Department of Justice obligations in Alabama 7th District (AL-07)

DOJ × AL-07 is 175 awards, not 175 courthouses

This page is a join: Department of Justice and Alabama 7th District (AL-07). SpendingVault sums tagged obligations: $538,169,659.68 on 175 awards for awarding agency 015 with Alabama 7th District (AL-07) as place of performance. Agency 015 crossed with Alabama 7th District (AL-07) is a Justice listing filter, not a crime ranking and not Alabama's entire DOJ book. Treat the pair as a table intersection, not a ranking of districts as winners or losers, and not a claim that 175 awards equal that many courthouses, prisons, or named grantees.

DHS or Interior awards that mention law enforcement sit outside this cell unless they also carry agency 015 and AL-07 geography. Correlation between this obligation sum and local activity statistics is not causation. Those statistics are not in the packet. Place of performance as AL-07 locates the tagged awards; it does not deposit $538,169,659.68 in a district treasury. Campaign contributions recorded on FEC.gov do not fund this USAspending cell.

One hundred seventy-five Justice rows on $538 million

One hundred seventy-five records is a mid-size Justice file. Grant continuations and contract modifications can add rows without each row being a new office. Mean obligation is about $3.08 million if $538,169,659.68 were divided evenly across 175 lines. That ratio is a quotient of two packet facts, not a published typical award. Award count is a row count of USAspending awards, including possible modifications. It is not a census of courthouses, prisons, or named grantees. Unique recipients are unpublished.

Agency code 015 is the Department of Justice. The awarding-agency tag does not name components, prisons, or grantees. This packet lists none of them. Facility and grantee names are unpublished. One hundred seventy-five awards are not one hundred seventy-five courthouses. Open Alabama 7th District (/districts/AL-07/) for the stored district table and Department of Justice (/agencies/015/) for the national agency shelf. The $538,169,659.68 total remains an obligation rollup on tagged awards.

Alabama 7th District as DOJ place of performance

Alabama 7th District (AL-07) is a congressional place-of-performance code. Other Alabama districts are other joins. A Mississippi-coded Justice award is another cell. The district's all-agency obligation total is $8,240,598,562.89. $538,169,659.68 is the Department of Justice slice of that book, about 6.5%. Remaining district dollars sit with other awarding agencies on Alabama 7th District, not inside this join. Alabama federal spending (/states/al/) is the statewide parent.

An obligation is a recorded commitment. An outlay is a payment. The $538,169,659.68 headline is the obligation sum, not grants already drawn or cases already closed. No fiscal year is attached in this packet, so this page does not invent one. Citing the figure as cash already sent in Alabama 7th District (AL-07) confuses two USAspending concepts. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total.

Justice obligations are not cases already closed

The extract has no roster of courthouses, prisons, or named grantees. Facts remain $538,169,659.68, 175 awards, agency 015 (Department of Justice), Alabama 7th District (AL-07), and a district-wide book of $8,240,598,562.89. This page will not invent a contractor league table. Sibling district-agency joins are separate obligation totals, not a better or worse score. Confusing this join with a statewide Justice total or a crime-rate ranking would be a different overlay.

Keep the obligation word on $538,169,659.68. Keep both Department of Justice and Alabama 7th District (AL-07) in the citation. All spending ties (/ties/) indexes other pairs. Mixing those shelves would invent a share of Alabama spending or of Department of Justice's national book the packet never computed. The $538,169,659.68 figure is the tagged pair only.

Citing agency 015 in Alabama 7th District (AL-07)

A clean footnote names Department of Justice (agency 015), Alabama 7th District (AL-07), $538,169,659.68 in obligations, and 175 awards on USAspending.gov. Start at /districts/AL-07/ for the district overlay, /agencies/015/ for the agency rollup, /states/al/ for Alabama statewide spending, and /ties/ for other pairs. If a later ingest moves the live overlay, prefer the overlay when the table and this snapshot diverge. A ties page exists because two tables meet.
