Department of State federal obligations in Arizona

A thicker 019 file on an Arizona tag

Department of State as awarding agency, Arizona as place-of-performance: 322 records summing to $159,562,107.42. A Department of State award coded outside AZ is out. An award in Arizona from a different awarding agency is out even if the topic sounds related. Arizona (AZ) excludes California, Nevada, New Mexico, Utah, and Colorado. A San Diego-coded award is California even if the work sits on the same desert.

Three hundred twenty-two awards against $159,562,107.42 is thicker than Washington’s 93-row 019 cell: more actions, still a record count rather than unique vendors. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not read 322 as 322 unique visa counts, unique border posts, or named consular offices. Department of State in Arizona is the both-keys table. Arizona federal spending is the all-agency state hub. Department of State is the agency book without an AZ filter. All spending ties lists other joins.

Border-post folklore is unpublished

$159,562,107.42 does not measure visa counts, unique border posts, or named consular offices. Those series are not USAspending fields on this aggregate. The cell sums award obligations with awarding-agency code 019 and an AZ place-of-performance tag.

Do not treat 322 awards as a census of visa counts, unique border posts, or named consular offices. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If Arizona federal spending or Department of State matched $159,562,107.42 and 322, the join would be pointless. Use the overlay when both keys must stay on. California, New Mexico, and Nevada State Dept 019 joins are other pairs, not addends.

Arizona statewide, not a two-city split

Place of performance AZ is a geography tag on the award, not a metro list and not a commuting zone. Arizona (AZ) excludes California, Nevada, New Mexico, Utah, and Colorado. A San Diego-coded award is California even if the work sits on the same desert. Recipient address can differ from that state tag.

This packet does not split $159,562,107.42 by city, county, or named facility. 322 awards stay statewide. A county table would be a different extract. Campaign-finance filings do not fund these USAspending obligations.

Three hundred twenty-two rows still mean commitments

Even a thick or thin file records obligations, not necessarily outlays. $159,562,107.42 can include amounts that pay on a later schedule. Citing it as cash already sent in Arizona confuses two concepts. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total.

How to cite State Dept in Arizona

Cite USAspending.gov: Department of State (agency 019) obligated $159,562,107.42 on 322 awards coded to Arizona. Name both sides. Keep “obligations.” Do not relabel the total as visa counts, unique border posts, or named consular offices.

Prefer Department of State in Arizona if the overlay has refreshed after an ingest. Arizona federal spending still includes every other awarding agency tagged to AZ. Department of State is the 019 parent without the AZ filter. All spending ties indexes other pairs. Do not add those parents into $159,562,107.42.

A usable footnote names Department of State, Arizona, $159,562,107.42, and 322. The compact headline $159.6M is that same dollar total rounded. It is not a second extract. The implied mean near $495,534 is $159,562,107.42 divided by 322. Means are not medians. USAspending.gov remains the originating system. Post names, passport volumes, and vendor identities are unpublished on this packet.

What State Dept × Arizona is not

The pair is Department of State and Arizona, not visa counts, unique border posts, or named consular offices. Post names, passport volumes, and vendor identities are unpublished on this packet. FEC contribution tables are a different public-record system; donations do not fund these USAspending obligations even when they share a geography. Keep the citation narrow: agency 019, place-of-performance AZ, $159,562,107.42, 322 awards, obligations only.

Three hundred twenty-two awards against $159,562,107.42 is thicker than Washington’s 93-row 019 cell: more actions, still a record count rather than unique vendors. On this join the implied mean near $495,534 should not be treated as a typical award size. Without a distribution, $159,562,107.42 can be dominated by a few rows even when 322 is large, or by those same few rows when 322 is small. This page will not pretend to know which pattern holds. It keeps repeating the two facts and the two keys: Department of State (019) and Arizona (AZ). Place of performance still does not mean every dollar was disbursed locally. Obligations still do not mean outlays. Phoenix, Tucson, and the border share one AZ stamp. Do not invent a named post or contractor. This overlay uses awarding-agency 019, not 072. Post names, passport volumes, and vendor identities are unpublished on this packet.
