Department of State (agency 019) federal obligations in the District of Columbia

Two State Department codes, two District cells

SpendingVault stores awarding agency by code. This tie uses 019 and overlay /states/dc/agencies/019/. Another District page uses 072 and a different overlay. Both English labels say Department of State. The dollars, award counts, and URLs do not match. Merging $13,336,955,209.34 with the 072 total would double-count or mis-count depending on how the source maps the codes.

Fourteen thousand eight hundred seventy-six awards under $13,336,955,209.34 produces a mean near $896,542. That mean belongs to code 019 only. It still does not identify which components or instruments sit in each State Department-labeled code.

Agency 019’s 14,876 District awards are the high-count counterpart to other State Department-labeled overlays that use different codes. High count does not mean 019 is the “real” State Department and another code is a duplicate. USAspending’s toptier mapping is the reason both exist. $13,336,955,209.34 belongs only to 019 and DC.

Agency 019 as the awarding side

The Department of State hub linked from this page is /agencies/019/. Virginia also has an agency 019 cell. Those are different geographies on the same code. The District 019 cell is only the DC geography: $13,336,955,209.34 and 14,876 awards.

Readers comparing 019 with 072 should keep the overlay paths straight. Shared branding in the agency name is not a license to add the two District totals together without checking how USAspending assigns toptier codes.

District place of performance

DC geography on 14,876 awards is a high row count for a capital slice. Headquarters-adjacent procurement and assistance can generate many records. The $13,336,955,209.34 sum still does not equal every diplomatic dollar worldwide, and it does not equal the District’s all-agency federal total.

District of Columbia federal spending is the parent hub. Agency 019 is one awarding agency there, alongside 072, 070, 047, and others that have their own DC ties.

Diplomatic work discussed in Washington is not the same set as DC place of performance. Overseas-coded awards stay off this page. Administrative awards listed to the District stay on it. The 14,876-row count reflects that tagging, not a headcount of Foreign Service officers stationed in the capital.

A lower mean on a higher count

About $896,542 per award means this cell is less concentrated than the 072 District pair. Many modest records can coexist with a still-large dollar total. The facts supply no median and no award-type split, so the mean is the only derived concentration statistic.

Obligations are not outlays. No fiscal year is attached. Citing $13,336,955,209.34 as a single-year State Department outlay in the District would over-read the aggregate.

What this pair is not

The join does not evaluate foreign policy and does not claim these dollars funded a named overseas mission. Place of performance is DC, which often tracks administrative awards rather than every overseas post. Campaign contributions are not part of the table.

See Department of State in District of Columbia for the 019 overlay, District of Columbia federal spending, Department of State for agency 019, and All spending ties.

Fourteen thousand eight hundred seventy-six awards under $13,336,955,209.34 is a high-count District cell for this department label. High count, lower mean is arithmetic, not a finding that 019 awards are “smaller in importance” than another code’s awards. The two codes remain separate overlays. This page only owns 019’s 14,876 rows.

Keeping 019 distinct in the District

Department of State in District of Columbia — the 019 overlay — is the live table for $13,336,955,209.34. District of Columbia federal spending is all agencies. Department of State at /agencies/019/ is the national 019 hub. All spending ties indexes other pairs. A second District page uses a different State Department code; do not add the two totals without an overlap rule the facts do not provide.

Place of performance DC on 14,876 records often tracks administrative and support awards listed to the capital. That does not locate every overseas post. The mean near $896,542 is a quotient of this packet’s two numbers only. Outlays are unreported. No fiscal year is attached. The join is not a foreign-policy evaluation and not a campaign-finance story.

Questions

How much has State Department agency 019 obligated in DC?

USAspending records $13,336,955,209.34 in agency 019 obligations with District of Columbia place of performance, across 14,876 awards. That is a different cell from agency 072’s District total.

Should I add the 019 and 072 District totals together?

Not from this page. They are separate awarding-agency codes with separate overlays (019 and 072). Adding $13,336,955,209.34 to the 072 figure would assume the codes never overlap and that both belong in one department total — an assumption the facts do not settle.

Why are there more awards here than on the other State–DC page?

This filter has 14,876 awards. The 072 District filter uses a different code and a different award count. More rows here produce a lower mean of about $896,542.

Is this the State Department’s worldwide spending?

No. Only DC place of performance and agency 019 enter $13,336,955,209.34. Other states and other agency codes sit on other pages.
