Department of Justice federal obligations in New York

DOJ awards tagged to New York

Department of Justice as awarding agency, New York as place-of-performance: 4,256 records summing to $1,698,860,465.13. A Department of Justice award coded outside NY is out. An award in New York from a different awarding agency is out even if the topic sounds related. New York (NY) excludes New Jersey, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, and Vermont. A Newark-coded award is New Jersey even if the matter is heard in Manhattan.

Four thousand two hundred fifty-six awards is a mid-thick DOJ book: more rows than a thin Energy cell, still a record count rather than unique recipients. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not read 4,256 as 4,256 unique indictments, unique defendants, or named U.S. Attorney offices. The overlay Department of Justice in New York is the both-keys table. New York federal spending is the all-agency state hub. Department of Justice is the agency book without an NY filter. All spending ties lists other joins.

COPS, OJP, BOP, and litigating divisions can share 015. This packet does not isolate a Southern District or a prison facility inside $1,698,860,465.13. Correlation is not causation: New York did not cause $1,698,860,465.13 by existing as a large or small place. Population and outcome scores are not packet facts. The join is 015 × NY only.

Not SDNY folklore or an indictment count

$1,698,860,465.13 does not measure indictments, unique defendants, or named 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 NY place-of-performance tag.

Do not treat 4,256 awards as a census of indictments, unique defendants, or named U.S. Attorney offices. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If New York federal spending or Department of Justice matched $1,698,860,465.13 and 4,256, the join would be pointless. Use the overlay when both keys must stay on. New Jersey, Connecticut, and Pennsylvania DOJ joins are other pairs, not addends.

New York statewide, not a five-borough map

Place of performance NY is a geography tag on the award, not a metro list and not a commuting zone. New York (NY) excludes New Jersey, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, and Vermont. A Newark-coded award is New Jersey even if the matter is heard in Manhattan. Recipient address can differ from that state tag.

COPS, OJP, BOP, and litigating divisions can share 015. This packet does not isolate a Southern District or a prison facility inside $1,698,860,465.13. This packet does not split $1,698,860,465.13 by city, county, or named facility. 4,256 awards stay statewide. A county table would be a different extract.

Grant and contract mix, still obligations

Even a thick or thin file records obligations, not necessarily outlays. $1,698,860,465.13 can include amounts that pay on a later schedule. Citing it as cash already sent in New York confuses two concepts. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total.

New York’s own budget is a different ledger. Mixing it with the 4,256-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 $1,698,860,465.13.

Citing DOJ in New York

Cite USAspending.gov: Department of Justice (agency 015) obligated $1,698,860,465.13 on 4,256 awards coded to New York. Name both sides. Keep “obligations.” Do not relabel the total as indictments, unique defendants, or named U.S. Attorney offices.

Prefer Department of Justice in New York if the overlay has refreshed after an ingest. New York federal spending still includes every other awarding agency tagged to NY. Department of Justice is the 015 parent without the NY filter. All spending ties indexes other pairs. Do not add those parents into $1,698,860,465.13.

A usable footnote names Department of Justice, New York, $1,698,860,465.13, and 4,256. The compact headline $1.70 billion is that same dollar total rounded. It is not a second extract. The implied mean near $399,168 is $1,698,860,465.13 divided by 4,256. Means are not medians. USAspending.gov remains the originating system.
