Department of State (019) federal obligations in Massachusetts

State Department 019 awards tagged to Massachusetts

Department of State as awarding agency, Massachusetts as place-of-performance: 179 records summing to $65,582,137.38. A Department of State award coded outside MA is out. An award in Massachusetts from a different awarding agency is out even if the topic sounds related. Massachusetts (MA) excludes New Hampshire, Vermont, Rhode Island, Connecticut, and New York. A New York-coded award is NY even if a vendor sits in Boston. Awarding agency 019 is the published State key on this cell. Other Treasury-style or State-style codes are other joins.

One hundred seventy-nine records against $65,582,137.38 is a thin State Department file on awarding-agency 019, not a second Massachusetts State extract. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not read 179 as 179 unique posts, named missions, or unique contractors. The overlay Department of State in Massachusetts is the both-keys table. Massachusetts federal spending is the all-agency state hub. Department of State is the agency book without an MA filter. All spending ties lists other joins. Agency code 019 is the disambiguator on this duplicate slug. Do not merge it with a different State code in another Massachusetts join. Named contractors are unpublished. Correlation is not causation: Massachusetts did not cause $65,582,137.38 by existing as a large or small place. Population and outcome scores are not packet facts. The join is 019 × MA only.

Not embassies, named posts, or unique contractors

$65,582,137.38 does not measure unique posts, named missions, or unique contractors. Those series are not USAspending fields on this aggregate. The cell sums award obligations with awarding-agency code 019 and an MA place-of-performance tag. Awarding agency 019 is the published State key on this cell. Other Treasury-style or State-style codes are other joins.

Do not treat 179 awards as a census of unique posts, named missions, or unique contractors. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If Massachusetts federal spending or Department of State matched $65,582,137.38 and 179, the join would be pointless. Use the overlay when both keys must stay on. New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Connecticut State Department joins are other pairs, not addends. Keep 019 in the citation so this $65,582,137.38 is not mixed with another Massachusetts State slug.

Massachusetts statewide, not a Boston-only map

Place of performance MA is a geography tag on the award, not a metro list and not a commuting zone. Massachusetts (MA) excludes New Hampshire, Vermont, Rhode Island, Connecticut, and New York. A New York-coded award is NY even if a vendor sits in Boston. Recipient address can differ from that state tag. Boston, Cambridge, Worcester, and the rest of the counties share one MA stamp.

Agency code 019 is the disambiguator on this duplicate slug. Do not merge it with a different State code in another Massachusetts join. Named contractors are unpublished. This packet does not split $65,582,137.38 by city, county, or named facility. 179 awards stay statewide. A county table would be a different extract. FEC donation tables do not fund these USAspending obligations.

Agency 019 versus any other State code

Even a thick or thin file records obligations, not necessarily outlays. $65,582,137.38 can include amounts that pay on a later schedule. Citing it as cash already sent in Massachusetts confuses two concepts. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total.

Massachusetts’s own budget is a different ledger. Mixing it with the 179-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 $65,582,137.38. Keep 019 in the citation so this $65,582,137.38 is not mixed with another Massachusetts State slug.

Citing State 019 in Massachusetts

Cite USAspending.gov: Department of State (agency 019) obligated $65,582,137.38 on 179 awards coded to Massachusetts. Name both sides. Keep “obligations.” Do not relabel the total as unique posts, named missions, or unique contractors. The pair is Department of State agency 019 plus Massachusetts, not a Cambridge contractor ranking.

Prefer Department of State in Massachusetts if the overlay has refreshed after an ingest. Massachusetts federal spending still includes every other awarding agency tagged to MA. Department of State is the 019 parent without the MA filter. All spending ties indexes other pairs. Do not add those parents into $65,582,137.38. A usable footnote names Department of State, Massachusetts, $65,582,137.38, and 179. The compact headline $65.6 million is that same dollar total rounded. It is not a second extract. The implied mean near $366,381 is $65,582,137.38 divided by 179. Means are not medians. USAspending.gov remains the originating system.
