Department of State federal obligations in Oklahoma
The Department of State shows $353,151,181.76 in USAspending.gov obligations coded to Oklahoma, across 49 awards. Awarding-agency 019 and Oklahoma (OK) are the pair. Forty-nine awards against $353,151,181.76 is a thin State file. Few rows make a large implied mean; that mean is not a typical consular grant. The implied mean is about $7.21 million per award — a quotient of two packet facts, not a typical project. USAspending.gov is the source. Amounts are obligations, not outlays.
Key figures
- State Dept in Oklahoma: $353,151,181.76 across 49 USAspending awards.
- Implied mean about $7.21 million per record — a packet quotient, not a typical project.
- Agency 019 × OK is not a measure of passport issuances, unique posts, or foreign-service headcount.
- Cite obligations from USAspending.gov, not outlays.
- Oklahoma federal spending and Department of State are parents, not amounts to add into $353,151,181.76.
Forty-nine State awards tagged to Oklahoma
Department of State as awarding agency, Oklahoma as place-of-performance: 49 records summing to $353,151,181.76. A Department of State award coded outside OK is out. An award in Oklahoma from a different awarding agency is out even if the topic sounds related. Oklahoma (OK) excludes Texas, Kansas, Arkansas, Missouri, New Mexico, and Colorado. Place of performance is OK, not a Plains diplomatic region.
Forty-nine awards against $353,151,181.76 is a thin State file. Few rows make a large implied mean; that mean is not a typical consular grant. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not read 49 as 49 unique passport issuances, unique posts, or foreign-service headcount. The overlay Department of State in Oklahoma is the both-keys table. Oklahoma federal spending is the all-agency state hub. Department of State is the agency book without an OK filter. All spending ties lists other joins.
Oklahoma City and Tulsa are unpublished. Do not assign 49 rows to named facilities. Correlation is not causation: Oklahoma did not “cause” $353,151,181.76 by existing as a large or small place. Population and outcome scores are not packet facts. The join is 019 × OK only.
Not a passport-office census
$353,151,181.76 does not measure passport issuances, unique posts, or foreign-service headcount. Those series are not USAspending fields on this aggregate. The cell sums award obligations with awarding-agency code 019 and an OK place-of-performance tag.
Do not treat 49 awards as a census of passport issuances, unique posts, or foreign-service headcount. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If Oklahoma federal spending or Department of State matched $353,151,181.76 and 49, the join would be pointless. Use the overlay when both keys must stay on. Texas, Arkansas, and Kansas State joins are other pairs, not addends.
Oklahoma, not a two-city diplomatic map
Place of performance OK is a geography tag on the award, not a metro list and not a commuting zone. Oklahoma (OK) excludes Texas, Kansas, Arkansas, Missouri, New Mexico, and Colorado. Place of performance is OK, not a Plains diplomatic region. Recipient address can differ from that state tag.
Oklahoma City and Tulsa are unpublished. Do not assign 49 rows to named facilities. This packet does not split $353,151,181.76 by city, county, or named facility. 49 awards stay statewide. A county table would be a different extract.
Thin file, still commitments
Even a thick or thin file records obligations, not necessarily outlays. $353,151,181.76 can include amounts that pay on a later schedule. Citing it as cash already sent in Oklahoma confuses two concepts. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total.
Oklahoma’s own budget is a different ledger. Mixing it with the 49-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 $353,151,181.76. Sharing a state with State Dept does not mean campaign donations funded these awards.
Citing State in Oklahoma
Cite USAspending.gov: Department of State (agency 019) obligated $353,151,181.76 on 49 awards coded to Oklahoma. Name both sides. Keep “obligations.” Do not relabel the total as passport issuances, unique posts, or foreign-service headcount.
Prefer Department of State in Oklahoma if the overlay has refreshed after an ingest. Oklahoma federal spending still includes every other awarding agency tagged to OK. Department of State is the 019 parent without the OK filter. All spending ties indexes other pairs. Do not add those parents into $353,151,181.76.
A usable footnote names Department of State, Oklahoma, $353,151,181.76, and 49. The compact headline $353.2 million is that same dollar total rounded. It is not a second extract. The implied mean near $7.21 million is $353,151,181.76 divided by 49. Means are not medians. USAspending.gov remains the originating system.
