Department of Justice federal obligations in Colorado

One cell: DOJ and Colorado

This page is a join: Department of Justice as awarding agency 015, Colorado as place of performance. The published cell is $683,914,331.67. That number does not describe every DOJ bureau account in the country, and it does not describe every federal award in Colorado. Front range and mountain-county folklore is a reader path, not a column in this extract.

The award count is 2,116 — a very long award list. Repeat awards and modifications still add rows; the listed count is not a unique-recipient census and not a census of courthouses. Grantees names belong on the overlay if they appear as recipients; they are not extra packet dollars.

Instruments behind 2,116 rows

About $323,210.93 per award is $683,914,331.67 ÷ 2,116. High means often mark a few large instruments; low means often mark many small rows. This packet publishes neither a breakdown by award type nor a list of grantees. U.s. attorney, prison, and byrne-grant folklore remains outside the numeric fields.

Front range and mountain-county folklore may explain why a searcher landed here. It does not add dollars, awards, or grantees to the extract. Keep the published pair at $683,914,331.67 and 2,116.

Neighbor-state grant administration is excluded

Department of Justice is Department of Justice without a state filter. Colorado federal spending is Colorado without an agency filter. This slug is the intersection. Citing the nationwide DOJ book as if it were Colorado's $683,914,331.67 cell is a misread of the join.

A CO place-of-performance tag is not a promise that every dollar stayed inside Denver. Work can be planned in Colorado and performed partly in Wyoming or Utah. Those neighbor-coded awards are out of this cell. No metro split of Denver from Colorado Springs or Boulder is published here.

Legal commitment, not cash paid

USAspending.gov distinguishes obligations from outlays. The source note on this packet is explicit: the $683,914,331.67 figure is an obligation aggregate, not cash paid. No fiscal year is published in the facts, so none is invented here.

2,116 actions can include modifications that change a prior obligation. That is why a record count is not a unique-project census. Use Department of Justice in Colorado for the live table.

No contractor roster in this packet

The join is descriptive. $683,914,331.67 does not prove that Colorado received too much or too little DOJ money, and it does not prove that grant administration caused local outcomes. No performance metric is in the packet.

Campaign-finance filings do not fund this USAspending cell. Department of Justice obligations in Colorado and FEC receipts that mention similar words are separate public records. This page does not merge them.

Where Department of Justice in Colorado sits among other ties

Cite both sides: Department of Justice (agency 015) and Colorado. Then cite $683,914,331.67 and 2,116. Then cite USAspending.gov. Skip metro folklore about Denver from Colorado Springs or Boulder. Skip invented grantees.

Follow Department of Justice in Colorado for the overlay, Colorado federal spending for statewide context, Department of Justice for the agency without Colorado, and All spending ties for sibling joins. Front range and mountain-county folklore does not add a third numeric field. This packet's facts remain $683,914,331.67, 2,116, 015, CO, and Department of Justice. The source note is unchanged: USAspending.gov aggregate of federal obligations by state and awarding agency. Obligations are not outlays. Repeating $683,914,331.67 as cash already spent in Colorado is a unit error, not a rounding error. U.s. attorney, prison, and byrne-grant folklore can be a legitimate research question on another page. Here it is labeled folklore because the packet has no NAICS, CFDA, or program column. Front range and mountain-county folklore is the same kind of reader path: useful for search, unused as math. Agency 015 on a different state's overlay is a sibling join, not a remainder that must add to a national DOJ budget on this page. Colorado's $683,914,331.67 cell stands alone. Do not subtract it from Department of Justice and call the difference 'Colorado versus everywhere else' without a published national total in this packet — there is none.
