Department of Justice federal obligations in Wyoming
Two filters produce one cell: Department of Justice as awarding agency 015 and Wyoming as geography. USAspending.gov publishes $51,964,428.03 and 175 awards for that pair. Neither filter alone is the number on this page. 175 awards against $51,964,428.03 is a mid-size award list rather than a mass-action file. The implied mean is about $296,939.59 per award — a quotient of two packet facts, not a typical invoice. USAspending.gov is the source. Amounts are obligations, not outlays.
Key figures

- 175 records, about $296,939.59 each as a mean.

- No contractor names in this packet; geography is statewide Wyoming.
Both keys, one total: 015 and WY
Drop the Wyoming filter and $51,964,428.03 is no longer this page. Drop the Department of Justice filter and $51,964,428.03 is no longer this page. The join is the product of both keys on USAspending.gov. A Department of Justice award coded outside WY is out. An award in Wyoming from a different awarding agency is out even if the topic sounds related. Wyoming (WY) excludes Colorado, Montana, Idaho, Utah, South Dakota, and Nebraska.
175 award actions sit under $51,964,428.03. That count is a mid-size award list rather than a mass-action file. It is not a roster of grantees. Treating the cell as a prosecutor-office census or a named-grantee list over-reads the extract. Unique recipients are unpublished. Modifications can add rows without adding new vendors.

A mean of $296,939.59 without a distribution
Arithmetic is allowed: $51,964,428.03 ÷ 175 ≈ $296,939.59. Interpretation as a typical Justice award is not allowed, because the packet has no median, no quartiles, and no award-type split. The 175 figure is not a count of distinct programs.
Cheyenne, casper, and jackson may be reader landmarks, not published subtotals. Wyoming is statewide; the packet does not split Cheyenne from the rest of the state. Those place names are folklore paths for search, unused as math.
Wyoming federal spending is the wider state book
Wyoming federal spending includes every awarding agency tagged to Wyoming. Department of Justice includes every geography tagged to Department of Justice. Department of Justice in Wyoming is the overlap that produced $51,964,428.03.
Sibling overlays for agency 015 in other states are not remainders of this cell. This packet has no national Justice total to subtract from. Do not subtract $51,964,428.03 from Department of Justice and call the difference 'Wyoming versus everywhere else' without a published national total in this packet — there is none.
What the source note actually says
USAspending.gov aggregate of federal obligations by state and awarding agency. Obligations are not outlays. That sentence is the unit rule for every reuse of this page.
No fiscal year is in the facts. Inventing one would be a packet violation. Keep $51,964,428.03 unlabeled by FY until a later extract supplies one. Citing $51,964,428.03 as cash already sent in Wyoming confuses obligations with outlays.
Wyoming outcomes are not proven by $51,964,428.03
Correlation is not causation. $51,964,428.03 does not prove that Department of Justice activity caused Wyoming economic results, and Wyoming results do not prove why the cell equals $51,964,428.03.
FEC donations do not fund this USAspending cell. Keep campaign-finance files on their own site. Keep $51,964,428.03 on USAspending.gov. Population and outcome scores are not packet facts.
Verify $51,964,428.03 on the live overlay

Place-of-performance Wyoming is statewide; Wyoming is statewide; the packet does not split Cheyenne from the rest of the state. Neighbor-coded activity in Colorado, Montana, Idaho, Utah, South Dakota, and Nebraska stays out. Correlation is not causation. Treating the join as a prosecutor-office census or a named-grantee list is labeled folklore here because the packet has no NAICS, CFDA, or program column. Cheyenne, casper, and jackson 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. Wyoming's $51,964,428.03 cell stands alone. Department of Justice is the awarding-agency label stored on the Wyoming 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 $51,964,428.03. The 175 figure is not a count of grantees and is not a count of distinct programs. That is another reason the mean of about $296,939.59 is not a typical Justice award. Original filings remain on USAspending.gov. This file copies overlayTarget /states/wy/agencies/015/ and canonicalPath /ties/department-of-justice-in-wyoming/ from the packet. It does not add a fiscal year, a contractor, or an FEC dollar. If the live overlay later disagrees with $51,964,428.03 or 175, trust the table and treat this prose as dated to the extract. Until then, the reusable facts are $51,964,428.03, 175 awards, agency 015, Department of Justice, Wyoming (WY), and the obligation unit. All spending ties is an index of joins, not a hidden total that already includes $51,964,428.03. Department of Justice in Wyoming remains the place to verify the live rows. Repeat the pair before any reuse: Department of Justice in Wyoming. Repeat the source: USAspending.gov. Repeat the unit: obligations, not outlays. The overlay path /states/wy/agencies/015/ and the canonical path /ties/department-of-justice-in-wyoming/ describe the same join. Internal links stay limited to the four packet hrefs. No other URL is added. No recipient, contractor, or donor name is invented to fill space. The facts remain the dollar total, the award count, the agency code, the agency name, the state name, and the state code.
