Department of State (072) federal obligations in Connecticut

Awarding-agency 072 on Connecticut

Department of State as awarding agency, Connecticut as place-of-performance: 18 records summing to $105,833,155.45. A Department of State award coded outside CT is out. An award in Connecticut from a different awarding agency is out even if the topic sounds related. Connecticut (CT) excludes New York, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island. A Hartford-coded award with a New York place-of-performance tag is a different cell.

18 awards against $105,833,155.45 is an 18-award foreign-affairs file, not a typical assistance catalog. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not read 18 as 18 unique consular appointments, named missions, or diplomatic-security headcount. Department of State in Connecticut is the both-keys table. Connecticut federal spending is the all-agency state hub. Department of State is the agency book without an CT filter. All spending ties lists other joins.

Code 072 is the awarding-agency key here. Do not fold it into a 019 overlay from another state. Correlation is not causation: Connecticut did not cause $105,833,155.45 by existing as a large or small place. Population and outcome scores are not packet facts. The join is 072 × CT only.

Eighteen rows are not eighteen posts

$105,833,155.45 does not measure consular appointments, named missions, or diplomatic-security headcount. Those series are not USAspending fields on this aggregate. The cell sums award obligations with awarding-agency code 072 and an CT place-of-performance tag.

Do not treat 18 awards as a census of consular appointments, named missions, or diplomatic-security headcount. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If Connecticut federal spending or Department of State matched $105,833,155.45 and 18, 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.

Connecticut, not a Gold Coast-only map

Place of performance CT is a geography tag on the award, not a metro list and not a commuting zone. Connecticut (CT) excludes New York, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island. A Hartford-coded award with a New York place-of-performance tag is a different cell. Recipient address can differ from that state tag.

This packet does not split $105,833,155.45 by city, county, or named facility. 18 awards stay statewide. A county table would be a different extract. Campaign-finance filings do not fund these USAspending obligations.

Obligations without an invented fiscal year

Even a thick or thin file records obligations, not necessarily outlays. $105,833,155.45 can include amounts that pay on a later schedule. Citing it as cash already sent in Connecticut confuses two concepts. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total.

Connecticut’s own budget is a different ledger. Mixing it with the 18 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 $105,833,155.45. Sharing a geography with Department of State does not mean FEC donations funded these awards.

Citing Department of State in Connecticut

Cite USAspending.gov: Department of State (agency 072) obligated $105,833,155.45 on 18 awards coded to Connecticut. Name both sides. Keep “obligations.” Do not relabel the total as consular appointments, named missions, or diplomatic-security headcount.

Prefer Department of State in Connecticut if the overlay has refreshed after an ingest. Connecticut federal spending still includes every other awarding agency tagged to CT. Department of State is the 072 parent without the CT filter. All spending ties indexes other pairs. Do not add those parents into $105,833,155.45.

A usable footnote names Department of State, Connecticut, $105,833,155.45, and 18. The compact headline $105.8M is that same dollar total rounded. It is not a second extract. The implied mean near $5,879,619.75 is $105,833,155.45 divided by 18. Means are not medians. USAspending.gov remains the originating system.

Eighteen awards on awarding-agency 072

Connecticut’s Department of State overlay is not a Gold Coast consular budget. Code 072 is the key. Rhode Island and Indiana State Department pages in this slice also use 072; they remain other state tags, not addends to $105,833,155.45.
