Department of Commerce federal obligations in Tennessee
Department of Commerce shows $979,293,044.09 in USAspending.gov obligations coded to Tennessee, across 98 awards.

The implied mean is about $9,992,786.16 per award — a quotient of two packet facts, not a typical invoice. USAspending.gov is the source. Amounts are obligations, not outlays.

- The pair is awarding-agency 013 × place-of-performance TN.
- Amounts are obligations, not outlays; no fiscal year is in this packet.

Ninety-eight Commerce rows on Tennessee
Department of Commerce as awarding agency, Tennessee as place-of-performance: 98 records summing to $979,293,044.09. A Department of Commerce award coded outside TN is out. An award in Tennessee from a different awarding agency is out even if the topic sounds related. Tennessee (TN) excludes Kentucky, Virginia, North Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Arkansas, and Missouri. A Knoxville-coded award with a North Carolina place-of-performance tag is a different cell.
98 awards against $979,293,044.09 is a 98-award Commerce file, thin against a large dollar total. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not read 98 as 98 unique named plants, NOAA lists, or export invoices. Department of Commerce in Tennessee is the both-keys table. Tennessee federal spending is the all-agency state hub. Department of Commerce is the agency book without an TN filter. All spending ties lists other joins.
Ninety-eight awards against about $979 million is a thin file. Unique manufacturers are unpublished. Do not invent them. Correlation is not causation: Tennessee did not cause $979,293,044.09 by existing as a large or small place. Population and outcome scores are not packet facts. The join is 013 × TN only.
A thin Commerce file is not a plant census
$979,293,044.09 does not measure named plants, NOAA lists, or export invoices. Those series are not USAspending fields on this aggregate. The cell sums award obligations with awarding-agency code 013 and an TN place-of-performance tag.
Do not treat 98 awards as a census of named plants, NOAA lists, or export invoices. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If Tennessee federal spending or Department of Commerce matched $979,293,044.09 and 98, the join would be pointless. Use the overlay when both keys must stay on. Neighboring-state Commerce joins are other pairs, not addends.
Tennessee, not a three-metro map
Place of performance TN is a geography tag on the award, not a metro list and not a commuting zone. Tennessee (TN) excludes Kentucky, Virginia, North Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Arkansas, and Missouri. A Knoxville-coded award with a North Carolina place-of-performance tag is a different cell. Recipient address can differ from that state tag.
This packet does not split $979,293,044.09 by city, county, or named facility. 98 awards stay statewide. A county table would be a different extract. Campaign-finance filings do not fund these USAspending obligations.
Large implied means, still obligations
Even a thick or thin file records obligations, not necessarily outlays. $979,293,044.09 can include amounts that pay on a later schedule. Citing it as cash already sent in Tennessee confuses two concepts. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total.
Tennessee’s own budget is a different ledger. Mixing it with the 98 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 $979,293,044.09. Sharing a geography with Department of Commerce does not mean FEC donations funded these awards.
Citing Commerce in Tennessee
Cite USAspending.gov: Department of Commerce (agency 013) obligated $979,293,044.09 on 98 awards coded to Tennessee. Name both sides. Keep “obligations.” Do not relabel the total as named plants, NOAA lists, or export invoices.
Prefer Department of Commerce in Tennessee if the overlay has refreshed after an ingest. Tennessee federal spending still includes every other awarding agency tagged to TN. Department of Commerce is the 013 parent without the TN filter. All spending ties indexes other pairs. Do not add those parents into $979,293,044.09.
A usable footnote names Department of Commerce, Tennessee, $979,293,044.09, and 98. The compact headline $979.3M is that same dollar total rounded. It is not a second extract. The implied mean near $9,992,786.16 is $979,293,044.09 divided by 98. Means are not medians. USAspending.gov remains the originating system.
Ninety-eight Commerce rows beside a Treasury 020 overlay
Tennessee’s Commerce overlay is 98 awards totaling $979,293,044.09. The implied mean near $9,992,786.16 is large because the file is thin. Treasury in Tennessee uses awarding-agency 020. Those 268 Treasury awards are not inside this Commerce cell. Do not invent plants.
