Department of Commerce federal obligations in Rhode Island

Agency 013 meeting Rhode Island

013 × RI is the pair. Department of Commerce obligations with a Rhode Island place-of-performance tag sum to $375,902,113.59 on 210 awards. A Commerce award in a neighboring state is a different join. Rhode Island (RI) excludes Massachusetts and Connecticut. A Newport-coded award with a Massachusetts place-of-performance tag is a different cell.

Do not inflate 210 into a roster of port throughput, named shipyards, or weather-station counts. Unique recipients are unpublished. 210 awards against $375,902,113.59 is a 210-award Commerce file, denser than Wyoming’s 29-row Commerce join. Use Department of Commerce in Rhode Island when both keys must stay on, Rhode Island federal spending for all Rhode Island awarding agencies, Department of Commerce for Department of Commerce nationwide, and All spending ties for other pairs.

Place-of-performance RI is not a customs-district roll-up. Unique exporters are unpublished. Do not treat the pair as a verdict on Rhode Island or on Department of Commerce. Correlation is not causation. The join is awarding-agency 013 × RI only.

A Commerce cell is not a port ledger

$375,902,113.59 does not measure port throughput, named shipyards, or weather-station counts. Those series are not USAspending fields on this aggregate. The cell sums award obligations with awarding-agency code 013 and an RI place-of-performance tag.

Do not treat 210 awards as a census of port throughput, named shipyards, or weather-station counts. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If Rhode Island federal spending or Department of Commerce matched $375,902,113.59 and 210, the join would be pointless. Use the overlay when both keys must stay on. Neighboring-state Commerce joins are other pairs, not addends.

Rhode Island, not a waterfront-only map

Do not shrink Rhode Island to one metro because a well-known city sits inside RI. Rhode Island (RI) excludes Massachusetts and Connecticut. A Newport-coded award with a Massachusetts place-of-performance tag is a different cell. The geography key remains the state tag.

This packet does not split $375,902,113.59 by city, county, or named facility. 210 awards stay statewide. A county table would be a different extract. Campaign-finance filings do not fund these USAspending obligations.

Two hundred ten Commerce obligations

The source note on this packet is explicit: obligations are not outlays. $375,902,113.59 can include amounts still scheduled. Mixing the two in Rhode Island leaves this extract. Deobligations cut the total; upward adjustments raise it. A later payment calendar is not published here.

Rhode Island’s own budget is a different ledger. Mixing it with the 210 awards 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 $375,902,113.59. Sharing a geography with Department of Commerce does not mean FEC donations funded these awards.

Citing Commerce in Rhode Island

Cite USAspending.gov: Department of Commerce (agency 013) obligated $375,902,113.59 on 210 awards coded to Rhode Island. Name both sides. Keep “obligations.” Do not relabel the total as port throughput, named shipyards, or weather-station counts.

Prefer Department of Commerce in Rhode Island if the overlay has refreshed after an ingest. Rhode Island federal spending still includes every other awarding agency tagged to RI. Department of Commerce is the 013 parent without the RI filter. All spending ties indexes other pairs. Do not add those parents into $375,902,113.59.

A usable footnote names Department of Commerce, Rhode Island, $375,902,113.59, and 210. The compact headline $375.9M is that same dollar total rounded. It is not a second extract. The implied mean near $1,790,010.06 is $375,902,113.59 divided by 210. Means are not medians. USAspending.gov remains the originating system.
