Department of Justice federal obligations in Utah

Department 015 overlapping Utah

Department of Justice as awarding agency, Utah as place-of-performance: 842 records summing to $243,930,793.08. A Department of Justice award coded outside UT is out. An award in Utah from a different awarding agency is out even if the topic sounds related. Utah (UT) excludes Idaho, Wyoming, Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona, and Nevada. A St. George-coded award with an Arizona place-of-performance tag is a different cell.

842 awards against $243,930,793.08 is an 842-award justice file, thick in records against a $243.9 million cell. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not read 842 as 842 unique named defendants, case dockets, or prison-population counts. Department of Justice in Utah is the both-keys table. Utah federal spending is the all-agency state hub. Department of Justice is the agency book without an UT filter. All spending ties lists other joins.

Named defendants, case dockets, and prison-population counts stay unpublished. Do not invent contractor or defendant names. Correlation is not causation: Utah did not cause $243,930,793.08 by existing as a large or small place. Population and outcome scores are not packet facts. The join is 015 × UT only.

DOJ is not a prison-population census

$243,930,793.08 does not measure named defendants, case dockets, or prison-population counts. Those series are not USAspending fields on this aggregate. The cell sums award obligations with awarding-agency code 015 and an UT place-of-performance tag.

Do not treat 842 awards as a census of named defendants, case dockets, or prison-population counts. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If Utah federal spending or Department of Justice matched $243,930,793.08 and 842, the join would be pointless. Use the overlay when both keys must stay on. Neighboring-state DOJ joins are other pairs, not addends.

Utah, not a Wasatch-only map

Place of performance UT is a geography tag on the award, not a metro list and not a commuting zone. Utah (UT) excludes Idaho, Wyoming, Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona, and Nevada. A Logan-coded award with an Idaho place-of-performance tag is a different cell. Recipient address can differ from that state tag.

This packet does not split $243,930,793.08 by city, county, or named facility. 842 awards stay statewide. A county table would be a different extract. Campaign-finance filings do not fund these USAspending obligations.

Eight hundred forty-two obligations

Even a thick or thin file records obligations, not necessarily outlays. $243,930,793.08 can include amounts that pay on a later schedule. Citing it as cash already sent in Utah confuses two concepts. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total.

Utah’s own budget is a different ledger. Mixing it with the 842 awards 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 $243,930,793.08. Sharing a geography with Department of Justice does not mean FEC donations funded these awards.

Citing Department of Justice in Utah

Cite USAspending.gov: Department of Justice (agency 015) obligated $243,930,793.08 on 842 awards coded to Utah. Name both sides. Keep “obligations.” Do not relabel the total as named defendants, case dockets, or prison-population counts.

Prefer Department of Justice in Utah if the overlay has refreshed after an ingest. Utah federal spending still includes every other awarding agency tagged to UT. Department of Justice is the 015 parent without the UT filter. All spending ties indexes other pairs. Do not add those parents into $243,930,793.08.

A usable footnote names Department of Justice, Utah, $243,930,793.08, and 842. The compact headline $243.9M is that same dollar total rounded. It is not a second extract. The implied mean near $289,704.03 is $243,930,793.08 divided by 842. Means are not medians. USAspending.gov remains the originating system.

Justice dollars without a docket roster

Utah’s DOJ overlay is 842 awards totaling $243,930,793.08. Named defendants, case dockets, and prison-population counts stay unpublished. Do not invent contractor or defendant names. Adding parent hubs into $243,930,793.08 would invent a combined Utah total. Keep 015 × UT as the pair. No fiscal year is published in this packet. Keep the obligation label on $243,930,793.08. Unique recipients stay unpublished. FEC filings are a different dataset.
