Department of State federal obligations in Nebraska

Forty-two State awards tagged to Nebraska

Department of State as awarding agency, Nebraska as place-of-performance: 42 records summing to $256,114,401.25. A Department of State award coded outside NE is out. An award in Nebraska from a different awarding agency is out even if the topic sounds related. Nebraska (NE) excludes Iowa, Kansas, South Dakota, Wyoming, Colorado, and Missouri. Place of performance is NE, not a Plains diplomatic region.

Forty-two awards against $256,114,401.25 is a thin State file. Few rows pull the implied mean up; that mean is not a typical grant. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not read 42 as 42 unique passport issuances, unique posts, or foreign-service billets. The overlay Department of State in Nebraska is the both-keys table. Nebraska federal spending is the all-agency state hub. Department of State is the agency book without an NE filter. All spending ties lists other joins.

Omaha and Lincoln are unpublished. Do not assign $256,114,401.25 to a named campus. Correlation is not causation: Nebraska did not “cause” $256,114,401.25 by existing as a large or small place. Population and outcome scores are not packet facts. The join is 019 × NE only.

Not an Omaha consular census

$256,114,401.25 does not measure passport issuances, unique posts, or foreign-service billets. Those series are not USAspending fields on this aggregate. The cell sums award obligations with awarding-agency code 019 and an NE place-of-performance tag.

Do not treat 42 awards as a census of passport issuances, unique posts, or foreign-service billets. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If Nebraska federal spending or Department of State matched $256,114,401.25 and 42, the join would be pointless. Use the overlay when both keys must stay on. Iowa, Kansas, and Missouri State joins are other pairs, not addends.

Nebraska statewide, not a two-city map

Place of performance NE is a geography tag on the award, not a metro list and not a commuting zone. Nebraska (NE) excludes Iowa, Kansas, South Dakota, Wyoming, Colorado, and Missouri. Place of performance is NE, not a Plains diplomatic region. Recipient address can differ from that state tag.

Omaha and Lincoln are unpublished. Do not assign $256,114,401.25 to a named campus. This packet does not split $256,114,401.25 by city, county, or named facility. 42 awards stay statewide. A county table would be a different extract.

Thin diplomatic file, still obligations

Even a thick or thin file records obligations, not necessarily outlays. $256,114,401.25 can include amounts that pay on a later schedule. Citing it as cash already sent in Nebraska confuses two concepts. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total.

Nebraska’s own budget is a different ledger. Mixing it with the 42-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 $256,114,401.25. Sharing a state with State Dept does not mean campaign donations funded these awards.

Citing State in Nebraska

Cite USAspending.gov: Department of State (agency 019) obligated $256,114,401.25 on 42 awards coded to Nebraska. Name both sides. Keep “obligations.” Do not relabel the total as passport issuances, unique posts, or foreign-service billets.

Prefer Department of State in Nebraska if the overlay has refreshed after an ingest. Nebraska federal spending still includes every other awarding agency tagged to NE. Department of State is the 019 parent without the NE filter. All spending ties indexes other pairs. Do not add those parents into $256,114,401.25.

A usable footnote names Department of State, Nebraska, $256,114,401.25, and 42. The compact headline $256.1 million is that same dollar total rounded. It is not a second extract. The implied mean near $6.10 million is $256,114,401.25 divided by 42. Means are not medians. USAspending.gov remains the originating system.

Questions

How much has the Department of State obligated in Nebraska?

USAspending.gov records $256,114,401.25 across 42 awards with awarding agency 019 and a Nebraska tag. That is an obligation join, not an outlay and not a count of passport issuances, unique posts, or foreign-service billets. Department of State in Nebraska is the live overlay for this pair. Keep both keys when quoting $256,114,401.25.

Is $256,114,401.25 a measure of passport issuances, unique posts, or foreign-service billets?

No. The packet publishes $256,114,401.25 and 42 awards for agency 019 inside NE coding. Those other series are unpublished here. Unique recipients are unpublished. Quote the dollar total and the award count together. Obligations are not outlays.

Why does this State Dept file have 42 awards?

That is the award-record count for 019 × NE. Combined with $256,114,401.25, the average is about $6.10 million. Modifications and repeat instruments add rows. 42 is not unique passport issuances, unique posts, or foreign-service billets. Later ingests can revise the count.
