Nineteen State awards tagged to Arkansas

Department of State as awarding agency, Arkansas as place-of-performance: 19 records summing to $468,757,819.67. A Department of State award coded outside AR is out. An award in Arkansas from a different awarding agency is out even if the topic sounds related. Arkansas (AR) excludes Missouri, Tennessee, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas, and Oklahoma. Place of performance is AR, not a regional diplomatic zone.

Nineteen awards against $468,757,819.67 is among the thinnest State files in this slice. The implied mean is large and easy to misread as a typical grant. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not read 19 as 19 unique passport offices, foreign-service billets, or named posts. The overlay Department of State in Arkansas is the both-keys table. Arkansas federal spending is the all-agency state hub. Department of State is the agency book without an AR filter. All spending ties lists other joins.

Little Rock is not a published metro share. Do not treat 19 rows as 19 unique diplomatic missions. Correlation is not causation: Arkansas did not “cause” $468,757,819.67 by existing as a large or small place. Population and outcome scores are not packet facts. The join is 019 × AR only.

Not a Little Rock post census

$468,757,819.67 does not measure passport offices, foreign-service billets, or named posts. Those series are not USAspending fields on this aggregate. The cell sums award obligations with awarding-agency code 019 and an AR place-of-performance tag.

Do not treat 19 awards as a census of passport offices, foreign-service billets, or named posts. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If Arkansas federal spending or Department of State matched $468,757,819.67 and 19, the join would be pointless. Use the overlay when both keys must stay on. Missouri, Tennessee, and Oklahoma State joins are other pairs, not addends.

Arkansas statewide, not a Delta map

Place of performance AR is a geography tag on the award, not a metro list and not a commuting zone. Arkansas (AR) excludes Missouri, Tennessee, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas, and Oklahoma. Place of performance is AR, not a regional diplomatic zone. Recipient address can differ from that state tag.

Little Rock is not a published metro share. Do not treat 19 rows as 19 unique diplomatic missions. This packet does not split $468,757,819.67 by city, county, or named facility. 19 awards stay statewide. A county table would be a different extract.

Few rows, still commitments

Even a thick or thin file records obligations, not necessarily outlays. $468,757,819.67 can include amounts that pay on a later schedule. Citing it as cash already sent in Arkansas confuses two concepts. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total.

Arkansas’s own budget is a different ledger. Mixing it with the 19-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 $468,757,819.67. Sharing a state with State Dept does not mean campaign donations funded these awards.

Citing State in Arkansas

Cite USAspending.gov: Department of State (agency 019) obligated $468,757,819.67 on 19 awards coded to Arkansas. Name both sides. Keep “obligations.” Do not relabel the total as passport offices, foreign-service billets, or named posts.

Prefer Department of State in Arkansas if the overlay has refreshed after an ingest. Arkansas federal spending still includes every other awarding agency tagged to AR. Department of State is the 019 parent without the AR filter. All spending ties indexes other pairs. Do not add those parents into $468,757,819.67.

A usable footnote names Department of State, Arkansas, $468,757,819.67, and 19. The compact headline $468.8 million is that same dollar total rounded. It is not a second extract. The implied mean near $24.67 million is $468,757,819.67 divided by 19. Means are not medians. USAspending.gov remains the originating system.
