Department of Justice federal obligations in Nevada
USAspending.gov records $818,192,542.89 in Department of Justice obligations with Nevada place of performance, covering 566 awards. The pair is awarding agency 015 and state NV. Five hundred sixty-six awards sit behind $818,192,542.89. That row count can mix large instruments with smaller modifications. Average obligation per award is about $1,445,569.86. That ratio is not a typical Justice contract. Amounts are obligations, not outlays.
Key figures
- Justice in Nevada: $818,192,542.89 across 566 USAspending awards.
- Implied mean about $1,445,569.86 per record — a packet quotient, not a typical project.
- Agency 015 × NV is not a measure of unique courts, unique prisons, or a census of U.S. Attorney offices.
- Cite obligations from USAspending.gov, not outlays.
- Nevada federal spending and Department of Justice are parents, not amounts to add into $818,192,542.89.
What the Justice–Nevada join is
Department of Justice as awarding agency, Nevada as place-of-performance: 566 records summing to $818,192,542.89. A Department of Justice award coded outside NV is out. An award in Nevada from a different awarding agency is out even if the topic sounds related. Nevada (NV) excludes California, Arizona, Utah, Oregon, and Idaho. A South Lake Tahoe-coded award is California even if the basin story sounds similar.
Five hundred sixty-six awards sit behind $818,192,542.89. That row count can mix large instruments with smaller modifications. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not read 566 as 566 unique unique courts, unique prisons, or a census of U.S. Attorney offices. The overlay Department of Justice in Nevada is the both-keys table. Nevada federal spending is the all-agency state hub. Department of Justice is the agency book without an NV filter. All spending ties lists other joins.
Las Vegas, Reno, and Carson City share one NV stamp. DOJ components can share awarding-agency 015 without a published bureau pie. Correlation is not causation: Nevada did not cause $818,192,542.89 by existing as a large or small place. Population and outcome scores are not packet facts. The join is 015 × NV only.
566 actions are not 566 courts
$818,192,542.89 does not measure unique courts, unique prisons, or a census of U.S. Attorney offices. Those series are not USAspending fields on this aggregate. The cell sums award obligations with awarding-agency code 015 and an NV place-of-performance tag.
Do not treat 566 awards as a census of unique courts, unique prisons, or a census of U.S. Attorney offices. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If Nevada federal spending or Department of Justice matched $818,192,542.89 and 566, the join would be pointless. Use the overlay when both keys must stay on. Neighbor-state Justice joins are other pairs, not addends. Dividing $818,192,542.89 by 566 yields about $1,445,569.86 per award on average. That average hides contracts, grants, and other instruments. It is not a typical Justice line and not a published median.
Nevada, not a Sierra Justice rollup
Place of performance NV is a geography tag on the award, not a metro list and not a commuting zone. Nevada (NV) excludes California, Arizona, Utah, Oregon, and Idaho. A South Lake Tahoe-coded award is California even if the basin story sounds similar. Recipient address can differ from that state tag.
Las Vegas, Reno, and Carson City share one NV stamp. This packet does not split $818,192,542.89 by city, county, or named facility. 566 awards stay statewide. A county table would be a different extract.
A mid-count Justice file, still obligations
Even a thick or thin file records obligations, not necessarily outlays. $818,192,542.89 can include amounts that pay on a later schedule. Citing it as cash already sent in Nevada confuses two concepts. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total.
Nevada's own budget is a different ledger. Mixing it with the 566-award 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 $818,192,542.89.
What this pair does not prove
A large Justice total in Nevada does not mean the agency caused Nevada's fiscal mix, and it does not connect these obligations to campaign contributions. Keep $818,192,542.89 labeled as agency 015 obligations with Nevada place of performance. Neighbor Justice cells among California, Arizona, Utah, Oregon, and Idaho are separate joins. This page does not rank Nevada as a winner or loser.
Recipient names are unpublished in this packet. Do not invent contractors or award recipients to explain $818,192,542.89. Place-of-performance NV can differ from a vendor mailroom. A South Lake Tahoe-coded award is California even if the basin story sounds similar. A later ingest can restate $818,192,542.89 and 566 without changing the join definition: awarding agency 015 crossed with Nevada.
How to cite the Nevada–Justice pair
Cite USAspending.gov: Department of Justice (agency 015) obligated $818,192,542.89 on 566 awards coded to Nevada. Name both sides. Keep “obligations.” Do not relabel the total as unique courts, unique prisons, or a census of U.S. Attorney offices.
Prefer Department of Justice in Nevada if the overlay has refreshed after an ingest. Nevada federal spending still includes every other awarding agency tagged to NV. Department of Justice is the 015 parent without the NV filter. All spending ties indexes other pairs. Do not add those parents into $818,192,542.89.
A usable footnote names Department of Justice, Nevada, $818,192,542.89, and 566. The implied mean near $1,445,569.86 is $818,192,542.89 divided by 566. Means are not medians. USAspending.gov remains the originating system. FEC individual contributions are a different dataset; they do not fund this USAspending cell. Correlation is not causation.
