mean, and what they are not

12 awards against a one-point-two-billion-dollar Commerce cell is an extreme concentration of rows. Treat the count as action records, not unique firms or NIST campuses. 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 $97,691,767.26) and the district share (0.9% of $129,841,109,368.24) are ratios of packet facts. Prefer Pennsylvania 10th District and Department of Commerce if the live tables moved.

Do not rank Pennsylvania 10th District (PA-10) 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 $1,172,301,207.14 and 12 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 Pennsylvania 10th District (PA-10)?

USAspending.gov lists $1,172,301,207.14 in Department of Commerce obligations across 12 awards with place of performance in Pennsylvania 10th District (PA-10). Agency 013 × PA-10 is an obligation join, not an outlay and not Pennsylvania’s complete federal ledger. The cell is 0.9% of the district’s published total ($129,841,109,368.24). Unique recipients are unpublished. Average obligation is about $97,691,767.26, a ratio of those two facts only.

Does $1,172,301,207.14 include every Commerce program in PA-10?

The packet publishes one awarding-agency rollup. The packet does not split Commerce bureaus or contract versus assistance instruments. $1,172,301,207.14 is the combined obligation sum for agency 013 inside PA-10 coding. This page will not invent a program pie or name contractors. Open Department of Commerce and Pennsylvania 10th District to inspect parent tables. 12 remains an action count, not a program count.

Is $1,172,301,207.14 cash already paid in Pennsylvania 10th District (PA-10)?

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 $1,172,301,207.14 as checks already cleared in Pennsylvania 10th District (PA-10) confuses those terms. Later ingests can revise 12 awards. Prefer the live district and agency hubs if the tables moved.

How does this Commerce cell relate to Pennsylvania statewide spending?

Pennsylvania federal spending is the Pennsylvania statewide extract across awarding agencies. $1,172,301,207.14 is the Department of Commerce amount inside Pennsylvania 10th District (PA-10) only, not the statewide Commerce total. Adding Pennsylvania federal spending to $1,172,301,207.14 double-counts. Agency 013 nationwide lives on Department of Commerce. This join is 013 × PA-10.
