Labor obligations coded to Texas 35th District (TX-35)
The pair on this overlay is Department of Labor inside Texas 35th District (TX-35) place of performance. $294,518,268.33 is that obligation rollup. It is not Texas's complete federal inflow, not Department of Labor nationwide, and not cash already paid. Texas 35th District and Department of Labor are parents, not addends. Correlation is not causation.
10 is an award-action count. Modifications and delivery orders can add rows. Unique vendors are unpublished. Dividing $294,518,268.33 by 10 yields about $29,451,826.83 per award, a ratio of two packet facts, not a typical invoice. Campaign-finance tables do not fund these obligations. 10 awards is a small action file, not a roster of 10 unique vendors. A few large instruments can dominate the dollar cell.
Department of Labor as awarding agency 1601
Agency 1601 is stored as Department of Labor. The awarding-agency field does not name administrations, workforce boards, or vendors. This packet lists none of them. Ten awards is a thin file, not a roster of ten named recipients. Confusing this join with Texas statewide Labor totals or another Texas district's Labor cell would be a different overlay. Packet facts on the agency side are the name Department of Labor, code 1601, and the join dollars $294,518,268.33. Any other recipient or installation list would be invented.
Department of Labor drops the district filter. Other districts with Department of Labor awards are other ties. This page quotes only Texas 35th District (TX-35). A small row count makes a named-facility story tempting; the packet still does not name facilities or contractors. Do not rank TX-35 as a Labor winner. FEC donations do not fund these obligations.
Texas 35th District (TX-35) as place of performance
Texas 35th District (TX-35) is a congressional place-of-performance code, not a labor-market area and not a claim that every dollar stayed inside that map. Other Texas districts are other joins. Place of performance TX-35 is a geography field in the award file. It does not prove residency of workers or vendors. Texas federal spending is the statewide parent and includes other districts.
The district's all-agency obligation total is $4,538,296,439.74. $294,518,268.33 is the Department of Labor slice of that book, about 6.5%. Remaining district dollars sit with other awarding agencies on Texas 35th District, not inside this join. District 90/98 multi and non-voting placeholders are omitted from this harvest by design.
Ten award rows against a concentrated dollar cell
10 awards against $294,518,268.33 implies about $29,451,826.83 per award. That mean is not a unit price and not a jobs figure. With 10 rows, a few large instruments can dominate. Treat the count as records in an aggregate, not as 10 finished projects. All spending ties lists other pairs. Do not annualize without a year field in the packet. Do not per-capita or per-recipient the dollar total; those denominators are unpublished.
What the Labor × TX-35 pair cannot prove
An obligation is a legal commitment. $294,518,268.33 is that kind of sum for Department of Labor inside TX-35 coding. Later deobligations, recoveries, or payment schedules can change what leaves the Treasury without this join rewriting itself into a cash register. This packet has no outlay total and no fiscal-year split. Citing the figure as cash already spent in Texas 35th District (TX-35) over-reads the field. Do not rank Texas 35th District (TX-35) as a winner or loser versus other districts. Keep both sides in the citation: Department of Labor and Texas 35th District (TX-35).
