Department of Energy federal obligations in Kansas
Awarding-agency 089 and place-of-performance KS join at $420,361,104.31 across 74 awards on USAspending.gov. Department of Energy is the awarding-agency label; Kansas is the geography tag. 74 awards against $420,361,104.31 is a 74-award energy file, thin against a nine-figure sum. The implied mean is about $5,680,555.46 per award — arithmetic on two packet facts, not a typical project size. Cite obligations, not outlays. The overlay is a catalog intersection, not a budget vote.
Key figures
- Department of Energy obligated $420,361,104.31 in Kansas across 74 awards (USAspending.gov).
- The pair is awarding-agency 089 × place-of-performance KS.
- Amounts are obligations, not outlays; no fiscal year is in this packet.
- The implied mean near $5,680,555.46 is $420,361,104.31 divided by 74, not a typical award.
- The join does not name contractors and does not measure named labs, reactor inventories, or kilowatt-hour tallies.
Agency 089 meeting Kansas
089 × KS is the pair. Department of Energy obligations with a Kansas place-of-performance tag sum to $420,361,104.31 on 74 awards. A DOE award in a neighboring state is a different join. Kansas (KS) excludes Missouri, Oklahoma, Colorado, and Nebraska. A Wichita-coded award with an Oklahoma place-of-performance tag is a different cell.
Do not inflate 74 into a roster of named labs, reactor inventories, or kilowatt-hour tallies. Unique recipients are unpublished. 74 awards against $420,361,104.31 is a 74-award energy file, thin against a nine-figure sum. Use Department of Energy in Kansas when both keys must stay on, Kansas federal spending for all Kansas awarding agencies, Department of Energy for Department of Energy nationwide, and All spending ties for other pairs.
National-lab folklore is unpublished. Unique contractors are unpublished. Do not invent them. The code is 089. Do not treat the pair as a verdict on Kansas or on Department of Energy. Correlation is not causation. The join is awarding-agency 089 × KS only.
An energy cell is not a lab directory
$420,361,104.31 does not measure named labs, reactor inventories, or kilowatt-hour tallies. Those series are not USAspending fields on this aggregate. The cell sums award obligations with awarding-agency code 089 and an KS place-of-performance tag.
Do not treat 74 awards as a census of named labs, reactor inventories, or kilowatt-hour tallies. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If Kansas federal spending or Department of Energy matched $420,361,104.31 and 74, the join would be pointless. Use the overlay when both keys must stay on. Neighboring-state DOE joins are other pairs, not addends.
Kansas, not a Wichita-only map
Do not shrink Kansas to one metro because a well-known city sits inside KS. Kansas (KS) excludes Missouri, Oklahoma, Colorado, and Nebraska. A Wichita-coded award with an Oklahoma place-of-performance tag is a different cell. The geography key remains the state tag.
This packet does not split $420,361,104.31 by city, county, or named facility. 74 awards stay statewide. A county table would be a different extract. Campaign-finance filings do not fund these USAspending obligations.
Seventy-four obligations, still commitments
The source note on this packet is explicit: obligations are not outlays. $420,361,104.31 can include amounts still scheduled. Mixing the two in Kansas leaves this extract. Deobligations cut the total; upward adjustments raise it. A later payment calendar is not published here.
Kansas’s own budget is a different ledger. Mixing it with the 74 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 $420,361,104.31. Sharing a geography with Department of Energy does not mean FEC donations funded these awards.
Citing the Department of Energy in Kansas
Cite USAspending.gov: Department of Energy (agency 089) obligated $420,361,104.31 on 74 awards coded to Kansas. Name both sides. Keep “obligations.” Do not relabel the total as named labs, reactor inventories, or kilowatt-hour tallies.
Prefer Department of Energy in Kansas if the overlay has refreshed after an ingest. Kansas federal spending still includes every other awarding agency tagged to KS. Department of Energy is the 089 parent without the KS filter. All spending ties indexes other pairs. Do not add those parents into $420,361,104.31.
A usable footnote names Department of Energy, Kansas, $420,361,104.31, and 74. The compact headline $420.4M is that same dollar total rounded. It is not a second extract. The implied mean near $5,680,555.46 is $420,361,104.31 divided by 74. Means are not medians. USAspending.gov remains the originating system.
