Department of State federal obligations in New Mexico

Two filters produce one cell: Department of State as awarding agency 019 and New Mexico as geography. USAspending.gov publishes $51,863,449.71 and 37 awards for that pair. Neither filter alone is the number on this page. 37 awards against $51,863,449.71 is a thin award file: thirty-seven rows, so the mean is large and easy to misread as a typical invoice. The implied mean is about $1.40 million per award — a quotient of two packet facts, not a typical invoice. USAspending.gov is the source. Amounts are obligations, not outlays.

Key figures

  • USAspending cell: State × New Mexico = $51,863,449.71.
  • 37 records, about $1.40 million each as a mean.
  • Outlays and fiscal-year splits are unpublished here.
  • No fiscal year is in the facts for $51,863,449.71.
  • No contractor names in this packet; geography is statewide New Mexico.

Both keys, one total: 019 and NM

Drop the New Mexico filter and $51,863,449.71 is no longer this page. Drop the Department of State filter and $51,863,449.71 is no longer this page. The join is the product of both keys on USAspending.gov. A Department of State award coded outside NM is out. An award in New Mexico from a different awarding agency is out even if the topic sounds related. New Mexico (NM) excludes Texas, Arizona, Colorado, and Oklahoma.

37 award actions sit under $51,863,449.71. That count is a thin award file: thirty-seven rows, so the mean is large and easy to misread as a typical invoice. It is not a roster of grantees. Treating the cell as a passport-office directory or a diplomatic-post roster over-reads the extract. Unique recipients are unpublished. Modifications can add rows without adding new vendors.

A mean of $1.40 million without a distribution

Arithmetic is allowed: $51,863,449.71 ÷ 37 ≈ $1.40 million. Interpretation as a typical State award is not allowed, because the packet has no median, no quartiles, and no award-type split. The 37 figure is not a count of distinct programs.

Santa fe, albuquerque, and las cruces may be reader landmarks, not published subtotals. New Mexico is statewide; El Paso-coded work stays in Texas even if a vendor sits in southern New Mexico. Those place names are folklore paths for search, unused as math.

New Mexico federal spending is the wider state book

New Mexico federal spending includes every awarding agency tagged to New Mexico. Department of State includes every geography tagged to Department of State. Department of State in New Mexico is the overlap that produced $51,863,449.71.

Sibling overlays for agency 019 in other states are not remainders of this cell. This packet has no national State total to subtract from. Do not subtract $51,863,449.71 from Department of State and call the difference 'New Mexico versus everywhere else' without a published national total in this packet — there is none.

What the source note actually says

USAspending.gov aggregate of federal obligations by state and awarding agency. Obligations are not outlays. That sentence is the unit rule for every reuse of this page.

No fiscal year is in the facts. Inventing one would be a packet violation. Keep $51,863,449.71 unlabeled by FY until a later extract supplies one. Citing $51,863,449.71 as cash already sent in New Mexico confuses obligations with outlays.

New Mexico outcomes are not proven by $51,863,449.71

Correlation is not causation. $51,863,449.71 does not prove that Department of State activity caused New Mexico economic results, and New Mexico results do not prove why the cell equals $51,863,449.71.

FEC donations do not fund this USAspending cell. Keep campaign-finance files on their own site. Keep $51,863,449.71 on USAspending.gov. Population and outcome scores are not packet facts.

Verify $51,863,449.71 on the live overlay

Place-of-performance New Mexico is statewide; New Mexico is statewide; El Paso-coded work stays in Texas even if a vendor sits in southern New Mexico. Neighbor-coded activity in Texas, Arizona, Colorado, and Oklahoma stays out. Correlation is not causation. Treating the join as a passport-office directory or a diplomatic-post roster is labeled folklore here because the packet has no NAICS, CFDA, or program column. Santa fe, albuquerque, and las cruces folklore is the same kind of reader path: useful for search, unused as math. Agency 019 on a different state's overlay is a sibling join, not a remainder that must add to a national State budget on this page. New Mexico's $51,863,449.71 cell stands alone. Department of State is the awarding-agency label stored on the New Mexico overlay; the numeric key is 019. Readers who only remember the short name State still need both the state tag and the agency tag before quoting $51,863,449.71. The 37 figure is not a count of grantees and is not a count of distinct programs. That is another reason the mean of about $1.40 million is not a typical State award. Original filings remain on USAspending.gov. This file copies overlayTarget /states/nm/agencies/019/ and canonicalPath /ties/department-of-state-in-new-mexico/ from the packet. It does not add a fiscal year, a contractor, or an FEC dollar. If the live overlay later disagrees with $51,863,449.71 or 37, trust the table and treat this prose as dated to the extract. Until then, the reusable facts are $51,863,449.71, 37 awards, agency 019, Department of State, New Mexico (NM), and the obligation unit. All spending ties is an index of joins, not a hidden total that already includes $51,863,449.71. Department of State in New Mexico remains the place to verify the live rows. Repeat the pair before any reuse: Department of State in New Mexico. Repeat the source: USAspending.gov. Repeat the unit: obligations, not outlays. The overlay path /states/nm/agencies/019/ and the canonical path /ties/department-of-state-in-new-mexico/ describe the same join. Internal links stay limited to the four packet hrefs. No other URL is added. No recipient, contractor, or donor name is invented to fill space. The facts remain the dollar total, the award count, the agency code, the agency name, the state name, and the state code.
