Department of State obligations in North Carolina 8th District (NC-08)

State obligations coded to North Carolina 8th District (NC-08)

Awarding agency 019 and congressional district NC-08 meet here. $179,040,540.09 is the USAspending.gov obligation sum on awards that carry both tags. It is not Department of State’s nationwide total, not every federal dollar coded to North Carolina 8th District (NC-08), and not an outlay register. The packet does not split State bureaus or contract versus assistance instruments. 9 is an action count: modifications and repeat awards add rows. Unique recipients are unpublished. It is not a diplomatic-post census, a passport total, or a named-contractor file.

Dividing $179,040,540.09 by 9 yields about $19,893,393.34 per award on average. That ratio is two packet facts. It is not a typical contract, grant, or benefit line. Nine awards against a one-hundred-seventy-nine-million-dollar State cell is an extreme concentration of rows. Do not read 9 as nine unique vendors; the packet does not publish recipient identity. Do not treat NC-08’s 019 cell as a synonym for every State account nationwide. Open North Carolina 8th District for the district table without this agency filter, Department of State for agency 019 without the NC-08 filter, North Carolina federal spending for every awarding agency in the North Carolina extract, and All spending ties for the rest of the join list. Quote those hubs as parents, not as addends to $179,040,540.09.

What State contributes to this pair

USAspending labels awarding agency 019 as Department of State. That code produced $179,040,540.09 when crossed with North Carolina 8th District (NC-08) place of performance. The agency-wide 019 hub does not require NC-08 geography. The district hub does not require State. Only this tie applies both filters, which is why it cites 9 awards. The packet does not split State bureaus or contract versus assistance instruments.

Correlation is not causation: North Carolina 8th District (NC-08) did not “cause” $179,040,540.09 by existing as a large or small place. Population, outcome scores, and named facilities are not packet facts. The join is 019 × NC-08 only. It is not a diplomatic-post census, a passport total, or a named-contractor file. Do not invent contractors or award recipients to fill the gap. Campaign donations on FEC tables do not fund this USAspending cell; the datasets are separate.

District geography versus North Carolina statewide totals

North Carolina 8th District (NC-08) on this join is a USAspending geography field, not a claim that every dollar was disbursed to residents of that district. Awards can list NC-08 while later work occurs elsewhere. Awards tagged to other North Carolina districts belong on those ties even when the awarding agency is also 019. North Carolina 8th District (NC-08) is a numbered congressional place-of-performance code inside North Carolina. Other North Carolina districts are separate joins even when they reuse awarding-agency 019. North Carolina 8th District (NC-08) is a numbered place-of-performance code inside North Carolina. Place of performance here is a domestic district stamp, not a foreign-post ledger.

North Carolina federal spending shows how agency 019 sits beside other awarding agencies in the same state extract. $179,040,540.09 is one district-agency column, not the state table. This packet does not split North Carolina 8th District (NC-08) by county, city, or census tract. Awards that carry a different awarding-agency code stay on those other ties even if the work sounds related to Department of State. The district-wide obligation total published here is $4,097,998,884.34; $179,040,540.09 is the State slice of that denominator.

Why this is not an outlay register

USAspending.gov records an obligation when the federal government commits funds on an award. $179,040,540.09 is that kind of sum for Department of State inside NC-08 coding. Later deobligations, recoveries, or payment schedules can change what leaves the Treasury without this join rewriting itself into a cash register. Assistance and contract awards can share the same awarding-agency rollup; this packet does not split them. Net obligations can include downward adjustments. This page reports $179,040,540.09 as given.

North Carolina’s own budget is a separate ledger. Mixing it with the 9-row State cell leaves USAspending.gov. Treat 9 as award records in the aggregate, not unique vendors. Do not annualize without a year field in the packet. Do not per-capita or per-recipient the dollar total; those denominators are unpublished. The implied mean ($19,893,393.34) is a concentration statistic, not a typical NC-08 State payment.

Keep Department of State, North Carolina 8th District (NC-08), $179,040,540.09, and 9 awards together. All spending ties indexes other pairs. Department of State is the 019 parent without a NC-08 filter. North Carolina federal spending is the North Carolina parent. Do not add those parents to this cell. Sharing a district with State does not mean campaign donations funded these awards, and it does not convert obligations into outlays. This page reports one USAspending join.

What this packet refuses to infer

Nine awards against a one-hundred-seventy-nine-million-dollar State cell is an extreme concentration of rows. Do not read 9 as nine unique vendors; the packet does not publish recipient identity. A large row count makes a program split tempting; the packet still does not supply one. A small row count makes a named-facility story tempting; the packet still does not name facilities or contractors. The implied mean (about $19,893,393.34) and the district share (4.4% of $4,097,998,884.34) are ratios of packet facts. Prefer North Carolina 8th District and Department of State if the live tables moved.
