Department of Commerce obligations in Washington 10th District (WA-10)

Commerce × WA-10 is a thin-file join, not a Puget Sound bureau census

This page is a join: Department of Commerce (agency 013) as awarding agency, and Washington 10th District (WA-10) as congressional district place of performance. SpendingVault sums tagged obligations to $1,712,253,079.27 on 86 awards. The join is awarding-agency 013 crossed with a WA-10 location field, not Washington’s entire commerce budget and not a named NOAA, EDA, or Census roster. Treat the pair as a catalog intersection, not a ranking of which district received more, and not a claim that 86 awards equal 86 laboratories, ports, or unique contractors.

NSF research, DOT port grants, or Commerce-coded awards in WA-06 sit outside this total unless they also carry agency 013 and WA-10. Mixing those books into $1,712,253,079.27 would invent a combined figure the packet never computed. Correlation between this obligation sum and port tonnage is not causation. Tonnage and campus tables are not in the packet. Place of performance as WA-10 locates the tagged awards; it does not deposit $1,712,253,079.27 in a district treasury. Olympia-versus-Tacoma folklore is not a geography split in this packet.

86 awards behind $1.71 billion

Mean obligation is about $19,909,919.53 if $1,712,253,079.27 were divided evenly across 86 lines. That ratio is not a published typical EDA grant and not a NOAA ship cost. Award count is a row count, including possible continuations and modifications. It is not a count of labs, ports, or unique vendors. Eighty-six awards against a $1.71 billion cell is a thin, high-mean Commerce file. One restatement can move the mean quickly.

A handful of large assistance or contract vehicles can dominate an 86-row file. This page will not invent contractor or recipient names. Open Washington 10th District for the stored district table. Do not convert 86 into a map of Washington 10th District Commerce sites. The $1,712,253,079.27 total remains an obligation rollup on tagged awards. Inspect named lines on the overlay rather than inferring a bureau-campus census.

Washington 10th District, not a South Sound science rollup

Washington 10th District (WA-10) is one geography tag on USAspending awards, not a commuting zone and not a metro list. Awards tagged to WA-06, WA-09, or another Washington district are out even if the waterbody sounds related. Recipient address can differ from that district tag. The district parent in this extract is $12,185,220,009.15 across every awarding agency; $1,712,253,079.27 is the Department of Commerce slice — about 14.1% of that parent by arithmetic. Subtracting is tempting; this page still does not publish the leftover agency list.

A statewide Commerce figure on Washington federal spending mixes every district. Do not rank WA-10 against neighboring districts as a winner or loser. Other Washington district cells are other joins. Washington federal spending is the statewide book without a district filter. Adding statewide Department of Commerce dollars to $1,712,253,079.27 would double count. Campaign-finance filings are a different public-record system; this join does not claim donations funded these obligations.

Agency 013 obligations are not port fees already collected

Commerce awards often obligate as bureau contracts and assistance rows and draw as work proceeds. The $1,712,253,079.27 headline is the obligation sum, not a punch-list of surveys completed and not a Treasury outlay total. A NOAA or EDA dashboard dated to a particular year is not automatically this join unless it uses agency 013, WA-10 geography, and the obligation metric.

Department of Commerce is the nationwide agency book without a WA-10 filter. This extract does not split NOAA from EDA, and it does not split Census from ITA. Those cuts would require award documentation beyond dollars, 86 awards, agency 013, and Washington 10th District. This page will not invent a share. Unique recipients remain unpublished.

What the WA-10 Commerce table omits

The extract has no campus names, vessel names, or contractor names. Facts remain $1,712,253,079.27, 86 awards, agency 013, Department of Commerce, Washington 10th District (WA-10), and district parent $12,185,220,009.15. Campus folklore belongs on another extract if it appears at all. Keep the obligation label. Later ingests can revise both the dollars and the 86-award count; prefer the live table when the overlay and this snapshot diverge.

Where the Commerce × WA-10 pair lives

Start with Washington 10th District for the district rollup that contains this Department of Commerce cell. Department of Commerce is the nationwide agency listing. Washington federal spending gives Washington context without a WA-10 filter. All spending ties indexes other two-key joins on the same obligation metric. Eighty-six awards totaling this cell remain a thin administrative file, not a port roster. Keep both Department of Commerce and Washington 10th District (WA-10) in every citation sentence. Do not recast $1,712,253,079.27 as cash already paid or as Washington’s entire commerce appropriation. USAspending.gov remains the source; SpendingVault republishes the join.

Questions

How much Commerce spending is obligated in Washington 10th District?

USAspending.gov shows $1,712,253,079.27 in Department of Commerce (agency 013) obligations with Washington 10th District (WA-10) as place of performance, across 86 awards. The sum is a commitment total, not outlays and not the district’s full $12,185,220,009.15 parent. Other agencies sit outside this join unless they also carry 013.

Do 86 awards mean 86 Commerce contractors in WA-10?

No. Award count is a row count of Department of Commerce actions tagged to WA-10. It is not a campus or vendor census. Mean obligation of about $19,909,919.53 is a quotient of $1,712,253,079.27 and 86, not a typical grant.

Is the WA-10 Commerce total already paid as outlays?

Not on this metric. Obligations are recorded commitments on awards. Outlays are payments from the Treasury. The $1,712,253,079.27 headline is the obligation rollup in SpendingVault’s extract. Invoice draws and remaining balances are not published here.
