Department of Justice federal obligations in Iowa

One USAspending cell: Department of Justice and Iowa

This page is a join: Department of Justice as awarding agency 015, Iowa as place of performance. The published cell is $194,488,166.94. That number does not describe every Justice bureau account in the country, and it does not describe every federal award in Iowa. Justice-grant and law-enforcement folklore is a reader path, not a column in this extract.

The award count is 565 — a mid-size award list. Repeat awards and modifications still add rows; the listed count is not a unique-recipient census and not a census of grantees. Names belong on the overlay if they appear as recipients; they are not extra packet dollars.

Instruments behind 565 rows

About $344,226.84 per award is $194,488,166.94 ÷ 565. 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. Justice-grant and law-enforcement folklore remains outside the numeric fields.

Prosecutor, victim-service, and public-safety folklore may explain a click. It does not add dollars, awards, or grantees to the extract. Keep the published pair at $194,488,166.94 and 565.

Neighbor-coded work is excluded

Department of Justice is Department of Justice without a state filter. Iowa federal spending is Iowa without an agency filter. This slug is the intersection. Citing the nationwide Justice book as if it were Iowa's $194,488,166.94 cell is a misread of the join.

No metro split of Des Moines, Cedar Rapids, and Davenport is published here. Awards coded to Illinois, Minnesota, Missouri, or Nebraska are outside this cell even if mail is handled in Des Moines.

De-obligations are not in this packet

$194,488,166.94 records commitments tagged to Department of Justice and Iowa. Payments, recoveries, and cancellations would live in other fields. This extract does not publish those fields.

565 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 Iowa for the live table.

No contractor roster in this packet

The join is descriptive. $194,488,166.94 does not prove that Iowa received too much or too little Justice money, and it does not prove that Justice activity caused local outcomes. No performance metric is in the packet.

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

Where Department of Justice in Iowa sits among other ties

Cite both sides: Department of Justice (agency 015) and Iowa. Then cite $194,488,166.94 and 565. Then cite USAspending.gov. Skip metro folklore about Des Moines, Cedar Rapids, and Davenport. Skip invented grantees.

River-town, farm-belt, and capital-city 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 Justice budget on this page. Iowa's $194,488,166.94 cell stands alone. Do not subtract it from Department of Justice and call the difference 'Iowa versus everywhere else' without a published national total in this packet — there is none. Department of Justice is the awarding-agency label stored on the Iowa overlay; the numeric key is 015. Readers who only remember the short name Justice still need both the state tag and the agency tag before quoting $194,488,166.94. The 565 figure is not a count of grantees and is not a count of distinct Justice programs. Modifications can add rows without adding new vendors. That is another reason the mean of about $344,226.84 is not a typical justice-grant award. Des Moines is a reader landmark, not a published subtotal. Original filings remain on USAspending.gov. This file copies overlayTarget /states/ia/agencies/015/ and canonicalPath /ties/department-of-justice-in-iowa/ from the packet. It does not add a fiscal year, a contractor, or an FEC dollar. If the live overlay later disagrees with $194,488,166.94 or 565, trust the table and treat this prose as dated to the extract. Until then, the reusable facts are $194,488,166.94, 565 awards, agency 015, Department of Justice, Iowa (IA), and the obligation unit. All spending ties is an index of joins, not a hidden total that already includes $194,488,166.94. Department of Justice in Iowa remains the place to verify the live rows. Place-of-performance Iowa is statewide; it does not split Des Moines, Cedar Rapids, and Davenport. Neighbor-coded activity in Illinois, Minnesota, Missouri, or Nebraska stays out even if mail is handled in Des Moines. Correlation is not causation. Justice-grant and law-enforcement 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.
