Department of State (072) federal obligations in California

Awarding-agency 072 meeting California

Department of State as awarding agency, California as place-of-performance: 79 awards summing to $515,703,424.91. A Department of State award coded outside CA is out. An award in California from a different awarding agency is out even if the topic sounds related. California (CA) excludes Oregon, Nevada, and Arizona. A San Diego-coded award with an Arizona place-of-performance tag is a different cell.

79 awards against $515,703,424.91 is a 79-award foreign-affairs file, thin against a large dollar total. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not read 79 as 79 unique visa counts, passport volumes, or named overseas posts. Department of State in California is the both-keys table. California federal spending is the all-agency state hub. Department of State is the agency book without a CA filter. All spending ties lists other joins.

This slug is the California × agency-072 duplicate. Code 072 is the disambiguator. Shared display names do not merge 072 with 019. Unique posts are unpublished. Do not invent them. Correlation is not causation: California did not cause $515,703,424.91 by existing as a large or small place. Population and outcome scores are not packet facts. The join is 072 × CA only.

Department of State 072 is not code 019

$515,703,424.91 does not measure visa counts, passport volumes, or named overseas posts. Those series are not USAspending fields on this aggregate. The cell sums award obligations with awarding-agency code 072 and an CA place-of-performance tag.

Do not treat 79 awards as a census of visa counts, passport volumes, or named overseas posts. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If California federal spending or Department of State matched $515,703,424.91 and 79, the join would be pointless. Use the overlay when both keys must stay on. Neighboring-state State Dept 072 joins are other pairs, not addends.

California, not a coastal-only map

Place of performance CA is a geography tag on the award, not a metro list and not a commuting zone. California (CA) excludes Oregon, Nevada, and Arizona. A San Diego-coded award with an Arizona place-of-performance tag is a different cell. Recipient address can differ from that state tag.

This packet does not split $515,703,424.91 by city, county, or named facility. 79 awards stay statewide. A county table would be a different extract. Campaign-finance filings do not fund these USAspending obligations.

Seventy-nine obligations

Even a thick or thin file records obligations, not necessarily outlays. $515,703,424.91 can include amounts that pay on a later schedule. Citing it as cash already sent in California confuses two concepts. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total.

California’s own budget is a different ledger. Mixing it with the 79 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 $515,703,424.91.

Citing Department of State 072 in California

Cite USAspending.gov: Department of State (agency 072) obligated $515,703,424.91 on 79 awards coded to California. Name both sides. Keep “obligations.” Do not relabel the total as visa counts, passport volumes, or named overseas posts.

Prefer Department of State in California if the overlay has refreshed after an ingest. California federal spending still includes every other awarding agency tagged to CA. Department of State is the 072 parent without the CA filter. All spending ties indexes other pairs. Do not add those parents into $515,703,424.91.

A usable footnote names Department of State, California, $515,703,424.91, and 79. The compact headline $515.7M is that same dollar total rounded. It is not a second extract. The implied mean near $6,527,891.45 is $515,703,424.91 divided by 79. Means are not medians. USAspending.gov remains the originating system.
